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.

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...
