Life's A Climb

Image
Have you ever hit rock bottom? I have. A few times. It sucks because you feel like the world is against you and that you're always feeling rejected, lonely, unhappy. That nothing will ever go right for you. Well, I'm here to tell you that there is a way out. It may take some time, but you'll get there eventually.  After spending months dealing with job rejection, heartbreak, and loneliness. I kind of thought things will never get better. I thought nobody will ever hire me and I'd be unemployed. I also thought I was never going to find a man and be with someone. Well, I'm now employed and seeing someone so I can tell you that things are looking up for me as they will for you. Yes, life is very hard sometimes and you're going to hit a lot of bumps in the road.  One song that I do enjoy listening to is Miley Cyrus' song The Climb because it is a very motivational song. There will be always another mountain and you will always want to make it move but it won...

10 Things I Learned From University

Image
From going to university twice, one of those times being during the pandemic, I think I've learned a few things from the whole experience and thought why not share them with you especially if you're considering going to university or are at university who may just need a little help. Here are 10 things I have learned from university.  1. You can't be friends with everyone You may find during Fresher's week that you meet a lot of people. In my first year, I met half of my hall and we spent a lot of Fresher's week together. It was a great time. I thought I'd made so many friends in the first week and we'd be friends for life. Nope. After Fresher's week and the lectures begin, you may find you don't see as many people as you did on Fresher's week and you may find yourself not speaking to most of the people. Of course there will be those few you speak with and if I was you, I would stick with those because they can become some good friends. Don't...

Is It Too Early For Christmas?

Image
It is November. Halloween has been and gone. Bonfire night is tomorrow for us in the UK. I don't know if anyone else celebrates bonfire night in other countries but it's where the whole of the UK sets off fireworks. I'm working tomorrow but I'm going out in the evening to watch the fireworks with my mum and her friend. Although this post isn't about fireworks. I wanted to write about Christmas.  You've probably noticed that Christmas stock has come out in shops and most likely came out way back in August and September. I feel like we all have this same debate of whether it's too early for Christmas. To be honest with you, I feel like there is no right or wrong answer. Unless you're thinking about Christmas in the middle of Spring or Summer then that might be a little too early. Some people even think November is too early to think about Christmas but in a way, it kind of makes sense because when Halloween and bonfire night are over with than Christmas is...

My Happy Place

Image
We all have a happy place. A place that's brings us joy. It could be anywhere from your home to a city to a place that brings fond memories back. Perhaps it a place you feel relaxed or comforted. A place you go to when you're feeling sad. Your own little sanctuary.  For me, my happy place is my bedroom. That may seem silly to some, but some others may be able to relate.  In my lifetime, I've lived at eight addresses which in total means eight bedrooms. Although technically it could be nine bedrooms because I moved into my older brother's bigger room when he moved out. Either way a bedroom is a bedroom. It's just my own little sanctuary. Making your bedroom your own is very important. For me I can't stand bare walls in my bedroom. I don't know why but it just makes me feel weird. That's why I have posters in my bedroom. Now this may seem like a teenager thing but really posters have no age limit and to be honest when you live in rented accommodation and c...

Dos & Don'ts For Online Dating

Image
Life is most certainly not a fairy tale and if you're hoping to meet your soulmate with love at first sight then I'm sorry to say that you're going to be waiting a very long time. The world has changed a lot and it's becoming more difficult to meet people face to face. Especially after this whole pandemic. That's why you're more likely to meet the love of your life through online dating. Now this can be scary for many especially with the whole stranger danger concept.  Being single for the longest time, I was not sure about online dating. Especially because with apps like Tinder usually people are on there for one thing only and nothing serious. It's a struggle but sometimes you got to give a try because your future partner could be on there. From my experience of online dating and recently going back to online dating, I thought I'd share a list of some points that you may need to consider when going into online dating.  Please note this post may not be ...

My Favourite Movie

Image
As someone who just loves watching movies and going to the cinema. How can you not like watching a movie? No matter how many movies you go and see there's always one that you'd happily watch over and over again. Now I'm going to talk about one movie because back in 2017 I made a post of my top ten favourite movies and looking back on it those are still my top ten movies but perhaps this one may knock off the top spot of that list. So what is my favourite movie you may be wondering after reading this paragraph? Well if you have been on my Instagram stories you may hazard a guess that one particular movie that came out this year, I fell in love with the first time I saw it in the cinema that guess what I saw another time in the cinema before instantly buying it on Amazon Prime again because I loved it so much and have watched it many times at home which makes the purchase well worth it. Any ideas?  Okay fine, I'll just say it:  It is Cruella.  Oh my, I absolutely love thi...
