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 taking my final A2 exam for Drama. It has been such a ride for me. Summer was a mess but a good mess. I moved out of my nan's house on the 30th June, spent a week and a bit moving around to different friends houses (thanks, Ed and Thomas for putting up with me) then going up to Scotland to stay with my best friend Max for a month while I sorted my life out. I came back down to live at my dad's house on the 13th August, 5 days before results day. That day came and I got my grades and got accepted into my first choice University. I have finished my first semester at University and I am so happy I went. Learning more about film, cameras and scriptwriting. I am so confident with myself that I can do this. My depression and anxiety are gradually getting better due to the people I have surrounded myself with.

So this is the last post on this blog before 2017 comes next week. Thank you to those who have helped me this year. It means a lot to have you by my side. Let's make 2017 OUR year.

See you in the New Year!

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...

Study Blogs and YouTube Videos

When writing on my Study Blog on Tumblr at the moment, I am doing the 100 Days of Productivity challenge. I started on February 1st and today is February 20th and currently, all of my work is complete for school on Monday and I am thinking of what to do in the Summer as I will be getting ready for University but also having fun at the same time. When writing my blog, I feel like im letting someone know about the progress I am making with my studies and that is a relief to feel. I want someone to look at my posts and go: "oh she is doing so well with her studies, I am proud". I love just posting about my day or what I am doing at that moment. I just like giving an audience something to look at. Much like my YouTube videos. This brings me onto my next topic for this blog entry. My YouTube Channel. As you may know or watch, I am still on over 300 subscribers and my goal this year is 400 subscriber but am finding it difficult to find videos on what to film and when to film th...
