Student VS Unemployed

I thought I would do a fun(ish) table on what differences I have noticed from being unemployed

verses being a student.

For me the biggest difference I noticed was just in my mindset and how changing the label from unemployed person to student boosted my mental health. But the following are just a few other differences I have noticed.

I will say I never in a million years thought I would be loving study as much as I do, I genuinely look forward to class and enjoy doing the assignments (most of the time!). Starting my diploma almost 2 weeks ago was terrifying but so far so good and it's nice to build onto my skills and expand my knowledge of Community Services. I am so thankful to have great support around me and for me to able to study and not feel like I have to look for work. I will say a part of me is worried what will happen once I get my diploma on the front but I am giving it to God and know that he has right job out there for me.
