Freedom

Hello there people of the internet!
So last week I said I was going to write about my school leaving experience, but I've delayed it bit until now (sorry!)
The day was actually so lovely and even though some tears were inevitably shed (including me wah) everyone had a really lovely day and enjoyed sharing in memories of our 5 years at high school. I want to thank everyone for such an amazing day and 5 years at school, so many people have made it such a memorable experience, and I will remember so many people!

Below are some pictures of the day taken by some of my friends (sorry if one of the photos are yours!)






I will miss everyone <3

Leaving

Hello there people

Tommorow I leave school (terrifying) so soon I'll be writing a soppy blog post about my last day and all the stuff which happened, I'll also probably be uploading a video to vlog our last day if we can!

Can't talk much, sorry guys!

Confidence

The amount of time I've had to myself this week whilst revising has given me TOO much time to think (mostly about fangirl related issues lets be honest), but also on other things which I relate to myself as one of my biggest personal problems.

I've never been confident in the presence of new people. 
As soon as I get to know you though, trust my friends, I won't shut up and I'll probably become mostly annoying.

This is why whenever I meet new people I completely disappoint myself every time, because I know how much fun and laughter I could have with them if I just had the courage to open myself up a bit more and not be afraid of their response.
I think the main phobia is having to make up a response, on the spot, and not being sure how they are going to respond.

We've all had those moments where you don't know what to say, and for me, every time I meet someone new it is my constant fear that they won't like me or will respond in a way which I won't expect.

To conquer these boundaries before I go onto college I have decided to throw myself into more situations with every opportunity I get, and try to teach myself to see the advantages of meeting new people compared to the fear of saying the wrong thing or receiving even one negative response.
Excepting new experiences can lead to exciting things!

One of those tasks to push myself into things was writing this blog, which I have found a completely exciting, new and fun experience!
I don't know how I've done it but I reached 250 blog views which I was quite proud of seeing as I've got readers from all over the world.
I love this blog and as soon as I'm on the summer holidays I'll try to blog daily, with some more fashion style OOTD posts and some lifestyle posts of my activities where I try to fill the extended summer.

If any of you guys want some help in trying to overcome confidence issues like I am trying to do, please e-mail me as I would love to here what you are up too to try and become more confident!
My e-mail is: loza08@btinternet.com

Please comment below if you have experienced any of these feelings!
Thanks!

Guilty Pleasure

Another blog post in the space of a day, you guys are shocked.
Today I wanted to write about a piece of music which has particularly been my guilty pleasure for the past couple of weeks.

Firstly I have to tell you guys that I have never been obsessed with the likes of Disney Stars such as Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus, and there seemingly popular to other people music productions.
I've always been a bit 'no thankyou' when it came to the really upbeat, happy songs, which were too pop music to be pop music.

That doesn't actually make sense, does it?

Anyway this month I've been loving, sound like Zoella (Her Blog Here) aha, the song 'Ready or Not' by another fairly familiar Disney Star called Bridget Mendler.

A picture from the promotional album cover

A screenshot of the music video
I don't actually know if I particularly like the song,but whatever its got it hasn't been out of my head for more than a day for the last couple of weeks, especially since I downloaded it and it frequently comes up when I 'shuffle'.

Its got really easy, simple lyrics, a steady beat and a fun tune, I mean whats not to like. And the thing is I don't think it sounds like a typically 'Disney' song, and thats probably why its doing so well in the charts.

Thankyou Bridget, nice tune you got there.

Anyone else find this song oddly addictive or just annoying?

Exam Stress!

This week I decided to write about exams; eugh I know.

We Heart It

The reason why I haven't been able to properly write this blog is because of those cheeky devils, and soon they are about to start to the dismay of most year 11/10 students around the country, as well as SAT's tests to top of the younger ones sadness.

Exams are horrible.
You revise for hours on end, trying to get the most stupid details to stick in your brain, and then go into the exam and write them out again in the appropriate question.
It's like a memory game aha!

I have to admit I'm not a person who finds exams as hard as some people do, I've been blessed to be quite intelligent and find things easier to understand than others, and for that I am soooo thankful.

I just think its hard for anyone to face a situation like exams for such a long period. 
We all started revising around Easter, and will be studying/revising/taking exams until the end of June.
STRESS!!!

So my advice if you are infact one like me taking your exams:
-Revise when you are most awake and take the most in
-Don't stay up too late the night before the exam
-Don't waste revision time by going on your phone for '1/2 an hour' and then making it 5 :)


What are you guys feelings about your exams?
Do you like them, loathe them?
How are you coping?

Sweet 16!

About a month ago me and my best friend Ellie celebrated our 16th birthday together! (We're not twins just freakishly have the same birthday!)

For our birthday we went to pizza hut (just for the icecream really!) and then went back to my house where we danced and did other fun things!

It was a great day. I love that now we're in year 11 we've all been friends for so long, and over the years I've been at school I've just seen my friendship group grow and grow, and I think its absolutely fantastic.









Had to use the high exposure just so you can see Ellie's face when she got the Olly Murs t-shirt!

I think friends are important in life. Sure, family are your rock. They are there to support you, love you, help you grow up, thats what they're there for right? But sometimes, if you're feeling that you don't need all that nurturing and just want to really be yourself and have fun, friends can relieve your stress and let you find time to just relax.

(cue cheesy comment)

What I'm really saying is that I love every single one of my friends. They're all so supportive and fun to be with in different ways, so if I'm feeling in a certain mood there will always be someone who is feeling the same way, and thats just perfect!

My best friend, Ellie has always been there for me and I can't wait for all the stuff which is ahead!
*soppy laugh*

What do you guys value most about your friends?
