20Things About Me

I've been tagged in this post by a number of people now so I suppose I should get on with it!

So here goes...........

The Importance of Dedication

There are 3 things I want to really focus on this academic year. I want to spend time on my studies, improve my running and become a green belt (minimum) in karate by next summer. In order to do this I have to have one very important thing: Dedication.

I have met some truly inspiring people this year who make me want to do better but also make me believe I can do better! And in light of the fact that I am moving to France in a couple of weeks, I decided that it was time for a fresh start and a fresh focus on things...........


Karate World Champion Vicky Panetsidou.

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!

Life is your Blank Canvas

Just a little picture I stumbled across tonight...

I love it because:

• Life is a blank canvas with which we can do anything!


• It shows that you should never be afraid to take a stab at something-- if you don't try it will never work out!


• Drawing/ designing your life is a freedom like no other-- every choice you make is another stroke of the pencil!

Have you guys seen any inspiring pictures lately?? :)

The Value of Friendship

This year at university has taught me a lot about friendship and how fragile it truly is.
But when it comes to long term friends and crossing that ever important line, do we know when to cut our losses?

Only Young Drivers

Guess what!!!! I'm going to be writing for MONEY!! Yeahh man! I'm going to be an actual writer! Don't get me wrong this blog is my pride and joy but to actually get paid to write things down is a blooming miracle!

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!

Fashion Snaps: Wild Wild West!

With summer looming (in the far far FAR distance!) shops are cracking out the sales left, right and centre so that the bag we've had our eye on for weeks is now 70% off and those shoes we really don't need but desperately want because, let's face it: who doesn't need velvet peep toe wedges in magenta?!
The only problem is that you are not the only one with these thoughts! So it's clear that things are gonna get nasty...

Fashion Snaps: I <3 Keira Knightly!

Now I don't often have celebrity idols/crushes but one that I have had for a VERY long time, solidly is Keira Knightley! I love most things about her such as her style, her gumption and her fashion. I think she's very talented and rather humble, which makes her good at what she does and generally a nice person!

Feeling Sassy!

Surrounding yourself with people who make you feel good is the most important thing that I've learnt this year! Lately that's what I've been doing and I've really noticed a difference in my personal confidence levels!
