Are you bbc and can you speak Chinese

yup, i'm bbc and i speak cantonese and a little bit of mandarin!! tbh, my vocab in both cantonese and mandarin is pretty limited (especially now that i've moved out of home bc i rarely speak cantonese anymore) but i can understand both languages more than i can speak it.

it's so cool that you work as a ux writer! i've been thinking about looking into that more. is there anything you like/find challenging about it? ^^

i've always loved writing so it feels like a v natural career path for me!! i think the thing i enjoy the most about it is that it hopefully helps someone out there?? like if i can help one person better understand a topic by writing about it in a simple way, then all the back and forth and amends feel worthwhile hehe ^^

on the flip side, i think the thing i find the most challenging is stakeholder management. i've never been particularly good at saying "no" or pushing back on people lol, and having to rationalise my decisions for why i amended some copy, or why i cut some copy/design features is quite difficult for me bc i'm ironically not v good with my words when it comes to explaining myself verbally. it's something i'll hopefully get better at as i progress in my career, so hopefully it gets easier with time!!

hi carol!!! if you feel comfortable answering, i was wondering if there was a reason that stopped posting as much ? you have such a bright presence that i miss seeing you on tumblr / insta as frequently :'(( either way, i hope that youre well and that you can take care <3333

hi my love!! ๐Ÿฅบ this is so sweet of u, thank u so much ๐Ÿซถ i think my interest in the whole studyblr/studyfram stuff just naturally waned after i graduated bc i was no longer studying as much and it wasnโ€™t fun for me to produce content anymore. the part iโ€™ve always enjoyed though, is being able to interact with the community so it really means a lot that people like yourself still check in every now and then ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿค

i still post every now and then on insta, just mainly on my personal account! you can see what iโ€™m up to at @caaarolt - just dm me to say you came from my tumblr bc i have a private acc ๐Ÿฅฐ

hope youโ€™re well and taking care of yourself too! โœจ

hi carol! i hope you're doing well! if you don't mind, can you tell your journey transitioning into ux? like how you got started, how long did it take you to learn etc. i'm interested in ux after a class i took one semester but i'm always too afraid to explore more. i'm also a psych graduate so seeing another psych graduate in the ux field is nice. thank you in advance!

from: a lost 25 year old.

hi hi!! ๐Ÿฅฐ as a disclaimer, i'm no expert and i'm still v much at the beginning of my ux journey, but i'd be more than happy to talk about my career transition to give you an idea of what it was like!

Can you recommend bakeries/pastries in london? <3

WITH PLEASURE

โ€ข arome in convent garden and duke street - you must try their egg tart and cappucino croissant!! skip the honey butter toast, itโ€™s mid)

โ€ข pophams in london fields and islington. they do weekend specials with seasonal ingredients and theyโ€™re always delicious!!

โ€ข buns from home - my faves are the tiramisu, cinnamon and cardamom buns

โ€ข toad bakery in peckham - delishhhh pastries and the staff are super sweet

โ€ข dusty knuckle bakery in dalston - theeeeee best sandwiches ever. trust me.

โ€ข prufrock coffee in farringdon - lovely staff, incredibly cute logo and great sourdough banana bread

ever since I moved into my apartment last month, I feel so much more at ease - and donโ€™t get me wrong, some things are still so much troubling but we all know that years of abuse and tears will not heal within a month of pure sanity. I know that this healing process takes time ๐Ÿช reblog is ok, donโ€™t repost
