Where it all begins

So, as I approach my final year of university, I've created a blog to see me through my final year and into my job search.


I decided to start the blog as a result of doing work experience at the Guardian Comment is Free. While there (I say there, I'm actually typing this in the Guardian offices) I discovered a whole realm of information through blogs. I must confess that I have always thought of blogs as a tool for the pretentious and the self-indulgent. However, there are so many blogs out there, it's impossible to generalise. Yes, there are some blogs which are somewhat self-indulgent. However, there are also genuinely informative blogs. Fashion blogs, political blogs, green blogs, celebrity blogs....


So, hopefully, this blog can guide me through my last year of university. Ultimately, I think it will be interesting to examine what I find out about job hunting - what should people do, what shouldn't they do etc. If fellow and future students can learn something about life as a student or about the search for a job then I think I'll be pretty chuffed.
