Happy August everyone! <3

So sorry that this is a little late — but I’d really love to hear anything you’ve done in July that you’re proud of! As always, feel free to write down as many achievements as you wish :3

Here are my achievements:
- I graduated!
- I replied more to my friends and opened up to them a bit more about how I’m really feeling
- Had a job interview, and although I didn’t get the job in the end, the employers told me that I was part of the 4 that got shortlisted for the interview out of 26 applicants, which I’m extremely proud of!

Well done for getting through July everyone! Hope you all have a lovely August <3

    Yayyy congratulations on graduating @kaii this is a huge achievement !!! It sounds like you've worked so so hard. Also well done on being shortlisted and you're so right - even though you didn't get the job this time, you clearly have a lot of skills and stood out to them. There will be a next time !

    I have a few small ones I think.

    - Working on my CV and I think it looks the best it ever has

    - Completing counselling sessions in person at a center which I finished a couple of weeks ago in July, I think it's good because I could have done with it for years but put it off and couldn’t get the courage to do it

    -Staying at home not fully alone with someone but with my main family members gone, I know some people live alone younger than me or my age but I was given some responsibilities I wasn't normally used to, I think it shows I could probably manage alone in a house, it would just be budgeting.

    -I think keeping going despite things being tough

    Small things but sometimes still positive.

    @Redemption, thank you so so much! Honestly I'm in that rut of applying for jobs after graduation - although the process is challenging and laborious, it's not all doom and gloom - I'm happy that I take a step back and reflect on moments that I'm really proud of, like getting shortlisted :smile:

    Best of luck with your job search too! I hope you also take moments to reflect on what you did well each time you apply for jobs - I'm so proud of you for not giving up, and for reaching out whenever you need help <3

    Thank you so much for sharing your achievements - it's so satisfying completing a CV that you're extremely proud of! And huge well done for completing your counselling sessions - I'm really glad that you prioritised your mental health, and I hope you've found them helpful :smile: also good job for taking on more responsibility with your main family members gone - it's great to hear that it's given you the confidence to live alone!

    Really well done for getting through July everyone, keep track of all the wins this month, no matter how big or small. Extremely extremely proud of you all!! :3<3

    No worries @kaii thank you for the kindness and positively. I appreciate these threads give us all a chance to note down and recognise big or small achievements or even tiny one's, they are all great. I probably wouldn't live alone personally because I'd get lonely but when I get a Mrs and ive in with her I'd be more confident probably and split responsibilities but something to improve on this front is learn to cook. We're all proud of you too, I hope you're well, hope we get jobs soon. Tough but gotta keep at it

    To be honest I don't have many things that I achieved in July sadly. But here are the things I did manage to achieve.
    ● held a talk for epilepsy
    ● won a golf game
    ● raised money for a charity
    ● finished writing the first chapter of my new book
