It's like people always say, you might pass your driving test but your not a good driver until you have been driving on your own for like a year. You're not wise until you've explored the world and seen the harsh reality. You're not going to make it in an industry solely based on a First in your degree, it's the experience that means the most.
I think I've always known this, you can learn more from experience than you can from sitting in a class room and listening to someone telling you how to do something or how to be something. Yes, you do have to go to School, College or University to have the education behind you but without the aid of first hand experience, what makes you any different from all the other people with the same education?
This being fact, encourages me to gain all the experience I can in life, from jobs, people, events, places, travel and holidays - there's different experience and different lessons in everything that we do. This is why since starting my degree I have been trying to organise work experience and after many emails and many rejections the work experience offers are finally gracing my inbox.
Today has been a good day, maybe because I have secured my first week of work experience, (if only at Perfect Weddings Magazine in Bristol) the sun was shining, I'm on top of everything on my to do list or maybe because every things falling in to place and making sense.
Whatever the reason, it's made me smile a lot and from experience happiness is one of the keys to success :)
