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

I CHANGED MY BLOG?

Now I know what you may be thinking and that is probably, why is Katy now writing her blog posts on Wordpress? I have been thinking about moving from Blogger for a while now and I saw a Tweet saying they were thinking of moving over to Wordpress too and so I decided to finally do it.  Blogger has been in my life for nearly 2 years and while it is a good site for Blogging, I needed a change and somewhere where I could explore my creativity more as an adult and be able to use a site where I could input my own made creations onto my own blog.  I made my first blog post on Blogger back in December 2015 when I was 17 and now that I'm 19, I knew I needed to make the transition with my blog but I didn't know how and I definitely didn't know when. So no, I haven't changed my blog at all, I have just changed the site where it is hosted. I will still keep my Blogger site up and live for people to see my old posts but this post will both be on my Blogger and Wordpress blogs.

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
