My Results Day Story

Hiya Guys

The last post I wrote was about how to cope with results day stress and I can honestly say that I didn't follow any of my own advice haha! However I have now got my results and can look forward, but obviously I am going to share it with all of you!

Unlike many others, I didn't get up at the crack of dawn to see my results (although I could've because I didn't sleep a wink). But when the clock struck 8:30 I woke my mum and sister up and dragged the Ipad up to check my results on my college's intranet.

Lone behold, I maybe didn't do as well as I had hoped. I had been expected to get 3 As but I came out with 3 Bs. Although I wouldn't say that I was hugely disappointed, because many of my exams were so hard, it did mean that I couldn't go to Newcastle University as I'd hoped.

Luckily I had Queen Mary's University in London as a back up to study Modern and Contemporary History and I am now a student there. Hey-ho, I love QMUL and was estatic to go there because I nearly put it first... 

However, today did come with it's troubles:

1. I was unsure and I am still unsure whether I will actually get accommodation on campus
2. It does mean that I can no longer combine history with English and Media
3. I had expected higher grades, especially in English

But all in all, I guess everything happens for a reason! I know this is a short piece but I feel like everyone has their story and should share it.
So please share it on the comments if you wish or message me on my tumblr standingintheredsky.tumblr.com


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

WWE! A New Era?

Hiya Guys, I really hope that this week's blog title is obvious to those of you who understand and will most likely read this post! I am a big WWE fan and, before you say 'oh it's fake', well I do know that but I'd like to also say that Marvel and DC and all those films are also fake. So, these last few weeks made history in WWE by having the Brand Split of RAW and Smackdown and making them both live.  Here is my overview of the Draft last week as well as the first week of the so-called 'new era.' Draft Day I will be honest and say that Draft Day was a huge disappointment in terms of the draft itself and the way it was organised. It seemed extremely lackluster and rushed in comparison to the other years and seemed to be very much focused on the Managers of each of the companies (Stephanie/ Mick Foley and Shane/ Daniel Bryan) instead of the superstars. However, when it comes to the picks itself, I was pleasantly surprised and happy. I think...

Book... I PICK YOU!

Hiya guys, The title of this post is pretty self explanatory and I feel like these kind of posts are nice because they don't trick you and give you an insight into my crazy life. It's crazy how in my dads time, it wasn't 'cool' to be interested in books and now, everywhere you look, it seems as if books are becoming so much more mainstream and encouraged. Here are my top 4 books but they are in no order because I could never choose between my babies.           1. The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky This is one book I refuse to not have with me so it goes literally everywhere with me from Manchester to London. I think it was because the book had so much meaning and was the first book I felt as if I connected too. Charlie has a bit of everyone in him and it just means that you can relate to his character in some way without you feeling as if your diary is being read by millions. The fact that Chbosky has managed to touch on some reali...

My Strictly favourites for this year!

Hiya guys, Hasn't the first few episodes of Strictly been amazing and shocking, in terms of talent and the results (book Tameka leaving). I don't remember a year where so many of the contestants are this talented so early because even Ed Balls isn't as bad as people like John Sargeant or Greg Wallace. Before I start, special shoutout to Judge Rinder who literally entertains me every week and Claudia who proves that us short people can do whatever we want. So, what does a new series of SCD call for... oh yeah a list of my favourite's who I think have a proper shot of winning the glitterball this year. I am sorry for the size of the list, they're all too good to just pick a few! LETS GOOOO... 1. Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse I loved Danny in Hollyoaks so I was mega excited when it came up that he was coming on the show and by God he did not disappoint me. I was also thrilled when he was paired with Oti who is absolutely magnificent but couldn't show...
