The End Of An Era: My Graduation

A week ago, I experienced indeed the most happiest moment in my entire life: After 18 years of hard work and obsession with learning English to become fluent and working 3 horrible years after school just to study in the UK, I finally graduated!!

I did it! No one thought I would actually manage to go through with this, including me! After all, saying “I’m going to get a degree in the UK” for almost 2 DECADES made me sound like I was just saying it for the sake of it. But I’ve pushed through and I’m so incredibly proud of myself!!

Last year, when Lodz graduated, I was laughing at the silly robe and the even sillier hats, but I gotta say, it has been my most favourite outfit to wear ever – even if it’s the most unflattering of them all. It was such an exciting moment to put that robe and that hat on and I swear I was walking 10 inches taller than normal!


Sequin Black Dress: Love Label
Cat Eye Sunglasses: Dorothy Perkins
Nude Clutch Bag: Ted Baker (*) (gifted by Lodz)
Black & White Cross Straps Shoes: Wallis


And it was so amazing to see all my friends in their outfits as well, getting rewarded for their hard work too. :)

There was a lot of crying, a lot of smiling, a lot of drinking but I think it was all worth it :)

In the same week I also hit over 1,000 Google Friend Connect followers so I’ll be holding a MASSIVE giveaway to celebrate my graduation and this fantastic achievement for my blog hopefully very, very soon!!
So stay tuned for the epic giveaway!!
