What I've Learnt About Doing GCSE's...


Guess who's back?
MEEEEEEEE
Yeah sorry I've been absent for a while, GCSE's started a while back so I've been spending a long while trying to locate a cave I can live in for the next fifty years.

Jokes, whilst being fully submerged in these exams I discovered something...

They're actually not that bad
Obviously the non stop revision is a pain but they really are just like doing mock exams, I try not to remind myself how super duper important they are because that'll just stress me out.
Unfortunately I don't have any "amazing" exam tips to help stress because I just don't believe in them to be honest. I see tips all the time such as "During the exam, take a deep breath" but if I'm freaking out, I'm freaking out! Nothing will stop it!

All I can say to my fellow exam takers is: be strategic, do past papers! They really help, most of the time questions similar to those on the past papers are put on the real exam anyways and also look at the mark schemes so you can get a taste of what the examiner is looking for when they are marking your exam.
Remember: Fail to prepare, prepare to fail
The other day I nearly had a breakdown because I'm pretty sure I flopped my first English literature exam and that could jeopardize my chance of passing but I guess I'll have to wait till results day to see my fate.
Hopefully I did okay.

I had prom by the way!
It was better than I expected!
Even though my dress took way too long to make (I picked it up, on the day of prom!) and the food was kind of gross and everyone's shoes kept being caught on my dress, it wasn't that bad! 
I really wish I could do it again!

My love life is currently in shambles, I did go and see the guy I like and I do have a form of chemistry with him but I don't know.. I kind of expected that one meetup to end up with me and the guy forming a relationship because I don't seem to be entirely stuck in the friendzone but he doesn't  text very often and that leaves me confused but too afraid to question them on it and since the guy rarely responds anyway I'm just trying to find a way to move on from him since he clearly isn't very interested (on text anyways, he's very different in real life)
Maybe in order to find love, I should just stop searching but that is extremely hard.

I also just celebrated my birthday! I didn't do anything special, like literally I just stayed in bed in my pjs because I was too lazy to go outside, I didn't even get a cake because gosh I'm lazy. I'm 16 now even though I don't feel like it at all but at least I can start working so I can make money.

For my birthday I got a phone, its the Gold Samsung Galaxy J5 and its bloomin' huge!
I'm really enjoying the snapchat face filters that weren't on my old s3 mini.

Anyways yeah...I know this post isn't super long but I just wanted to put up something instead of being absent for 2 months, it was kind of meant to be an update type thingy and I only have 8 exams left so then I can start posting more regularly.

Thanks for reading and good luck if you have any exams!

My Thoughts On Going Back To School

So I was inspired by a girl named Izzy to talk about my thoughts on going back to school and I thought it was a great idea! I personally have an extremely strong opinion on school so when I talk about it I speak with 0 filter. I hate school with a fiery passion. (See, I do not sugar coat my hatred) I hate the teachers. I hate the homework. I hate the learning. And I sure as hell hate the horrendous uniform. Seeing my friends is the only thing that convinces me to get up at 6:45 every morning and attend. ..Well that and the occasional bake sales.. Luckily enough I live in the Uk so I don't start school till September the 4th (On a Thursday) But I have so many assignments I haven't completed yet. I even have a Food Technology assignment where I have to bake 5 things and take a picture of them and send them to my teacher. Yeah.. like that's happening I'll probably just steal some from a cooking website. ..Wow I'm just the perfect

Why I'm Envious Of Americans

So as some of you may know, I went back to school.. -.- I absolutely hate it and I've only been back for 2 days *sigh* Since this is a pretty important year I'll probably have to stick to posting once a week by completing posts and uploading them on the weekend.  Although whenever I get holidays I will vow to post as much as I can without getting annoying. Now in case you're wondering: Why not complete multiple posts on the weekends and save them as drafts? I wanted to but I realised its better to wait a few days so fresh ideas can come out then type loads of boring rambly ideas in an hour. Hope you understand where I'm coming from :) Anyways lets get onto what I'm supposed to be talking about shall we? At first I was going to talk about answers to questions people have for British people since I'm British but instead I thought It would be better to talk about my envy for Americans Trust me, this is not as serious/evil as it sou

So My Prom Is Next Year...

So recently I done a collab with Caroline Reinhart and we both talked about Prom, you can check out my post here: http://www.emojicorn.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/guest-post-my-first-prom-experience-by.html The thing is, I happily made that post knowing I would not have prom for at least another 2 years. Yeah.. my prom is in 8 months. 8 Months You may be wondering, prom is fun, what's bad about that? Back in primary school it would've been fun but not now, definitely not. I'm not sure why I feel this way but I just really don't want a prom, the stress of trying to look good with probably land me in hospital and my school severely lacks the 'Troy And Gabriella Romance' it so desperately needs. I mean seriously there's more romance between me and my phone than there is in the school, and that's saying something. I'm probably just going to buy a cheap dress from Primark, literally no one cares what you look like and I re
