⭐teevolution: an aspiring apprentice's blog⭐

hii to those who come across this :smile:

Its my first time doing one of these but I'm doing this to hold myself accountable so I don't slack and to measure my progress!

I was actually inspired by @beanie2672's gyg so i decided to do one (i dont know how to at people sorry)

I don't think I have ever come across one of these before on TSR and I just wanted to blog here like i see so many others do :smile:

About meee

I am a gap year/uni drop out who wants to do a tech degree apprenticeship

I tried applying for the september 2025 start but I sadly didn't get one :frown:

I did uni for like 3 months but hated it so I looked into apprenticeships more, prayed to God on it and found it was the path for me to take!

I like anime, manga and webtoons

I like tyler, the creator!

I'm Christian (not the conservative kind though guys pls🙏) - trying to read my Bible more


What I want to post about!

updates on my applications (by God's grace I get one this year/next year)

self-development - I want to pick up more hobbies like languages and maybe keyboard I used to play and other stuff)

anything else i think is relevant to this blog tbh

Spoiler

anyway i plan to start this tommorow/today (im posting past midnight) so i hope you guys find this entertaining and join along and post anything you want to add!

see ya laterr:h:

I have been completely MIA when it comes to this blog... but I have been busy with work and was out of town visiting my friends!

Tomorrow I plan to go to the library and complete some work there. I think I will focus on my CV and completing some work experiences I started!

10/10 - early hours

This post is long overdue but here is mostly what i got up to in the last couple of days!

completed 2 virtual work experiences to add to my cv from springpod and the forage

fixed up my cv for the most part. Everything is mostly the same from when I last applied just needed to add more current things

made my tracker for the apprenticeships I want to apply to and highlighted the top 8 or so I really want to focus on (it seems most places i see that have opened don't want to open roles in London😒)

started a new coding project! I decided to start coding a journal where i can log feelings and write entries and prompts and stuff. This might change though!

I'm gonna add this to my cv also!

I also am going to start a new Bible plan! Alongside reading the book of James😁


I think I'm on track to finishing by this weekend so I can start applying my next Monday hopefully!

I'll try to update more regularly lmao
