5 Things That Are Helping Me

During this time in lockdown, I have had a lot of time to think and I have been doing a few things which have really been helping me out a bit.

1. Staying off social media
One thing that has really helped me out is staying off social media. I have deleted the Facebook and Snapchat apps off my phone and I no longer spend a lot of time endlessly scrolling through Twitter or Instagram. Mostly because everyone is pretty much saying the same thing these days and I just don't see the point of social media anymore. It has been really helpful to just stay off social media.

2. Reading
Reading books has really helped me to the past the time. As you know if you've been reading my blog, I have been slowly going through the books on my bookshelf that I haven't read yet. I am discovering why I actually bought a few books and discovering some new favourites which is really nice. Plus it feels good to add more books to my read list. My goal is to read twenty books this year which I'm on track to do.

3. Colouring in
I've also spent a bit of time colouring in some of my colouring books. I've never actually fully completed one before so I thought now is the time to do so. It feels very therapeutic. I like to do while I'm either listening to audiobook or watching a movie or TV Show. Which brings me onto the next thing that has been really helping.

4. Watching Friends
I've been currently binge watching Friends and I'm currently in the middle of Season 3. It has been a while since I've watched the episodes back to back so it's kind of nice to switch it on to my current episode. One thing I am so grateful for is having the Friends DVD box set because that has really been helpful.

5. Spending time with my mum
This lockdown has allowed me to spend more time with my mum. Obviously we hang out a lot anyway because we live together but we've had moments where we just talk, watch movies and TV together plus even eating dinner together. It feels really nice and having her around has stopped me from going inside because I have someone to talk to everyday. Spending time with my mum has really helped me out a lot.

Anyway, that's five things that have been really helping me out a lot. Let me know something that has really helped you during this lockdown.

Thank you for reading my blog and I'll be back tomorrow with another post.

See you then.

My Future Plans

Image
Planning for the future is probably one of the most scariest things. Especially when you have an end goal but have no idea how to achieve that goal. Of course many things can go wrong and you're kind of terrified to take that risk. That's how I'm feeling right now. I have the whole Christmas and New Year off which is essentially going to be spent planning what I'm going to do next. I want to move out of my mum's house by February. I want to get a job or an internship which is relevant to my degree. As you can probably tell, these are some major changes for me and I'm terrified but also kind of excited. I'm itching to start planning and I have spent several hours looking at flats to rents these past few months. Soon though it's all going to be real. I know it's going to be scary and I probably have no idea what I'm doing but at the same time, I can't wait for it all to happen. Life is about taking chances after all and sooner or later I

30 Things To Do Before I'm 30

Image
I thought I would do one of those posts where I talk about things I want to do in the future and why not do a 30 things I want do before I'm 30 so I have about nine years to achieve these thirty goals for myself. It's also something I could look back on when I am thirty years old to see if I actually have achieved any of these things. Hopefully I will but we'll have to wait and see in nine years time. 1. Get my degree Now this is probably an obvious one as I'm in my third year of university but honestly after two years of doing university it would be nice if next year I could have a degree. I also thought I'd start this list with something I could definitely achieve (fingers crossed) before I'm thirty years old. 2. Visit Harry Potter Studio Tour/Harry Potter World/Both As I am a massive Harry Potter fan I would actually like to visit the studio tours in London or visit Harry Potter world in Walt Disney World because they look absolutely amazing and wo

Chapter Two

The end of the longest month of the year to enter the shortest month of the year, except it's a leap year so instead of twenty eight days, we have twenty nine days. How exciting.  I've had an interesting first month of the year. I booked a once in a lifetime trip to Las Vegas and I'm also planning on booking a holiday to Ireland which is very exciting as I've never been to Ireland before. I think this year is going to be full of adventures so I'm looking forward to what this year will bring. It's getting me motivated to start living a healthier lifestyle though. Eating less and moving more.  I'm also still saving up on top of all the holidays, I hope to buy a car this year. I'm not sure what I'm planning on doing this February. I know there's Valentine's Day which as a single person is a day I detest, although I'm going to make plans and celebrate my single hood. Then of course there's pancake day which is always a treat. There's
