Life update | I got a new tattoo, quit my job and moved to the North

And just like that, it's September. For me, September is when a new year really starts, a new academic year, a fresh start and new beginnings. 

As you're reading this, I am galavanting around London on a Boris bike with some friends, reminiscing and enjoying our last day in close proximity as next week, I move to York. From the day I first applied to university in 2017, I knew that I would study at a university in the north, the cost of living is very appealing to me - a working-class Londoner. And next week, after a year and 3 months out of education, I am doing just that, starting university in York studying BSc Geography. With moving to a new city and starting university comes new content. I will be documenting my entire university experience from start to finish here on my blog and over on my Instagram. 

So, you know I've been working at a bar for the last 10 months and recently got promoted to a management role? Well... I quit. There's no tea to spill, it was a long time coming. I wasn't happy there, I didn't feel like the work I did was appreciated so, I handed in my notice and left with immediate effect. 

And now onto the real reason, most of you clicked on this post, my new tattoo. I wanted something to commemorate the end of my gap year. I was browsing through my tattoo board on Pinterest, which you can follow here, and I came across this particular design and fell in love. It's my first big piece and I think it compliments my other tattoos really well.
