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 tightly.

I need to stress how grateful I am to my friends because as much as I said that they could go off, they stuck by me the full 50 minutes and literally guided me through those annoyingly fast skaters. They didn't get angry as I swore every 5 minutes or nearly pulled them onto the ground with my lack of balance or ability.

However, it was still an amazing trip and I really felt as it was a great way to have fun without the student conventions of getting drunk every night. It was not that chilly and the atmosphere was just so festive. Therefore if you want somewhere to go for a girly evening then I recommend this place so much because it is not hugely expensive or big and is so fun.

Also, the photobooth thing is amazing, literally it is so cute how they let you print out your memories because I always like having photos printed for me with like information because I can stick them across my room. Here is an example of one of ours (also love to my friends who let me put this up):
Don't we look glamorous? Well they do, me well I won't touch upon any of that right now! It really put me into a great mood and emphasized that I have chosen my friends amazingly well!

So I hope all of you are having fun with Christmas festivities whether it be skating or shopping but remember, 'you dont need to be drunk to have fun' as my sister always tells everyone!

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

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...
