What I was going to do when I graduated from high school was one of the hardest choices I had to make in my life (if it weren't already the hardest ever). For a long time I saw myself studying General History at the university of Antwerp. But that's not really how things went. It was already halfway september when I made my life changing decision. Why should I waste three to five years of my life worrying about examinations, thesis's, tasks, etcetera? Besides that, it would also mean that I would keep on struggling with my financial resources.

So from that day, I started looking for a job. I really thought it was going to take weeks or months until I would find one. But only a few days later I received a phone call from a job agency. They asked if I could work for two weeks as a student at H&M's in Antwerp. I accepted the offer and worked there for two weeks. After that Christel, my supervisor, asked me if I would like to stay working there. I was enthusiastic about it, but she said I had to work another 200 hours in duty of the agency. After that they would offer me a contract for a trial period.

Working at H&M's is quite fun actually. At first, it was rather boring because I was only allowed to clean up the racks and label the clothes. But after a week or so, I was allowed to help at the registers and work on the 'look' of the store itself. Christel said that I would become responsible of the men's department. I'll see what the future brings, but for now, I'm loving what I'm doing and how my life is going. (No matter how slow this progress is going.)
