The Older I Get....

..... The more I know my own mind. Which means I have a lower tolerance for crap. And let me tell you friends, there has been an all out crap slinging contest going on in the world lately! Whether it's the age old females vs males rubbish, or the poorly educated fools hashing it out in the streets baring all in their Primark leggings and flip flops, it seems that 2014 is the year to make an absolute tit of yourself!

Keep it classy ladies!

Who I've Become...

It is said that our personalities are formed by the age of 7. I cannot remember much about being that age, apart from wanting to make sure everyone else was okay and happy. I can remember that feeling of pride when I would help with folding the washing (pairing socks is serious business) and the swell of happiness when my parents would come back from a good parents evening. I did that, I made them happy.

Don't even know how old I was here.. Maybe around 6ish?

A Step too Far for Feminism??

I rage about this topic quite a lot. I'm all for burning my bra and having equal rights as a woman but lately Feminism has just become a political volcano that could blow at any given moment if someone says something wrong.

The Ugly Duckling

If I could go back and tell the 15 year old me some advice it would be this:

You are beautiful. The boys don't like you because you're not easy and the girls don't like you because you're not easy (and that makes them jealous.)

Ahh the ugly duckling.......

Public Displays of Affection

We've all been there, we've all seen it and some of us have even envied it. Affection. That sought after emotion we want with another person, to be unapologetically ourselves, around another person and still love and be loved for it!

Romance isn't just sex

Winners Never Quit... Quitters Never Win!

My life is so far from going to plan right now... I had 2 days of calling around French people for some accommodation only to be told I need a French Guarantor, by the time I actually organised it and paid for the pleasure, I found out that Student Finance England (being the stellar organisation that they are) have messed up my loan for the THIRD year running. So I give them my greatest congratulations because it is looking like I won't be going on my year abroad thanks to them.

Karmic Powers and Other Such Stuff!

Now I'm a firm believer in Karma. You get back what you put out there: 3 fold. So basically be nice and people will be 3 times nicer back... Be a total bitch and people will return the favour times three. So please let me just remind you that if you find yourself alone, with no friends left and feeling hard done by then the chances are, you've brought some of that on yourself!! SUCK IT UP!

Say No To Starbucks..?

Now we all know I'm like a crack addict when it comes to my coffee-- I don't care where I get it as long as I get my fix!!! So imagine how thrilled I was to hear that my uni was suggesting a STARBUCKS ON CAMPUS!!! Oh my gosh, double skinny tall caramel machiato wotsits would be coming out of my ears when I returned to uni-- excitement doesn't even cover my sentiment to a PROPER coffee shop on campus!

Saved by Starbucks on Oxford Street!

Go back to the Play Pen Kids!

Where do adults get off acting like jealous, insecure teenagers? Seriously! I'm on a rant so I'll warn you now, if you treat others like you're an extra from Mean Girls then get outta ma way!!!

Don't try the BS with me...

Treading Water...

So since finishing the Oxford Half Marathon, I've basically been going in a little bit of a downward spiral....

Don't Call Me a SLUT!!!

So in light of the Assange case and terms such as "Legitimate Rape" being thrown around recently, the gals of the world feel it's time to unite once again on what is known as a Slut-walk.

Everyone hates you because you're such a slut!

Now I know that George Galloway is a prize prat and thinks it's okay to rape women but not everyone does-- hence the slut walk. But forgive me if I'm wrong but haven't we all seen that trashy girl hitting on everyone's boyfriend (and sometimes their girlfriends!) and remarked that she's "such a slut!"? Yeah I thought you had!

Be Pretty on Rest Days!

So given that I was 99.9% against the Olympics this year what with it usually being ALL track and ALL football on our screens with none of the other sports being shown, I have actually thoroughly enjoyed having the Olympics in London. But I am all for women sweating it out for fitness........

So forgive me for joining the ranks of women who were shocked and appalled that London's Victoria Beckham of running, was out and out called HIDEOUS by a randomer on Instagram.Now the image in question was after a hill training session, which most people can imagine won't result in a stunner of a picture!

Tough Decisions

Okay so I'm not ranting. I'm questioning.

Why is it SO difficult to accept that I (a 20 year old student) have decided to give up alcohol except on special occasions, such as Christmas or weddings, my 21st Birthday or an anniversary bash etc? Why is that so unfathomable?

Mockery of the British Justice System: The Extended Edition

We all remember it well. The haunting face of 9 year old Shannon Matthews who went missing on 19th February 2008, filled us all with horror as yet another child went missing. The worrying trend which seemed to be growing at an alarming rate had struck again, this time taking Shannon.

Now Entering the Realm of Douche

Okay firstly let me explain... WHAT IS WRONG WITH 99.9% OF PEOPLE THESE DAYS?

Seriously, douche-baggery comes from every corner at the moment it's unreal!
