Wobbins if…

Hello! First and foremost I wanted to start of with a big Hello and Thank You for stumbling upon my blog! I hope that you will enjoy my post finding them interesting, informative and making even getting you to ask you own Wobbins questions.

In 2016 I started my Undergraduate Degree in Psychology at Bangor University, where graduated in 2019 with a First Class Degree. It was at that point when I asked myself the big ‘What know?’. So I stuck in my comfort zone that is Bangor University and decided to do a MSc in Applied Marketing Science.

At the time when I was started my course I expected that it would be difficult and at times challenging but as with many people 2020 was a lot more different that we could have expected it to be. But even with the challenges and adapting to our ‘New’ way of living I was able to graduate in December with a Distinction.

I soon started my first out of University ‘real world’ job at a Creative Agency, I was there for year and a half. But decided that I needed to go explore other things.

So now I am back with that big ‘what know?’ questions. Considering what my next steps will be and if i’m honest I don’t quite know what i’m doing but what I do know is that I want to go back to my ‘roots’ which is Consumer Psychology.

I love being inquisitive and I know I can’t help but use what i’ve learned throughout university to change my perspective on everyday life. It’s like i’ve been given these glasses that I can see the world through, I no longer see an Ad campaign but rather I see what messages it is giving off, what techniques it is using, and how psychology is embedded in everything what we do.

When I started my masters I was both excited and scared. I am the type of person who will study the module syllables, learn the assessments criteria’s, going into that first introduction lesson already knowing what the lectures will say we will have to do. I hate the unknown (like most people, as we are humans and even if we don’t want to admit it humans love routines).

But this course was different I was pushed so far out of my comfort zone have to use Adobe for the first time, talking with clients. Yet the one thing that scared me the most was with one of my core modules ‘Consumer Psychology: Theory’ assessment criteria being to complete a weekly blog post. The idea was completely daunting! The thought of writing and publishing work online for someone to read, was far out of my comfort zone. But surprisingly enough I didn’t hate it and in fact I actually well I wouldn’t go as far as saying loved it, but enjoyed it!

So while I search for what to do next, creating this blog will allow me to keep exploring everything consumer psychology!

P.S if you are wondering about what on earth Wobbins here is my rambling explanation.
