5 Positive Things In 2020

I know, after the year 2020 has been it's hard to believe there may be some positive things that happened this year. It got me thinking though as we're slowly coming up to the last few days of 2020 that maybe a few positive things happened this year and I thought I'd make this post to share with you guys five positive things that happened to me. I'd encourage you to do the same as you may surprise yourself. 

So as 2020 comes to an end, here are five positive things that happened to me in 2020. 

1. Going to university to do a master's degree
Honestly I'm so happy I decided to do a master's degree because I had no idea what I was going to do with my life and after numerous job rejections, I decided to take a chance with doing a master's degree. Honestly I'm really happy I decided to do it because now it feels like I have a purpose in my life. Obviously it's very different this year with the pandemic and most of it being online but it's made me happy. I've moved away from home again and I feel more independent. It's a little bit stressful I'm not going to lie but when the work is done, it feels great. Definitely do not regret my decision to go back to university this year. 

2. Spending time with my mum
Most of this year was spent at home with my mum and honestly without her, I'm not sure how I would have been able to cope through the lockdown. She's honestly my best friend and I'm so happy my mum and I are so close. She's been there for me since the day I was born (literally) and I honestly have the best mum in the world (I know I'm a little bit biased there). It's been nice to just spend time with my mum and know we have each other. This pandemic has made me realise how important family is and that you should never feel like you're on your own. 

3. Social distance became a law
I'm going to be honest with you. I'm so glad social distance is a literal law. I need my personal space and hate random strangers just walking so close to you in the street. It's honestly nice to walk down the street and see people cross the road to avoid you because we're meant to keep 2m apart. Especially queues in the shopping. Best decision ever. I'm sorry if it bothers anyone but when you're a socially awkward introvert that needs her personal space, social distance is honestly the best thing. 

4. Reading 35 books 
I absolutely love reading and this year has reignited that love of reading. Spending so much time at home meant I was able to get through my tbr list and I'm so happy I did because I found some hidden gems in some of the books as you may be able to tell from my previous post. It was nice to escape from reality for a while and jump straight into a new story. I've never read so many books in one year and I hope to beat my record in 2021. 

5. Moving to Manchester
Another positive thing that happened was I moved to Manchester to go to university and that's made me so happy because Manchester is such a cool city. There's so much opportunity and so far my time in Manchester has been great. I know I made a good choice in being in Manchester and I look forward to what the city holds for me. Who knows what will happen in the future but I'm excited about where it will take me. 

So yeah, that's five positive things that happened to me in 2020. I know it was a rough year for so many of us but hopefully next year will be better now that we're fully prepared for this pandemic. It's not going away anytime soon but at least we can all do our part to keep everyone safe.

Anyway, thank you for reading my blog and hopefully you've thought of a few positive things that happened to you this year. I'll be back again soon with another blog 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

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
