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,

Moving Out: 1 Year On

Now I waited a little bit after the 30th June to write this post (a month basically) mainly because I moved out of halls and into a house and basically I was busy with finding jobs and doing bits on the side and have been very M.I.A with my blog at the moment and I apologise so here is a long blog post about what happened after I moved out and where I am today and how I got here. So I left home (my Nan's house) on the 30th June 2016. That day was so hard for me. Leaving a place I called home was really scary but I knew at that point in my life I had to do it there and then. I waited with a friend and I stayed at his house for a few nights while I sorted things out and where I was going to stay and things like that. I was going to be moving into halls on September 10th that year for University so I had about 2-3 months to figure out where I would be staying and how I would get all my stuff for University with no job and no home. After a few days at that friend’s house, I was abl...

Life is too Short..

Over the weekend, we have heard that Christina Grimmie was shot dead at her concert in Orlando and a mass shooting again in Orlando at Pulse nightclub where over 50 people were killed. This has to stop. Gun control needs to be in place otherwise these attacks will keep happening in the future. It makes me think though, life is too short. Life is too short to worry about things. Do things that make you happy and that make you feel alive. Don't feel sad because something is over, feel happy because it happened and then find something else to focus on. If you focus on the good things, you will have a better life. Yes there will be ups and downs but getting out of the downs will make you a stronger person. If you lead your life on negatives you will not get happier and you won't find the positives to focus on. Take life by the balls and live life to the fullest because I promise you, you will find those things that make you happy and that make you want to jump up and down in jo...

2017?!

It's less than a week till 2017? How did the year go so fast? It's Christmas Day tomorrow! Merry Christmas to those reading this! Let's be honest, it has been a shit year for all of us. We have lost so many amazing people: David Bowie Alan Rickman Sir Terry Wogan Frank Kelly (Father Jack on TV Series Father Ted) Sir George Martin Paul Daniels Ronnie Corbett David Gest Victoria Wood Prince Muhammed Ali Gene Wilder Leonard Cohen Fidel Castro and so many more. Some of these like Wogan and Corbett, I didn't even know about until last month. Knowing that these people who brought comedy and happiness into our lives through so many ways is so upsetting to see and really shows you that life is short and that this year has also gone so quick. I remember the day when Alan Rickman died. I was at school doing coursework for my final film in Media. It seems so long ago now. I have been through so much this year. Handing my final coursework in for Media and ICT and...
