End of an era

GUESS WHAT! I finished my last assignment, (a 2 minute podcast on Social Media) which can only mean one thing- I'M FREEEEE! I don't think it has quite sunk it yet that all of my hard work (okay, admittedly, I slacked a bit at first.. A lot at first) and time has lead me to finish my first year at University and I can only hope and pray it pays off as I've really pulled my socks up towards the end of this year!

With deadlines out of the way, it gave me some time to reflect on my time at Robert Tressell Halls with the end of first year fast approaching. It still feels weird to say that. In some ways I feel like I literally got here yesterday but there will be days where I can't stand the place and feel like I've been here all my life and just wish to go home. I'd never trade any of it for the world though, when I really think about it. I've had plenty of ups and downs here but it's been the best experience, I was always so unsure about coming to Uni but I saw it as the "next step" for me, and I'm so glad I've stuck at it.

I've met some of the best people since being here and learnt a lot about myself as well as lots of other things. I've managed to live on noodles and vodka (fuck loads of vodka.. Glen, you're the only man for me), I've become (almost) completely independent, I've learnt that sometimes you can wear items of clothing more than once just so you don't have to walk all the way to basement and pay to wash your clothes (but when you get to your last pair of undies, you know it's time to do a wash), I've found a true talent I never knew I had.. The art of napping, I can nap even when I'm not tired.. I've learnt that your night practically relies on pre-drinks, I've learnt that you have to enjoy your own company, that you will choose a night out over being able to live, that tinned food is vital and that your shit will randomly go missing and/or stolen but that's the beauty of living in Halls.
The people I've met here are amazing, it makes you wonder how you never knew about their existence! But a special shout out to my Wildcats, September is going to be fucking awesome. Keep doing you. Or I'll fucking fist you. *Ja'mie point* I fucking love you X

I want to write about you

I want to write. I want to write about you, about us. My mind is so busy, my heart is so full and yet the words won't come out how I want them to. I want to do our love justice.  Heartbreak. I honestly believe this is the hardest thing I have ever been through and the most significant event in my life so far. And the pain - the pain is so real. I feel this empty void in the space where you used to be. Sounds so dramatic but the complete and utter numbness you've left is unbearable.  When you go through a break up, you think you'll know what to expect. I've been through it all before and I don't doubt i'll go through it again. It gets worse every time. Each time a little more of you gets taken away, each time you become a little more vulnerable and your walls go up a little higher.  When we were together, I used to imagine being without you but you can never emotionally prepare yourself for it until it actually happens, and of course you never imagine ...

The art of carrying on

This blog post isn't about anything in particular as such, but I just had one of those moments of realisation as I was packing all of my room away ready for the Summer that awaits me. I realised that sometimes carrying on is the most important thing to do, simply just carrying on. You may be thinking, "what on earth is she on about" or even "well, of course it's important to carry on!" but I realised that this really can be the answer to anything. This year has tested me more than any other. I've been thrown curve balls that no one should have to deal with. As well as this, there is the stress of work, which ultimately everyone has to deal with at some stage in their lives. This whole Uni experience has been a massive learning curve, naturally. But also aside from academic work also comes my own personal achievements. Although I am not yet the person I want to be, or even the person I was, I am still learning. And I think that alone is amazing. That ever...

Disclaimer: I am not an expert in heartbreak

Hey! So, the other day I read through some of my older posts and realised that a lot of them are about my ex (too many of them)- that was by no means my intention but it just so happens that a lot of what I want to say and a great deal of what I have learnt recently is because of that break up, I thought I should clarify that. I think it's wrong of people to say you shouldn't post about a certain topic.. Who are you to tell me what I can and can't publish? If it helps me then who are you to tell me to stop doing that? And now, amazingly, not only is it helping me but other people too. It's like if I was to post a picture of myself naked (besides the fact I wouldn't do that.. TT's on Tumblr don't count..), say, because I was having a "good body day", should people not see that and think "good on you!" (okay, admittedly at first you'd be like, what.. but you have to commend them on their bravery) because even if it seems effortless for ...
