University

Hey guys, just thought I'd give you a little blog post so you don't think that I have disappeared off the face of the planet. This one is about something that is HUGE in my opinion and that is university. So recently I sent off my UCAS application which over in the UK is one of the most popular ways to apply for university. Anyway, I've recently just got 3 offers out of 5 of the uni's I've applied for. One is from my main choice. This is something I've aspired to since I was tiny. But now it really quite scares me. Moving out from my home, meeting strangers and the workload are just the starters of things that terrify me. The only thing keeping me strong is knowing how proud it is making my family and how much I will enjoy the experience of it. These next few months are going to be crazy hectic, full of revising and pressure from college and my family. I know it will be ALL worth it as I think 2015 is going to be my year. Please comment below if you have any advice for me or what your experience were like at university. Thanks everyone!

Ciao xo

Being Thankful

HO HO HELLO EVERYONE, sorry that its been a while, I guess I've not quite got the hang of blogging on a set basis. Anyway, Christmas is literally around the corner and I'm probably more excited than a little child. But I just wanted to talk about something that I've been mulling over in my head recently, and that is how some people aren't thankful. Personally I am not the slightest religious so I do not celebrate Christmas for the original reason but I see this time of year to be thankful. As I'm English we do not celebrate thanksgiving but I see Christmas as being a time for this. I'm am hugely thankful for my family, friends and all the opportunities I have had throughout my life time. This is why its my FAVOURITE time of the year but I cant understand why people can be so selfish to not be grateful for what they get. Some people are all about materialistic goods and if they have the latest designer clothing but that isn't what its about. Its about being with family and for the religious people out there, its to celebrate the birth of Christ. I'm pretty sure we can all be materialistic sometimes, especially when you get socks for Christmas, like "wow, some socks. I love them!!" But remember, some people don't even get that. So all I'm trying to say is be thankful for everything you get because there are people out there who don't get as much as you do. You and I are so lucky compared to these people. I'm not going to rant any longer. I hope you have a Merry Christmas and have a great time in what ever holiday you are celebrating!!:) Leave your favourite thing about the holiday season in the comments below.
