2020

Well, you've been a year like no other. 

Honestly at the beginning of the year I thought this was going to be the best year ever. Little did I know what was to come. 

It wasn't a great start as five days in, my Granddad sadly passed away so already the year was a sad one. 

A good thing happened in February after applying for jobs and getting rejected plus one flat viewing which didn't end up going ahead. I decided to apply to a master's degree for September and got accepted. Yay. Things were looking up and it felt like I had my life on track. 

Then March happened. Lockdown. 

How everything became very different. Face masks were worn. Everyone was sanitising way more than usual. It was normal to sing happy birthday while you washed your hands. Unable to visit people outside your household. Visits to my grandparents were spent in the garden while they sat inside. Social distance was a law but to be honest that is not such a bad thing because I like my personal space. Everyone is confused. 

Who knew this year would be like this?

We've had to create a new normal for ourselves. When we leave the house we have to remember our face masks. We have to keep our distance and not visit. 

Whatever your views are on this, clearly it's not going away so you may as well do your bit to stay safe. I know it sucks. Do you really think anyone is enjoying this? No. Just set a good example. Remember people are a phone call away so it's not the end of the world. Make sure though that your mental health and well-being is okay. Reach out if you're struggling. Just because you're in lockdown again doesn't mean you can't talk to anyone. 

Let's all try to do our best and maybe in a year's time we'll all be back to the way we were and laughing hopefully. We all need a bit of joy in our lives and stay positive and things will hopefully get better. 

Here's to 2021 and if you're reading this then I wish you all the happiness for the next year. You deserve it. 

Thank you for reading my blog and I'll be back again with another post next year. (Sorry I had to.)

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

Image
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
