Inspiration Time

Happy Tuesday everyone!

It's getting a bit stressful at my school, particularly with UCAS applications, university entry exams, as well as internal tests, so I thought I'd share this pic I found!

If you're beginning to give up, STOP! You can do this. Put your mind and heart into what you love and soon you'll become your own expert.

What's In My School Bag?

Hey people!

This is my first post on here, so i’m bloody nervous, but I hope you enjoy it! I’m going to do a ‘What’s In My Schoolbag?’ So starting off, my 'schoolbag' is from Primark - I find that they do pretty decently sized bags that are quite on-trend for reasonable prices. I got mine for £10 and have found that it's still going strong, even though I definitely OVER pack it ALL the time! I didn't really know how I would organise this post, so hopefully this works…

I obviously have the general stuff, pencil case, folders, books, books and more bloody books! Then more practical stuff, like an Oyster card (If you’re outside of London, it’s basically a travel card). My purse (on sale from Accessorize – absolutely LOVE it). House keys. Reading book (it’s essential to always have one). iPod (my life. literally). Mirror. (Sun)Glasses. Life bag (dead without one). You may be wondering ‘What’s a life bag?’ even if you weren't wondering, I’m still going to let you know, cause I’m nice like that ;) I basically keep all my little bits in it, from lady stuff (YOU know what I mean), to hairbands, blotting paper, lip balm/stain, first-aid kit (don’t tell me I’m being excessive when you need (blister)plasters /paracetamol /wipes/ paraffin gauze/polythene gloves…etc), perfume, hand sanitiser, hand cream, more hand cream and some sort of breath refresher (for those days that you just can’t say no to Wotsits!). And that’s basically it. I hope you enjoyed that, and hopefully, I’ll be making more of an appearance on here!

·    Borough Market

I’ve been here a couple of summers ago and it was great! They have a huge collection of food from delicious beef burgers to extraordinary ostrich burgers!

·    Take road trips to another city!

I recently went to Birmingham over the weekend and it was great! I got to see the university campus and shop at the Bull Ring! It’s definitely something fun to do with the family.

AS Results Day

The majority of us come out of our exams saying "I can't wait 2 months for the results, I want to know what I got now!"
But suddenly we are whisked away by the excitement of summer. Next, all of a sudden its only a few days until results day and we dread the day. 
I know that feeling; racing heart, stomach churning and sweaty palms as we shakily open the brown envelope.
Then that split second of confusion when the letters and numbers on the paper don't make sense. And then it becomes clear and there are 3 scenarios which follow...
