It's been a while!!

Hi everyone,

I know it's been a while. The past couple of months (or however long it's been) has been crazy. So let's catch up!

So last year was year 12. That's all I have to say really.

Moving on.

This year is my first year of university. Yes it's been exciting but it's also been challenging. I under estimated how different uni was going to be from school and overall I have being feeling down. I have put down to a number factors, such as the change from school to uni, also getting use to being an 'adult'.

The one thing that school hardly touch on was how to handle everything that comes with being an adult, such as taxes and now everything is on you. Espically at my school there was so much focus on scores what uni you were going to, and all your time was spent studying in order to achieve the score to get into uni. Lucky for me it was about my score for uni but the my level or art and design skills that I had to offer.

So now that I am in uni I being to question whether uni was the best option or am I doing to right course. As during high school you hear stories how uni is a breeze you don't work as hard as you doin year 12 and no one cares, which it's not true, espically in my course. But don't get me wrong that course itself is good and offers a lot a jobs when finishing, but for me I am still going through my adjustment period. Which really doesn't help when I see some of my other friends find themselves straight away and going to all these parties and made heaps of new friends, and I feel kind of left out. Although I am not one that goes too many parties anyway, I guess I had this expectation that uni was going to be different to school, and I would work hard beacuse I no longer had to the subjects that I hated and I would be doing something that I like. However things haven't turned out as planed.

I do intend to still go to uni, as I do like the course despite its few like issues here and there, but as far as life in gernal I honestly don't know. Which is also another thing school didn't like so much, was 'I don't know' when answering what you wanted to do cause of the pressure to go to uni, as that was plan go to uni then work there wasn't really time to figure yourself out that was done through school. Which is a lot of pressure for teenagers to do, it's a stuipd system and if you didn't know what you wanted to do, you were shamed and asked 'why'. It just supports the reasons why everyone hates school, cause it places pressure on certain areas that in reality take a lot longer to figure out.

And here I am an adult by law and have now clue how to fill out a tax return.

Hope you guys have a great week.

Talk to you guys soon xx

Making it through Exams

Hi everyone,

So I know that many of you are going through exams right now and yes it is a stressful time but it doesn't have to be, but you will make it through it will be hard
but it is a great feeling once its done.

Exams are like a big test with all the years work down size into one small test and having to remember all of that can be hard.

So I have created a few tips that may be useful for someone of you when studying. Now I not saying that this is the right way to study because everyone has different ways of studying, but I thought it might take the stress off some people.

Tip 1: study in half to hour blocks. It is said that the mind can only concentrate for 45 minutes, and going on further just is pointless. So maybe study for half an hour then treat yourself to maybe half an hour on facebook or tumblr but make sure you commit it because it is easy to just not study. If you can't then maybe ask your mum and dad to hold your phone or ipad while you study then give it back to you while your on your break then so on.

Tip 2: write out a massive summary one of each of your subjects in to books. So what I did was I found spare note books in my room and for each one I wrote a summaries of my subjects into notes books, and had a note book on each subject so just incase you forget your books, you have your summary to look back on and study from. Plus it refreshes your mind on what you have learnt.

Tip 3: flip cards can be useful for remembering definitions and a good way to test yourself, I have found that to be useful in the past. I didn't really use them much this time round when studying but I wish I did.

Tip 4: don't force yourself to study, but still do some. But if you are the point where you are trying to focus but can't, then take a break and come back to it, but don't leave it too long because then your trying to putting it off.

So there are just some tips that maybe you guys might find useful, but as I said you don't have to take these into account because if you have a way the works then thats great. I hope you have enjoyed reading this post.

See you next time xx

Summer is Near

Hi everyone,

Summer is near and.....

EXAMS ARE OVER!!! For the past two weeks I have been full on with exams (again I am really sorry about my blogging, its been bad I know), but now its over and it is the best feeling because school now is basically over which means its almost summer holidays!!!

Summer holidays, it always puts me in a good mood when thinking about it. In the summer holidays, I feel the most relax and there is not stress to do anything, and of corse getting the summer tan is always a plus side, but not over doing it, but just a nice light summer glow is always nice. What do you like about summer?

As it is almost summer I am considering making a youtube channel where not only can I share things with you but also maybe do some make up tutorials on celebrities. I have been trying some out but they not ready just yet but yes that it what I am hoping to do. So that my little project this summer, its still in a working process because I still need to buy some equipment but I am hoping to start in the next month or so.

But I hope you all have been having a lovely week and if you are still doing exams I wish you the very best and hope that it all goes well.

See you next time

Wonderland

Hi everyone,

So it been a while, yeah sorry about that it's just been so busy lately with school, homework (as exams are coming up im 4 weeks which is scary), also I have had rowing, and drama and last night I went to a party which was Disney themed, I went as Alice from Alice and Wonderland, and my outfit consisted of a blue shirt and a white top with white shocks and black pair of flats. It's always fun dressing up and finding a costume although my costume was from things I had in my closest which is what I normally do, as it's saves time going out and shopping and also saves money, plus it's always good to recycle clothes cause you never know what you might have hidden. I hope that you guys have had a wonderful week xx

See you next time

Commitment

Hi everyone,

Commitment, which can also refer to also a promise or pledge to something or someone. When we make a commitment to something sometimes it hard to keep at it due to other things that may ocurr, but in saying this when you committ to something, just take it bit by bit, step by step. Sometimes committing can be stressful and trying but if you slow it down and just go about it your own way commitment can be a bit earlier. But if you are one of those people committing to something diffulcut maybe set yourself a goal but little ones, ones that can be achieve but then again it's really up to you on how you committ to something.

The reason why I am brought it up today is because it is almost the end of school holidays for me, which means back to reality aka school. Along with school there is also sport and other out of school activities plus homework. So I thought I would make a promise in saying I will countine to blog with that I hope to at least put up a blog post once a week and maybe even two. I really want to stay committed to blogging as in the past week there has been postive feed back from you guys, which has made my day and I would just like to say thank you, you guys have been wonderful and fabulous.

So comittment it's differnet for everyone, not everyone can committ to the same thing perfectly, it takes time. By if you are willing it committ to something that is always earlier, don't committ to something if you don't like, because then it's hard on you.

In summary form me again I would just like to say thank you again for your postive feed back and I hope to blog once a week.

See you next time ❤️

Keep Hoping

Hi everyone,

A few months ago I came across this book, Fault in Our Stars by John Green. I can tell you now, this book was perfect, I laughed, I cried, all my feelings just tumbled out at once. Now if you haven't read Fault in Our Stars, I highly recommend that you do. As this book is amazing and I can not wait for the movie.

Now the reason why I love this book is because I can relate to it, because I know people that have cancer and the challenges they face when having cancer, as it is tough and it does have an effect on family and friends. But I find people with cancer to be strong and courageous and the amount of hope they have is amazing. I makes me think how inspiring people with cancer are and what they going through and how they dealing with it. Its something you can't even put into words, because they are just normal people going through a tough situation in they lives but I can tell you I inspire to these people.

Now someone of you maybe know that having someone who is close to you that does have cancer, is tough, and watching someone you love go through that suffering and pain is hard. But what I can tell you is don't give up on hope because hope will keep you and the person going because you can't afford to think the worst, even if you know that the person dying, know that they are going to happy place and they will be safe.

I think if I can sum this whole thing up into a sentence or so I would say always keep hoping and if it is not a good outcome believe that things will get better and it will.

See you next time xx
