Four years of student living - encapsulated by lecture theatres, late nights, fun, adventure, lifelong friendships, new experiences and unforgettable memories has unwillingly come to a steady stop. Some of my fellow comrades venture across the pond to internships in London, or down under to experience winter in paradise. Others have the patience to persue another year of academia and scrimping as a student. Others have even crawled back into their parent’s pockets until they find their feet and make their next move. I however have decided to take a year away from books and travel and enter the working world!!!

| Welcome to Luigi's! |
It all begins with a summer job as a marketing assistant for Luigi Malones Restaurant. This will involve meeting and speaking to customers, liaising with staff, loyalty scheme improvement, database management, e-mail campaign strategy, social media campaigns and much more. I have welcomed this project with open arms to throw me into the deep end. As I enter foreign territory, I see the theory I have studied in practice and am learning more from my brilliant professional colleagues than I ever have in a lecture, from an assignment or in the library. I finally see the wheels that turn behind the scenes. All of a sudden the reports and presentations I wholeheartedly dreaded while in college make sense. I understand the purpose behind the theory and finally the penny has dropped!
I’m swiftly setting sale from the student lifestyle I grew to love. This means reclaiming back my weekends – living for them in fact! And it means acclimatising to a working week. I’m finding myself tucked up by 10pm ready for an early morning in the office, getting used the sound of an alarm clock again and quite worryingly developing a caffeine addiction to fuel the early mornings!!!

As I move on to a whole new chapter I will miss the lifestyle I leave behind, but I am excited for what lies ahead..... and extremely excited for lunch time at Luigi's - my favorite Toberlone Cheese cake - Yum.
