A Levels

A rant...


Okay so in like three months I will start my A-Levels which are like, the final exams in sixth form / college that help you get into uni and just look good on your personal statement / CV. I've been studying for them since September 2016 and started revising earlier this year, which my teachers don't seem to realise as every single lesson of every day of every week, each teacher lectures us for about half an hour about how important it is to be revising now and then get angry that we don't recall the exact content of the lesson one year, three months and twenty one days ago and the key words we were made to google ourselves because our teacher didn't know the definition themselves and then they had to leave twenty minutes early because they needed to mark a test for the year eight group despite year thirteen being the "most important" by which they mean if there is a slight chance they might have to do something that may take five minutes, then the whole three hour lesson will be cancelled,  but that's not a problem at all, they just give us a sheet and make us fill in the gaps ready for the next lesson. Education 👍

Montenegro 2017

A look book kinda thing...

So I just got back from our annual family holiday abroad and we went to the increasingly popular Montenegro (east of Italy, across the Adriatic Sea). Safe to say it was hotter than we had expected for Europe, with temperatures reaching up to 44°C (111°F about), but it was INSANE. Anyone of you struggling for a location I would highly recommend Montenegro. The people, the food, the views. All incredible. Some of it doesn't even seem real.

My Smoothie Recipe 001

So I kind of realised that I haven't posted on here for a while. I've been doing a lot of homework and revision, trying to stay healthy, sleeping eight hours a night, whilst also attempting to maintain a social life. Anyone who's gone through the "exam period" knows what I'm on about.

The Lakes

The past couple of weeks, for some reason, have been really difficult for me. My emotions and moods just seem to be constant and repetitive, with little motivation to do anything or talk to anyone. I feel like sometimes we all get to a point, after constantly replacing and maintaining a persona, a mask, that we just can't anymore, and you need to come out yourself. Maybe just for a week, a day, or even an hour - just quit the acting and remove the mask.

Dear Grandpa,

My Happy Place

Everybody has one...

There's a place where each and everyone of us feels content and happy, whether it be in the hills, in the sea, just generally outside in the fresh air, tucked up in bed, or even just being surrounded by people we feel content and comfortable with, we all have that one place where we feel most like ourselves.

Mine is no doubt the sea, or just generally the coastal area. Rain or shine it never fails to calm me down and take me away from things I don't want to think about. But for me, it's not just any old coastal area, not just any old sea. It's Bude (the Cornwall one, not the Devon one). I've gone there every year for the past 14 years and it, without fail, makes me so happy. As most of you are aware, my relationship with my parents isn't exactly angelic, in fact, to call it rocky is an understatement, anyways, even Bude somehow manages to temporarily reconcile most differences.

Dear Jane...

If you don't know who Jane is, see previous blog posts...

To fill you all in, Jane left on Friday. She's gone off on a new adventure. This is a little letter I've written her. Whether I'll tell her about it... hmmmm... we'll see. Maybe I will. Heyyyy if you're there.

Dear Jane,

Dealing with Anxiety

*I'm sorry this post is so unbelievably late, but I hope you understand that this subject is something very sensitive, and I didn't want to offend anyone in anyway. I've been working on this post for what seems like forever, but anyway, apologies*

Anxiety, the Little Devil

This subject is something that affects so many people, including me and so anyone reading this who thinks anxiety is a joke and is just stupid, I would kindly ask you to leave this page and maybe come back when you realise that it isn't.

Anxiety has an impact on the person themselves and also the people around them like family and friends, but does show you the true friends you have, as these are people that will stand by you even if they find it difficult to comprehend.
