Amidst the flurry of exam stress
(you know the type – weeping, panic buying highlighters, watching 6 back to
back episodes of Made In Chelsea in order to pretend it’s not happening,) I
received a little electronic message of joy.
An email popped into my inbox
which was not actually from a) Groupon b) my tutor or c) LinkedIn. It was
instead from next year’s editor of The Courier newspaper, informing me that I’d
been chosen to be a Fashion Editor for the 2015/16 edition of the paper. A little tear of happiness
MAY OR MAY NOT have escaped.
I’ve written for The Courier newspaper since my
first year of Uni and absolutely loved it, and the opportunity to be editor for
the section I’m really passionate about is an absolute dream. Coveting a career
in journalism means that while my dreams are exciting, they’re also bloody hard
to reach. I’m more than aware that I need as much experience as possible to
even think about knocking on the doors of my favourite publications, and I’m so
thankful to those who recommended and picked me for helping me get one step closer.
A special shout out has to go to my predecessor, blogger pal and good friend AmyO’Rourke for giving me a heap of advice and listening to me stress 24/7. She’s
a gem.
I’m excited to see what being
a Fashion Ed brings, and I’ll keep you updated,
