How To Be Single?

Image
The single life is inevitable. I've been single for over a year and have been single for many years now that I consider myself to be an expert at it. It can be rough but also quite enlightening and especially when you discover how to enjoy life while being single then you may find it something you don't want to change anytime soon. I thought I'd share my tips on how to be single and still live a happy life. Let's get started.  1. Learn to be independent Something I learned back in my uni days was if I wanted to do something, I should just do it. No matter if I was with people or on my own. It was actually so fulfilling after feeling lonely and getting a bad case of FOMO. I decided to plan something to do on my own. That's when I took a trip to the Trafford Centre and not only that but I decided to also brave going to the cinema on my own. I couldn't quite believe I was doing it but I did and honestly it was the best decision because I discovered a love of going

Chapter Nine

Image
I can't believe it's September, it feels like yesterday I was doing Chapter One on New Year's Day and here we are nine months later like a new baby being born. Not that there's anything new as I've been doing these chapter posts for nine months but at least I'm consistent.  This month is an exciting month for me because not only is it the beginning of my favourite season which is Autumn, at the end of this month I'm going to Las Vegas for a week to celebrate my mum's sixtieth birthday. I'm very excited for it because I've never been to Las Vegas, it's my first time on the West coast of America and also we're going to visit the Grand Canyon while we're there so that's another exciting thing to cross off my bucket list. I'm also one of those weird people that likes travelling on a plane, it's always exciting to me and it's even more exciting because we're going to have those TVs on the back of the seat which I'm

August Favourites

Image
It's the end of the month and you know what that means. A favourite post of all the things I've been loving in August. It seems to be mainly TV shows and movies I've been enjoying this month but August is the month to chill out so it makes sense. Anyway, let's get started. I'm In The Band I've been meaning to watch this show for the longest time but it was never on Disney plus and I couldn't find it anywhere to buy. Then one day I was on the iTunes store and decided to look it up which is when I found all forty one episodes. I was so excited that I made a mature decision and bought the entire series. That way I can rewatch the series. It's a series I loved watching when I was a teenager because it was on Disney XD and the humour was definitely for the teenagers and older. Even now I still laugh at it because it has so much slapstick in it and I love slapstick. Plus it's a show about a rock band so it has adult characters, the teenager bits are a litt

Day 31 Goodbye

Image
Today's photo is goodbye. I'd thought I'd end the photo challenge with a selfie and my usual pose of a peace sign because I don't know how to pose in photos. The reason why is it's the final day of my August photo challenge. I can't believe it's finally the end of August. It seemed to go both really slowly but also really quickly. Things I did at the beginning of the month feel like they were months ago but two weeks ago feels only like last week. I think because so much happens in the Summer month that before you know it, it's gone. One thing I don't miss is that feeling of knowing I have School at the beginning of September. I do not miss those days one bit. I do miss that feeling of going to university though and preparing for that. I guess it's slightly different because I was actually doing a course I liked but also having the opportunity to live on my own. I think I'd love to relive my university days, although I'd do some things sl

Day 30 Evening

Image
Today's photo is of the evening. On this particular evening I decided to get cosy and immersed by switching the lights off to watch Beetlejuice. I haven't seen this movie in so long and because the new movie is coming out soon, I felt like watching it just to refresh my memory. I'm hoping to take a trip somewhere to go watch the new one as I haven't been to the cinema in so long. I'm probably going to go alone as nobody I know seems interested in seeing it, which I'm quite excited about. I'll make a whole day trip out of it. I haven't been to the cinema in so long by myself, I used to do it a lot when I was in university and I always enjoyed it every single time. It's a whole different experience compared to when you see it with other people. There's less pressure on whether the other people with you are enjoying it, plus you get popcorn and a drink all to yourself which is a bonus.  Having this cosy evening made me realise how much I'm looki

Day 29 Morning

Image
Today's photo of the day is Morning. This was on Bank Holiday Monday morning, the festival was over and I was just enjoying a coffee while watching the sun rise. It was quite content and peaceful. It was still pretty early as not many people had got up. Probably trying to get as much sleep as possible before they have to start packing the tent away. It's amazing how quickly it goes. You spend all your time preparing for the festival, buying things for it and then before you know it you're packing it all away again for another year.  This festival actually made me do a lot of thinking and I realised, I've only ever been to the festival with my mum and her friend. I've never actually been with any actual friends or even a partner. I sometimes get envious of people that have big groups they can hang out with but at the same time I'd rather just one person that was either my friend or partner I could hang out with at the festival. It would be nice and I hope maybe o

Day 28 Music

Image
Today's photo of the day is music. As you're aware if you've been reading my recent posts, I went to the Big Tribute Festival in Aberystwyth over the weekend. I'd highly recommend it because they have so many tribute artists performing as well as local artists playing in between the bigger acts. It's great. I thoroughly enjoyed it and have been going to this festival for the past ten years. I love it. In terms of music, I'm not a huge music fan as my taste is pretty random. I like mainly noughties songs and musicals so some of the artists I had heard of but I'd never known their songs. Majority of the songs I know were songs that were on Glee. I know that's a sad millennial response but my music knowledge and songs became wider from watching Glee. I can hear a song and be like, oh that was on Glee. To be fair though, I don't often search for new songs as I prefer to stick to what I know and love. I do feel like music does affect your mood and there a
