Happy Halloween! It's the scariest day of the year! Not really, but it's still exciting.  Whether you're going out trick or treating, having a halloween party, watching a scary movie or listening to a true crime podcast. I hope you have a very spooky day and that you have fun. Remember to stay safe when trick or treating because you never know who is on the other side of the door and just remember to have fun and it's okay to get a little spooked but also know when enough is enough. Especially if you're home alone, don't spook yourself so much that you can't sleep. When I've been home alone, I just turn all my lights off so no trick or treaters can come knocking on my door. Although I think the rule is there has to be a lit pumpkin outside the house as that's a sign that it's okay for trick or treaters to come. Whether people listen to that rule or not, just remember to stay safe and don't go trick or treating on your own.  Anyway, I hope you...

Halloween is just a week away and to many it may seem like just another day but for a lot of people Halloween is a time to make plans and celebrate the day for all its worth. I thought I'd share some ideas on things you can do this Halloween to get you ready for the spooky day.  1. Trick or Treat This is an obvious one but trick or treating is a traditional thing when Halloween comes around. It's often where kids and teenagers dress up and go around knocking on neighbours doors for sweets. Of course I think trick or treating when you're an adult is often frowned upon but it's fun for the kids and teenagers as it's a chance for them to get lots of sweets. It's important though to only knock on people's houses that have a pumpkin outside their house as many don't like to be disturbed. Although some people just ignore that rule and knock anyway. On the other end, if you're like me and the thought of having people knock on your door throughout the night ...

It's kind of scary how often we are on phones, tablets and laptops. Even now as you're reading this post, it's through a screen. One thing I did a while ago was activate my Apple screen time which sends me a weekly reminder of how much screen time I've had on it which is honestly quite scary when you realise how many hours you spend on your phone. A lot of the time my screen time averages between six to eight hours which may not seem like a lot but remember we're asleep for eight hours during the night which means roughly 16 hours is during the day and if you minus the screen time, it means you're spending half the day you're awake on your phone which is kind of crazy.  Now, I'm not making this post to say get off your phone because a lot of the time we need our phones. Sometimes, we're just watching a video which can take some time. My guilty thing is I watch a lot of true crime videos that tend to be an hour long on my phone. Although I'm often...

Halloween happens once a year and whether you like it or not, you can still have a fun evening.  1. Movie Night Halloween is the perfect excuse to have a movie night and it can be as scary or tame as you want it to be. It's entirely up to you. My personal recommendations for someone who doesn't like horror movies: Hocus Pocus 1 & 2 Corpse Bride The Nightmare Before Christmas Sweeney Todd The Rocky Horror Picture Show Monster House Beetlejuice Literally any Tim Burton movie So grab some popcorn, set the mood by lighting some candles and it's the perfect excuse if you don't want any trick or treaters disturbing your night to switch all your lights off as that will really set the Halloween mood. 2. Carve a pumpkin It's fun to just get creative with a pumpkin. Whether you do it on your own or with family and friends, you may as well get in the Halloween mood by carving a pumpkin. There's so many different designs out there. Give it your best shot. 3. Pumpkin rec...

It's the last day of October which means it's Halloween. Whether you celebrate the day or not I hope you have a great spooky day.  Whether you are out trick or treating, having a sleepover, and watching scary movies or just eating as many sweets/candy as you physically possibly can. However, you're spending the day I hope you have fun whatever it is you are doing. Even if you're working, I hope you were allowed to dress up because that might make the day even more exciting than usual.  My plans include watching a lot of Tim Burton movies which include Sweeney Todd, Edward Scissorhands, and Corpse Bride as well possibly the scariest childhood movie I've ever watched: Monster House. Trust me if you watched this as a kid, did it not terrify you because it terrified me. I haven't seen it in years, so I want to see if it's as scary. I'm not the biggest fan of scary movies anyway so you may find my choice of movies not that scary but there are no real rules fo...

I'm quitting this blog. I'M JOKING! I couldn't imagine quitting this blog. I love coming on here and just having something to write about. As you've probably noticed from how regular I post and the random posts here and there that I have no real structure to my blog. I just post what I like when I feel like it. It helps because it takes the pressure away from writing blog posts all the time. I'm sure if this was a full time job then I would be loads better at regularly posting. Sometimes I just like when a random idea pops into my head and I just wonder would I be interested in reading a post like it, if the answer is yes then obviously, I'm going to write about it. I think that's what makes this blog so personal to me but obviously I never reveal too much personal information about myself. I still don't post pictures of me on here. There's only about three in total of me on this blog. I think that's what I like about blogging and would never do ...

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...

To My Sixteen Year Old Self, Everything is going to be okay. You're probably freaking out because you're about to do your GCSEs and you're probably thinking that this is the most important year of your life. Well let's just say it is and it isn't. It may seem like there's so much pressure to do well in your GCSEs but really it shouldn't have to be. Let's just say as your twenty two year old self. Nobody has cared that I have a GCSE in English Language or Maths or Science. They don't really matter and a grade on a piece of paper does not define who you are. I wish I could say life gets so much easier as you get older and it doesn't. However, school will be over for you in two and a half years and trust me. You'll feel much happier when you've finished school. I suggested stop pining after the man of your dreams. You're not going to find him in school and you won't find him in university. I know you're going to develop a ...

Unfortunately this is not some exciting post where I tell you I'm going away somewhere. This is just a post to say that tomorrow is the start of my first official holiday away from work which is nine days. Having worked for two months now, I feel like now is the right time to have a break from it. My life has literally been work, eat, sleep and repeat constantly. It'll be nice to have nine days off and just not have to think about work. I also have my graduation next week so that is something to look forward to. Me and my mum are heading up to Chester for three days which is something to look forward to. I'm also really nervous about falling over on stage. I know everyone fears this but honestly I trip over nothing most of the time so yeah that's one small thing I'm a little afraid of happening but I'm going to try and not think about it too much. One thing though that you can definitely count on is me posting everyday this month so I'll make sure to...

Long time no blog post. I know. It's been a while but honestly I have been super busy doing assignments for uni. Now though I have a lot of free time on my hands because I have finally finished university. I can't quite believe it's over. Where did those three years go? It feels like yesterday I was arriving to university and a nervous fresher wondering what the next three years hold and now I've crossed the finishing line. I am here. Done with uni. All I have to do is wait for results and I hope I've passed. Fingers cross. For now though I have a lot of free time and five days until I officially move out of my student house. Which means I have a lot of packing and sorting out to do this week. I have to say though it has been an amazing three years of my life and I will miss being a student. I've been in educstion for nearly 17 years of my life and honestly it feels very weird to be finished with education. Although knowing I probably won't have to sit ...

The realisation just hit me that I do not have long left until my third and final year of university is over. My last deadline is on the 9th May which is in 10 weeks and I have one exam afterwards then that's it. I'll be done with university. You don't realise how quickly your final year of university goes by. As soon as you reach the end of February that's when it suddenly becomes real that you don't have a lot of time left. Granted there is a lot of work which still needs to be done in those ten weeks but it's kind of scary. I submitted my fourth assignment of third year on Tuesday so I ended up checking to see what my next deadline was and it turns out to be my dissertation in April. Yeah. The big dissertation. The one that every third year dreads and it's my next deadline. After that I have four assignments and an exam but still. That's when it really hit me that I don't have long left until my third year is over. It's both sad and excit...

So today's photo is a little sad but here it is. I'm not going to lie. I was a little confused when I saw the world Pearl Habour on it. I know what happened there but I was like why is it in this photo challenge. So I googled it and it turns out that it happened on this day. I find war and bombing really sad. I don't know if you've been hearing about what's been happening in the UK about whether or not to bomb Syria. I completely disagreed with this as I don't believe they should fight violence with violence. I'm not sympathising with terrorism but I'm just thinking of all the innocent people like children that have done nothing wrong are going to be frightened or even worse killed because of the bombing. It's just sad. I don't mean to bring politics into this and this will be the only time I talk about this in this blog because I don't want to bring anyone down as that's not what this blog is all about. Anyway, that...

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope you have a great day and night. Whether your out trick or treating or watching scary movies with friends or by yourself. I hope you have fun. I'm currently in a farm by myself watching Cats (I know that's not a scary film but I don't like watching scary movies by myself, plus I don't have any scary movies on me) By the way if you're wondering why I'm on a farm. I came home for a few days because it's reading week next week. Anyway, that's all I had to say. I'll be back soon with another post. Bye guys. I love you all. 

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...

Hey guys! So the other day, I faced a fear. Most people won't consider this a fear or they think it's stupid but I do consider this a fear. I'm scared to talk to strangers on the phone. I don't know why though. I'm just scared that I'll dial the wrong number or I can't hear what they say or I'll say something wrong. It's not so bad if I have to phone someone I know like a family or a friend but it's just something about talking to a stranger that makes me nervous. Although, it may be the fact that I'm shy and I'm terrified to talk to someone I don't even though. I can't even raise my hand in class because I'm scared I'll have the wrong answer and everyone will just laugh. It's the same with talking in front of a group or a class. I'm scared that everyone's judging me or I'll make a fool out of myself. I know I'm just being paranoid and over thinking the situations. But after you've fac...
