The Art of Not Knowing

Safe to say it has been a while.

I've been enjoying the highs and lows of life lol.

I have no idea what has inspired this post but here I am.

Its crazy how I started this blog when I was 15 and now I'm 21 and in my penultimate year of university.

Being in my final year puts a lot of pressure on "knowing" what the next stages of my life will be I AM NOT READY.

Like I'm ready to finally leave the education system but I am not ready to walk into adult life :'(

I have barely accepted my age (I was asked how old I was by a shopkeeper today and by default I said "18". I AM 21 YEARS OF AGE)

I digress, in terms of adulting, I take pleasure in not knowing so much that it has actually become my gospel.

I don't know where I am going and I don't want to

But I find in life as an adult that there is so much pressure to 'know' and I hate that

Idk, to me, knowing my next steps forsakes any type of unpredictability. Which may be good for some who desire structure, but for me? Ew

Life is chaos and I thrive in it

I have been labouring under the assumption that things just work themselves out, I have been through so many periods of confusion and no doubt I'll go through more but for right now I want to use what I am writing as therapy and proudly declare:

I do not know where I am going, where life will take me, what I want to do with my future or who I want to be with.

All I truly 'know' is that I want to be happy, healthy, fulfilled and yet also challenged.

Apologies if this post seemed like one of those posts that was horrendously generic trying to disguise itself as deep and thought-provoking.

I am currently just trying to survive heaps of university work and impending graduation.

Pray for my soul.

If you're reading this, I hope you're doing well x

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...

You'll Never Guess What Happened...

I'm literally so excited to share this story with you guys. . I'm back from my 2 week impromptu hiatus! Literally having writers block + mass amounts of homework is a deadly combination but I finally have it all sorted. Now onto my story.. A few weeks ago I was contacted by a lovely woman who works for the company called Miss Nella, who specialise in safe, non toxic peel of nail polish. She told me about their company and that she saw my blog, she asked if I wanted to test some of their nail polishes. I was so shocked Is this real?! Have I actually been asked to sample products?! Who would've thought my blog would actually get noticed by a company?! After pondering a million questions in my head, I eventually got suspicious. Obviously as a naturally suspicious person I thought I was victim to a scam or something so I spent a good 30 minutes eye-balling the emai...
