Ever since we begin our lives of education way back down in primary school, we have this annual routine of summer, christmas and half term holidays drilled into us. Furthermore we can often feel like we've had too much time off if we go beyond these designated holiday time periods.
With all of this in mind, the usual summer holiday usually lasts about 6/7 weeks, however it has now been just over two months since I finished university, and I'm actually starting to miss it and wishing it would start up again. This isn't the first year I've felt this way either, over the last couple of years during the summer I've found myself reaching a point where you just start to get a bit tired of chilling out and being on holiday, and you just want to get back to school.
What's even stranger about this feeling is that it seem specifically school/education type work related, like how it used to be back in GCSE's and A-level's when I had numerous on-going projects, folders full of papers, and spending hours each day doing work that I thoroughly enjoy.
Lately I have been able to counteract this feeling through the help of my mum starting up her old business. Because of this she's needed a new website being created, social media accounts being set-up and logos and headers being made. With my mum asking for my help in completing this tasks I've been able to put my I.T skills back in to use and have something to sink my teeth back into.
What's worry about this is, depending on what kind of work I get into after I finish university, I won't have school anymore after next year. Hopefully whatever line of work I do get into will be able to replace this feeling later on. Is this feeling just unique to me or something that lots of other people out there have? Not that long now till university.
