university and updates
Hello! blimey, it has been a little while since I last blogged. I really want to get into doing more outfit posts but honestly I have such little motivation recently that I would probably end up uploading one outfit post and then completely forgetting. Much like I have been putting off writing a post for ages for the same reason!
Anyway, this post is basically a little update on my life (woo, I know you're so excited to read on). I decided to take the plunge and go to University! Haha. It was definitely a plunge. I literally had it in my head for ages that I wasn't going to go, I was pretty set on it. I was actually planning a way to tell my Mum because I figured she wouldn't be best pleased if I decided to take another year out.. I never really took a year out in the first place but she always views it in that way. It's because I did a year at Sixth Form, hated it, quit and then started a 2 year course at College. So, she views that as me taking a year out because I'm technically a year behind and I should be starting my 2nd year at Uni now. But, whatever. It was definitely the best decision I could have made. I think she knows that now. Yeah, so I got my results which I am pretty chuffed about. Honestly, never thought I was going to pass. Minutes before the exam I was googling the characters names because I'd forgotten and I had to write an essay on 3 films.. having only watched and studied 2 of them. So, it was basically a miracle! As soon as I went on my UCAS and saw that I had been accepted into both of my top uni choices, it all hit me pretty hard. I guess I never wanted to go to Uni because I never had the confidence in myself to believe I would actually get in and I don't think I realised that right up until I received those grades. So, here I am! I have a couple of weeks left in my home town Ipswich and then I'm off to Brighton, Hastings Campus. I feel like this is going to be a major thing for me and will probably be one of, if not the, hardest thing I will probably have to do. Leave my family, my best friends, I've created this life I now have to leave behind. It all feels very strange but at the same time, uplifting and I'm trying to welcome a positive change as much as I can, otherwise I will arrive at my halls with the totally wrong mind set and all my flat mates will end up hating me and it would just be a super awkward few years. I hope that a lot of you have decided what you're doing, it's an exceptionally challenging thing having to plan and attempt to decide the outcome of your future.
Upon leaving for University also meant leaving my job at Maccy D's. Ah, I will actually miss it so much. Never thought I'd find myself saying that! I'll be back in the holidays and that though, which I am pleased about. Met the craziest and yet nicest bunch of people from working there, definitely learnt a hell of a lot and put in a lot of hard work in the process. I'm so glad it's all been worth it. I reckon I will come home as often as I possibly can and I'm hoping a lot of my friends will come up to visit me as I'm preparing myself for how lonely I will become, haha. It sucks as well because things in my life are finally looking up, a few things have been thrown at me recently which have slightly thrown me off track a little, such as my dear Auntie passing away only a couple of weeks ago but I have dreams I'm hoping to achieve and I have set myself goals which I have never done before and I'm interested in learning something I have a passion and strong interest in. Things are good at the moment and I haven't been able to say that in a while. I have the worst timing, though. Good things happen just as I'm about to leave! Isn't that typical?! I can only hope that these good things will continue with me on my journey and that my good luck doesn't just cut short here. I've learnt a lot recently that if you want something, you can't just sit around waiting for it and expect it to just come to you. You have to try get it for yourself, you have to make the effort yourself and eventually it will pay off. And when it does, it truly is the best feeling. Massive sense of accomplishment and achievement. Out weighs all bad. Hope you're all having a lovely day! The next time I post will probably be from Brighton which is pretty scary.
