University Update: Making decisions.

I know I said I was taking a break from blogging but I really can't keep myself away at all, its like an addiction that I need to keep blogging, so I guess I'm back even though I haven't actually left but just in case I don't blog for a couple of days just know I am doing work for uni but I will eventually post something when I can. Anyways lets get Cracking with today's post.

Today's post is more of a university update and some decisions I've made. 

I will admit I actually haven't been enjoying university as much as I thought I would have, I still had some great memories but the whole education side hasn't been so great, I've been over stressed, I've had no motivation and not being my normal self, and I feel like the more I stay here the worst things for myself will get, and it'll turn out me failing university because I didn't take myself out of it for a while. 

For quiet some time now I've been thinking what I want to do with university that will make me happy, and that decision is taking a gap year for now, I will go back to education but I'm still unsure specially since a lot can happened in a year.

I have a couple of plans for the the year out that I can share with you, and those things are:

- I want to actually pass my driving test for once, every time I want to learn something always comes up like university for example but since thats not in the cards for this year I will learn to drive.

- I want to actually go travelling more, I'm planning a couple of places to go to but I will see if I have the guts to go by myself, I might have to bring some with me. 

- I want to actually start making some clothes and selling a couple online maybe.

- Visit more places in the UK, I always go to the same place but this will be after passing driving test.

- I actually want to work and earn money for a while.

- I might actually start my own Youtube Channel, I won't do regular vlogs but I will vlog if I'm doing something exciting things, favourites videos, challenges but I will let you all know if I do.

- Also having time to blog more.

I hope you will join me in this journey so please follow to keep to date with my blog. Also follow me on Instagram and Twitter where I post quiet a lot.

Thank you for taking your time to read.

First Year- First Semester

First Semester was such a roller coster, the up and downs and of course the mount of times we've all gotten drunk (White girl waisted). The worst part of getting drunk in front of your friends is the story they tell about you getting off why some guy and falling over, it can get embarrassing. 

Second Semester has arrived and being totally honest with you I'm not liking it at all, this place is so dead (I mean quiet). Everyone is either in their rooms doing nothing or hardly ever here, and theres been arguments already in this place, but hopefully everything with start picking up soon and we get to do more things other than always staying in, and go out as I don't think we've got the chance to do properly since last semester. 

I know I'm a little late on uploading since second semester started a couple of weeks ago but I had such an amazing first semester and I wanted to share with you all a round up of the first semester in a small video and I hope you all watching it.

Having an urge to do work

So knowing I have a deadline this afternoon I manged to have an urge to actually do work at 2ish in the morning for 2 hours which I surprised myself for doing so much in just 2 hours. 

Swear a few days I ago I had no motivation and now I suddenly do (this always seem to happen) now I'll be spending the rest of today doing work before going out tonight since it's been a while and my flat mate has her friend down to visit ( which is also an excuse to go get drunk).  

One thing I'll say to students out there, go to class, do the work when you get it so you don't have a moment of panic the night before you have to hand in because you'd left it to the last day, I never learned with this I'm always the one to do it the night before but now I actually have (kinda). If you want to succeed you have to keep on top, otherwise you won't achieve anything by doing so.

Having No Motivation

Recently I been having no motivations to do any university work and being in educations for that matter, I've started not enjoying it as much as I thought I would have, my passion is doing Fashion it has been for years and but having been in education for years and having no break between it all, it can start to get to you. If you read my university post (click here if you haven't) you'd understand why I'm going through this.

I feel like I want to go out and explore the world  to get an understanding on what I want to do with my life and I not feel like I'm being trapped into something that I have no motivation on doing at this moment.And I'm learning to actually do things for myself and no worry about what people will think and I need to start thinking about myself and what makes me happy, don't get me wrong I still want to go university and finish it but I feel like 8 need to take a year out either after my first or second year then go back into education after a year break, life decisions hopefully I get granted a gap year soon so I can get out of this depression like feeling. I don't know if feeling will go away or not I just know I need to start making life decisions on what makes me happy. Any who thought I'd share with yous about my feeling at being in education at the moment. 

Hope you all had a great weekend. 

University Advice

This post is about my past experience at university for the first time, and I wanted to share with you some advice on my behave. Some of you may be confused as to what you want to do or unsure if university is for you, hopefully this will be a helpful post.

I was never sure of going to University, I had a rough plan to go work and have internships so I'd work my way up, but my tutors had incuraged me to sign up to university and see how I feel about it once I got offers, and I also had my parents on my back about going university so I felt like I HAD to go for them and everyone else, I ended up accepting the offer to go to University (in 2012) I had enjoyed the first couple of months, I had met some great people, and had a good experience at university but I always felt like I was home sick (well thats what I thought at the start) I thought oh once I come back from holiday in December I will be fine but I actually wasn't I felt so depressed that I ended up giving up going into classes and doing the work spent my times getting drunk with people and sleeping in and always going home on the weekends, I ended up on actually lying to my parents saying I had a week off when I actually didn't, cause I wanted to get away from it all, I ended up talking to my mum who had supported me in my decision to leave university, I had called up the current university to ask if I could get giving a chance to study at the university again since they had giving me an offer before, they ended up accepting me again to study in September, once I had everything sorted I went into university and spoke to my tutors in which they was really nice about the whole situation and was supportive, I ended up officially leaving University in May, I had the whole of 5 months of summer to take my mind of being stressed and not having to think about studies. It was a tough decision I had ever had to make even more telling my parents my decision which they have supported me all the way through. I'm now in University in my second semester and I am enjoying it, there is times that I get home sick and other times that I think is university actually for me? but it just me being home sick as I love it here, got a course that I am enjoying and I've met some great people. 

What Im trying to say is its Your decision if You want to go to university or not, if you are unsure speak to someone at your school/college for advice or take a gap year so you can get an understanding on what you want to do, don't rush going to university because you think time is running out, its not! I've met quiet a few people who are over 20 who had a year or more out to work and have fun before starting university, you can go university at what ever age, don't rush it. There will be moments that you are home sick, and moments where you feel like you can't handle it remember that everyone is in the same boat as yourself, speak to someone it can either be your flat mates (who will actually feel the same way), tutors or student services they will be helpful and will give you advice on what ever you need. Don't just quit without getting advice, that is my biggest advice always talk to someone before making the decision of leaving. If you are unsure maybe stick it out for the first year, if you feel like at the end of the year its not for you, you can always transfer to a different course/university if quitting is something you don't want to do, theres so many options out there, as long as you know whats right for you. I will also recommend you going into Halls for your first year, as you won't feel so alone as you would in a shared housing accommodation for your first year, its best to go into halls as everyone is on the same boat as your self. Remember that you are doing this for yourself and not for anyone else, don't go because your tutors and parents told you to go like I did because you will end up regret that decision. 

Hope this was helpful or gives you some advice on what to do if you are unsure or confused, if you need advice on anything it can be about anything just leave a comment and I will try and be as helpful as I can.

Back at University

I'm back at University, and I come back to what will be a stressful 2 weeks due to deadlines next week. I can't believe first semester is already over, really wish it was still freshers week when we had no worry in the world. 

Was so happy to be back in the flat with the girls, its like having sisters, we've gotten so close in the small amount of time (3 months). I don't know what it is but when I'm at university I get home sick and I want to go home and see the family but once I'm there I want to come back here where I have my own space and I end up missing everyone here, wish I could have both in one place (one day I will).  Anyways enough of me blabbing away about University. 

I'm afraid I won't be posting anything this week until the end of next week when everything is back to normality, unless I have time over the weekend otherwise its until next weekend sadly. There will be a lot of posts I'd like to share with you, but that all takes time that I don't have (Sad crying face). But in the mean time you can always check my previous posts.

Hope you all are having a great week so far and also doing good.

All Moved In

Hey there my lovelies, just wanted to give a little update on things and actually do a post for you guys to make up the fact that I haven't posted anything for a while.
If you guys follow me on twitter or Instagram you'll know that I've recently moved to university and its been freshers week so my sleeping patterns are crazy at the moment, apologies for not posting anything I'm getting things sorted and I have classes and stuff going on but I  will be back to regular posting over the weekend.

Moving day was terrifying, didn't know what to expect and what everyone was going to be like specially since I had in mine that there was going to be around 9 of us in the flat but it turned out that it was only 4 of us, it was weird as we all applied for a mix flat meaning female and males but we got put as a all girls flat but in a way we were quite happy as we all clicked and so far we get on with each other, but there is some tensions going on but hopefully everything gets sorted out.

Okay lets get right into things, Freshers week was amazing, great laugh, met so many people and met the guys from the flat above which now we have a prank war going on, so things can get interesting.
Heres some pictures from freshers week.

Night One

Day Two

Hangover cure (Kinda)

 For some unknown reason I have no picture from round 3 of freshers night.

Round 4

Round 4

Round 6, School Disco

Apparently someone said that theres fireworks by the pier in Southend On Sea every Saturday up until Christmas Day, It looks amazing when everything is light up and fireworks are on. 

And of course I had to add a picture on what we did to the guys upstairs, it was so hilarious that we ended up getting caught do to us all laughing our heads off, now we have a war going but of course nothing else has happened yet but I will for sure let you guys know what other pranks have gone down once it happens.

Last Weekend at the University Northampton

It's really sad that I'm leaving Northampton University, I've had a great year, I've met some wonderful people who I'll miss very much, I'm going to miss all the memories and the great laughters I had with everyone, specially my flat mates even though we had our little arguments we all still became great friends, I'm never going to forget the pranks that I pulled and the pranks that people done to me, I've learnt so much from, them they taught me how be confident in myself, how to have fun and not take my self too seriously. I love our weird and random conversations that even thinking about them right now still makes me laugh (laughing at the memories right now).
I'm so grateful to have the chance to study at the University of Northampton, its taught me so much and I learnt new things and helped me gain skills in making shoes and accessories which was fun even though at times I didn't really enjoy it, I still appreciate learning new things (thats life for you).

Since it's my last weekend as a student in Northampton, two of my flat mates and myself decided to go into town to get so much needed dinner at Wetherspoons, I ended up getting myself a dessert instead as I ate before making this plan, I had a brownie and ice cream dessert (It was that good I don't remember what its called, apologies) while my flat mates had a Curry and Burger and Chips.
After that lovely meal, we headed of to find the fair that's on in Northampton at the moment. All the rides are a pound each which is great when you're a student and poor (sigh), It was a shame that it shut at ten (pm) which was a real shame because you couldn't stay any later than that and have any fun, but we still managed to squish some fun in the little time we had while everything was closing up.

We ended up going two nights in a row to the fair as my flat mate really wanted to win a tiger which didn't happen due to him losing all 3/4 rounds.

Well Deserve hot chocolate.

After the fair we stopped at ASDA to get some cream and marshmallows to go with our much need Hot Chocolate. 

I had such a great time this weekend with them, it's strange how we all came to university on the same day and now we all leaving at different times and going our separate ways, it's really nice that i'll be keeping in touch with many people and knowing that they'll be coming to visit me in South Essex is great. I just hope I have the best time in South Essex and meet great people like I have here.

I'm ready for a new begging in my life and ready to learn new things and just enjoy life as it comes.
