Commonwealth Games

The Commonwealth Games have recently ended and now I have no idea what to do with my extra time. I have come to the conclusion that I had become very attached to these games. It amazes me at how some people are so fantastic at their sports and it is making me feel like I should start synchronized diving with my best friend.  Although this will probably never happen, it's the thought that counts right?

Anyway the athletes that have participated in the Commonwealth Games have really inspired me to put a lot more effort into what I love to do. I have decided to post more things on this blog and to try and show you a bit more of my life. 

I am so sad that the Games are over and cant wait until they happen again in four more years. Please comment if you agree (or not).

What It's Like When it is Summer in the Rest of the World!

You may or may not know that I live in New Zealand and it is currently smack bang in the middle of winter. It is freezing and I am continuously chilled to the bone by the strong winds. As larger countries like US and UK are currently having their summer I always see many videos of YouTuber's showing the scenery and it makes me wish it was summer!  All of the Summer Essentials and Look books just make me want to sit on my lawn and sunbathe. But as this would result in hypothermia... I resist.  In those brief moments when the sun does come out life is amazing and I am instantly happy, but... I have realised in my life time that this is just a trick by the clouds to make you think it is safe do go out but actually a plot to make me get wet.  Of course I know that winter is not always bad that your attitude towards it may be the problem but when I see the sunny beaches and essentials, I can't help but wonder why I'm not sitting in the sun relaxing.

The Truths of Living in the Southern Hemisphere in the Christmas Holidays!

As it is coming up to Christmas I have been looking back at past Christmas' and have come to realize that their are both perks and troubles of living in the Southern Hemisphere, specifically New Zealand, at Christmas time. I thought I would share 5 Perks and  5 Troubles with you! Perks 1. It's always warm.  In New Zealand December is almost the middle of summer which guarantees Christmas Day to be sunny and hot. I have never lived through any Christmas Day in New Zealand where it rains! This great weather is very helpful with celebrations! 2. Cold drinks are amazing!  When you have been sitting out in the sun for hours on end and are given a Coca-Cola straight from the chilly bin, your face will light up. When I was little the chilly bin also served as a fun game of who can keep there hand submerged for the longest. Even as I get older this is an intriguing game! 3. End of the school year In New Zealand Mid-December is the end of the school year. When
