Well hello there… I’ll stop with the Ws now. I was going to see if I could write this whole post in alliteration, but I thought that was far too much faff. It’s been a month since I was a uni student. I had my summer, I swiftly got bored of having so much free time, and as of a week and a half ago, I am officially a full-time employee. Eek! See, I’m not going to talk much about work. Not about what I do specifically or where I work or who I work with. Just that I am having

The end is near. In 12 hours, I will wake up much like Princess Anna of Arendelle on Coronation Day and it will begin. The day three years of work has led up to. The day that will be documented and printed on every single family member’s wall for the rest of my life. The day I graduate from the University of Birmingham. I thought I’d do this one in true ‘The School Saga’ fashion and write as I think. it’s Monday night, I have spent my last two hours ChatGPTing and googling

Almost 20 years in the education system has come to an end and I just feel kind of… numb. I got my results yesterday for my final year assignments, my dissertation and the classification I will be graduating with in just a few weeks. I’d been dreading it for ages; I always get this way with school results where I make myself sick with worry that I am going to fail. I have never failed anything before so I don’t know why I always think I will. I didn’t fail this time either.

I’m baaaaack! Did you miss me? I sure as hell missed you. Some of you may have noticed that this blog hasn’t been much more than a barren wasteland for the past year and a half. The particularly eagle-eyed among you may have also realised that endofapaige was actually just another ‘server not found’ floating around the ether of the internet for nearly a year. There’s good reason for that… I’ve just been busy man. I started endofapaige when I was 17. It started, first and fo

The earth spins once more and another year rolls in. I am yet again sat in my bedroom wondering just what I am doing with my life. I’ve evolved a lot in 2024. I’m starting to gain some confidence, something I never thought I’d manage. It helps having people around me singing my praises. You know that saying that’s like ‘say it enough and they’ll believe it’ that’s usually applied to bullying, I think it works for the positive stuff too. It’s my career mindset that has devel

Originally written for and published on redbrick.me Imagine it’s April 2023. I am sitting at work, bored out of my mind, thinking about the fact I am turning twenty in December. Naturally, what do you do? You impulsively book a trip away. It had always been a dream of mine to go to Hyde Park’s Winter Wonderland, so I booked a Premier Inn on the outskirts of London and forced my boyfriend to go halves on entry, thinking of anything I could cram into a long weekend. Once we arr

Happy Not-So-New-Anymore Year! How have you been? How was your Christmas? I’d caught that viral thing that’s been going around right on top of mine, so it was as good as it could be with no voice, running on no sleep, and throwing up. I am hoping to leave the illness in 2023, it did leave me on New Year’s Day which I am hoping is a good omen. That was one of my resolutions this year: get ill less. I am very prone to every cold and sick bug that crosses my path, but it was 202

As I write this now you are merely a week away, and fuck has your presence hit me like a truck.
