I Want Summer!

Is it normal to have wanted Summer for the last 3 months? Yes? Well thank god because it's what I have wanted since January. I don't know why but summer seems like it is going to be good this year. I am 18 in a month and will be with my boyfriend for some of the summer. Seems like it will be the best summer ever!

I don't know what I am going to do in the summer but I hope I will be going somewhere with my boyfriend and having some time together after our exams have finished. I kind of want to go to places I went with my parents when I was younger. We always used to go to the seaside for a day and come back late at night. Those were the memories that have stuck by me. Just thinking about the past and the days I would spend with my parents. We didn't have a lot of money to spend there.We would take sandwiches and I would sit in my dad's wheelchair (we only had one seat in the back) and I would sometimes take my duvet so I could sleep on the way home. I never thought about the future then. I never thought that 6 years on from that year I would have lost a parent, be going to boarding school and then be going to University. I thought about if we would stop at a services so I could get a drink and some food. I remember going to Weston Super-Mare and just having a picture with my sister outside a amusement buildin/casino for both children and adults.

You think back to when you were younger and you question what you thought about and how you lived without a phone. I know I lived without a phone and now that I have one, it seems to be stuck to me. We go through our lives now Snapchatting and Instagramming going to the gym and putting on Facebook that we've been friends with someone for 5 years on the site. It doesn't seem normal not to have a phone and I am not saying it is bad to have a phone and do all those things but I miss the times where I could be with my family, enjoying ourselves collecting shells on the beach, taking photos on a flip phone or disposable camera.

I miss going on day adventures and I will sure do it in the future with my family. Just take a day trip to somewhere like Scarborough to see the seaside and just to be there like I was when I was younger.
Question what you did as a child and if you would do it with your family in the future. I know I will.

Have a good week,

The Last Year

So it's a new school year but this time for me, it's different. This year is all about getting the grades to be able to go to University next year. To cherish the memories I will make in the next year. I've started this blog because I love to write and I want to be able to do this weekly. Just touching on what's happened in the week and what's made me smile. Over the past few weeks, I have been on a roller-coaster of emotions. A lot of them were not good feelings and although some of those still remain, I am happy for once. I am happy because of the support I have from friends and family when telling them the problems I have and will be facing in the coming months. It's quite hard when you cannot tell anyone what you really feel when they ask how you are. You don't want to tell them to bring their mood down but you need to talk to someone. But right now, that is over with and i am enjoying the life I have. I am getting help for the problems I am faci...

Lego Tape - Review

I don’t know about you but if I could go back to my childhood and not grow out of Lego, I would. I came across this Lego tape online and oh my god I had so much fun with it.  So let me tell you why I am going to play with this Lego tape for the rest of adult life.   When it arrived, there were four packs with the colours green, red, blue and grey. Pretty good colours knowing I didn’t choose them. They came in around 1m strips and are quite flexible. Going to cut them, I found they were easy to cut into pieces, the only problem with this is you can’t put them back together. I found to tackle this is to put two strips together and they should line up and then bricks can be placed on them. Also, this means you can join different coloured strips with bricks and make what you are building more interesting. Before you get the strips you think about how much you can do with them and where to put them but when they get to you, your mind goes blank. I sat on my sofa and thou...

What to do when stressed...

What to do when you're stressed about deadlines... So as the end of my course looms upon me, I am stressing out as it's a lot of work for me to do in two weeks but here are a few things I have found to help with the stress. Eat Healthy  - If you eat pizza every day, the carbohydrates and fat in it with make you feel tired and grouchy. Have a chicken salad instead! The nutrients in the salad will awaken your senses and make you feel alive. Well, this is what it does to me haha! Eating carbs makes me feel tired therefore eating something acidic or sweet like fruit and vegetables will help keep you alert. Avoid drinking fizzy drinks as well. Try drink water or squash to keep yourself hydrated without the caffeine. Take Breaks - Try and do 40 minutes of work then take a 10-minute break. This helps your brain rest for the next 40 minutes of work. Have a drink and a snack in this time to keep your brain and body fed and so you can use your brain for your work! Also, you are ...
