Please wash your dishes

Wash your dishes
It’s not that hard
You weren’t born in a barn,
or a stable, or a yard.

The sink is too small

for you to wash one small cup.

Your flatmates aren’t your servants,
or your keepers, or your mothers,
And those who wash their own things
Needn’t worry about others.

It seems that we’re put under so much pressure at a young age Expected to know what we want to do with our lives, make the right choices, get the best grades. And expected to somehow, come out of it all okay. We’...

Endings:

I made the decision to leave my university course – and not being able to change courses so late in the year then meant leaving the university and my flat until next year. And this was all damn hard .My life has been full of turbulent change since September, and just when I felt settled again I had to rip it all out from under me . I've been left with debts to pay, had to find a new job, and adjust to being back home. But , things could still be worse . I’ve got my health, a supportive family and even more supportive friends. And I don’t regret one second at university – even with all the flat drama and the course- as there’s still so much I’ve learnt these past couple of months. And sometimes in life you’ve got to weigh up what is most important to you. It was nearly a year ago now that I choose to do this course . It all happened because I was told that I needed to do a degree with an “actual job” at the end of it, not a useless one.I choose a degree that...
