A Teenager Stepping Into Adulthood
Day Two of New York and I was still adjusting to the new surroundings and the time zone. When I woke at six a.m., my body was still telling me it was eleven a.m. I found it difficult to get back to sleep that morning. The day was just as exciting as the first. We …
Hello from New York city! I'm having a wonderful time here in the land of the Big Apple. We've done so much over the past few days but here is what we did on the Tuesday (technically the first day, post travelling). As I mentioned in a previous blog post, I haven't flown since I …
Christmas is my favourite time of the year and is the one time where my true tackiness shines through, whether it's ugly Christmas jumpers, decorating my room with as many lights as possible or going over the top with Christmas shopping.

After a lot of procrastination, staring at computer screens and reading until I had headaches, all my assignments for semester one were officially all submitted on Tuesday evening. It was tough to say the least. At one point I thought I'd never finish on time with the amount of time-consuming referencing I had to do …

It's Saturday afternoon, and after coming back home from spending time with family, Chantal and I are greeted with two beautiful (and tiny) nine week old guinea pigs.

As I've said in previous blog posts, I like to experiment with different genres of posts. From reviews, to day-in-the-life, I like to explore different styles and discover what I enjoy writing about the most. Today's post is food. I love to cook. I find it extremely therapeutic and just fun. One of my favourite …
When I woke up this morning, it wasn't until I saw the pink balloon with the number '18’ hanging on my door when I remembered that I am eighteen. It was my birthday yesterday and the fact that I'm an adult, still hasn't quite sunken in yet. All day I was in denial. When someone …

It's Thursday, 16th August 2018. For any A-Level college/sixth form student, everyone knows what today is. My phone buzzes with its tinkling tune, letting me know it's 7:30 and time to wake up. Switching off my alarm my stomach churns as I remember that today is the day. The day I've been waiting for since …
