Thank you to Stefanie Mutton for sharing her experiences of graduate life!

This is an interesting way to share the insights of graduates! I never went to uni but I feel like the transition period going into a job can be quite similar!
Thank you! Yes I’m sure it is, it’s all so new and strange!
I definitely agree that there should be more resources for new graduates! It’s very hard navigating the workplace, or even finding a job.

It really is! It’s reassuring to know everyone is in the same boat too.
This was interesting to read ; I always kind of assumed that there was a good support system for people who have just graduated but I never considered how that would come about. Something for me to think about in the next 2 years!
It’s pretty bad that there isn’t, sadly we’re just left to it which is why I’ve made this blog!
I totally agree! It’s vey normal to feel confused as to what you are supposed to do right after you graduate! I definitely think there needs to be more help and resources available for this!
It is so common and so natural, it’s important that people don’t feel alone!
These are always so interesting to read! It’s definitely normal to feel confused after uni, I think it can take some of us a while to decide what we want to do. I think it’s perfectly fine these days to try a few different things until you find the career you love. Thank you for sharing! <3 xx

I’m glad you think so! I couldn’t agree more, it all takes time! Xx
It’s such a confusing time of life – so many personal and educational changes at once!
I know right, it’s very difficult to handle!
Good to know that works too! I learn so much from you as well! Keep it up great post.
