Update post!

So my blog's been quiet for a while. Tthought I'd break the silence...

I spent my summer working two jobs so I don't have much time for anything too fun and now everyone's left for uni (which I'm really jealous of). Luckily I've decided to take a gap year so I can still do some things that'll be worth sharing. I've got to see at least one of my friends whose not been a disaster like me and managed to apply for and successfully embark on their year abroad (lookin @ you Luce) plus plans to visit Amsterdam are in the air!

 The second job was a placement with my university analysing expatriate blogs and I loved it and my supervisors so much that I'm sticking with the project until January. It's actually been such a good experience working with experienced academics, especially as they've only been encouraging and positive about the amount of effort I put in and what we've achieved. To all you freshers (and anyone who's been lazy/shy/busy with other things until this point) I definitely recommend getting behind the scenes at your uni and working with the academics who can pass on some knowledge and make you feel like uni has actually been worth it. I was working in the Business department which is outside my range of study (politics and modern languages) and it opened my eyes to some future career prospects and interests, plus I got some inside knowledge of what it's like to be an expat (which if all goes well I should be!) If you wanna hear any more about it drop me a comment 😁

I'm gonna spend my gap year working, reading and resting which doesn't sound very interesting but it will be! Reasons are as follows:
•I might work in Spain as an au pair (if I pluck up the courage)
a've read so many good books lately that I'm going to start writing reviews because you need to read them too!
•Rest includes self-care so if I do my nails really nicely one time I might show you 😌
•I also got this adorable kitten who is basically my life now (if you've got me in Snapchat you know!) so expect a catlady post soon (meow)
•Planning to get rich with a couple of poetry competitions (£1000 first prize... yes please)  so I'll actually be actively writing and looking for inspiration

Thanks to everyone who encourages me with my blog and the rest of my life tbh and I'll see you all soon 💜

This song gets me

Absolutely love The xx though I probably need to find out more about them.

Better with headphones so you get the amazing harmonies and guitar.

I always chill out to this song, it's kind of haunting.

Enjoy!
