I had been looking for a job for ages with no success. About a week ago, I was finally offered a job. It's a great company and pays reasonably well.

So I should be happy right? Well, I am happy and I have no intention of turning it down. I feel like I can really do well with this job and I loved the culture of the company.

Except that I am also secretly a little disappointed and sad :(

I'm a London girl- I studied here and lived here for 5 years and I love it. I don't want to leave London :( Especially not to go to Glasgow which is where this job is.

No offence intended towards anyone who lives in Scotland, but I am so apprehensive about moving there! It's too cold Grin

I also found it a bit boring when I went there. Granted, it was only for a day but it felt like a month. Blush

To make matters worse, I don't know anybody at all in Glasgow (or Scotland for that matter) and this means that I will be very lonely.
My parents live in a different country entirely and that was already hard enough to deal with, but now I have to move away from my mates too.

I know I'm being a big baby about this but I really wanted to vent!

Anyone with similar experiences? How did you deal with it?

I'd also appreciate any advice from people who currently live in Scotland. I've been told that it might be better to live in Edinburgh and travel to Glasgow for work. Does that sound feasible?? I haven't been to Edinburgh yet, but a lot of my mates said it was better than Glasgow Confused

If you've managed to stay safe and out of trouble in London then just behave the same way up here ! I've never had any trouble on nights out, you hear some drunk numpties singing or arguing but you don't get involved. One piece of advice though, do not ever, ever, walk through George Square after a night out with a pizza or a bag of chips......people just come along and help themselves !

Glasgow is the most amazing city in the world. I have travelled all over the world and lived in some amazing places but I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather call home. The natives are friendly, the nightlife has a bit of something for everyone, and the parks and green spaces are truly beautiful (not to mention the incredible architecture). Consider it a privilege and not a punishment to experience the best place in the world.
