Liyahs World

This post is pretty cathartic to write. So this idea came to me whilst I was in bed just about to fall asleep, as most ideas do. I was reflecting on all the bad traits I have and what I could do to overcome them. (I'm self-reflective as hell these days cause I got an amazing new book - called "Don't sweat the small stuff and its all small stuff")  So I decided it would be pretty interesting (&therapeutic) to list my bad qualities in the hopes that someone can relate and say "omg im like that too" so I don't feel like total trash :). Lets begin! #1 My Patience I have none, point blank. Like if I'm in a slow moving line I literally have to do breathing exercises so I don't explode.  I really need to work on this because its becoming ridiculous, like even if someone is telling me a story and the story is annoyingly long ill start getting frustrated or if I'm on a bus and a someone is taking too long to pay and get th...

Well this is going to be a story.. Hey, welcome to storytime with me, Liyah. So basically the week of A-level results day was....something. Spoiler Alert: I got into university. But. It was my insurance choice which is a foundation year for History. My first choice was ancient history, but now I have to do a year of learning skills and stuff and then I can take ancient history next year. Technically I should be saying "YAY I GOT INTO UNI" But I was slightly disappointed but I'm trying to look at the bright side. For my college, results day was super emotional, people didn't get the results they anticipated so many were crying and many were on the phone with clearing hotlines. The whole vibe was just, melancholic. So either it was just a bad year for results or all those articles with students jumping up and down with their results is a fat LIE. I spoke to clearing at one point seeing if my university would make any leniency for my ancient ...

This idea is probably not original but it came to me whilst I was on Instagram, idk why I thought it'd be pretty fun to do a post idea listing the things I've never experienced in my 18 years of living! So lets begin: #1 Never been to a concert Yeah this hits close to home cause I've always wanted to go to one but I'm so paranoid someone's going to rob me because after all, you are stood around a huge amount of people.  Another reason I've never been to one is cause I've never really fangirled over anyone so much that I would be willing to spend huge amounts of money. But at this moment in time, I'd be very willing to see Kehlani in concert, she's my queen. #2 Never had a sibling Yup, (L)on(e)ly child right here #3 Never broken a bone ...but lets like try and jinx that. #4 Never had acne Yeah I have horrendously dry skin, in fact, a dry body. Dry eyes, dry scalp, eczema etc. Not fun. It also means I've never ex...

Hey Guys, These past few months have been super hectic and I'm finally back and in the process of writing three posts. I really have no excuse for being gone so long, it was really a compilation of revision, loss of motivation and my brain has just been in a state of 'hfeoighoijjrjgrjgeijfe', a lot of mood swings and sad thoughts. Life of a teenager. But I'm finally in a good-ish place. Trying to enjoy my summer with £1.60 in my bank account :))) But my summer "glow-up" is underway, I have a lot of new clothes on the way and colourpop, I may even do a review of the products I received, if its something any of you readers want. Anyways I thought it'd be fun to talk about some of the truths I've realised about A-levels, extremely subjective, just some things ive noticed and maybe any of you that just did A-levels can relate to! Lets begin! #1 exams aren’t the worst part, results day is (unless you’re certain you’ve passed) ...

Hey, Happy New Year Guys! (Yeah I'm kinda late, shut up) I'm hoping you all had eventful holidays, I sure didn't!  Typical, although I did go to one family Christmas party which was pretty fun, ended up puking into my own purse because yes, I am that classy. But besides that, I thought it'd be cool to keep you guys in the loop about some cool stuff that has happened!  Updates -  I got a new phone! Finally, I saved up enough for an iPhone 6s Plus, Rose Gold, 128gb - this is a massive upgrade from my Samsung, also my first iPhone ever and they're awesome, I'm officially an iPhone person now. I've had it for about 2 and a half months now and its amazing. I have braces now!, Getting them tightened in 5 days and they have been annoying but eventually you sorta get used to them. I got four offers from Universities, if I get the grades I'll be going to university in September to study Ancient History! I got obsessed with the show ...

Hey Guys, I am not sure if this is meant to be a serious post or not? Only a little. I'm not making this post so you guys can relate because you probably wont but it's interesting to talk about&explain. So I have this weird phobia that no one I know really understands and that is, Google Earth And I probably sound like I'm joking but I am deadly serious I have a phobia of Google Earth I don't really know why or how I got this phobia because it's super irrational but I'll try and detail exactly what part I'm afraid of and how I knew of its existence. So like, a year ago I went on google maps, just casually exploring countries to compensate for my lack of going outside-ness and then since I wanted to see just how big the country I was in was, I zoomed out, and out and out. And I just kept going until- WOAH TOO FAR  I COULD LITERALLY SEE THE WHOLE EARTH AND THE DEEP ABYSS OF SPACE AND THE AWFUL, GROSS TERRAIN OF THE ...

So, thankfully I had a commenter who submitted an idea on what they'd like to see so now its time to produce! It was a list of four ideas and I chose, what I thought would be the most fun to type first, a day in my life. Initially I was planning on doing a day during the week when I was in college but I thought it'd be a bit boring and repetitive so I decided to choose Tuesday , the 24th of October. (I'm on half term, it's super boring but meh.) I'll go by the hour to make it more interesting. (Fact: you'll realise how dull my days are) 8:00 - zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz- 9:00 I wake up, groggy and miserable because I've gotten like 7 hours of sleep, I go to the bathroom and then return to bed, trying to sleep some more but I fail 10:00 Still awake& annoyed so I put the Fresh Prince of Bel Air on in the background because noise helps me sleep (idk why). 25 minutes later I'm still awake and grumpy. 11:00 Finally I say "forg...
