Holiday Activities for Bored Teens

Hiya Guys,

I've only been off school for a week and I already feel the boredom soaring to new heights. This year, the free time has definitely been hard for me because I have had so much of it.

So as I know that the Summer holidays are coming up, so to help you not be as bored as I am, I'm going to put up a few ideas that can range from costing a small fee to being completely free (excluding very cheap basics that can be picked up). I don't want to alienate people from these ideas so I'll try to keep them as accessible as possible because having fun doesn't mean spending loads.

  • This is the only option that may be expensive. UK theme park Thorpe Park have an event called Island Beats this Summer where artists perform concerts on different days. There are two options with this: one concert at 1pm in the afternoon with artists and the price of this is included in the park ticket. The second option is paying a bit extra for an evening concert (these include bigger names). I will link at the end to view details. (I'm hoping to go on the 29/8) 

Now for the things that really don't cost anything at all:
  • As a writer I'm obviously going to encourage you to write something. I know most of you won't be aspiring novelists but it could be anything like songs, poems or even a daily diary to document what happens to you every day.
  • Learn a new language. I know it sounds boring but I know that learning at home because you want to is fun compared to being forced to at school. The site Babbel lets you learn a language for free from your own house
  • Make a scrapbook! You don't even need lots of material, just photos, paper and pens and you're ready. Have different pages with different themes and make each page about something different in your life like important events or people.
  • Go outside for a walk! Explore where you live because I know that there are so many things to do in Manchester and places to visit that I haven't even heard of. It'll give you some fresh air and count towards that exercise we all hate doing.
  • Do some arts and crafts. This has come from watching my sister take a piece of paper and make an absolutely amazing pop up flower. You can basically just let your imagination go crazy and come up with anything even if you don't think your artistic. One person's rubbish may be another's masterpiece

So that's just a starting point because the possibilities are endless to what you can do this summer! I hope it helps a little bit.

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

xx

Introducing me!

Hiya guys,  This is my first ever blog post, I was going to say of the year, but it is actually my first one ever! I think it is necessary to introduce myself to all you beautiful people.  My name is Sonal Lad and I am a below average 18 year old girl from England!  I started this blog because I have always been interesting in writing to a mass audience and I believe that this could be the starting point of trying to get into journalism. I also love the idea of being able to interact with people from all over the world on issues that are dear to my heart!  I think as time goes on, you will get to know me a lot more and hopefully I get to know all of you guys a lot better! That's all for now my dears, See you soon xx

Fresher's Ball in my 2nd Year

Hiya guys, I'm currently writing this blog post after 3 mental days which included; going to the Fresher's ball as a 2nd year (that's the topic of today), turning 20 and bringing my Mancunian friends to the big city. The latter two are pretty much irrelevant for today's post but I mean they all sort of blend together I think. The Fresher's Ball is done at pretty much every university in England and is a way for first year's to end their 'relaxation' period and get ready for the real work. I missed last year's because I went home for my sisters birthday so I was even more determined to go this and have an epic time. Also, the fact that it was the day before my 20th Birthday seemed like fate because why wouldn't I want to start my birthday with my friends dancing like we were 1st years and drunk - although I was sober the entire night. The Ball was on the university campus and seemed less formal and more like an awesome club night ba...

Strictly Top 5 - Claudia and AJ

Hiya guys, The Strictly tour has been over for a while but my brain hasn't wrapped itself around the fact that I have to wait until September for it too start again. But, these Strictly posts are going to keep coming until I've maybe done one for every bit of Strictly possible. If you follow me on any of my social media, or have followed my last few posts, you'll know that Claudia Fragapane and AJ Pritchard were one of my favourite couples in the show and I was gutted that they didn't make it to the final. It wasn't just because they were amazing together and danced amazingly, I think it helped that they are pretty similar age as me (Claudia is 19, I'm 20 and AJ is 22) so I liked seeing some younger people dancing! I know that I put some of their dances in my other top 5's, but I'm going to do one anyway because most of their dances were phenomenal . 1. Jive to Hey Mickey If only there hadn't been that little slip up near the begin...
