There was a girl who lived a normal life but wanted something greater, and so she decided to take the step towards technology (eventhough it often resents her) to share her ideas, life and spread some sparkle.✨
So this is where it begins, my first ever blog post... If you don't count my first attempt the night before after I fell asleep and my android decided to fail on me and NOT save my almost complete post!
Anyhoo... So what's up with my weird blog name?? Like who wants to read 📖 some sad-depressing, emo-like blog? Everyone wants their bit of happiness and so do I!
So this blog aims to do just that will I can't promise you happiness with every post but I do guarantee you a smile shall surely spread across your face.
So let's practice:
In the words of Aman (Shah Rukh Khan's character) in "Kal ho na ho"
"1,2,3 eeeeeee" 😂
So back to the important thing who am I!?
Well I am Saudaa... Most of you probably went back to try and say my name correctly or are thinking 💭 "How on earth do I say that?!"
I shall very quickly put you out of your misery... You know the country Saudi-Arabia (it's a middleastern country super wealthy in oil)...
Well instead of saying the "di" in Saudi say "da" and voila Sau-daa🤗! That's me!
I'm a Witsie (some who attends or graduated from the University of the Witwatersrand) and I have my honours in Geology with Advanced Remote Sensing and GIS, a field that us Indians are rather scarce in. I followed my heart not social pressures of doing medicine, engineering or accounting. But as Murphy would have it I haven't had my time to shine in my field as YET. My passion remains purely as a pieces of paper 📄 displayed on the wall.
This is where The UBG (Underachieved BSc Graduate) comes from. I'm currently in a field I had never even given a thought about primarily because people THINK if you're smart you don't usually end up in the field I am currently in which is quite sad (you'll find out soon enough what my vocation is and why and how I ended up where I am. - Patience is a virtue😝).
So in my eyes and maybe in the eyes of others they also feel as if I have underachieved, hence the title! And the reason I have decided to create an entire blog about this, is because I know I'm not floating on this boat alone! Fellow graduates who aren't working in our fields this is for you! This is for us!
So it's dedicated to providing a peek into my life, sharing my smiles, frowns, triumphs, defeats as well as being my venting screen! Brace yourself!😁🙌
I cannot promise you flawless make up tips or fashion trends on the runway or in the kitchen but I can promise you that there will be snippets of it since I love these things. But I shall spare my rare moments of calm to share what's going on in my life and to definitely put a smile on your dial 🤗!
So that's it for now!
