There's no place I'd rather be

Clean Bandit ft. Jess Glynne - Rather Be
Is the best song in a very long time! Greg James said the last 10 years which I think is about right. It's actually up there with The Killers - Mr Brightside which is my absolute favourite song, no other song even compares but this does come very very close so that's saying something! If you haven't heard it yet where have you been?! It's on every radio & is on course to being number 1 in the UK Top 40 today!

So on Friday night Danielle's uni house had a house party to celebrate the end of essays & exams of semester 1. It was actually the first time I've been to this house. It looks tiny & horrible from the outside but it's actually massive & not that bad! They all have an en suite which is good but weird that the kitchen is upstairs but it did used to be a shop downstairs with the house upstairs which makes sense.











I ALWAYS stand on the left no matter what (It's because I used to have a sweeping fringe that way so have decided that's my side) especially when I've put all my hair to that side as well I need to be on that side but Hannah decided it was her good side which meant I had to stand like this otherwise I'd have no hair. Surely everyone understands this!

Actually have bit of a life apart from going the gym everyday it seems! It wasn't much of a house party as you can see with all the photos we decided to take of ourselves... No-one we knew from our course turned up only Danielle's house mates, mates turned up.
We were drinking out of mugs proper students!

I'm still wanting a studded fedora hat but the H&M's in Liverpool just don't have the one I seen in Manchester which I don't get! & why did the Manchester one only have them in Large's? Not everyone has a massive head!

Hello it's been a while! I did eventually get all my essays done in time! I didn't leave the house for 8 days I was an actual herm going insane! All I did was sit in front of this laptop alllll day & night staying up till like 4:30am to get them done in time. I was so ill as I was so stressed, headache, eyes burning, feeling sick, covered in spots, couldn't get out of bed you name it I probably had it for the 2 weeks! I just couldn't wait to get rid of them!! I'm really hoping to finish with a 2:1 but after that hell of just wanting to get them done & out the way it's pretty unlikely... But at least they're done now & I can't do nothing about them apart from really trying harder this semester & not to leave stuff so last minute as I have 2 4,000 essays to do this time as well as most of my dissertation probably as I didn't have time to do anything over the Christmas break & my tutor didn't even send me my feedback to do till afterwards when I emailed him!

Uni aside as I still have another 3 days off I've been living in the gym going everyday since last Tuesday! Well I didn't go Sunday or today I went to YO! Sushi will Danielle to the Blue January offer which actually finishes tomorrow. I haven't seen Danielle since last Monday but that was only as we handed our essays in & that was it, she had a family meal to go to. We were meant to be away somewhere out of the country right now, from Sunday till tomorrow but that didn't happen sadly as we couldn't find somewhere within our budget or some place good for so last minute! I wish I was brave enough to get the plane on my own & stay in the apartment on my own, I could be in Spain by myself now! 

I finally got myself a checked/tartan print scarf from the Urban Outfitters sale! It's a men's scarf but I'm not sure what guy would wear it... & It's quite short I think! It was only £4.50 which student discount & as it was my first order I got free delivery! But annoyingly the week after I got it they were doing an extra 20% off sale items which I missed out but ah well £4.50 is still a bargain from £18!

I finally watched Peter Pan for the first time ever yesterday, I didn't actually know what it was about till I was 15 which is funny because I'm just like him, I never want to grow up! I also watched Tangled the night before which I'm turning into Chinese Rapunzel with this hair... A few people have asked if it's real which I get slightly offended with as it is 100% all real which I grew myself! It's not that hard! I just watched Toy Story 3 recorded from Christmas before which was quite sad!

Gym again in the morning then to Danielle's house party to celebrate everyone else's exams & essays being handed in. It's been a while since I've had a good party! Also I got myself a new phone, which I got on New Years Eve but only started using it on Monday cos of my contract. It's the newer version of the one I did have the LG Nexus 4 so my photos look better! :)

What's New

DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom
Floral Shirt - Urban Outfitters Sale
Jumper - New Look Sale
Leather wet look Jeans - Topshop

 Time is flying faster & faster there just isn't enough of it! I'm currently having a panic stress attack that I have 12 days to do 3 essays adding up to 9,000 words!! I've given myself strict deadlines that I need to stick to otherwise I don't think they're going to get done in time!! I can't wait till the 13th January when they're handed in then hopefully I might take a city break as I didn't go on holiday/go on a plane in 2013 :(

The past year has been quite boring & rubbish really I guess the only highlight & good thing worth talking about is that I finally got myself a job! But then sadly didn't get kept on even though they wanted to, they just couldn't afford to which I don't really understand as everyone's hours have been cut so surely there are some hours going? I guess I can't really moan as I did work for 5 months when some people only managed about a month but that's their on fault for not pushing to start early I guess. Since finishing uni for Christmas being full time is the reason I haven't done any of my work... But come the 28th January when I get my final pay (hoping they've paid me right) it should make up for it a little so I can treat myself...

As a parting gift my manger let me choose from a big box of perfumes which were testers/old stock I could choose any 2. I chose Marc Jacbos & DKNY which were still almost full. At first I did pick up the men's DKNY which was a bigger bottle I think was 75 or 100ml this is only a 50ml. The Daisy is 75ml which is good compared to everyone else who only got small gifts that weren't worth that much as I'd been there the longest. When I said bye to manager I did start crying & then I had 1 more shift on the Sunday & said bye to everyone else surprisingly I didn't cry!

My New Years Eve this year was quite rubbish as I didn't actually celebrate or go out I was working instead. Kelly's in New York & Holly's in Paris. Danielle went to her boyfriend's, Gabby was out with her family & I thought Hannah was with her boyfriend but turns out that didn't happen & she text me too late to make plans! I was only meant to be working till 10 then my dad pick me up to go out but as I didn't have plans we didn't end up leaving till after 12 & just came home! So instead of spending money I ended up earning which I guess isn't all that bad. 

Like every New Years we went to Gran's for dinner last night. Just the usual Wing get together. No new clothes/outfit sadly as I haven't seen anything I've liked in the sales & haven't been bothered to go into town as it's just so packed! 

I don't think I'll be posting anything till after the 13th as I need to get these essays done meaning I probably won't be going out or doing anything other trying to get them done & going to the gym!
