Starting University EEK

Well here I am, high school is finished, results are in and I am preparing to start my first year at University. WHAT HAVE I GOT MYSELF INTO!!! I feel like I spent the entirety of my life studying for this and now I actually have to do it. Like honestly! We have to work hard 24/7 at high school only to move on to more study which is more important and wait for it... you have to pay thousands of dollars for it?!!?!?? (Although luckily right now in New Zealand we get the first year free yay! But what am I going to do for the 4 years after that?!)

In all honesty, I am actually pretty excited to start Uni (btw I'm studying Engineering and Commerce) but the enrollment and setting up of the whole thing is reeeaaalllyy confusing. You would think that they would try to make it as simple as possible to enrol and choose courses etc. but let me tell you, that is not the case! It took me a solid 3 hours to sort out my courses because I literally had no clue which ones I was meant to pick for which semester and after I finally thought I had finished, big plot twist - I had enrolled in them all for the wrong degree? Like how is that even possible? 

But amidst all of this chaos, I felt a tinge of nostalgia. Usually, I am not an overly emotional person but at Christmas time my cousins and I were all talking about how we are all going to be at Uni or working soon and our lives will take us in opposite directions. I had literal tears in my eyes, who have I become? When I think about my mums family, she never spends Christmas with her cousins, in fact, we hardly ever see them because they all have their own families with their own Christmas' that they spend with them. So from now on, I (and my cousins) have decided to not let our lives pull us apart.

Anyway, Uni starts next month and I am lowkey scared that I will hate it and would have made a huge mistake and waste the first free year... but I am determined to get the most out of it. I am going to work super hard (if you can't tell by now I am one of those annoying people that don't know how to take it easy), I am going to try not to spend my entire student loan on food trucks and I am going to meet loads of new people, even though coming from an all-girls school I don't know how to talk to 3/4 of the people in my cohort (engineering is only 25% girls aaaaahhh). 

So please send me your best wishes and advice and surely we can make it through together!

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

Image
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.

So I thought that instead I would make them something that they would really enjoy on a budget. I wanted to make something beauty related that isn't too difficult ( as my skills are very limited! ) so I decided on making a scrub.

Taylor Swift 1989 Review

Image
Taylor Swift's new album 1989 has recently come out and now that I have had a little bit of time to listen to all of the songs I thought that I would share my thoughts with you. I have really enjoyed listening to all of the songs and I struggle to find one that I don't like. I love the sound of the music although different to her older albums I think that she has evolved with her music and it still suits her style.  Some of the songs that I am constantly singing in my head are - Wonderland, Wildest Dreams and Blank Space. They are all very catchy and both peaceful and exciting. I love Taylor Swift's music and this album is amazing.  Her newest music video for Blank Space is really well made and I like how in the video parts of the song lyrics are telling the story as if it has been made for the video. I really love this album and I think that it is one of her best. I hope that she goes on a 1989 tour  and comes to New Zealand because I would certai
