September Favourites | 2017

Happy October everyone!! It is now officially the month of Halloween so I can watch Halloween movies, which means a watch list will be on the way very soon! But first of all onto my favourites from last month, which is quite small and random for once.

First of all is a book, which I am yet to finish but so far it is brilliant! I bought it for a Spa day I had last Saturday, which was a present for my 18th back in March. The book is one that I found from doing some online browsing on amazon, which I do quite a lot actually... It annoys my mum sometimes as it's her amazon account so she is always getting emails suggesting things she may like from what I've looking at. Oops. The book is called The List by Siobhan Vivian, who I had never heard about before but after reading the blurb I was interested and it seemed different to the books I had read before.

Next is a clothing item, this is super strange but I have fallen in love with an oversized denim jacket that I bought near the end of the summer holidays when I was down in Essex. You may have seen it in my first back to school post of the year, if not here it is. When I first ordered this online it was huge, and not in a good way so I had to send it back. However when I was in Essex we went over to Bluewater and they had a misguided, so of course I tried the next size down on and it was a fit! So of course I had to buy it. To make things better there was still 20% student discount so rather than it being £35 it was £28!

My next favourite is not an item but in fact a person/people, as it is a variety of YouTube videos that are all about University. Since the majority of my friends have in fact moved away to university or still here but at university I thought i'd search the web for video's all about it, as this time next year that will be (we hope). I have come a wide variety of different videos, mainly looking at their university rooms or seeing what their experience has been like so far.  One youtuber I have enjoyed watching for that sort of video(s) is Emily Rose.

Finally onto music favourites and if I'm honest it is just my October playlist which consists of The Sctipts new album, Dua Lipa's new album and some other random songs from R5, dodie, Scouting for Girls, Taylor Swift and Hailee Steinfeld. - September 

I hope you enjoyed this short but sweet favourites for this month! Thank you so much for reading.

Back to School | University of Lincoln Open Day

It is officially that time again for me to start looking at university's, and I am very very excited to start looking around again. When I first started looking at university's I automatically fell in love with Birmingham City University, but after waiting over a year I am beginning to properly look at them.

When I first started looking at Universities I had no idea what sort of campus I wanted to go to, where in the Country and most of all what subject I actually wanted to study. I originally looked at two campus based Universities and 3 city based ones, and realised that a city campus was defiantly for me. I didn't like the idea of being in the middle of nowhere, but for some people that is what they are looking for. For example I have a friend who has just started at Keele University which is basically in the middle of nowhere, but she adores it because she use to live in an area surrounded by fields. On the other hand I have a friend who is now in London at Westminster University and she loves that too because she is right next to the tube so can travel into Central London when ever she wants. It all depends on where you want to go, and where you can picture you're self for the next 3 years of your life.

So far I have booked 3 University open days for the University of Lincoln, Birmingham City University and De Montfort University. Saturday was the open day for Lincoln. My Dad and I spent the majority of the day up there, started off by registering and getting some booklets about the university before meeting my friend for lunch. As she has just started doing Law at Lincoln, so I had a nice catch up with her discussing the university, how she likes Lincoln and generally gossip about life. After having lunch we headed off to a talk about the course I want to do - Criminology. However we were too late, but we got to speak to another professor who teaches the degree along with a 3rd year Criminology student at the University. Therefore not only did I get to talk about the course, with a student I got to learn about the University and City from a students point of view which was wonderful.

After that we just decided to look around the city, did a little bit of shopping before walking up to the Cathedral. However I have decided if I chose to go to this University I will only be going back up 'steep hill' when family members are visiting or a need to go to a shop up there - only if its an emergency though!

Saturday was also Pride in Lincoln, so we got to witness the parade walking past us whilst eating lunch and seeing everyone dressed up for the occasion - was very pretty.

Thank you again for reading and I hope you enjoyed this post.

Back to School | My First Day

A week late but it is finally here... My first back to school post for the year along with a line up of great posts this week. My first week back was a little bit chaotic but I believe I am back into the swing of everything which is wonderful.

Tuesday was my first day back and was I prepared for everything? No I defiantly was not but I was prepared for the lesson I had that day as I got no work for Psychology - all my summer work was Geography. My Tuesdays don't start until 12:30 too which is wonderful apart from the fact i had to go in and register this morning which meant waking up at 6:30 but hopefully soon that won't be too much of a problem for me - I won't get into that now as I want to do a aims / objectives post for this school year as it is my final year at Sixth Form.
