Time Away!

Starting my blog just before moving back to university was definitely a bad move. I have been so distracted by university life that I completely neglected my blog and forgot to post. My next post will be a room tour as I love my cute little new room! It is very strange being in a house this year compared to being in halls, which was so close to everything, but I am so happy to be back at university. So much has happened since being back that I did not expect. I've realised who are my real friends and drifted away from toxic people that I didn't realise were making me unhappy. I feel much more content with my life compared to in summer when I felt sad quite often. (Hey what can ya do!) This year is going so fast and I can't believe it is going to be Christmas soon! I still can't believe we've just passed Halloween and Fireworks. Who doesn't love a bit of dressing up and watching beautiful patterns light up the sky?!

Sorry this post is only small, but I will be sure to update you with a life post in the next week!

A Weekend Away In Devon

When I was younger I used to always go to Devon, so when my friend asked me if I wanted to join her and her family I jumped at the chance. It was a lovely holiday and was definitely short but sweet. Her family had rented out a cottage with it's own pool which I was very happy about! On the first 2 days we all settled in, going in the pool and exploring the garden which was so beautiful. We played badminton and Ella and I were doing rallies and ended up getting a score of 103! Well, that's what we're going to tell people. (Cough 28 or something cough).

Sunday was my favourite day. We went to Agatha Christie's house, which was sadly under construction so the beautiful architecture wasn't truly visible in all it's glory, and to Dartmouth. At Agatha Christie's house the scenery was picturesque and I could imagine her sitting on her front lawn bathing in the sun. I had my first ever scone at the cafe and I can't believe I've never had one before, it was delicious. Being the first time I had had a scone, for some reason I created it to be a sandwich, staring at it thinking how is this going to fit into my mouth?! Until Lucy stated bemused 'That's not how you eat it!' At least I learnt my lesson... 


On Monday we went to the beach and I had another first - I flew a kite, which wasn't as fun as I thought it would be. I have now realised that standing, reeling in a kite is never going to be one of my hobbies. The beach was so windy and I think we all got sand in our eyes... and our sandwiches! Despite the wind it was a lovely day, we played games on the beach such as bulldog and racing. We also buried Ella's cousin in the sand and my jeans ended up being covered in sand. I have always wanted to bury someone in the sand, so another one of the bucket list! 

When we got back from the beach, Ella and I had to rush in and grab our suitcases as it was time to go home. It felt as if our holiday had just started so we were emotional leaving and the holiday blues hit us straight away. It was such a nice weekend and I felt part of the family.

Shoes, shoes, shoes!


So at the moment I have a really long list of shoes that I want. I have always wanted to own a pair of Timberlands but they are too expensive for a student so I just have to long for them from afar. However, I have found a pair of boots from River Island that resemble Timberland's and I think I may just go for the splurge. I have also always wanted some doc martens, they are so cute and one day I will buy some! The Gwenny T-Bar Geek shoes are so adorable, they'd look really cute with frilly socks and a floral skirt. Now to win the lottery....

Obligatory Introduction Post

As a English and Media BA hons student I felt it would be good to create a blog to write down my thoughts, my life and my opinions on the latest media events. I have always wanted to start a blog and try to post on it regularly and thought why not just do it now?! I will start off with 5 facts about me for my first post.
  1. I can touch my nose with my tongue.
  2. I LOVE the smell of washing detergent and I have the Aloe & Soft Linen body shop diffuser which I could just smell all day.
  3. Reading is one of my favourite hobbies and I can read 3 books in one day.
  4. I am 20 yet feel like I am 14!
  5. When I was little, my sister used to talk for me. (How dare she! ;))
