May Aims

So hi...

So er, I'm a little late with this post. BUT I do have a good-ish reason, my Wifi went ka-put at the beginning of the month and I've had no Wifi at my flat for the last few days, it’s been weird and all kinds of boring yet productive at the same time. But my FOMO was definitely through the roof which really sucked. ANYWAY, New month new goals, kinda. Let’s get on with it.

Eat well and Exercise: So I mentioned going to the gym with my flatmate before, and well it just hasn’t been happening, so that was a fail. I'm starting to think I might brave going alone, as I'm often awake in the middle of the night these days and a little gym visit may do me good to tire me out enough to sleep and get some exercise in. Don’t get me wrong I have been exercising, but not nearly as much as I’d like.

Revise fortnightly if not daily: As much as I would like to believe in myself to revise daily, I'm being realistic with myself to know that probably won’t happen. But I think I could definitely get myself to revise at least every other day. Exams for my second year at Uni are literally round the corner and I need to get my butt in gear.

Listen or read the morning news: I really made the efforts to read and listen to the news more often a few months back, but I have kind of fallen out of the habit and I’d like to get back into it, It’s nice to just know what’s going on in the world and it’s interesting to.

Continue Streaming: So I've been live streaming on a site called twitch. I'm planning a separate post to really explain it but it’s been a ton of fun. The community and friendships I've built on twitch have been amazing and I enjoy streaming so much. Even if I'm just a little bit rubbish at it. I mean I can only go up right?

Continuing learning and developing my art: I've really been pushing my art out in April, a cause of this has definitely been the live streaming but I feel like I'm getting more ideas and itching to draw more often and it’s amazing to look back at pieces and already feel myself progressing. I'm also learning more and more about how to get the most out of Paint Tool SAI, which has really effected the quality of my art as well. I'm looking forward to keeping up this productive streak.

Experiment with my make-up: As I mentioned in my April round up, I've really fell in love with make up again, I was starting to get really lazy with my make-up. I just felt that my make-up looked a little rubbish no matter what I did, and it felt a little pointless putting it on. It may have been due to buying some new make-up, or that I had randomly decided to look through my stash and try on some older products. But either way I'm loving doing my make-up and trying out different colours and looks out. I want to keep up with this re-found passion.

Embrace life and Opportunities: when I went to Ireland and travelled alone by plane for the first time, I had planned to write a post about travelling alone and making the most of life, but never got around to it funnily enough, though I'm still planning to do that type of post. But either way I want to push myself more, to try and make the most of each day, to do something each day that I can look back on at the end of the day and say ‘Go me’. I just feel more and more that I'm never getting any younger, and why delay plans that I could be making now?

And those are all my Aims for May, quite a variety I think, and all pretty doable aims I think. The only thing that’d stop me achieving them are my number one enemies, Laziness and lack of motivation, though my motivation has been great… So it’s more just my never ending laziness.

April Aims

So hi...

So April although lacking in social plans, should be a really good month in terms of personal development and aims. I'll be finishing uni and starting gym and swimming and generally doing a lot day to day. As such a lot of my aims are health and fitness related.

Gyming it with Kate: As I said In my weight post (HERE) I'll be starting the gym that's across from me with my flatmate and I'm aiming to go at least 3 x a week.

Keep a strict budget: Once my third installment of student finance comes through a large portion of it will immediately be put aside to pay for rent and bills throughout summer, because of this I want to be strict with my money so I don't waste money on food or things I don't need.
Slow the Drinking-Try go dry: I've noticed that this Uni year I don't go even a week without drinking and I thought I would try to cut this down a little, To better my spending habits and see the effects of my possible weight loss
Look for a Summer job: Kind of tying in with the budget aim, I'll have a lot of money put aside for rent and bills and not all that much for personal spending, I'd like to do a fair bit in summer including book a tattoo, and that shit needs money! 4 months off also can get really boring honestly.
Start Planning volunteering options:As I'm nearly done with my second year of university I really want to get some volunteering in prisons under my belt to prepare me for after uni.
Complete 5/6 Art Pieces: this one is a kinda regular aim as I want to hit a personal quota of 5 pieces a month.
Start streaming: Watching so many streams has made me want to do it myself with my art work or games, Not expecting to get anything from it, but it's a lot of fun and relaxing.

The Capsule Wardrobe: The Plan

So hi...

 I love the concept of a capsule wardrobe. I recently rewatched all of Vivannadoesmakeup's videos on her capsule wardrobe and swooning a little. It's just such a clean and organised way to keep clothes and get rid of the useless crap that just ends up collecting dust at the bottom of the wardrobe.
As such I've been thinking about how to start making my own wardrobe a capsule wardrobe. Now I don't think I could really do as good as Vivianna with only 36 items each season. I've made myself a breakdown of what I'd like to have in my wardrobe in total as in all honesty, I want to just completely rebuild my wardrobe as I feel like I've collected a lot of things that I don't really care for or just don't reflect my style all that much.
Anyway This will be in some form a mini series?
The break up will be the plan now, then when I have time after my recent assignment dates are past.  ( UGhH Second term assignments why you all so close together!).
Now I've thought to plan for 100 items overall, and in this includes Shoes, Dresses, Tops, Bottoms (with sub categories of shorts trousers and skirts!) and then Coats.
This plan may change, as I collect things I may notice I've missed items out or that I don't actually need as much as planned, it's a learning curve.
Let''s go.
Breakdown! 100 items.

Coats: 14
Shoes: 14
Tops: 30
Dresses: 10
Bottoms: 42
 -Shorts: 10
 -Skirts: 7
 -Trousers: 15

That's the basic breakdown I've decided on, these would then be swapped out and changed around for each season.
Just a note, the 14 coats are because I've considered hoodies in that category which are basically my life, always gonna have about 5 of them. Student life yo.

Now is the long process of clearing through my wardrobe and deciding what I would actually keep as apart of this system.

Do you have a capsule wardrobe? any tips?

Foot Freedom! BRB

So hi....

I may be breaking my August everyday blogging shindig. I was finally able to get my cast off Monday and it's amazing how much it's brightened my mood. It was just in time for my Birthday and for a huge number of plans and activities, so although I lost a whole month of my summer I still get to celebrate and enjoy my birthday and a friends and do a load of things.

I still have to wear a boot, but this can be taken on and off and I can actually walk on my foot without pain both when wearing the boot and when not. I'll not push my luck too much though, I wouldn't want to have 4 weeks of freedom just to end back into the cast.
ANYWAY on to blogging, I'm actually going away tomorrow (12th) Till Sunday (16th) and I won't have my laptop, as such I won't be active. Although I do have posts planned I will unfortunately miss out blogging on the 12th as I have yet to decide a post idea that I've liked and although I want to blog everyday I really don't want these posts to end up as random bad ideas posted just for the sake of getting a post up.
In total with my current planned posts I will only be missing around 4 days in August, but maybe I'll be blessed with creativity, which would be grand.

Honestly as well as making you all aware of my potential gaps in posting this month I also just wanted to share the happiness I'm currently feeling, I have the boot off now and the freedom feels so great, I had a warm bath and not having to awkwardly hang my leg out the bath was great. It's weird because I've felt annoying with how much I've talked about my broken foot but when you can't move and you can't even be independent. There's nothing else for you, your life is that broken bone, You're best topic of conversion is how long till it's gone and how you did it. It literally was in every aspect of life for the last 6 weeks, that's a long time, If I had broken this n high school it would have been my whole summer which used to feel so long.

Well if I don't see you in tomorrow's post don't miss me too much. BRB.

Mid Year thoughts

So hi...

So we're now midway through 2015, it's the middle of June and I can't believe how quickly this year has been going by, I've finished my first year of uni, made lovely friends, been abroad twice and it's been crazy. I also Blogged every day in may which was a super interesting experience which I was really proud of myself for doing, you may have noticed I when took a little break from posting. Though I wanted to keep a regular stream of blogging going I decided to have a little break to sort things out at home with jobs and life plans etc etc.
But I'm back on it now, and ready to power forward!
This year for me has been the best of my life so far. With the start of uni at the end of last year I really started to get into my sense of self and knowing what I want to do with the next few years of my life. My Confidence is one thing that has definitely gone up, I've stopped caring so much about other people's opinions and acted on my own wants and idea. This is everything from  my attitude to my fashion sense. I've had a complete mental re-haul. If I want to buy a dress i buy it, whereas before i'd worry about peoples opinions.
It's an amazing feeling to feel happy with yourself and feel secure with where you're heading. I know that Uni was the best decision I've made for my own progress and development and I still really hope to go into criminal therapy once I finish Uni.

As you guys know if you've been keeping up with my posts I've been abroad twice this year, I went to Paris in February with my Uni fashion Society and then to Spain, Salou a month later with my Uni Football team. It was amazing to go away and experience a different country, It light a flame for travel in me. I've also recently been catching up with Funforlouis' videos, which has inspired me even more. The travels and sights he experiences are simply outstanding. I hope to one day visit so many fantastic places.
But that'll have to be around uni for now.

So we're halfway through the year and at the beginning of Summer and I can't wait to see what the rest of this year holds for me. I'm working to earn as much as I can over Summer and Hoping to go Amsterdam for a few days towards the end of August with friends which will be incredible.

So 2015. Thanks for being so good to me! please keep it up.
How has your year gone so far?

Summer Hopes & plans 2015

So hi...

List type posts are so satisfying to write, I don't know why but It's just so simple and it makes me happy making lists. Seriously you guys should see some of my notebooks, list central (there actually will be a little look into my notebooks on Saturday 23rd) Anyway, to the point of this post, Summer is nearly here, though the change of warm sun the rain recently makes summer seem so far away... But for me it is well and truly here. I finish my last exam today and tomorrow I head back to my home town and it's officially the beginning of my Summer. As my year so far I feel has gone pretty damn well I'm hoping to have a very active and exciting Summer to continue my good year. I have a number of little things I want to do, some actual activities and other just general aims I hope to achieve over the whole of summer.

- Get a Summer job (Multiple if possible) -I've actually already got a small cleaning job thanks to my sister but I really want to get a lot of experience and work for savings.
- Aim for £500 towards savings - this is related to the job thing as obviously I need a job to earn money for my savings but I'm really hoping to get at least £500 for my car savings.
- Boost creativity - Not exactly Summer related but I'll have a lot of time to do this over Summer. I really hope to get back into drawing and painting, as well singing, thinking even to return to the old Youtubes.
- Get my Dress making on. - May have mentioned this before but I really want to get a hang of dressmaking, patterns and all. So over Summer I'm really looking forward to learning sewing and creating my own clothes, Also Considering to learn knitting or crocheting. 
- Get outside - Little more typical but I want to make a really strong effort to get out and about at least 3-4 days a week, whether that's with friends or just exploring things on my own.
- See the Uni people - Really want to stay in close contact with my friends I've made at Uni, They really mean a lot to me and It'd suck to not see them all Summer, Luckily we've already got a few plans and ideas which is super nice.
- Work on my Health and Fitness game - Already a work in progress this one but Summer gives so much opportunity to work on my self and own confidence and health. I've had a good head start the last few weeks of Uni and really hoping to continue this and as mentioned in the Instagram post I've put up I want to lose a bit of weight.
- Volunteer If I can for a concert or festival - This is a kinda random one I think would be amazing for experience and would just feel amazing, I obvious favourites to volunteer at would be the likes of Reading, Glastonbury and Download. But even a small time one would be super cool.
- Host or Attend A BBQ - Because how could you go the whole summer without having a BBQ?? that's right, you couldn't.
- Become more of a morning person. - I'm a super night owl. Honestly I have always had a super bad sleeping pattern, I'm one of those strange individuals who manages much better on smaller amounts of sleep. I wake up earlier and feeling better on 4/5 Hours sleep than I do 8+ hours sleep. But sleep is important so I want to try get myself up in the mornings as well as get a decent amount of sleep.
- Travel As much as I can - I'm not really talking abroad travelling here but just getting out of my home town, there's so many little places to do around Luton and even London is just up the road, So I wanna go and explore these places a lot more.
- Do want I want and be more adventurous. - I've gone through quite a few changes this year, I've really been able to 'find myself' and feel a lot more confident. A small example is my new piercings, I've wanted them for years, but worried so much about others views that I held back, now that I've got them I feel so much more confident and like my personality is being expressed better. I'm planning to continue this, say ye to more, Not worry about other others opinions and not be put down.

That's the whole of my little list of things I wanna do over the Summer this year.
What plans and hopes do you have for summer this year?

Blogging everyday in May.

So hi..

I've seen around the interwebs at the beginning of May a few people deciding to blog or vlog (eg: lilly pebbles) everyday for the month of May. Now as someone who only posts 3 times a week on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I've never really considered doing something like this as I worry about ideas and posting just for the sake of posting. HOWEVER, I've been recently been doing really well with pre-planning and organizing on my blog, I've been good with writing my blog, having decent inspiration and keeping shizz scheduled. I had my posts planned for the whole month of may and still had a few ideas for what to do after. So I thought I'd challenge myself to blog everyday for a whole month. I've already been doing this pretty well so far and do have a lot of posts planned for the whole month. I'm also pretty proud with the posts, I don't feel like I've made up posts or random ideas just for the sake of it and they are posts I think will still hold some interest for readers.

So yeah, look forward to a whole bunch of posts from me this month.
Here are links to the posts so far!
May 1st: The Monthly Round Up: April
May 2nd: Summer Wishlist 2015
May 3rd: I Missed this day to due mourning a friend's passing.

April Goals

So Hi...

Thought I would do another little goals type post. I tend to do this every now and again to show everyone where I'm sort of heading or what I'm hoping to achieve this month/season. It's not a super big list but ya know.

1: Keep up the Healthy Meal Plans! Recently I've started to keep up healthy eating through specific meal plans I've found on the weight watchers site, These were free and I have just finished a week, I could talk forever about healthy eating and my personal struggles but lets leave that for anther day! anyway I hope to upkeep this throughout the month!

2. Get outside. A little bit of an obvious one but I wanna make the most of the spring and summer season and get out and about, both at uni with the flatmates and once I'm home, this one is more whole of summer goal then only april but ya know.

3. Get More Creative!! Lately I've been feeling super uncreative, i don't draw or create as much as I used to and it sucks, I feel so drained of inspiration and creative flow, so I'm aiming to revive that.

4. Do more Fashion related posts! Don't get scared, be confident. Fashion posts are some of my favourites, how to style and personal style blogs cover maybe 40-50% of the blogs I read, I envy their fashion sense and confidence and really want to post a little more fashion along with the odd make-up and lifestyle posts.

5. Make more commitments and keep them. This is for both personal and social commitments, I feel like if i make commitments with friends, i'm more inclined to keep them I really want to give myself more commitments and things to do.

6. Stay in more frequent contact with friends and catch up more! To be honest I think I'm quite decent at this already as i tend to catch up with most friends when home but I want to keep up with it and text and talk to friends more, I really appreciate my close friends since uni.

What goals have you set for yourself this month if any? let me know in the comments below!

Habits I Want To Make.

So hi....

I don't think I've mentioned it too much over here on my blog but if you follow me on twitter you would have probably seen my praises of how much better I've been feeling over the last 2 months or so. University has really done me a world of good, the responsibility and the whole level of control you get from being in a different city and living independently is just something that really sat well with me and due to that I've felt more and more content with myself as a person and have got a real sense for what I want out of life and where I want to go with uni and just life in general and it's super nice. In relation to that I've developed a few things that I really want to make into habits that will become apart of my everyday routine.

Morning walks. - I'm not the worse morning person but at the same time I'm not really the best. I want to get into the habit of waking up early and going for a casual little walk to wake myself up

Reading the news in the morning. - I always feel really out of the loop with news, I just don't watch the news in the mornings or really watch it in the evenings either and we don't have newspaper in the house, So I'm always unaware of whats really going on, and I just want to change that and know whats happening in the world around me.

Read a book chapter a night. - Trying to renew the little reading challenge thing that I did a few months ago but in a different way, to properly wind down before bed I want to read and just relax away from the laptop and my phone.

Learn a new skill every few months. - This is slightly random but there are so many things that I want to do and know and I think it would be amazing to spend a few months at a time dedicated to different skills I want to learn and then gradually practicing them.

Relearn to read sheet music. - I suppose this could be linked to the skills point but I used to read sheet music when I had piano and violin lessons, but over the last 3-4 years I have almost completely forgotten which I feel is a shame as I loved being able to play off of sheet music.

Read more journals for uni. - This one is not only to make sure that I feel that I've done my best in my uni work but because the course I'm doing ( Psychology and Criminology ) is something that I picked because I do find it interesting, so I want to engross myself into it as a subject  and topic more than I am at the moment.

Listen to the radio in the morning. - Another random odd one, but I've been putting the radio on while i'm reading the news on my apps in the mornings to help slowly wake my self and it's just nice as casual background noise, It's especially nice recently with all the festive music, helps put me in a great mood in the mornings.

Make proper use of my time, Organize. - Quite a really general one here but I really need to make better use of my time and be a lot more productive and organised, I always think how there's not enough time in the day but really it's just that I don't make good use of the time.

Do you want to change any lifestyle changes, since It's new year, are you going along with the usual, new year new me shibang?

The Year Round up: 2014

So hi...

And that's the year over.. 2014 over and done with and I'm not sure whether I thought it was quick or not. Honestly a lot of the year feels quite blurry to me as Uni beginning has been such a huge change it's blurred the few months previous, BUT here it is a few photos of my year.

Janaury: This was a pretty good month, I went yolo mood and chopped off over half my hair to my shoulders and did lots of cooking as well as catching up with friends.

Febuary: As far as I remember this was another pretty good month, I went to see ADTR with my friend Darcie and  had another London trip for Casual Shopping with Ross, Was eventful and lots of fun.

March: not as good of a month, I finally went into hospital to get my Tonsils removed which had been playing up for nearly 6 months, but I was glad to have them out, And still got to enjoy Paddy' day with the Family, Result.

April: This was an interesting month, the highlight being the fancy dress party my friend had, which I went as a maid If you couldn't tell, I think it looks pretty good, I also got a bit of summer prep shopping done and treated myself to games, I love the Bioshock game series.

May: I had a really good may, had a lot of fun, Went out for a 'quiet' drink with my friend Amber which ended up with a struggled walk home at 6.30am, I also had work at 8 the next day where I didn't finish till 8pm, It was hard, I feel like I lost my sanity at some point, but I still really enjoyed the work and night out aha! I also had a great chilled 'party' at my Friends which is the second picture. And the last is a catch up with Friend Darcie where we were classy and sat with a whole pizza each and a Costa, Perfect.

June: Apparently june was the month of selfies for me. In honesty this was the month my memory card messed up and decided to wipe my photos before I got a chance to back the latest files up, And so poor june here doesn't have much to show for it, but I remember it was a lovely start to my summer, I wore dresses and everything, I also had a really good work shift at the club for Specs comedy, it was really good.

July: Getting into the full swing of summer I made sure to make the most of it trying to soak up the rays without burning and we had plenty of nights out with lots of ridiculous photos as you can tell.

August: So I slightly messed up my neat 3 photo thing i had going on here but August is summer and my birth month so gimme some leeway here. And can i just say, that middle photo, I now look at and wish I looked like that now, I was working out then as well, what the hell?? As I said before I turned 19 in august and had lots of days in the sun, nights out and a little BBQ at a friends, I also got a full fringe which I'm already missing...

September: Again ruining the theme but the last few months have been very eventful and I've tried to take more photos for it. I moved to Uni and had a heart breaking 'Last Supper' with my friends at home. But Freshers was super eventful and fun, very student typical in the large amount of partying.

October: Still in the moving to uni swing, I still spent lots of time partying with my new friends. I also went to a toga party as apart of a social with the Football society I joined, they are a fab bunch. I also had a lovely week back home as we partied on halloween (My friend has his birthday on halloween) And I got to see my cat, always a highlight.

November: The partying calmed down slightly in November but not too much, It was also the start of the Festivities of Christmas settling in, I got to experience the German Christmas market in Birmingham, It was absolutely amazing. Everything was so pretty and it put me right into the Christmas spirit

December: And so here we are the last month, I could chat ages about December since It's fresh in my mind but you would have already seen my December round up so I won't go on. It was a nice mix between being at uni and at home and was an absolutely amazing finish to the year!

And that was my year, I'd say it was a pretty good year apart from the hospital early on and stuff, but I pasted my A levels and Uni is going well, I also already signed for a house next year with the amazing group of friends I've made at uni and I can't wait to live in a house next year. I've also really grown as a person since uni, and have grown very close with a few people from home, I suppose realizing those I can always rely on.

So it's been a really great year I think, Well as the end of it I'm feeling positive so it had to be!

 How was your year? Did you get up to much?

We're Going through Changes

So hi...

Did you like my song reference quote thingy there. This is a random little post today, bit of a little chatty one.
So I used to technically call my blog a 'beauty blog' as 90% if not all my content was beauty related however, I think I wouldn't consider my little blog a beauty blog anymore but rather a mixture.

My favourite posts to write are lifestyle ones if I'm honest, and food I love little food pots and pictures. I love chatting about my life and opinions and just the things around me and I feel that my blog is representing that a lot more. I do still enjoy beauty posts and little opinions and reviews are still a thaang, I even do the odd fashion post in the form of wishlists and a few awkward OOTD's (which I hope to get better with)
Uni has also meant a lot of changes, with my daily Vlogging (have yet to edit these, bare with) and the huge change to my surroundings and usual routine, I feel this has also greatly affected me and the blog, as I explained before, during the last week I've had no time to sit down and blog, I'm very behind reading blogs and watching youtube, And I've really missed it.

But the main point to this ramble is just that my blog has definitely evolved as I've grown and changed my interested and my lifestyle has changed, my blog is a little bit of everything now. I hope that my readers ( all 50 of you!) won't mind these little changes and enjoy reading all my posts.

you guys may also have 4-5 days of posts to make up for my lacking content when moving, You lucky dogs you!

Do you mind when blogs change? or are you flexible if the content still holds your interest.

The A-Level Results. And going Uni.

So Hi.

I'm about a week late in writing this post but due to my birthday, which was the day after results day I have been super busy and today is the first break I've had to really sit down and collect my thoughts.
So results day was good. Wednesday night was a little girls night at mine with films and pizza and a late night drive which was nice but despite how late we went to bed... I was up and filled with nervous at 7am. I had originally planned to wait till I went into college but with the results put up online at 6.30am  I couldn't wait, while my friends were asleep I checked my results and quietly squealed with happiness at the fact I passed. I didn't do as well as hoped, I got BBD, which was exactly what I needed to get into uni, But I had hoped to do better, especially with that D grade, But with taking 9 exams in a short period of time I'm just glad I haven't failed anything.

And so in under a month I am off to uni, my chosen University being Birmingham City Uni, Studying Psychology and Criminology, I've been given my accommodation and have been trying to find my flatmates through different Birmingham city groups on facebook and such, I have found my neighbors and a few individuals on my course but I have yet to find my flatmates, boo.
Along with the passing of my A-levels and acceptance of my first uni choice, begins a different project I want to do, Once I begin uni I plan to vlog it, all of it the good, potentially bad, and down right funny. This is an idea I've had for a good couple of months now and I'm looking forward to starting it. I hope some of you may enjoy my awkward vlogs and be interested in the uni happenings of a normal young adult.

So that's that, I didn't fail and I have not much to do but wait until freshers week, my uni bits are already bought and I definitely have a place to live, It's the start of a completely new chapter of my life and I hope you enjoy reading it as I write it.

have an updated selfie of my silly face pulling.

The Monthly Round Up: July

So hi...

Another month gone and it's getting scarily close to both results day and my birthday, which is kinda terrifying. But July has been a rather good month, Ross my bubba best friend turned 18 on the 29th, I went away to summer camp and thoroughly enjoyed myself and yeah, July has been a rather enjoyable and active month.

pre-outing selfie//the night out//me and oliver while out.// alcohol and pizza movie night//Ross & stewie//veggie omelette//camp movie night// animal presentations// holding a snake// casual daytime drink// Catch up with Ambs// Baby owl chilling.

I think I've decided that this is a happy medium amount of photos for these posts, I don't want to bore you all with a ridiculous amount of photos, but this is enough to cover core moments of my month I guess.

The 5 Year Plan: Where do I go now?

So Hi,

I seen my friend Kit, Who is an amazing fashion photographer ( check him out at his blog here) make a post of this title and it got me thinking about doing it as well, though my thoughts are no where near as neatly laid out and organised as Kit's plans. I'll give it a go anyhow!


1-3 Years: University (Hopefully at Birmingham City)
There's not much variation for this. In September, if my grades permit... I'll be heading off to Birmingham city uni to study Psychology and Criminology, and for 3 years of my life that's where I'm hoping to stay. I'm really looking forward to the idea of living in a city and I've already looked up a load of little events and such that I want to go to that are held in Birmingham, it's all so exciting and I really look forward to making the most of my time there.

4 Years: Visit to America and Finding my way.
Honestly, I don't have any super set in stone plans for once I finish Uni. I haven't gotten to the point where I'm decided on if I will fuller pursue the years training required to become a full fledged Psychologist or Criminologist, if I did, that could be a total of 7 years in training, and I don't know whether I want to give away my life and youth that quickly after finishing uni. 1 Thing that is planned however is a trip to America, Or more on point to Texas to attend RTX.  I'm a big fan of Rooster Teeth and Achievement Hunter and Although I could have attended RTX already, I want to be 21 to meet America's drinking laws and so I can attend the after parties involved, just a way to get the most out of my visit.

5 Years: Saving Saving Saving
In 5 years time I could still be going through training, and that's a scary thought. But it does supply much more stability than where I'd think I'd be doing... I'd like to think I'd be on my way to saving for a house, And I'd like to have be driving by then and saving also for a car, I know it's super over ambitious with all this but I plan to start saved now, like I'm going to risk living a little poorer at uni so I can put a few quid away whenever I can. Hopefully I can save something up even if that's only a few hundred in the 3-4 years.

And that's it, my very messy unstable unplanned plans for the next few years of my life now that my time at college is finally finished, Seems so strange to me saying that.

What's your plans for the next 5 years of your life, Whether your finished college, heading to high school or already out of uni... where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
