Life Updates!

 

Hi loves 💌

Honestly, SO much has happened lately and I have quite a lot to catch you up on. So grab a drink, get comfortable, and let's have a little life catch-up... 🎀

As you all know by now, I've started school again. Last Monday we had a college come [first of many] in to talk about the opportunities there and it was really cool. I already know what I want to do anyways cause I've spent a lot of time researching but it was still nice to hear about other opportunities form a college directly. I don't wanna have all my eggs in one basket so literally as soon as October hits I'm applying EVERYWHERE. 

My main goal is to land an apprenticeship in either Financial Services, Consulting/Advising or Paraplanning. Ideally it would be a big bank/firm maybe - I'm thinking Deloitte, HSBC or Barclays. As a backup I'm going to apply to T-Levels as well. I just want to bag as many opportunities as possible now and decide July/August so I'm not freaking out a month before GCSEs.

To help with this:

I've signed on to a LOT of relevant talent pools and of course that includes my big 3 [Deloitte, HSBC, and Barclays].Completed many hours of Virtual work experience via Spring pod and Unifrog and started building some understanding via Investopedia. Most of these I completed during summer so my work load isn't huge but it's still a little overwhelming sometimes along Period 6's and studying. Oh and I also joined the Black Apprentice Network [BAN] they host loads of events which I thought would be really useful. I even had my first event on Monday, I found it super insightful it was about the process of applying to apprenticeships as a whole. 

Guys, obviously I know this is a lot but I'm bit of a control-freak and overachiever when it comes to these type of things. I just hate leaving things to chance idk. It's a bit crazy isn't it. 

Sometimes I feel I spend too much time thinking about like the future and worrying about that sort of stuff when I know I'm supposed to enjoy my youth and all that. Like don't worry I have friends and its a small group but they're literally the best. So  I'm still trying to enjoy my youth instead of going full beast mode yet. 

Geez, this is a long post.

Thank you soo much for reading this, sending lots of love ☆.♡o｡

What are your plans after school? or if you're not in school, what about goals?

[Guys I totally recommend using Spring pod and Unifrog, they're genuinely so amazing and have helped me soo much]
