A little context…
If you have ever done a masters degree immediately after your undergraduate, I can guarantee someone asked you: “Is this a panic masters?” I certainly heard this a lot.
Even though I did use my masters to delay facing life outside of the protective education bubble, I didn’t apply to it last minute or in a panic. I knew I wanted to do it, because I had NO IDEA what else I wanted to do. And, at the time, I still enjoyed education.
Shortly into the first semester of my masters, I ruled out the idea of a PhD. So the job search began.
I would describe my first job hunt as window shopping. I didn’t know what I was looking for and I had no intention of sending off applications.
It was an invaluable browse. I decided I needed to do more with my time - develop my skills and passions.
I began writing articles for the student newspaper and, to my surprise, loved it.
Whilst trying to boost my CV, I found a new hobby - writing. The student newspaper acted as the perfect platform to share my articles, but I soon graduated.
I wanted to continue writing but I didn’t want to fill a folder on my laptop with word documents, to never look at them again.
So I made SAOR WORDS - a platform for me to facilitate my hobby.
