I wanted to catch you guys up on what has been happening in my list recently and in the process of going to University, as well as random things in my life and my summer bucket list!

LIFE UPDATES:
- Back in November, I set off my UCAS application and if I am honest I did not expect to hear back from the Universities within a week let alone a day. I remember the exact moment when I received my first offer because it was in the middle of my Friday morning double geography lesson. I looked down at my phone to see the email and was like "no way that cannot be true" and my friends just looked at me and said, "you got an unconditional offer, that's amazing?". For weeks I didn't think it was true, I was very calm about the whole thing even when people congratulated me.
- On the 20th of December, to be exact, my firm choice was confirmed and I was officially going to be studying Criminology at DeMontfort University starting on 1st October 2018!
- In February, Mum and I took our first trip to Europe together - Amsterdam. We also started planning our next trips together, consisting of Rome, Paris, Barcelona and New York - but that will be to celebrate Mum's 50th.
- I turned 19 in March!
- Finally to recent weeks - I finished my A-levels, psychology and geography, and officially left sixth form forever! At first, it scared me a little because I have been in the same place for 8 years, I felt safe there. However, now I have a long break before my next adventure - University.
- The day after my exams ended my friend, Rebecca, and I made a trip down the road to go and get my nail's done, do a little shopping and have some lunch. We found the cutest little 'tearoom' that was very reasonably priced and the food was amazing!! We decided to share our first freak-shake, which was a Nutella one.
- Love Island started about 2 and half weeks ago, and we, of course, the entire UK were inside their house and on the sofa at 9pm at night tuning into itv2. I have been a little behind but I spent Thursday afternoon catching-up and honestly it is brilliant! I adore this show, however, I do not think it is as good as last year and lots of people have been saying that this is 'the worst year yet'. Honestly, I am just here for Jack and Dani (who I watched in survival of the fittest earlier in the year) and Alex who I want to find love ASAP. - if you do not watch it or aren't from the UK then you are honestly missing out.
- I finished my book, Finding Aubrey (4/5 stars), in May and haven't really picked up another book since because I had been struggling to find time to read and hadn't found a book I really wanted to read. I have been creating many lists on Amazon full of books for me to order for my holiday, which is 5 weeks on Saturday! | buy it on amazon
- Back in April I watched a tv show called American Crime story: The people vs O.J Simpson and became OBSESSED with everything and anything about it. I even watched a documentary about Robert Kardashian's influence on the case, it was so interesting to watch and brilliant because the tv show was based obviously based on a real-life event - Robert Kardashian was played by David Schwimmer...
- My playlist for this month has been on 24/7 for me, helping me through m revision and putting me in a brilliant mood. It mainly consists of Shawn Mendes as he released his new album and I am OBSESSED with it - 10/10 recommend. There is also Alessia Cara's new song, which was worth the wait!
MY SUMMER BUCKET LIST:
- Read 3 books or maybe more.
- Pass my theory test - my driving has been put on hold since December 2017, so my passing my theory is my main focus currently
- To get another tattoo - hehe yes I got one last June but you will see it soon, maybe ...
- Try out yoga
- Eat a lot healthier
- Go to the gym at least 5 times a week
- Watch a lot of new tv shows - I created a list throughout the exam process, and it got very long but I am very excited to watch them all.
What are your plans for the summer?
If anyone else had exams, I hope they went well but now we can all relax and have a nice long summer before the next chapter in our life or maybe the same thing. Either way, I hope you all have a lovely summer and I will be back with a new post every Saturday from now on!
