Be Gone 'Back to School Blues'

Hiya Guys,

Everyone's got their exam results and celebrated, even if you didn't do as well because who needs an excuse to have a party? 

But that does mean that, I hate to say it, it's basically the end of the summer and I know that sucks! The start of term looms whether it is fresher's week at university or your first day back at school or college. That means that you're back to waking up stupidly early and getting homework to do pretty much everyday and I know you'll all be dreading it.

Weirdly, I wasn't one of those people. I loved the idea of going back to school and being able to mess about with all of my friends every single day. The work was obviously something I could've done without but, more towards the end of my high school life, the start of the year was something I counted down the days until.

But fear not young prodigies *I know you aren't but I'd love to believe: I have dreams* I have some ways to make the start of the year something to look forward to and to make sure that the first few weeks go smoothly!

1) Buy loads of stuff
I know this is harder if you're British and at high school because you can't really have much fun buying a school uniform but I didn't let that stop me! If you can't buy awesome clothes then go for accessories because there are some things schools can't stop you from buying. Go crazy with your school bag, coat and stationary and make sure that they show off your personality as much as clothes do. I put loads of badges and pins on my bag and coat because they couldn't stop me from doing that! (Even though it's risky, I wore a lot of bands and bracelets but that could get you into trouble so don't blame me if you try this and it backfires lol)
2) Invite your friends over
Most of them you won't have seen for a month so I used to invite a friend or two over the day before to get ready *in the case of college where I could wear my own clothes* or make the most of the last few hours of summer. You can talk about how your summer went and just not think about school the next day!

3) Stay on top of your work
I know this sounds kinda shitty and boring but it actually means that you can enjoy your first few weeks of school, especially if you're doing your GCSE's. Stay on top of all your homework and coursework because if you get them done ASAP then you can spread the work out and have time to relax. Do them the best you can because it'll be stupid not putting in the work because you'll just have to do it again.

4) Organise your life
I love doing this! You can be really creative with this sort of stuff by making lists and creating diaries with loads of colours and stickers *look at SprinkleofGlitter for ideas on this* I mean as well as letting your creative juices flow, it's going to make sure that you know what you need to do and that it gets done in time. I have so many diaries and planners with awesome covers and designs inside and I can either use them to plan things or let my imagination wonder.
So, if you are dreading the start of the term: DON'T! Make the most of education and have fun because once you grow up, you're going to wish that you were back at school.

So have fun lovelies and stay smart ;)

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

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...

My Strictly favourites for this year!

Hiya guys, Hasn't the first few episodes of Strictly been amazing and shocking, in terms of talent and the results (book Tameka leaving). I don't remember a year where so many of the contestants are this talented so early because even Ed Balls isn't as bad as people like John Sargeant or Greg Wallace. Before I start, special shoutout to Judge Rinder who literally entertains me every week and Claudia who proves that us short people can do whatever we want. So, what does a new series of SCD call for... oh yeah a list of my favourite's who I think have a proper shot of winning the glitterball this year. I am sorry for the size of the list, they're all too good to just pick a few! LETS GOOOO... 1. Danny Mac and Oti Mabuse I loved Danny in Hollyoaks so I was mega excited when it came up that he was coming on the show and by God he did not disappoint me. I was also thrilled when he was paired with Oti who is absolutely magnificent but couldn't show...

Help! Essays are due!

Hiya guys, This week is another attempt at helping you gorgeous people to learn things through my mistakes. It is that time of the year and whether you've already given in essays or have some to give in, everyone will need help at some point. Please don't just take my word for it as I am only a first year university student and cannot help with content or structure . However, here are just a few points that I wish I'd known when I started doing essays and things that I do now that really help my essay writing process. Essay's, whether they be for a humanities or a science subject, have a core aim and that is too write about a specific topic to show your understanding and ability to write coherently and for a purpose so hopefully this can be partly useful to everyone. 1. Once you've chosen a question, step back and think about what it is asking Get the question and analyse it. What is the question word? Is it 'why, what, to what extent,' and figur...
