So Day 1.... The Story of My Life (in 250 words)
Questionable Hawaiian shirt circa 1993 |
1. I was born in 1990, grew up in a village called Uppermill
near(ish) to Manchester with my 2 parents and 2
sisters. I have a pretty big extended
family. I love it when we’re ALL together. All 20-odd in one house. We
have shout, we
laugh, we get WAY TOO competitive. It’s carnage but it’s great.
2. I had 3 best friends at primary school, one
moved to Florida. But I still keep in touch with all of them,
however intermittently.
3. I started Blue Coat Secondary School. I met my
best friend on the very first day and gradually our group
grew. There are now 9
of us. They have given me some of my best memories over the past 10 years.
4. I moved to Southampton in 2008 for uni after
applying because apparently there’s much nicer weather in the
South (advice
from my Dad).While at uni I met the best group of girls. We lived, studied and
partied together
for 3 years. I miss those days.
5. I met Ally. We got together in second year of
uni, completely unexpected, so much so that some of my friend
literally laughed
in my face when I told them. But we’re still here 3 and a bit years later. He's one of the
reasons I'm still in the South.
6. I’m currently doing a PhD in Reading. Also keeping me in the South (for now). It’s
tough. I struggle to find
motivation sometimes. I feel like a fraud and that I’m
not really clever enough to be doing it.
Who knows what’s next.
hi! i found your blog through jenni @ story of my life. i love how you summed up your story using six bullets. it sounds to me like you're clever enough to be getting a PhD! don't sell yourself short :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Meghan. Sorry for the slow reply! I've been following your blog every day in May, you're doing a much better job than me!
DeleteI still feel like a fraud and I've got my PhD - i think everyone feels like that :). Especially when you think of people like Einstein who have PhDs.. You'll be fine
