My Graduation!!!

So last Tuesday as some of you may know was a special day for me! I finally graduated from university!! I finally got my degree in Environmental Planning from Glasgow Caledonian University. I started uni in September of 2008, so quite a long time ago now. I met the love of my life there and had a good time. Although in the end I knew uni wasn't for me and I struggled for the third year. I wasn't really interested in the course, it didn't gel together well for me and I was confused by what my outcome would be. So I decided that I would not do my fourth year to get an Honours degree, a degree is good enough for me! I'm so pleased I am finally free and have something to show for those four years, and obviously not to mention Robert! That is the one thing I would say to anyone wanting to go to university.... Make sure you know what your course is going to entail, what subjects you will be doing and of course you have to love what it is going to be about!! 

So onto the day! First up I will do a little Face of the Day for you girlies! I just wanted a nice natural look and didn't want to go to heavy and dark with my make up. Overall I was really pleased! So Here I am!

Ok So now onto the day! Woohoo, it was really exciting actually having to go up and get your gown and hood. I had to pick it up from the uni and then walked over to the Royal Concert Hall, which is where my graduation was held. I waited until my mum got there to put on my gown. Then when Robert and my dad got there we went up and got photos taken!! I don't have them back yet, but when I do I will show you them! Ok so all of the photos of the graduation and of me in my gown, were all taken either by my dad or Robert, so I cannot be blamed for the shoddiness of some the photos!! Hehe!

I am wayyyy up the back on the right hand side lol! It was funny because I could see my parents and Robert trying to find me, but they kept pointing at other people and then eventually Robert spotted me!! Haha, I was waving like mad at them trying to get there attention! I was so pleased that I got three tickets as well, because it wouldn't have been the same without Robert there! I just love him so much! I had such a good day, it did get a bit tedious watching everyone go up onto the stage, I was kind of glad I was in the last 10 though, because then I knew it was over!! Hehe, it wasn't too long to be fair, we were in there for about and hour and 45 minutes. It felt totally like a dream when I was coming up onto the stage and then when I had to walk to get my degree. I couldn't even here the clapping or my dad and Robert cheering! Here are some photos after the ceremony!

My Hood!

Robert and I!

My Dad!!

And My Mum!

So it was a very special occasion and we all had a brilliant day. I had to take my gown and hood back up to the uni, so my mum and dad went down to get a table at my favourite restaurant for dinner, obviously TGI Friday's! I had a strawberry daiquiri cocktail to celebrate! Hehe and had a big 3 course meal which was scrummy!!

Top - New Look

TGI Friday's!

My mum treated me to a new charm for my Pandora bracelet too which was so nice of her, she must of sneakily bought it while going to TGI's! She got me one of the new charms, for this Christmas, a sparkly dangling star! So lovely! To see my other charms click here and here!

So that was my day! I am so glad that it finally happened! Graduation for me took its time! Robert graduated before me in June, click here to have a read about his day! Also congrats to anyone else who graduated during November! Well done us! Thanks for reading about my special day!

Robert's Graduation Day!!

So yesterday was a very special day! My amazing boyfriend, Robert graduated from university!! I was actually SO SO SO PROUD!!

Robert and I met at university, you see at the start in September 2008. We did the same course, Environmental Management and Planning. I could probably say that from the moment we met, we have never been apart! Like two magnets that have just stuck together! Robert always says that he came to university for me and he is so glad to have went and that I am his prize! Hehe he is strange, but cute!!


Robert is actually a joiner, and has his own company (he is 5 years older than me), so university for him was a break and he did it just at the right time with the start of the recession! Anyway after his first year at uni he began working again and was doing uni as well! I ended up not doing my fourth year, which is why I did not graduate today as well, so I'm just getting a Degree and Robert has just got his Honours Degree!! What happened with me and he uni is a longgg story and for another post!! This one is all about Robert! Yay!


So Robert did so well all through the course and was determined to get through all the work and work at the same time! His dissertation was amazing and he got a 2:1 Honours Degree (which is the best after a 1st!) So proud! Here are some pictures of the day!

This was the only picture I got of Robert walking across to get his degree! I was just so excited and my tummy was doing cartwheels and I was also too busy cheering! Hehe

My dress is from New Look

Bye bye Glasgow Caledonian University!

The ceremony didn't seem as long as what I was expecting. It was done in classes and Robert was around the middle, so it was exciting waiting for his row to go and then I was trying to calm back down after it!! Hehe! It was a really good, happy day and after we went for dinner with Roberts mum and dad and had a lovely meal! Congratulations to any one else out there who has or is graduating this month!

Love, Jen x
