Me Hello and welcome! My name is Omotola, and I’m an ex- international graduate living in the UK. I moved here with dreams, doubts, and determination, and through all the ups and downs, I’ve gathered real stories, honest lessons, and powerful experiences that I now share through this blog. With a Master’s degree in Applied Psychology and a career in the public sector, I’m passionate about guiding others through the realities of immigration, study, and settlement—especially when no one tells you what to expect. This blog was born of what I wish I had: a space that’s real, informative, faith-rooted, and full of encouragement for international students, migrants, and anyone navigating a new beginning in the UK. Here, I share everything from the harsh realities of settling in, tips for landing first job, building resilience and faith, mental health advice, and the practical answers I wish someone given me before I arrived. Whether you're searching for guidance or simply want to connect, you’re in the right!
WELCOME
Welcome to study and strive in the uk
This isn’t just another blog—it’s a journey journal, survival guide, and encouragement corner for immigrants, international students, and anyone navigating a new life in the UK.
Here, you’ll find:
Real stories, not sugarcoated success
Step-by-step tips for finding your feet
Job application insights, mental well-being tools, and practical advice
And faith-based encouragement for when you feel overwhelmed
I created this space so that no one has to walk blind into a system that doesn’t always explain itself.
Whether you’re just arriving, thinking of moving, or trying to figure out what’s next, I’m so glad you’re here. Grab a cup of tea, explore the posts, and let’s grow together.
Welcome home—even if it doesn’t feel like home yet.
