11.) Eat your favourite snack.

I'm hella excited to share this blog post with you guys because I actually managed to get some Autumn Bath and Body Works bits??? I mean, I'm living my own dream here.
I came so close to titling this 'I didn't get a proper job after uni, and that's okay', but I had to hold right up before I full on raged at myself. So let's get this out here in this post anyway: any kind of job is a real job or a proper job, okay? Just because someone doesn't work 9-5 or earns the minimum wage, doesn't make their job less valid than yours.
