About Me

I am a Film Production student at Derby University and am currently about to go into the second year of that. I am a blogger, YouTuber, food fanatic, TV addict and alcoholic. Here are some questions people who want to know more about me have asked.

Why did you start blogging/ What inspired you to start blogging?
I started blogging because I wanted a change in my life and I think being a writer and putting it out for people to see helped me with a lot of my confidence issues and because I wanted to tell people how I am doing in a wide audience. I don't have any inspirations but I know I wanted a change with my life. I just didn't know what.
At what age did you start blogging?
I started blogging when I was 16 just after I started uploading videos to YouTube.
Who is your favourite blogger?
I don't tend to have favourites when it comes to blogging and YouTube but the blog which showed me that I could do the same was Louise Pentland's blog (http://sprinkleofglitter.blogspot.co.uk/) and I think looking at how much she has gone through is really empowering to see so I think she is probably my favourite blogger.
If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
That really is a tough question for me because I want to travel the world. I think if I were to choose anywhere, I think I would choose Los Angeles or Hawaii because I have always wanted to go to America and these two are on my list of top places to visit. They are also beautiful and I would love to watch a sunset from both of those places in the night time and visit landmarks and the city in the day.
Do you daydream?
I don't think I have ever daydreamed, to be honest. I dream more than anything but I also have nightmares so there is a balance and I write every dream that I remember down just so I look back on them and read what I wrote at 4 am half asleep about how I put on a dance show for hundreds of people for no apparent reason.
What's your favourite film?
Again this is a really hard one because I love films with my heart. Being a film student, not everyone agrees with what you say is your favourite film and when learning on a film course, you see films in a different way. My favourite film when I was in Year 8 is not one of my favourites now just looking at the writing and how it is shot. So after all that waffle, I think my favourite film would be La La Land because the story is different to those I have seen and it is beautifully shot. I have never seen a scene when Ryan Gosling is walking down a pier in the sunset like anything else and it warms my heart every time I see it.
What do you want to do when you leave University?
You should never ask a University student that because we do not even know. Hell, don't ask a film student because we have no entire clue what we will do. It takes so long to get into the film industry so I hope to get myself a job as a runner on film sets and work up from there. I am going to travel the world for a year though after University so I can see the sights of the world before I have to get a boring job to be able to live.
I am also going to be hopefully living in the US for a year when I have enough money to. I really want to do this to be able to give myself chance to learn more in a different country and try and learn more about the film business in the heart of the career.

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...

Some Sort of Update!

So I know I haven't posted a blog post since April and the last one I posted was about my depression. I have been very dormant due to finishing two of my subjects in school (Media and ICT) and because of that, I have more time to focus on my drama exam! Written work is something that is tricky for me as I am not that good at explaining things sometimes therefore it's a little harder when writing big essays. Especially when the sections are up to 30 marks each! But as I have now cut down on my work load, I am still finding ways to procrastinate and I know I shouldn't and just get the work done but over the past few weeks, my motivation really hasn't been there. I want the drive to do the written work, to be able to have the motivation to push myself to get better but it's not there. I don't know why maybe because of depression or anxiety of failure but it's very annoying. It is nearly the end of my secondary education and I can't say i have enjoyed...

Dear America

So this is a blog post directed to America. Dear America, Over the last 10 hours, I have seen two videos where men have been shot and killed by Police Officers. You know why that is?  I am not saying they're racist but shooting black men because they're doing nothing makes it look like racism and because white police officers think that these men will retaliate and assault them. The men that I saw in the videos had no weapons on them. One was on the ground, held down by a police officer and didn't seem to be struggling but the police officer took the matter into his own hands, put the gun over the man's chest and shot him. Since January 1st 2016, over 600 people have been shot by police officers (Souce: http://killedbypolice.net/). When will this police brutality stop? When will they realise that these police officers have no right to shoot people if the person is not retaliating against the Officer? These officers kill these people and then do not get charged f...
