As I was crossing the road to enter the graduation hall, I spotted the first person with a graduation gown, and I felt anxious in a good way. I called my friend to come pick me up from the front of the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall so I could take some photos of him before the graduation ceremony started.
I took lots of lovely photos, and he was pleased with them. We entered inside, showed a pass to the security guide, and I found my way to my seat with the guidance of my friend, who was graduating.
It was such a beautiful sight; they all walked out, holding their certificates and diplomas like they were the keys to a whole new world. I sat there, soaking it all in and enjoying every bit of the ceremony. People were buzzing with excitement. I could hear the laughter and cheers of invited friends and family, and everyone was eager to capture the perfect moment on video. The energy skyrocketed when names were called—screams, cheers, and the sweet chaos of celebration filled the air. It was a genuine outpouring of pride and happiness for each graduate.
After the graduation, we headed to the university building. Lots of students continued taking photos while the social media team of the university was trying to gather students for photos that would be used on the university website.
Having taken some photos of my dress, I entered the library area to warm myself up because it was a very cold day. At that moment, I found myself pondering:
1. How many of these students genuinely require this degree?
2. Will they make practical use of the knowledge gained?
3. Could the funds spent on tuition have been invested in more innovative pursuits?
4. Are some of these students on a celebratory path that might not align with their true destinies?
5. How many of these students would never use this certificate?
6. How many of these students does the UK actually provide job opportunities for?
I kept thinking about these questions as I watched students come and go in the library area.
The UK takes in lots of students each year for educational purposes, and lots of them leave their jobs and high-ranking positions with the mindset of getting a decent job after studying in the UK, but for most foreign students, this is far from reality.
Why would the UK admit students into master's programmes only to find them often starting at the lowest job levels in the real world? If they meet the qualifications for a master's degree, shouldn't the knowledge imparted enable them to attain roles at a corresponding level?
To what extent have these foreign students truly achieved success? This was the question that kept coming to mind as I looked at all of them dressed in their beautiful outfits.
I read an article before sharing this post, which states that international graduates encounter a significant challenge in securing graduate-level employment in the UK. Currently, only 7% of all international graduates succeed.
If the UK stands by the quality of education it imparts to foreign students, why the struggle for these graduates to secure well-paying jobs? It's more straightforward for a UK citizen with a bachelor's degree to secure employment than it is for a foreigner armed with a PhD. This stark reality demands scrutiny and explanation.
How much have these foreign students accomplished?
When I looked at this dress, what came to mind were images of weddings, festive seasons, and prom nights. This Modlily maxi dress beautifully encapsulates the essence of celebration.
The dusty blue color
Dusty blue is a color with timeless grace. It's a shade that effortlessly combines sophistication and subtlety, making it a versatile choice for various special occasions.
The soft, calming tone of this dress is perfect for weddings. Whether you're a guest, bridesmaid, or even the bride herself, the dusty blue hue complements the romantic atmosphere of a wedding. It's a color that symbolizes serenity and trust, two essential qualities for a lasting marriage.
Tulle and elegance
Tulle is a fabric that has been synonymous with weddings for ages. Tulle's light and airy nature adds a touch of whimsy and romance to any dress. In this case, it adds a dreamy quality to the dress, making it perfect for dancing the night away at a wedding or prom.
The A-line silhouette with the tulle overlay provides a flattering and graceful look. The skirt gently flares out, creating a princess-like effect that makes you feel like you're part of a fairytale. Whether you're twirling on the dance floor or walking down the aisle, this dress is designed to make you feel like a queen.
Oh, Scotland's got this wild weather, I'm tellin' ya! One minute, it's all sunshine and rainbows , then BAM! Rain and gloom in the blink of an eye. So, just before I took these pics, I thought, "Hey, the sun's gonna make an appearance." But nope, it didn't. Still, I went for it. Wind had other ideas, though, it messed up my hair and had my dress twirlin' like a dance-off with the breeze. I was shiverin', not gonna lie, but hey, I was thrilled to finally show off this Modlily design Navy Umbrella Hem Sequin A Line Dress. You know what's the bomb?

I recently stepped out in my navy sequin dress, and it felt like I was wearing a dress fit for a wedding, particularly the mother of the bride dress style. My dress shimmered with sequins, giving it a glamorous yet sophisticated look. It is a two-set dress that came with a chiffon coat, which I paired with a chiffon coat that flowed elegantly as I walked, adding a touch of grace to my outfit.
To complete the look, I opted for white heels that not only made me feel taller but also added a fresh, modern twist. But what's the secret to keeping things simple while making a statement? My go-to choice: pearl earrings. These classic gems added a touch of timeless elegance without overshadowing the rest of the ensemble.
I love this combination because it lets the outfit shine. Sometimes, simplicity is the key to making a lasting impression. So, when you want to make a statement without being too flashy, consider the power of classic accessories like pearls.
But how should the mother of the bride dress? gorgeous ofcos.
Now, let's draw inspiration from the royals, who often wear dresses paired with coats. There are several reasons behind this choice:
1. Sophistication: Coats exude sophistication and formality. They instantly elevate an outfit, making it suitable for formal occasions.
2. Practicality: Coats provide warmth, especially in chilly or transitional seasons like fall. They allow royals to maintain an elegant appearance while staying comfortable.
3. Versatility: A coat can be removed when indoors, revealing a beautiful dress. This dual-layer outfit ensures that royals are appropriately dressed for both indoor and outdoor settings.
4. Iconic Style:Many iconic fashion moments have involved royals wearing dresses with statement coats. These outfits often set trends and become memorable in the world of fashion.
Being comfortable in your skin doesn't mean being naked. Your clothing reflects who you are and how people perceive you. It's saddening that parents seem to have less control over what their kids wear in places like the United kingdom, Japan (Tokyo), Spain (Ibiza), Canada, and the USA(Miami, Florida) etc, where body positivity has gone in the wrong direction.
Since I moved to the UK, I've encountered many surprising things, but one has really caught my attention, which is why I'm talking about it in this post. In the UK, the cost of having a mortgage is quite high, and living here is expensive. It often feels like what you pay doesn't match what you get in return. This is my personal opinion.
People in the UK work hard and pay a lot of taxes. Some of that money goes into their retirement savings, while some is used to pay for their mortgages. However, as they get older and might become unwell, they can't take care of themselves, and they end up in a care home to get the help they need. Despite the fact that I have never worked in a care home, I have read and heard about them.
You make lifelong mortgage payments and continue to work until you are 55–65 years old, which is roughly the same age at which most people finish paying off their mortgage. Then you require care and are forced to sell your home to finance it.
I'm genuinely interested in your thoughts on this topic.
I consulted a UK dentist, initially considering private treatment over NHS. Yet, the £3200 price tag gave me pause, prompting me to explore other options as I had to relocate.
During a subsequent visit to a different dentist, the dreaded X-ray was on the agenda. I must admit, it's not for the faint-hearted, especially with a painful tooth. The first dentist was incredibly patient, but the second was efficient. She attempted the X-rays and informed me that she would have to reschedule us if she was unable to complete the procedure on the second attempt.
Although it was painful, I mustered the courage to proceed. The X-ray revealed what I already knew - the tooth had to come out, a standard procedure for a first-time dentist visit.
She administered anaesthesia, though it proved ineffective due to the infection. Prescribing antibiotics, she then directed me to the receptionist, who arranged an appointment for the 25th of October, despite my request for an earlier date due to the fact that the month was just beginning.
After picking up the prescribed medication from the pharmacy, I returned home, where the emotional weight of it all became overwhelming. Music and prayer provided solace during this difficult time
I started taking the antibiotics as prescribed, and things got a bit better, but I had to be on painkillers. I would take painkillers in the morning and at night before going to bed. Even though this was safe, I was worried because one can get addicted to painkillers.On a fateful day, the 13th of this month, my phone rang, and to my surprise, it was the dentist on the line. With a sense of anticipation, she revealed that my appointment for a root canal treatment was scheduled for November 5, 2023. I agreed to the date, but as soon as we hung up, confusion set in. I couldn't shake the feeling that my tooth extraction appointment might have been shifted or mixed up with the root canal booking.
So, I decided to dial her number again and asked for clarification. To my astonishment, she told me they had no record of any appointments. I insisted, "But I have a booking set for the 25th of this month, and I even have the appointment card right here."
She replied that on her end, there were no traces of these dates. Annoyed and in pain, I pleaded for my appointment not to be postponed further, but her response was rather nonchalant. "Do you want to book the date or not?" she asked. I hesitated, trying to make sense of this scheduling mess, and the call abruptly ended.
In a bid to resolve the issue, I called her back once more. This time, she proposed another date, the 30th of this month. I agreed, though not without lingering dissatisfaction. The fact that she failed to apologize for their error made me feel bad.
On Friday, desperate for relief, I took another painkiller, but the pain intensified drastically. I experimented with various home remedies, but they offered little solace. By Saturday, I was running a fever, weakened, and plagued by a relentless headache. Despite these struggles, I managed to eat, hoping for a miracle to alleviate my pain.
This dress has two lovely colors, green and yellow, mixed together. They look really nice and make them stand out. You can wear this dress when you go to different places or even just when you want to look fancy on any regular day. One cool thing about this dress is the bow knot on the waist. It's like a cute ribbon that makes you look even prettier. You can adjust it to fit you perfectly. The dress has a little cut on the side, showing off my leg just a bit. It makes me look stylish and confident without showing too much.
