I was in 2nd year uni, didn’t know how to put a wash on, living off ready meals, getting pissed every other night - had a lot of growing up to do 😂

I’m almost 30 now and can’t believe how childush I was compared to now

Starting a long and quite dull “career” as a secretary (series of dead-end boring jobs). The typing has proved handy for working from home, all these years later. I lived at home. Had a brief flirtation with clubbing and posing but when I had my own flat, had less cash for dancing and prancing.

2nd year at uni, living in uni accommodation. Working part time in a supermarket. Hung up on an absolute waste of time and drinking far far too much because of it.
30 has been much better 😂

At uni, living at home, just started dating my now ex husband and going clubbing with the girls most weekends. Feels like forever ago!

I was at uni in a different part of the UK, newly married, living in the middle of nowhere and loving it. But life was just about to shut up on me like a telescope so it's a tricky time to think about.

I was at university, living with family and working 2 part-time jobs. It was only few years ago but I still miss it lol. I'm now happily married and training at my job for my chosen profession. Wishing I could be 8 stones again lol.

At university finishing my second year, and starting my third year placement year which was great fun. I made a couple of great friends there but don’t keep in touch with anyone at uni apart from the couple of school friends who also went to the same uni as me. I split up with the boyfriend I’d been with for a couple of years at the beginning of that summer who was from home, it meant I had plenty of fun in that placement year 😂

Dating a dick head, had quite a good job, out 4 nights a week, living at home paying £25 a week rent and my bed was still being made. Blissful days (apart from wanker boyf)

I was in community college and living with my parents (still do). I spent a lot of time trying to make friends but they ended up being toxic or not interested in me (I only keep in touch with a few) . My social anxiety has only gotten worse since then. Still single to this day but received my first kiss within the next 2 years. I'm in uni now and not much has changed.....

I was away at uni loving life. It honestly was such a great time in my life. I had no real worries or responsibilities

I was still living with my parents, had just passed my test and bought a little car, was working full time doing office admin and was out partying 3 or 4 nights a week 😂. I saved zero money and spent it all on clothes and alcohol.

The things I’d change are the relationship I was in at the time (wish I’d stayed single) and I wish I’d travelled a lot more instead of just the standard Spanish holidays.
