Right Now, I’m Excited

A lot has happened this month. My cat died, I turned 22 and I moved out. I’m sad and hung up about my cat, Tigs, but most importantly I’m excited and refreshed with every aspect of my life.

I’ve wanted to turn back to my blog for a long time and I find it hard. I know it’s an over saturated market but like everyone else, I want to be different, I am different. I just need to show you guys what I'm made of and what I'm passionate about.

I like the idea of keeping my blog as an online journal from now on. What I like, what I dislike, how I find university, the relationships I have in my life and how I’m finding adult hood (hint, hint… adulthood is confusing).

This year I had a summer holiday (although I do still work 4 times a week), I wanted to use my spare time to do all the things I don’t usually have time to do. But guess what? I have three weeks left and I don’t believe I have done any of those things. Overall, I’ve just realised that these things aren’t a priority and if I really wanted to do them so much, I would have done them by now.

The things I have done though, well I enjoyed them a lot…

I went to Cornwall with my parents and it was beautiful.

My dad and I went to Brighton Pride, we drank, we ate, but more importantly we saw Britney Spears.

 I turned 22! I went to my favourite brunch spot with my parents and nan. We did some house shopping for the new flat and devoured cake.

The following week I celebrated with my friends, we started with tapas and moved onto cocktails. My dad bought a round of absinthe and I danced outside in the warmth, it was brilliant. 

 As I previously mentioned, I moved out and it was very exciting. Even though the van broke down *extreme stress* the day went smoothly and by lunch time we were able to sit and relax and at a local spot I’m sure we will be going to more often.

 The best bit is there is more to come and I’m not ready for the fun to end. 

Speak to you all soon,

Pops

It’s been a while...

So much has changed and I have so much to update you. Where to start?

I completed my apprenticeship!

I finished my Level 2 in Business Administration and was kept on at my job! I am still in this job and loving it everyday.

I’m learning to love fitness.

After a long-term relationship and a habit of stress eating my life away I had come to the realisation I was fitting into a Size 16 better then I was my usual size 12. Neither of these sizes are good or bad but we all know when we’ve pushed the limit into an unhealthy weight.

I realised I needed to make a change and one I would enjoy or I just wouldn’t stick at it. I joined a local gym and worked with an in house PT for 10 sessions of an hour. My gym routine is still constantly evolving as I learn but I feel as if I have come a long way so far and my aim is only to enjoy a healthier lifestyle.

I went back to uni!

Two years ago, little old me quit uni and said ‘No! I am never going back’. This year after starting to embrace change I considered what I love most. Art. I thrive from an artistic surrounding. Something I’ve never spoken much of here.

I took a look at my qualifications, my strengths and where I would like to see myself as an adult. I applied late, only July of this year but I got in to study in September. Now here I am studying a Degree in Visual Communication: Graphic Design.

  

I’ve taken a while to get everything back on track and stay balanced (or so I’m trying)! I have had a think about my blog and decided I want to add more of my art into it, so kind of an 'in the life of an art student', as well as still speaking of everything lifestyle. I hope you enjoy this little twist as much as I do!

Thanks for reading,

Poppy!
