So my two years at Aberdeen College are up! In this two years I've learnt a lot, met people I know are going to be friends for life and I guess I've grew up a little bit, too. In this time it's also changed it's name. Although applying to Aberdeen College, I'll now be graduating 'North East Scotland College'.
I've been studying HND Communication with Media for the past two years. Media has always been a field that's interested me. I love creating and writing so there was really no other path I could choose. I knew half way through school I wanted to be a radio host, or work behind the scenes on television. There's no way in telling I'll even end up doing anything like that in the future, but at least I'm doing what I want to do, right now.
When I was leaving school and trying to figure out what to do; work? study? cry? - I took some time in really weighing out my options and decided that going to college and studying this course was something I did really want to do. My parents tried to tell me there wasn't much jobs in the media for me, but I knew I wanted to do this. At one point they even tried to push me into travel and tourism, but I knew media was for me.
Alas, despite coming to an end of my college course, my education is not over. After summer I'll be attending Robert Gordon University to study Media. Hurrah!
So I guess the moral of my education story is to do what YOU want to do, don't be influenced by parents, or teachers, or friends. I mean, listen to them, sure. But at the end of the day you know what you really want to do, and that might be nothing to do with education at all. But you don't want to look back on your life and think 'what if?'
I'm happy to say I'll be graduating my course with two A's, which I'm pretty proud of. I'm so glad I decided to do this course and it's been the best two years of my life!
Goodbye College!
