Life Update - I Start Collage Tomorrow! (Some changes being made. - Please Read!!!)

Very quick blog post


Hello everyone!

So tomorrow I will be starting collage (UK collage, not american. Basically I will be in Year 12/11th grade.) I will be study BTEC Level 2 in Creative Media Studies, and I will be re-taking my Maths GCSE, as I didn't get a C or above in Maths.

As I will be starting collage, their will be changes to how often I can post. I don't know yet how busy collage will make me, how many deadlines that I have est, est. I have only been able to post a lot since the start of this blog, as I was on a 3 mouth holiday, after I had finished school and my GCSE's.

Anyway (getting to the point) for now, I will be posting from now on a least twice a week (I will try! And if I have the time or I'm not that busy, there will be more posts then 2.)

Andddd, as I won't be posting a lot, I have decided to make the blog posts that I make a lot longer, then what they are now. Their will still be some posts that are short like Brain Dumps, for example, as they are meant to be short and week.

I will also be starting a new type of blog post, where I talk about how collage is going, how I'm handling it, advice for people who will be starting collage new year, talking about a course, est, est. Basically, A Brain Dump about collage life. This will be a weekly post


Overview of changes

• Less blog posts per week (at least 2 blog posts, maybe more if I have time.)
• Much longer blog posts (as I will be posting less.)
• Some blog posts will stay short (like Brain Dumps
• A new type of blog post where I talk collage life (weekly post)

So yeah, that's it really. It's really hard for me to make changes to this blog. Bit sad really, but you know, needs must, and "There's nothing wrong with a change!"

If you are not very keen on the new post, then it's fine! I will still be doing my normal posts that I'm making now!

Hopefully I can blog tomorrow, If I can then I will be telling you all about my first day.

Bye guys!!!!

Just Me - August Favorites

(I'm a day late, but whatever!)

Hello everyone!

Another mouth has come and gone! Summer is now officially over :/. This year's summer in Britain has been kinda shit, but not completely shit. At least there have been some sunny days! The start of September means that school is nigh, which is going to suck for those who are still in school. I, thankfully don't have to go back to that hellhole this year, as I'm starting collage on Thursday! (Their will be a blog post talking about to tomorrow, as well as the changes that will be made. But don't worry! I still will be posting! It just may not be as often as it is now.)

But anyway, I hope you all had a great August, and I hope that September is just as good for you! I'm now going to get to the point of this blog post and get to my August Favorites!

To see last mouth's favorites click here.

Here is my August Favorites!


1. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn


I have heard a lot of good things about Gone Girl, both the book and the movie. But to be completely honest, I was never going to bovver to read the book or see the movie, as it didn't seem like my kind of thing. One day when I was looking in a charity shop, I seen the book, for only 50p. For 50p I just though "Why Not?" I'm just going to say now, that I don't really read a lot, I just tend to give up and get bored, but not with this book. I'm slowing making my way through the book (I'm on page 72 of 463), from what I have read so far, It's very good! I'm not going to spoil it for you, but it seems very "mind-fucky" so far.




2.  Tie Dye T-shirt

So, as I will be starting collage soon, I decided to get new clothes (I really need some new clothes!!) So while walking past New Look, I seen that they had a big summer sale. I never really buy anything in New Look, but I thought that I might as well seeing as their was a sale on. And while I just looking through the sales rail of clothing, I seen this shirt. I really liked the shirt, but at first I was unsure on if I wanted to buy it, I just only £8, really good price! But I just left it and did the rest of my shopping in town. On the way back to the car, I was just like "Fuck It, I want that shirt". So I went back into New Look and brought it. I love it! My only problem now is that summer is over, and I don't think that I could "pull-off" the tie dye look in winter :( I will fucking try though, don't you worry! :)

If you are interested in this T-shirt, New Look still have some in stock for £8! But only in Small. Click here for the link!

3. Mp3Tag

This is a really random thing to put on a favorites list, but whatever.


I decided to sort out all of my music in August, do a bit of spring cleaning with it I guess, mainly because I have songs with crappy LQ cover art, as well as names that are not in all caps, which really annoys me. I had to go though all 6000 and something songs, and this program really helped so thanks Mp3Tag lol.




4. Wilko's Spotless Daily Exfoliating Wash

I had seen a friend using this product before, she said that it was really good, and worked for her spots so I though't that I would pick it up, It was only £2! I just want to say now, that I'm not like really spotty of anything, I just get the random spot pop up on my face. But anyway, this facewash is very good, and It works for me as well! Very good for £2, and they have other products in the range that I will probably pick up soon, to see if they are good like this product.







So yeah, that's all of my favorite things this mouth, I feel like I didn't really pick a lot, but oh well.

Life update thingy coming tomorrow!

Just Me - The Bucket List

Hello everyone!

So I don't know if you can remember, but last mouth, I did a blog post called "The Anti-Bucket List" (which you can read here.) Where I wrote about all the things that I hope never happen in my life. Today I thought that I would write my bucket list, which things that I want to do before I die (even though I said I wasn't going to write this. Oh well.) My only ask is that you take into mind, that this is personal to me, so please don't get judgmental about it please! Thank you! Some of the things on this list may be odd or strange to you, but oh well.

So here is my bucket list!

My bucket list

1. Visit Paris.

I have always loved Paris, I love the overall look of Paris. To me Paris has this rather unique, romantic charm. There has been various movies or TV show episodes set in Paris, that are so romantic (An American In Paris, Funny Face & SATC: An American Girl In Paris Part Une & Part Deux.) This sounds very corny but, I would love if something like that happened to me in Paris. I also love the building in Paris, there are so many landmarks in Paris, like The Eiffel Tower, The Louvre, The Catacombs Of Paris and so many more. I have never been to Paris, but I would love to go!

2. Learn a second language.

Probably French (as I want to go to Paris, Durr!)

3. Get Married.

Later in my life, I would like to settle down with somebody. But not just anybody. They have to be somebody that I want to spend every single day of the rest of my life with, until I die. Anyway most people want this in life. But not just yet. Let me enjoy myself while I'm young!

4. Become famous (for anything!)

Ideally a singer. I will be the next Mariah!

Probably not, as I sound like a dying cat when I sing lol. Oh well, I just really like the glamorous aspect of being a singer, and the fact that you can put on this really elaborate concerts for people and they will actually want to come to see you sing live! 

5. Let somebody know how much they mean to me.

Actually already done this! But yeah, I just think that It's nice to let the people close to you know how much you appreciate and love them. 

6. Do a good deed without getting anything back.

I would love to give something in need something, just to hear there thanks and appreciation, knowing that you will not get anything back. I just think that it's a really nice thing to do.

7. See the Northern Lights.

They just look so beautiful, It's a excellent display of the beauty of nature. To me the Northern Lights look so magnificent!

8. Learn to play a musical instrument.

I would love to be able to play the piano or the guitar, I would love to be able to play one of my favorite songs on one of them!

9. Go to New York.

I love TV shows like Sex And The City and Friends. I would love to be able to go locations where they were filmed. I would also love to go to all of the New York landmarks, like The Statue Of Liberty, The Empire State Building. I would also like to go to the 9/11 Memorial, to play my respect to all of the people who lost there life's on that tragic day.

10. Get my dream job.

My dream job is to be able to work in the media (TV.) I think that I would feel like I have finally made it in life when this happens, As it is my dream to be able to work in the TV or other forms of media.

So yeah! That was my bucket list, I hope that you liked it!

Bye!

Just Me - 30 Lessons I Have Learned From Secondary School

Hello everyone!

So, as I have now finished secondary school (high school) and been enjoying a extended summer holiday for the past 8 weeks, I though't that I would share with you what I have learned from secondary school. I'm also doing this as school as came into my mind again, as I have to pick up my GCSE results in 2 weeks time!

Anyway here is 30 lessons that I have learned from secondary school.

1. Never let somebody borrow your pens/pencils. Even if they are the nicest person in the world, they probably won't give it back to you.

2. No matter how much pens you have, you will lose them all within a week. Same with the rest of your stationary.

3. People are assholes.

4. You will most likely be criticized if your different in anyway. It's funny, that in 2015, people still criticize people who are different. If you dress in a different way, or like different things, you will be criticized for it.

5. If a teacher say's a piece of homework can't be done in one night. They are lying. Anything can been done in one night.

6. Got a 500 word essay to write? It can be done in one night. It will be shit, but it can be done in a night.

7. Revision is rather pointless. It just goes through one ear and out of the other.

8. Every day dragggggggggggggggs on while a school.

9. If you hate school, like me, you will probably be counting down the days until you have a holiday or until you leave for good. 192 days, 191 days, 190 days, and so on.

10. Food from school canteens are:

1. Shit.

2. Overpriced.

11. At lot of the stuff teachers banged on about, was never important, and will never be in my later life.

You don't know how to do your taxes? Well at least you Pythagoras theorem. You use that skill ALL THE TIME, right?

12. School's need to teach more important stuff, such as buying a house/car, taxes and how banks work. Not pointless stuff that "you need to know when your doing _____ or _____."

13. Did I mention that people are assholes?

14. While at school, a minute feels like a hour. A hour feels like a Day, and a day feels like a year.

15. Music like really helps to speed the day along.

16. Doodling in books helps to.

17. A lot of teachers are assholes as well.

18. In 2015 there are still clique's. It's not as defined but it's still there.
Here are some of the clique's at my old school.

• The Hipsters. They love Festivals, alcohol, alternative music, cigarettes, drugs, weird clothing that make's them look like there grandparents and posh boys/girls.
• The Sluts. They love dick. 
• The Man-whores. They love pussy and tits. They also love to talk about all 52 2 people they have had sex with. 
• The Chavs. They love smoking, drugs and pissing of teachers. They will be going far in life, with there BTEC Level 1's in hairdressing and pluming. 
• The Nerds. They love school, sucking up to teachers and nerdy things. 
• People in smaller groups: they like not even worth talking about, they are like nobodys!!!11111
• And finally. People with no groups. Good for you! You like doing your own thing.

Before people ask, I was not in any group. Also no group was ever like the plastics of anything. 

19. Energy drinks will get you through any day. 

20. 99% of people didn't listen in sex education. As clearly shown when somebody gets chlamydia or gets pregnant at 16. #ilistenedinsexed

21. You will forget every single thing your learned in school as soon as you leave.

"Hitler? Like who even."

22. Once you leave school, you will stop talking to people who were your friends. Sad but true.

23. When not paying attention to a teacher, and they decide ask you a question, as they know you not paying attention. Just say that your can't remember the answer or just guess. 

24. You heart beats like a million beats a second when somebody asks:

"Did you do the homework?"

Me: What. 

What Homework. 

"It was set last mouth."

Me: 

25. This. So true it hurts.

26. Sometimes, when the day was just insufferable, I would think: "Maybe if I bang my head hard enough on this desk, I could knock myself out."

27. People are annoying.

"You saw your friend yeasterday, stop fucking screaming."

"OMG move!"

"You walk so slowwwwwwwww."

28. Me when I had enough of the annoying peoples bs.

29.  Monday to Friday = drags on and are so slow. Saturday and Sunday = goes so fast.

Like what even. 

I demand to speak to the professor of life. EXPLAIN THIS TO ME!

30. What ever stuff your going through while at school...

...It will all be alright in the end, trust me. And if you can't wait to leave, keep counting down the days, I will come soon! :)

So there you go! I hope you enjoyed this post. If I have overused GIFS, I'm sorry!

Byeeeeeeeee!

Just Me - Brain Dump #2

Hello everyone!

Happy August! I hope that your mouth is going well so far.

As (again), I don't really have anything to post, I thought that I would do another Brain Dump today. As I enjoyed the last post, as I liked just offloading all on my thoughts and feelings into a blog post.

So anyway, here is my second Brain Dump!

• My best friend has gone on holiday for a week. So I have had nothing to do. Like at all. It really sucks.
• I've found out when I have to enroll into Collage. August 21st. The day after results day.
• Talking about results day, that's this mouth. I think that I'm really screwed. But I did try my best, and that is all that matters right? As long as I get good grades in English and Maths I'll be alright.
• I've sorted out all of my clothes, and gotten rid of all of the stuff that I don't wear. My wardrobe is the cleanest It's ever been, I will most likely last of a couple of day. Then get real messy again.
• Rain B-roll leaked. Again, this was another really big treat.

Tbh, the only other things that I have been doing is watching Netflix and listening to music

***Shameless attempt at getting friends lol***
If you wanna see what I have been listening to vist my last.fm profile which you can find here.

So that's all really. I hope you enjoyed this Brain Dump!

Byeee!

Just Me - July Favorites

Hello everyone!

As July is about to end, I thought that I would share my favorite things from this mouth. So enjoy!

1. Grace & Frankie

So, I discovered Grace & Frankie while going though Netflix trying to find something to watch. Do you ever do this when your trying to find something desperately good to watch? Me too, but I normally just give up and find a movie that I have seen a billion and one times.

Anyway, after I watched the first episode of Grace & Frankie I was hooked! I watched it all in 2 days. The series is extremely funny, It's unique as well. No story like it has been in other shows. I cannot wait for series 2! 

If you want to know what Grace & Frankie is about, here is a summary that I'd stolen borrowed from Google: "For as long as they can recall, Grace and Frankie have been rivals. Their one-upmanship comes crashing to a halt, however, when they learn that their husbands have fallen in love with each other and want to get married. As everything around the ladies is coming apart, the only thing they can really rely on is each other. "

And because I'm really nice, here is the trailer!

2. Slushies 

So, as you are properly well aware if you live in the UK that there was a heatwave in the UK. And July has been really hot everyday. A local shop near to me started selling slushies and it has been a lifesaver. 

They taste really nice and they are a good treat to cool yourself down with!









3. Samsung slim external DVD drive

As you know if you read my blog post from a couple of days ago my DVD drive in my laptop broke. I order this of Amazon, for something like £16.99 and I works perfectly! Thank god for Amazon right?






4. Spooks 
This is another Netflix find! I never watched the series before, but I remember playing a really good online spooks game when I first got Internet back in 2006. Sadly I don't think the game is there anymore.

Anyway Spooks is about people who work for MI5. Trying to save the country from all kinds of threats. This is basically a British rip-of of 24. Expect that Spooks started development before 24. 

Here is another borrowed summary from Google: "A team of agents in the British security intelligence service work to protect the UK from terrorists and other threats to national security. Harry Pearce, head of MI-5's counterterrorism section based in the highly secure suite of offices called The Grid, oversees them and deals with the often dirty politics of the spy game."





So there was my favorites for this mouth. I hope you enjoyed it!

I shall see you tomorrow in August.

Byeee!

Dealing with negativity and balls*it

Just a quick blog post today!

So I thought that it would be a nice idea to create (another) list today. I think that of late I have like this odd obsession with lists. I promise I will stop!

Anyway I thought that it would be a good idea to create a list of how to deal with negative ballshit

1. Tell then to go fuck themselves. This almost always works.

2. Pretend like you don't even care. (Even if you do)

3. Get backup from your best friends, to normaly works too

4. If your in school. Tell a teacher or something. I know it's will feel like your making it worse, but you won't. Trust me.

Told you it will be a quick post!

Byeeee!

10 Tips For Handing Summer

Hello everyone!

So from my post yesterday you could properly tell that I couldn't handle the heat. As it is still hot today (and I have nothing to post) I will give you 10 tips to handling summer. A lot of these are obvious, but I really don't care.

1. Wear loose fitting clothes, like shorts and a t-shirt.

2. Drink a lot of water to cool you down.

3. Use some sun screen to protect yourself from getting burnt in the sun.

4. If you house becomes hot, get a fan to cool your house down.

5. Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes from the sun.

6. Wear a hat, to keep you cool.

7. Never use ice to cool down your private area (you will regret it, trust me!)

8. You will be sweating most likely, so wear black and white shirts to hide it!

9. Don't stay in the sun for too long, you will get burnt.

10. Don't take cold showers, you will most likely regret it.

So there you are! I hope you enjoyed my 10 tips for summer, tips that are so fucking obvious.

I promise that better content will come tomorrow.

Bye!!
