The Start of Something New

Hiya Guys,

Contrary to the title and my love of Disney, this blog post isn't all about High School Musical (but one day maybe). Today I had my last exam and that officially signals the end of my college life and, even though I am excited for a new start, I thought I'd reminisce on my time and also give some of you lovely people advice if you are starting college.

I never really expected to enjoy college as much as I did because High School was life changing and really brought me out of my shell. However, college really defined who I was as a person and who I want to be in the future. It also helped me grow as a person by giving me my first taste of independence and I met people I hope will stay in my life forever.

I'm not saying that college is the route for everyone because there are so many different options like finding a job or doing an apprenticeship. But, for me, college was something I'd always wanted and knew that it would give me skills to combat the world one day... that's just from the uber hard exams (they say that your A Levels are the hardest thing you'll ever take).

Even though my time at college was amazing, it was tough and set home some realities and I know that many other people suffered with the transition:


  • If you don't know anybody, do not worry! I started off having so many people from my high school but I barely talk to any of them and I have made new amazing friends.
  • Be open to new experiences! This could be in relation to the subjects, extra curricular or when picking friends. It's a new start for a reason and don't be scared to experience something foreign.
  • Don't be afraid to be yourself! We all know that at high school your identity is limited because of your uniform. College lets you be yourself and to blossom as a person. Don't care about the haters because as one smart Taylor Swift sang, 'haters gonna hate, hate, hate'
  • Work hard and play hard. Even though you get independence to do what you want, work hard because these grades are going to be with you for the rest of your lives. However don't push yourself so much that it affects your well being.
  • Finally, if you don't feel right either physically or mentally, tell someone! I know it's a cliche but it might help a little bit.
So, that's it for one chapter in my life. I don't know what the next year will bring but hopefully this blog can expand and I can write on a more regular basis!


That's all for now my dears,
See you soon

xx

My Dissertation Story

Hi my lil' fairies Hasn't it been a long time since I've spoken to you lovely people? Well my title can probably tell you why. I am in my third year of university and the last few months have consisted of research and writing my dissertation. However, after a solid 7 months, I finally handed my dissertation in on Monday and I can't tell you how much of a weight has been lifted off me. It's almost like this 10, 966 words (I know, I cut it very finely on the word count) have become part of me, mainly because I have invested so much time and effort into it. Before I even started to stress about writing it, I had to come up with an idea for it. I chose my overall topic the year before and this meant that I had to pick within the topic, but it didn't mean restrictions - it was the opposite for me. I picked the cultural revolution in Germany and Britain and this gave me endless possibilities. Initially, I chose to do Britain because I thought that my lack of Ger...

Lawson - Perspective Track by Track Album Review

Hiya Guys, You may be shocked to hear that this post brings back Music Friday **except it's on a Tuesday *so it's Tune Tuesday* bc why not** In 2012, 4 piece band Lawson released their debut album Chapman Squar e which peaked at number 4 in the UK album charts with emotional and heart wrenching tracks like Stolen and The Girl I Knew.  Fast forward 4 years, of which included Andy having a near death experience and months of writing, the long awaited second album  Perspective has finally been released. This album takes a very different approach and style from the first album and is a lot more upbeat and happy than Chapman Square. This is an absolutely amazing album filled with love, passion, some brilliant chord progressions, amazing vocals and some awesome guitar solos! So here is my track by track review of the album and please bare with me and read to the end *it is worth it*: Perspective (Intro) This track is a great way to start the new album and real...
