Megan Time!

Today’s post I thought I’d do a little rambly post while I drink coffee. I haven’t done one of these in a while so I thought why not do it for one of the days I’m posting everyday for a month. I got my coffee here so let’s get started. So how’s everyone’s first week of September been? Mine was a little chaotic with work but it was also good because I got to spend time with my favourite person twice which was very nice. Honestly having someone to hang out with and spend time with is so nice. Especially when you’re so used to being independent that you never thought you’d know any different but it’s honestly nice. Knowing I can be independent but also I have a special someone to spend time with. It’s great. Although I spend my time living out of an overnight bag, it’s worth it.  Other than that, nothing else has really been going on in my life as of yet. I do have a concert I’m going to in about two weeks time to see McFly VS Busted which I’m very excited about. I also booked a holid...

As some of you know, I’ve recently got a new car. Now I passed my test back in August 2023 but I haven’t actually driven a car since passing my test. This year I was able to get myself a car, ford fiesta trend 2023. I absolutely love it because a ford fiesta is what I learned in so it was very familiar to me. I was driving a lot with my mum when I first got it but last week I decided to drive to work on my own and it was the best decision. It felt weird but I slowly got used to it.  The other day I actually went for a drive on my day off, it was a nice feeling because I was on my own and wanted to get out of the house. I decided to go for it. It is still a little nerve wracking but I feel more confident than I did a few weeks ago. It’s just a nice feeling when you can drive. I can take myself anywhere and go where I want. Plus I can sing along to my favourite tunes in the car with nobody judging me. I do have a P plate on the back of my car as I have stalled a couple of times so I’...

What does independence mean to you? When you're an adult, you're officially becoming independent because you have to learn how the real world works. When you're in school and university, the world is like a bubble. You kind of still have some authority figures in your life. Afterwards though, you have to work things out for yourself and realise it's on you to get things sorted. Things like finding a job, working out where you're going to live, paying bills and you have to do most of these things on your own. I'm quite lucky because I'm 27 years old and I'm currently living at home because my financial situation won't be enough to live on my own. That's okay because most adults in their twenties live at home because they can't afford rent, mortgages and bills etc. Of course we're at home, saving to eventually move out but at least we're living comfortably. I'm lucky that going to university, I've had that experience of living o...

Yeah, I'm still here. Still single. I've come to accept this reality. I accepted it a long time ago, but this year I had hoped that everything would change. I was wrong though unfortunately. Sometimes there are just too many red flags that you can no longer ignore and suddenly realise that he doesn't see you in that way. It's kind of funny because when you're younger you think by the age of twenty five, you'll find your future husband and be settling down but that's not the case for me. To be honest I don't even know if by the time I get to thirty I will have had a boyfriend. Maybe that's a record. Who knows? It's just kind of sad because you realise that people just give up on you like you're nothing, but the sad thing is you'd never do that to them. It's their loss at the end of the day because they've chosen not to be with someone who is loyal and has a big heart. I know one day (maybe) Mr Right will come along and perhaps for ...

Well, here we are again. Valentine's Day and I find myself spending it alone. Again.  I surprisingly thought this year might be different but sometimes life gets in the way, and you find yourself feeling even more confused about your own love life than ever before. I think this year feels even more disappointing because the previous Valentine Day's I knew there was no hope in having a Valentine, so I planned a single's appreciation day which usually involved feel-good movies, a takeaway, chocolate, and popcorn. Just a happy day to myself.  This year though I had hope that maybe I might have plans for Valentine's Day with a special someone but the closer the weekend got the less likely that seemed possible. So here I am on Valentine's Day feeling slightly disappointed and not even bothered about doing anything nice. Just staying offline and pretending this day doesn't exist seems to be how I'm going about today. At least I have the day off work.  I know this ...

Nope this is not a review of the movie with the same name but if you are single then do go check it out because it is a fun feel good movie to watch. This is just a little post from yours truly on how to be single. As I've been single for pretty much 22 years of my life, I'm going to give you some tips and ticks on how the single life works and what you should do so let's get started. 1. It's okay to be single We live in a world where by the time you're an adult, you're supposed to find true love and get married in order to live a happy life. However, having been a child of divorced parents I've learnt that marriage is not forever. I know people can be happily married for years and years but I also know that marriage can lead to divorce. Just know it's okay to be single because you don't have to worry about the thought of divorce or that your significant other is cheating because you're already single. The only person you need to worry a...

I know I said yesterday that I wasn't going to post anymore in 2016 but I was just sitting on the sofa thinking a lot about this year and all the things I've done. I didn't actually realise it until I was sitting home alone that I have done a lot which have sort of helped me and given me more room to love myself. Since being at university I have learned to be more independent and do things for myself. I've learned to cook meals, do laundry, keep my bedroom and do my own grocery shopping. Before going to university I never used to do most of these things and now I can do them with no questions asked. I've also grown a lot with independence because I've done things which I never thought I'd do alone. I actually planned day trips for myself. Now I know you're thinking why did I do these things alone but honestly I didn't mind and I didn't know if any of my friends wanted to go with me so I just decided to go alone and save the hassle. It al...

It's the end of another year and nearly the start of a new year. 2016 has been a very interesting year. So much happened that it felt like it flew by so fast. Many great celebrities died this year. It was quite surprising how many died and so many recognisable names too. All of whom will be missed and I'm sure some of you were saddened by some of their deaths. The next interesting thing that happened was the UK got to vote whether to stay or leave the European Union. Surprisingly the UK voted to leave which shocked many people including myself. Obviously the UK will soon see the changes of Brexit in 2017 so let's just hope it was the right decision and whatever happens, happens. Another big thing that happened was the US Elections and it was a race between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Donald Trump became president which also shocked lots of people including myself. Let's just say 2016 was the year full of surprises. A few things happened in my life in ...

Sometimes you just need time for yourself. I'm currently in my new house with my friends and it's going great so far. I did a grocery shop in Audi and got a lot of things for meals and of course I bought some little treats as well because sometimes you get cravings chocolate and it's okay to get some chocolate. Everybody will understand. Anyway it felt nice to be able to do my own shopping again and buy the foods I like. I get to choose what meals I can have and it's also nice to be away from home. Home can sometimes be stressful with your family nagging to get a job or lose some weight or do something out of the house. It's actually kind of hard to do that when you're living in the middle of nowhere and it's like a three mile walk to the bus stop. That's why I thought it would be nice to go and stay in my new house for a bit. Just to get away and because I can go outside and easily walk to the shops. I just get to chill out for a second and be ind...

I'm now in my third term of university. It's crazy how fast the year has gone. I swear Freshers was yesterday. My life has changed so much since I've come to university. I'm more independent than ever before. I can do my own cooking, cleaning and laundry. All by myself. Shocking I know as before uni I never really did any of those things. I'm also independent that I'm not relying on anyone. I can go shopping by myself and I can go to places by myself. I've been to loads of places by myself since I've been at uni. I've been to Liverpool, Chester and Manchester on my own and had loads of enjoyable day trips by myself. I've even been to the cinema twice by myself which I never thought I'd do. I've actually realised that nothing is stopping me from going to do the things I want to do. If I want to see a movie in the cinema. I can. If I want to visit a place. I can. Nothing can stop me. That's what I've realised at uni...

Hey guys! So it has been a while since I last made a post. That is because I have finally moved away from home and into university. It's been a great three weeks here and I feel like moving away from home for uni was the best decision I ever made. I feel so independent and more like an adult. I've made lots of friends in my hall and I really enjoy my course which is Advertising and Media Studies. While I've been here I've had to do my laundry, wash up my dishes, cook for myself etc. It's been crazy but I've loved every minute of it and I'm looking forward to the rest of the year.  The reason why I haven't made a post is because I've been too busy going to lectures or socialising or doing laundry. I haven't really had much motivation or time to make a blog post. Sadly though yesterday was the day I caught freshers flu which meant today was not a good day. I felt so awful. I had a really bad sore throat and a headache. I also had a bad c...

Hey guys! So next week on Sunday I'll be starting my journey to university.  I'm both excited and nervous. I'm excited because it's a new chapter in my life. I get to be independent and make my own choices. I'll also hopefully be able to meet new people and make new friends.  However, I'm nervous because I'll be 3 hours away from home.  I'm not going to know anyone when I first get there. I'm nervous about if I'll struggle with the work. I'm also living on my own. No more mum helping me with things. I have to work out things by myself or with other people.  I know for a fact during the first and second week of uni I'm going to be homesick. That's why from looking at videos and blogs the biggest tip I've found to stop you from being homesick is make your room look as homely and familiar as possible. Bring most of your bedroom decorations that way you won't feel like your sleeping in a strangers bedroom. Y...
