9 lessons life as a graduate has taught me (4-6)
Living With Your Partner Ain’t All Flowers And Rainbows
After being in a long distance relationship with the love of my life, it was exciting to finally be living together in our first little flat. However, we clashed from day one. I wanted to recycle, he point blank refused. He wanted to buy expensive olives, I was happy with Asda’s own brand. And we both still fight over who should do the dishes.
Sound familiar?
#LIFETIP: both learn to accept each other habits, but improve your own too. This is the biggest challenge of living together, but after almost a year the pros are definitely weighing out the cons! He makes me ridiculously happy, and that's all that counts in the grand scheme of things right?
5. Don’t Stop Until You Find What You Love To Do
Don’t give up - being a Graduate in the real world can be tough, but it’s character building. If it was easy, everybody would do it.
#LIFETIP Keep fighting to find what you love and nail it. You may be spending most of your time working, so make sure you are passionate about it.

See Steve Jobs incredibly motivational speech!
6. Know Your Worth
This has been a very valuable life lesson I’ve discovered recently. How can you expect others to know what you're worth, if you don’t know this yourself?
This last year, I've honestly felt like a lost sheep - a small fish in a big pond. I’ve always felt like there was something missing, like I didn’t realise why things were going wrong in my life/job. I expect many Graduates feel this way, but I think knowing your worth is a good first step to improving your happiness, success and future. The reason this may get overlooked is because you never really know the true value of your education or life experiences until a situation to showcase them arises.

#LIFETIP: Keep grabbing every opportunity to show what you're made of and how valuable you are. Keep putting your all into every task, keep changing and improving yourself, and never settle for less than you're worth. The sooner you realiser this, the stronger and happier you will be, and the more respect you will get from others!
