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

Ear Piercing Debate

Hi my lil' fairies, It seems like all I ever seem to do is complain about what I've seen on my usual weekday morning television schedule, which normally includes Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women! I can normally watch pretty much any segment and understand both perspectives, but, today, I watched a segment about a debate that has been talked about before and is just increasingly angering me each time. Would you let your toddler get their ears pierced? Here's the video from the last time it was debated: I know it's a question that raises controversy but my main issue was the argument from the woman who opposed it: getting your toddler's ears pierced is child abuse. EXCUSE ME?!? Here's my stance on this issue as a whole: I got my ears pierced when I was a small baba because it's pretty much normal in my culture and the same thing happened to my sister when she was little. I never found anything weird about it and, fast forward 20 ...

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...
