On Thursday 18th November it was the Leeds College Of Art graduation ceremony. We actually finished uni back in July but we only just had our ceremony for some reason. I managed to get a 2.1 in BA(Hons) Graphic Design which I am very proud of. Not too shabby for someone who did the last year of their degree whilst pregnant! I was so looking forward to seeing all my friends again now that pretty much everyone has moved back home from Leeds. In the picture above you can see me and my daughter along with my good friend (and sister in law to be) Jane and her son Joshua. We both got pregnant in the last year, we're a right pair haha! And theres me on the stage being awarded my certificate. There were so many bad pictures taken of me on this day. Thanks to Double Wear I had a great big fat white moon face!
Hoodie - American Apparel
Jacket - Primark
The main thing about graduation that I was looking forward to was being able to go on a night out afterwards. But everyone decided to go home or have a meal with their families apart from me and my friend Claire. The ceremony was so anticlimactic so I knew we had to make up for it by getting wrecked! This is what I wore on our adventure around Leeds. We went to Revs and had a cocktail pitcher which was so good but I think I've lost my drinking abilities! It took me ages to finish a single glass, its been way too long. I used to drink more than anyone and always left my trademark (being sick lol) in various pubs & clubs. But I just couldn't do it. Although we didn't really get drunk it was lovely to see Claire. I miss seeing my friends every day at uni so much!
After Claire went home I went out with my boyfriend which was basically epic fail. He made me go to Mezz instead of Wire because some people from his bar job at Gatecrasher were going. Mezz is quite possibly the worst club I have ever gone to. So we left after about 20 mins. Graduation was so crap compared to how I had imagined it to be. Thank god it will never happen again!
hah, I finished in june too and my graduation is tomorrow , whyyy did our universities wait for ages to have the ceremony!

Aw congrats! Mine was two weeks ago after leaving in June - very random too ha. I had a fab day but I agree it was such an anti-climax after waiting so long. It was really surreal. Oh well ha. You look cute in your pics :) x
ReplyDelete@dottie - ooh good luck for tomorrow! don't worry too much about the ceremony, you're literally on stage for 20 seconds max. i wore my flat brogues from urban outfitters because i'm like bambi in heels but there were plenty of ladies sporting ridiculous heels & they seemed to manage quite well! i took the pics in front of my wardrobe, my flat is packed full of stuff so this is the only place with a plain background lol.
ReplyDeletehey thanks for following my blog :D really like yours too! congratulations on your 2:1!!! i am ridiculously scared about graduating and it all coming to an end :| xxx
ReplyDeleteAww dude, big congrats! And that is amazing you got a 2.1 considering how crazy your final year must have been for you. You must be a super talented and dedicated girlie :) Looking gorgeous in those pics, is that you and your wee girl in the top one? major awww! ♥ my graduation day made me feel very grown up. now I know why they hand out that free champagne at the reception, the bubbles totally distracted me and made me happier than what I would have been :p xx
