Home is wherever I'm with you...

So the end of my first year at uni came and I was time to leave our university halls. My home for my first year at uni. My first London home (independent of my mother). My little flat in the big city.

As scary as it was moving in, I couldn’t even begin to explain how exciting it was. I've loved outside of London since I was 7. So come back is pretty much all I've wanted. I've had one of the best years ever, don’t get me wrong there have been so many UPS and DOWNS, but without that my year would have been sooooo boring. I've met some cool people, some incredibly lame people, and made some F A B friends. So many lessons were learnt and a lot of realisations happened this year but I feel like I've changed for the better.

Moving home was a welcome relief, in all honesty. The last month at uni, when everyone knows it's all coming to an end, our friends from home are starting to return, our parents are expecting us back, our old schools are planning reunions, and our local clubs are holding events to get everyone back together, people started to realise that they needed to prepare for a summer without the people they’ve just spent the last 9 months seeing almost 24/7.

A lot changed over the last month of uni. I did more spontaneous things, I stopped caring about what everyone was doing as a group and decided to do things even if the others didn’t want to and I had a lot of F U N.

People broke up for the summer and people got back together. We've all done what is most convenient for ourselves.

I miss everyone a lot. A ridiculous amount. But I'm having an A M A Z I N G time at home. I'm spending tonnes of time with my best friends, were going out, staying in and just having a lot of fun. I've managed to visit my old school and actually enjoyed it. (Considering I said I never wanted to go back, I had a great time; it's nice not feeling like a child anymore!)

I think moving back is a big change, but I think it came at the right time. Everyone needs a break and I think we've all missed everyone from home. It gives us time to spend with those who matter before we have to move away again.

So if you enjoyed reading that, and you’ve moved back home or you'd like to go somewhere, anywhere or everywhere, feel free to be an angel and share it, like it, and tweet about.

May S T R E S S...

Being in a frustrating situation is the worst.

Trust me, the whole of MAY was a frustrating situation.

First I had exams. Then I had boy dilemmas, then I had unnecessary hate and on top of that I had to find an outfit for a boat party.

Obviously I focused on my exams. Studying every day. BORING. But worth it. Remember start revision early and find little things to motivate yourself. It'll be worth it in the end.

My boy dilemma. I dealt with this by writing an open letter. This means it was a running letter of my thoughts to this guy. The catch is you do not send it. You write down your thoughts, capture them, and then you can do what you want with them.

I wrote all my feelings down. It actually made me feel SO much better. Because it can be so confusing having all these thoughts in your head, with everything else going on at the same time, it's nice to have what you're thinking at the time and be able to get it out.

Avoid social media at times of stress. This is unnecessary stress that nobody needs. There will always be someone being pathetic and bitchy, or something that'll make you jealous, or something that'll distract you. S T O P. Let the media go. Just while the stress is still there. It'll be worth it. And this eliminates bitchiness and pettiness on social media because it's just so silly and juvenile.

Finding a dress was probably the easiest problem of this stressful period. After figuring out I wanted to look I N C R E D I B L E. I wanted to be seen in a sexy and lacy dress. So I trawled the internet and found the perfect dress. Let me tell you, it was a hit. It fitted incredibly, it was very me, and it was even described as "like taking the dress off of a bond girl". So overall that was a relatively easy one.

So if you enjoyed reading that, and you're not too stressed out, or I've helped you find some banging dresses for your next occasion or you've realised boys are dumb, feel free to be a doll and you could share it, like it, and tweet about.
