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

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...

Halloween Costume Controversy Response

Hello my lil' fairies Sometimes, I'll be watching daytime telly (Loose Women, This Morning etc) and I'll stumble upon a topic of discussion that really sparks a reaction inside of me which I normally respond to by tweets. This morning I was watching Good Morning Britain and a topic came up that I knew needed a lot more than just 240 characters. It's something that is extremely close to my heart and really relevant at the moment. I am a massive Disney fan and meeting the characters and Princesses at Disneyworld are memories I won't forget. It's also Halloween and millions of little children are going out to buy costumes of their favourite Princesses like Cinderella, Elsa and Jasmine. So, you can imagine my surprise when I heard Susanna Reid and Richard Madeley talking about the cultural appropriation of Halloween costumes, and in particular Moana and Elsa costumes. My view might be controversial in this PC society but, as someone of ethnic origin, I thin...

Ice Skating in London... well attempting too!

Hiya Guys, I am really getting into the Christmas mood this week and I decided to have a wack at one of the most Christmas like activities... ICE SKATING! I have never really gone before especially outside but due to it being cheap and the option for students getting a free drink, me and 2 friends decided to go to the National History Museum who had a Swarovski Ice Rink. It meant skating in the beautiful London air as the sun went down with the lights hung on all the trees. Everything seemed gorgeous as we sipped our free hot chocolate with marshmallows and cream. That was until we started skating! All the photos we got from the free picture booth shows me holding my friends hand and it all looks so friendly and sweet... honestly it was just because I would have fallen otherwise. I was absolutely awful compared to one of my friends who was a natural and the other who had 5 years of ice skating training, I mean I could barely let go of the barrier without someone holding me...
