  • I voted to remain in the EU. I'm disappointed with the outcome, but I'm trying to keep an open mind. No-one really knows what's going to happen in the next couple of years. We can speculate, and certain things (like the effect on the economy) can be forecast, but there is still so much that is unknown and that's what scares me. I'm 23 (24 in a couple of weeks if anyone wants to send me a present). I have a full time job but I'm considering going back to university to do a PhD. I live in England currently, but was considering a PhD over in Northern Ireland as I like the course and have family there. The course takes 3 years, with 3 years working in NI afterwards, and the fees are fully paid for. So many things could change - funding for my course could disappear, if it's EU funded; the value of the £ might depreciate to the point where it's not financially viable to stay in the UK (I can't afford to buy somewhere, and I don't want to spend the rest of my life renting); worst case scenario is NI separates from the UK (unlikely but it could happen). Alternatively it could be the best thing ever to happen to the UK and we might all be super happy and get drunk all the time. Who knows? Tl;dr Uncertainty is scary af.
