Give 'Em Hell!

I've been watching Revenge lately, and it got me to thinking: Should you take revenge on someone who has wronged you?

In a word: no. But believe me when I say I have been there and done the whole revenge thing myself. In fact, someone in my life (we'll call her Miss Misery) who crossed me in possibly one of the WORST ways they could, got a nice dish served up cold!

Things Are Looking Up (Oh Finally)!

Brownie points for quoting song lyrics in the Title of this post. But that's the funny thing with music. Some of it is great to dance to, some music is good to be angry or sad to. Some music relaxes and sometimes, music just sums up your life. I get this a lot with the band Paramore. Yep that pop punk band that everyone says sold out but you know what, it just seems that whenever they release a new song, it resonates with my life!

Freedom of Speech and Expression

Just wanted a little word about some things we like to call in good old Blighty, Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Expression. Now if you know me, you know I'm not one to take anything lying down. So a few weeks ago a girl I know caused a major shit storm in my life that had some very significant domino effects.

Getting back to the Root of Things!

I touched up my roots on my hair today and it has changed more than just my hair colour!



I'm not one to really wear my heart on my sleeve; I don't usually take a chance on a special someone and I really don't like to leap off the edge and hope free-falling will work out! But actually, I took a chance on just how red my hair would turn out and I love the end result!

Smooth As Silk

Everyone knows that I'm a little bit of a grunge kid, so when I was invited down to Silk Road in Colchester, my immediate reaction was firstly, that it probably wasn't my kind of thing and secondly, who would I know that was even going to be there? And why would I think that? Well amigos, Silk Road is a club that serves up hip hop, RnB and all things with a completely different base to what I'm used to... I really only listen to this genre of music when I run, because the beat is perfect for pavement pounding!

Boy was I ever wrong!

Cutting it Fine!

Ahh deadlines are looming and all I hear people saying is that they've left it all to the very last minute... Again! I'm not one for being finished weeks before my deadlines, but really I'm a prep girl! I like to prepare my work, do some research plan my essay and structure it so that it doesn't look like I wrote it up an hour before it's due in. In fact, I'm usually finished by midnight the day before, not to sound smug or anything! ;)

However, for my fellow students (and business folk) I am gonna give you the low down of how I stay on top of my rather large and rather crap workload! It's all in the organisation, so if you're not prepared to do the work before the (actual) work then look away now!

If it's not on the calendar, then it's not going to happen!

I'm a Writer...

I don't know whether you've picked up on this shiz yet-- I know I've pretty much only just realised, but I'm kind of a writer. I love writing. I can sit and write my novel for hours, though typing it up is probably gonna be a royal pain in my ass!

Fashion Snaps: The Home Edition

It's not often I get to brag about homely bits and bobs but having had to reassess my living situation, I thought I'd include a post on my favourite pieces about the home!

Viva Valencia!

So over the summer I went on a study vacation to Valencia, Spain. I'm pretty sure you'll all remember how homesick I got and how certain things went wrong. Well despite all these things, I still look back now, thinking about how I miss it and wished I'd done more!

My trip to Valencia was not only enriching in terms of how much I learnt about the language, but also in terms of the friendships I forged and the confidence I built! :) But most importantly I learnt about myself.

And I thought it would be just another holiday!

The Importance of Positivity

Last night I made the revelation that I'm going to start getting up at 5am. Now even I know it's a little on the bonkers side but I did get asked, why I was getting up so early when I should just utilise my time better and wake up later.

Oh Hello Ridiculous O'Clock!

It's that time again where I decide to up the game from 9am wake up calls to 7am wake up calls. Except now, I'm going to up them to 5am wake up calls!! I KNOW!!!! It's insane right?!

Well essentially, I've decided that if I'm ever going to fit in all the things I want/ need to in the day then I'm going to have to haul my ass outta bed each morning at FIVE O'CLOCK!!! Basically I've discovered that with all the extra studying I will be doing as of next week, and classes and gym AND running, things will be absolutely nutty, if I'm going to fit it all in then I'm going to have to get up earlier! :)

Jetting Off To Paradise!

If you've not guessed after the year and a half I've been doing this blog thing, then you should probably know that I love travelling!
I have worked my ass off for the last 5 years, in order to go away every year, to somewhere new, somewhere beautiful and generally somewhere I might find an adventure. I recently watched the film "Letters To Juliet" which is a sappy rom-com, but for me the best part of the film was seeing the different places the characters ended up: Vineyards, The House of Capulet, the beautiful Italian countryside.

Breathtaking!
