Hey! I've just realised that this was my 300th post. Wow! Thanks for all the support so far. Here's to the next 300 :D

I've just finish my degree at University this week. I'm still waiting on results, but I thought I'd make a post about it documenting my thoughts so far before I forget (also, happy 300th post! Wow, have I reached that already?). Note that this doesn't mean the end of this blog - far from it! I'll be doing a masters this next academic year.

It's been a great journey to have the chance to go on. I feel like I've improved in so many different ways having gone to University. Make no mistake: University isn't for everyone (if you're considering it, make sure you do your research about all your options!) - but I've found that it's been right for me.

I'm glad that Rob Miles' suggestion of starting a blog has been a great investment of my time. For one, I've been able to document the things that I've been learning so that I can come back to them later, and read a more personalised guide to the thing I blogged about. I've also learnt a ton about Linux server management too - as I manage the server that this blog runs on entirely through the terminal (sorry, hackers who want to get into my non-existent management web interface - I know you're out there - you leave pawprints all over my server logs!). All very valuable experiences - I highly suggest that you start one too (you won't regret it. I promise!).

I've also found that my eyes have been opened in more ways than one whilst doing my degree - both to new ways of approaching problems, and new ways of solving them - and many other things that would take too long to list here). I've blogged about some of my favourite modules in this regard before - particularly Virtual Reality and Languages and Compilers.

Thanks to all the amazing people I've met along the way, I've ended up in a much better place than when I started.
