27 Things To Do This Summer

Image
You know those days you wake up with an instant smile and it's just a good day all round Today is one of those days. I woke, to a whole load of strange Twitter notifications.. the hashtag 'dogefamily' is currently trending worldwide, because 5SOS are just.. weirdos. But that made me smile, I went for a run, the weather is perfect today! It's so hot I know I'm going to be burnt, I'm now actually sat in my bed in shorts and a sports bra (appropriate thing to put online.) Basically, it's summer. College is well and truly over, the weather is warm, I just need a my annual summer bucketlist to become official. I've put this together over  few weeks, this summer I'm doing realistic things that I'm going to actually do. I checked off a lot from last summer, but this summer is different. Here's my simple but achievable summer goals: 1, Starting with personal goals, Keep fit and eat healthy. 2, Don't shut myself away, see my friends. 3,

Chatty Prom And College Experience

Image
KSNFGNRIGENBTJBRBRBNKJBNKJR. It's over. I did it. College it over!!! One of the most challenging (at times) but rewarding, exciting, and happiest times of my life. I had my end of year prom last Thursday as well as my last day but I didn't finish all my work until today. It's seven o'clock. I haven't been home all that long, I've showered, had coffee, and now I want to blog. This post is going to talk about my college experience and then I'm going to post a few (not all that brilliant) photos of my prom. So, overall college was amazing. For personal skills. I've gained so much confidence in myself this year it's unreal. This time last year I wouldn't step on the bus on my own, let alone take a two bus complicated journey to college twice a day. I wouldn't have applied to jobs, I wouldn't have dyed my hair, I wouldn't be me. For the first time I seem to have really clicked with people here. There were no 'bitchy girls'

Coffee Shop Conversations

Image
It's been a while, this week was the last week of college, and I haven't had the best few days. I wanted to write this post but I knew that I'd end up droning on in an un-enthusiastic tone when I want this post to be a happy cheerful one. I was just going to make it a simple little 'hey I've finished college' update but I'm glad I waited because I've done some scary things today which I need to document as part of my 'changing my life' plan. I also went to Costa and took loads of photos a few days ago, and I wanted to upload them on my blog but I couldn't think how a trip to Costa would be in the slightest bit interesting or relevant to my blog.. So I've come up with the genius idea to make this post a kind of 'sit down with a cuppa, let's catch up and talk about life' post, because I feel like when you go to a coffee shop you tend to have deep, life philosophical conversations. And that's what this post is going to be abo

Currently Listening To...

Image
It's been a while since putting one of these up. I really haven't listened to a great deal of music, my obsession with We The Kings has resurfaced to an extent level, I haven't listened to much other than Luke Friend the past two days, and then there are bits and bobs of stuff.. Hole In My Heart - Luke Friend , starting with the song I'm listening to right now. This came out ages ago and I didn't even know. Luke Friend was my favourite in the X Factor, I love his voice, he has such a raspiness to it, and we all know how much I love raspy voices. I thought his music would have had a different sound to it than this single does, but I love it and it's been on constant repeat.  I've been listening to a few of his X Factor performances too, such as: Run - Luke Friend , my absolute favourite, because the emotion and passion he put into this song is mindblowingly amazing. Still Haven't found what I'm looking for - Luke Friend Skinny Lov

A Weekend In Birmingham With 5sos

Image
Title maaay be a little bit misleading... ahh I'm so excited to be writing this post!!!!!!!!! I've been waiting since before we even went.. This is going to be a very emotional post, the post concert depression has been a real issue this week, going into detail about everything that happened is going to destroy my soul inside out. It's going to be a fairly long post too. I was going to do separate posts but I only actually have a few pictures of the concert as I was too busy screaming, crying, singing, and having a generally good time. Filming the concert was a challenge in itself and I only recorded a few bits and bobs... Oooh here we go!! The day in Birmingham So we started by waking at half six -very easily I might add. Since when do I happily wake up at 6am ?  We got ready, typically ending up leaving late. We made our 1 hour trip to Birmingham listening to a playlist of only the best songs.. Chance would have it Unpredictable came on, which is one of 5sos' fetu

My ROWYSO Experience, First Vlog

Image
Okay, I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know how this will appear on my blog, I'm doing this through YouTube, I don't have a clue. I've been off and away in Birmingham this past weekend to see my favourite ever people in real life. It was the best time of my life and such, such an unforgettable experience. I have a veeery very long post coming up about everything I did but it's something I'd like to do properly and take my time on, which is something I don't have right now (time.) It's the end of the day, I have college tomorrow -all day, then on Wednesday I may or may not be working until all sorts of hours so I can't say when I'll be able to sit down and write out the post. For now, here's the vlog I said I was doing. My very first vlog. I'm not overly proud of it if I'm honest. The camera is so shaky! I was too scared to speak or show my face much.. but for my first try it's pretty decent I guess.. However

99 Quick Fire Questions - Know My Secrets!

Image
I've been writing this post for the past four days and it's just not getting done, I didn't realise writing out and answering 99 questions  wasn't  going to be an easy thing to do. So I'm quickly finishing it off as today is the last day I'm going to be able to post for a few days. Tomorrow is going to be hectic! It's the last day of prepping and packing ready for ROWYSO, I'm packing a bit now but I can't until everything is out of the wash (our washing machine broke so I haven't been able to do washing until today when the new one came). I have this thing where when I go away for a few days I like to come back to a perfect room, so I need to clean it thoroughly, which I'm trying to do now. I then need to shower to wash out the remaining bleach in my hair (I'm part way through going lilac right now) There's a lot of things I need to do, and then I'm going round my friends because I'm sleeping hers Friday where she's going
