What to Expect | A Little Update

Hello!
Today I thought i'd give a little update on what to expect in terms of my blog the following couple of weeks.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last Wednesday I officially started college again for my second and final year. Already i'm feeling under a lot of pressure and in fact slightly overwhelmed with the amount of work I have to be completed  much earlier than i'd like. Of course I love blogging and have really enjoyed getting up more than one post every week over the summer but until I feel like i'm on top of the work I've got to do, blogging will have to take the back seat in my life.

I'll still be blogging as much as I can as it is a hobby, something I enjoy to do in my spare time but that will be when spare time is available. I aim to post at least once a week and may include a second post on Sundays telling a little of what I've got up to that week, if at all interesting! These have been called 'The Sunday Edit'  in the past so let me know if you'd like to see more.

As well as college work, i'll also be working my part-time job which I am in fact looking into a new one(of more hours, more convenient hours and something I will enjoy more), seriously thinking about what i'd like to do next year in terms of study, working or taking a gap year and similarly last but not least attending a few university open days, one of which is Norland College in Bath.

What are you doing this September, or what have you done?

Also lastly, what would you like to see here on my blog?

Thanks for reading and understanding,

Amy X

Life Updates!

Hello!

So I've got some times on my hands this week so i'm going to spend it chilling out while getting things done. That may sound a little strange but basically i'm going to be relaxing in my comfy clothes while working on the laptop. I say the laptop as this isn't strictly mine, I've been sharing with my sister as unfortunately mine died 3 years ago. Yesterday I decided to get it out and try to fix it, it wasn't having any of it so we're calling the 'Computer Doctor' out to come and fix it as PC World did nothing. I'm in need of my own now as my sister is moving out and I need it more often as next year is when the hard work starts at college and i'm thinking about uni!

Anyway, this is just a blog post on recent life updates as I feel you don't know much about me.
I'm genuinely starting to feel happy with what I am doing, study wise. I got to a point where I just didn't know what I wanted to do and I wasn't feeling happy, I just wanted to leave college as I hated it! So I tried applying for many positions to get me out of college but still be learning, and basically it just didn't turn out well. I've been working so hard to try and get the best out of my education and it's definitely paying off, it shows throughout my grades, I'm getting A's on assignments. 

Now this is definitely not something i'm going to brag about as I'm not the most academic, this is genuinely me expressing how i'm feeling. Finally feel able enough to go to uni, which I never thought i'd say!

The main reason for this is I've been so organised! I haven't been leaving things to the last minute like I usually do, I've been keeping a diary with things planned for the week or two ahead and it's really helped me to get my head straight! This has also helped me to kick anxious feelings, now i'm not self-diagnosing and saying I have anxiety as I think it's quite a serious matter. But everyone gets nervous, that's what i'm addressing myself. I've been feeling so negative towards things as I've explained above but organisation and basically just saying 'What's the worst that could happen?' and usually the answer is 'Nothing that can't be changed' and just going for it.

Now I don't want to rant on too long as this is just an update and chance to get a little more about me. But hopefully due to being finished college, well nearly I just have to go in on Friday to hand in my last assignment, I will be blogging a lot more. I've planned a few posts to get up in the very near future including, 'Small Hauls', recent beauty purchases and reviews and opinions of products that I've wanted to try for a while!

So stay tuned and they will be up very soon, reward yourself with brownie points if you've got this far!

Thank you,
