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

My Dissertation Story

Hi my lil' fairies Hasn't it been a long time since I've spoken to you lovely people? Well my title can probably tell you why. I am in my third year of university and the last few months have consisted of research and writing my dissertation. However, after a solid 7 months, I finally handed my dissertation in on Monday and I can't tell you how much of a weight has been lifted off me. It's almost like this 10, 966 words (I know, I cut it very finely on the word count) have become part of me, mainly because I have invested so much time and effort into it. Before I even started to stress about writing it, I had to come up with an idea for it. I chose my overall topic the year before and this meant that I had to pick within the topic, but it didn't mean restrictions - it was the opposite for me. I picked the cultural revolution in Germany and Britain and this gave me endless possibilities. Initially, I chose to do Britain because I thought that my lack of Ger...

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...

The Start of Something New

Hiya Guys, Contrary to the title and my love of Disney, this blog post isn't all about High School Musical (but one day maybe). Today I had my last exam and that officially signals the end of my college life and, even though I am excited for a new start, I thought I'd reminisce on my time and also give some of you lovely people advice if you are starting college. I never really expected to enjoy college as much as I did because High School was life changing and really brought me out of my shell. However, college really defined who I was as a person and who I want to be in the future. It also helped me grow as a person by giving me my first taste of independence and I met people I hope will stay in my life forever. I'm not saying that college is the route for everyone because there are so many different options like finding a job or doing an apprenticeship. But, for me, college was something I'd always wanted and knew that it would give me skills to combat the...
