Striking The Balance

 I got my first job sometime around the second year I think. Nothing quite compares to that first paycheck and knowing that you're actually making money. But what happens when you're part time job starts taking priority over the job that been studying for? I recently found myself in a similar situation. One thing I pride myself on is giving something ( a job, my relationships, life) my very best. I absolutely loved the job I had. I worked with the best of the best. But somewhere along the line, I think I forgot what I was working towards with my studies. The thing about life is that once you start balancing one thing, you find yourself to juggle another multitude of responsibilities. For some people, this works perfectly fine. I think for a lot of other people(myself included, this may require you slow down, take a deep breath and refocus on what exactly you're working to. I hope you're aren't reading this thinking I was able to do the same thing. We do howe...

I'm expecting!! But possibly not in the manner you're thinking- sorry lol Expectation is defined as a strong belief that something will happen or be the case. So what do you do when you're expecting? Pregnant women have a number of checklists, appointments, and other things they work their way through once they find out the little one is on the way. Where am I going with this you're probably wondering? It hit me that as university students we almost go through the same thing. We watch our bodies change in one shape or another. We deal with the non-stop oohs and ahhhs of finally approaching the end. The sleepless nights that come with this. After 9 months we finally meet our baby graduation. Depending on how well this goes you start thinking about baby number two *Masters* At moments this whole process has felt like a non-stop roller coaster.  And at other moments, it's felt like time has moved at snail's pace.   So here I am with a...

Welcome back to my blog. So before we progress, do you like food? If so what's your favourite? As you've guessed this blog is to do all with food. I personally think that the best part of university has been the food consumed. Often with people as a form of catching up. Till recently, I'd always thought food and I had a good thing going. However, at the beginning of the fourth year or possibly earlier. It became evident that this wasn't the case. People had been mentioning that I was looking a bit skinnier than usual. Had I really though? Turns out they had been right. I dropped in clothing size ( something that I thought was a good thing ) and I was probably having one big meal a day with snacks in between. I really had to take a moment to re-evaluate how I'd got here( Side note University will make you re-evaluate your life a number of times lol)  At the time, I was hit with a memory of me telling someone how I could survive on one big meal. This really s...

Hi, Bonjour, Hola! Welcome to my blog. Striking the balance. My name is Lushomo a twenty-something Business Technology student. For those of you that know me, I have always wanted to make one of these. Thankfully the opportunity finally came  along. So, you may be wondering, what exactly do I have to blog about? Well, I'm in my final year of university. I am  surprised that I've got this far too. I really wanted to document my final months somehow. For the most part, my blog will highlight just that. Different areas of my life including university and how I've "tried" to strike the balance( see what  I did there? ) between my varying responsibilities.  No one tells you how quickly time goes by.  It has been mentioned just how quickly the final year of university goes by. In some ways, I've blinked and *poof*   only 2 months to go. Or maybe more, I really haven't been counting. If you were/are currently in a similar posi...
