It's fun to be a tourist in your own town. This is me celebrating it up big style, I finished uni with a 2:1, so now I’m officially a Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Promotion & Marketing.
congratulations, well deserved! yes, i like to do the touristy thing too. although i'm not originally from newcastle so it's probably easier for me. you can look at a place with fresh eyes, especially with a camera in hand.
i loved hearing how you & hollie met too...so romantic ;-)
well done on your 2:1! the thought of not have the education barrier around me sounds frightening. all these years of education has come up to that day when u finally have to start looking for a job in your field. scary shit.
massive, massive well done! a 2:1 is amazing (: aha, and tourist days are ridiculously fun, i love pretending to lack english speaking skills when i'm in shops and restaurants ;)
Me and my friend ae considering moving to London after we graduate although it's very, very pricey. A weeks rent there is a months around here which is crazy but I really enjoy the atmosphere of London, I find it really care free. If we did move down there I'd prefer to take the bus, something about the tube wasn't pleasent, felt really confined!
Hah! Classic tourist shot. Blackpool is such an awesome city. I was born in Southport so Blackpool was like our cheeky getaway when we were kids. The illuminations still make me giddy.
Congrats on finishing. You have a bright future, kid ;)
That photo IS such a classic! (to paraphrase J/styleeast).
Congratulations, Mat Buckets! I don't know what a 2:1 is (I saw your comment on Sabine's post, Nottingham for Dummies, and realised I hadn't visited for a while) but I do know what a Bachelor of Arts is, and that's a good thing!
What kind of work do you want? Is it graphic design? That's what I did in NY (& here, for a bit) - where do you want to be? London? Just how far north ARE you???
Congratulations, Mat! 2:1 hey?!... I would take you, but sadly I'm not in the arts field and heading a department in which you've got to speak German... Mmmh. But I'm sure you'll find something good soon.
How did I not congratulate you? I could have sworn I left you a long comment.. maybe I forgot to actually submit it. Anyway, congratulations - love this shot, it really is a classic. Congratulations on the 2:1 (don't really understand what that is, but it sounds good) - are you looking for work in graphic design?
Where will you live now? Any plans to come to London?
Last year is my senior year of college and I'm freaked, but not to the point where I've actually found something to do with my life. I want to go to grad school, I just don't know which one. I'm afraid of settling!
