I graduated last Friday... again!
So... I might've spent 6 years at university, the first 4 years studying Psychology - mainly because I was fresh out of high school, experiencing social/identity perplexities and was on the hunt for meaning, purpose, reason.... you know, the usual developmental stages of a teenager. This bachelor's degree worked better than counseling or going to see a Psychologist. With 20k of HECS debt... I really did expect results. Eventually, I realised it wasn't something I can develop into.
Off I went, back into the wood works for 2 years of Masters. I learned more about empathy than I did in Psychology. I earned countless acquaintances and not enough friends to count. The first semester consisted of 4 days of work per week and skipping a lot of classes. By the time I began to attend uni studiously, cliques were formed and groups were established. Sprinkle some anti-social behaviour and Voila! I graduated with Distinction average - not that it matters in a Masters degree...
I told my mum that I'll go back to do my PhD one day, she threatened to throw all my make up away and told me "NO MORE UNI!!!!!"
Now to the makeup breakdown....
Here's a picture of everything I used
Another gorgeous dress from Review Australia (http://review-australia.com/)
Shoes from Rivers Australia (http://www.rivers.com.au/) - I swear they have really comfortable shoes!

I ordered two standard sized photos for $66 (by standard, I mean the ones you usually get developed for 10c at a photo shop) highway robbery? I'm still waiting for the photos to be delivered... so here's one I ripped off the online preview.

ReplyDeleteThank you Ty! ^^
DeleteYay congratulations :) Love the dress x
ReplyDeleteThanks lovely!! ^_^
DeleteCongratulations on your Masters Lily! I also did something similar. Fresh out of high school and wasn't sure exactly what to do, so I took something that sounded really interesting. I loved what I was studying but I found out belatedly, that it wasn't an area I wanted to work in. So I'm back doing my Masters and I can definitely relate to the anti-social behaviour come exam time. LOL - Masters, for me at least, is proving to be wayyyy tougher than undergrad.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations once again!
Thanks Valentine! ^_^ Oh, when I started my Masters, I had absolutely no idea what the hell was going on. The pracs really helped me to get a grasp of what I'm studying. I think fieldwork should be integrated into more courses... I had no exposure to anything other than research in Psych, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Best of luck for your degree!!
DeleteCongratulations Lily! Best of Luck! xox
ReplyDeleteThanks Loz!!! ^_^
DeleteCongrats Lily!! The photos are awesome, love the makeup.

Congratulations! I spent 5 years at university and hated every second if it. I can definitely appreciate how much work you must have done and what an achievement this is. A masters sure is impressive. I always wanted to do psychology I thought it would be incredibly interesting. Love your dress. I wore a review dress for my graduation too. It's definitely the way to go!!
