Random thoughts #laziness

Good (insert time of day while reading this) to you, obviously my title has been quite misleading  thinking you would now be reading an interesting, perhaps even funny post and you will not be reading such a thing. You are now however committed to reading it and I am trusting you to carry on reading past this point so no clicking off now!

Every now and then I will have the odd silent moment to myself where I have the chance to think about really random things/situations so I am now going to fill this post with as many random things that I can think of that I have thought to myself about.

* What would it be like to be the pope? It's common knowledge with the people that know me, I would love to be the pope.. I literally don't fully know why, all I know is that of all the people/roles in the world I would love to be the pope. I genuinely think it would be great to drive about in the pope mobile for the day!

* it's so weird that when things get sent to the queen for her royal ascent, she never says no because if so many people want it (enough for the paper to be sent to her) then who is she to deny it. My law teacher even says she wouldn't even say no if it was to get rid of the monarchy - I would personally say no if I was the queen but each to their own.

*Speaking of the queen, what does she think about, what does she really love doing, does she enjoy reading, does she knit? I bet she loves a good crossword or a sudoku. Also, has she ever changed any of the royal babies nappies or even anything of the sort.

*Who decided words are words and that they mean the things they mean. Like who decided to call the thing we sit on a chair, its mad!

*What do dogs actually think about? They have such chilled lives - what would my little cass say if she could speak to me? (Probably "get me a treat now")

*You know when someone is talking to you and they say 'is that OK?' what would they then do if you turned around and said 'well actually, no it's not OK' like honestly what would they do?

*What goes through peoples heads when they're so unnecessarily rude to other people? Don't get me wrong my skin is pretty thick, I can 100% take it from people but there's plenty of people that can't. Just an example is the other week I was at work and someone rang up and asked a question I physically couldn't answer, nor could anyone in the office (had they given me the chance to fully explain our process he may not have been so rude) but he ended the call by saying 'that's great that you cant answer my questions, thanks, bye.' there's just no need in it at all

*where do people that come up with horror stories get their imagination from, what actually possess' people to write such grim films.

It's been ages since I actually wrote something and for that I'm sorry, I just can never think of anything I want to write at all. It's so annoying, if you have any ideas or can think of anything that would be good, please let me know in the comments!

IM BAAACK!!!

*Plays eminem in the background on repeat whilst writing*

Ok, so first things first, I'm so sorry I havent blogged in ages but don't worry, I assure you that I have been the busiest of bees recently and all will become clear!

Since the last time I wrote anything I would 100% LOVE to say that I've done all this amazing stuff but really it's been pretty slow. I guess I should start with I got a job (not too slow) I am now an apprentice at a commercial property consultants company and I love it! The people I work with are great and the job its self isn't awful.

As my job is an apprenticeship, I do still have coursework to do which means I'll still be busy after work. This shouldn't affect my blog though, I just thought I'd mention it in case it ever does.
       On the subject of posts, I actually did go through a stage where I really wanted to plan all of my posts and, not kidding, I got all the way to the end of this month so there are a loooot of posts to look forward to which I will get on with ASAP!

I think that's it for now,  I'll probably start writing tomorrow maybe and I'll upload them as I finish them so yeah,

Don't worry.. Be Happy


I worry - A LOT and I wish I didn't and it probably wont even change but maybe having a written down example as to why I shouldn't worry will give me a sort of tangible reminder that it (the worrying thing) can be fine!

So last Wednesday I had a job interview and it was extremely important to me because it's a job I really want. After applying I had to wait over 3 weeks for a reply and as it was my second time applying for the role (different recruiting schemes) I wasn't optimistic at all but I was overjoyed when I saw I had an interview. 
      I decided (even though this was in November) that I wanted to be interviewed in January as it'd give me time to acclimatise and be prepared. It did work, I felt fully confident I knew what to do in the interview. On Wednesday I was going shopping with Hollie (I've mentioned her before) and we made it back a little late. I didn't panic too much because it wasn't too far away, I then looked at my confirmation email to check what I needed to take and found that I was supposed to attend 30 minutes before the interview.. queue a major panic! 
      I met Holl at the bus stop and cried my eyes out, I was so scared that I wouldn't be interviewed because of how late I was.. by the time I got there I was about an hour late including the turning up half an hour early. To calm me down Holl decided we'd be best off walking to another bus stop that was further away and all the while she was saying so much encouraging things ('you'll be fine, loads of people turn up late', 'they're not gonna say you can't be interviewed.. they'll probably be happier you came at all rather than leaving it') but in my head it just wasn't working, I wasn't able to calm down until I got there! 
      When I eventually made it there wasn't a single thing to worry about, the security guard confirmed everything holl was saying, apparently everyone had turned up late! The interview turned out to be the best interview I could've had, one of the interviewers was a slightly older version of me, the other interviewer was dumbstruck because of it! 

The whole point of that story is that if I hadn't gone, if I didn't have my bestfriend calming me down I would have worried myself to a point of going home and regretting it for the rest of my life! Im certainly a 'when the going gets tough - the tough get going' kind of girl and I think I may always be and I don't know why.. I just really need to change it because one day I wont have people that will calm me down and I will just end up quitting and leaving it. 

The moral of this post is: You'll never know unless you try.. don't just leave something without even giving it a go because you could end up seriously regretting it! 

The other moral is: when your bestfriend tells you it'll be fine.. listen cause shes probably right!P.S. if your reading this holl, thank you so much, I honestly don't think I'd have gone if it hadn't been for you re-assuring me and convincing me it'd be fine, I cannot thank you enough, Love you!

So yeah, this was just to show that if you just try you never know what  could happen, I am for sure glad I tried and im sure you all will be!

Good bye 2014.. Hello 2015!


Now I can't exactly say this year has been a bad one because it has been full of amazing experiences and I have no regrets but at the same time I am ready to welcome 2015 with open arms, WIDE open arms. I've decided to do a recap of 2014 because not only is it nice to think over all the times I had this year, but I can share it with you guys because I started my blog over halfway through the year so yeah! Having thought about it I don't want to share the lows but just know there were some! 

2014

  • University offers - So I got offers for the universities I really wanted to go to, and even though I didn't go to university I'm still happy I got those offers. To me it meant that they thought I was potentially good enough to go to the universities. Whether that's something that would give others comfort I don't know but it makes me happy! (Similarly I found out I had enough UCAS points to go to both my choices of uni)
  • Exam Results - So on the 14th of august like most 18 year olds in the UK I was waiting with bated breath to find out my exam results.. I was really happy with them because I had passed all of my exams, while I never got even close to an A (maybe not even a B) I was still happy because as hard as I worked I didn't think I'd have passed anything so to have passed I was just really happy!
  • 18 - So this year is the year that all of my friends turned 18 (minus 1 who was already 18) and it meant there were lots of 18th birthday parties and then after I had turned 18 - great nights out! 
  • My Blog - So obviously this is a good part of my year.. I started my blog and have now been writing it for 4 months (and a bit) so Im still relatively new but I'm amazed at how far its come already.. I'm not too far off of 100 followers which to me in 4 months is great!

So this has been the main highlights of my 2014 and I mean the big things (my memory isn't the best so there are tonnes more that I can't think of) but I hope you all had a great 2014 and that 2015 is just as good if not better!

As a little footnote I'd like to add that in 2015 I would like my readers (while few.. I know you exist!) to interact more.. I would love for more readers to be leaving comments and things purely to put a name to a number! To try and kick start this I would like you to leave in the comments - what you enjoyed about 2014.. or your new years resolutions. Also don't be afraid of self promotion, if you have a blog leave me the link.. I'm always looking for more blogs to read!

New Years Resolutions #newyearnewme?


Okay so today is the 29th meaning its 2 days until new years eve, so what better idea is there than to share with you my resolutions.. I'm not going to lie I don't tend to make that many resolutions because I end up forgetting about them by the end of January but I've figured if its up on line then what excuse do I have to not do them? So yeah.. lets go!


  1. Just like every year I would like to try and reach my goal weight which I haven't decided on yet but I guess I'll know when I'm happy with what I see!
  2. I want to have done my 19 before 19 obviously because I'll turn 19 but yeah I want to have done it I'll make sure I keep you updated on how I go with that haha!
  3. Take my dog for more walks.. to be honest she's not the walking dog like she is happy enough not going for walks and she'd rather not but I think it'll be good for both of us!
  4. I want to do more with my friends as a group.. I mean they say you start the year as you mean to go on and I shall be with them (give or take a few) and we'll be drinking so what does that tell you about my year ahead?
  5. The next resolution is to eat healthier, I eat so much crap at the moment and I don't eat properly either like I don't eat breakfast all the time because I can't always be bothered. 
  6. I want to see my family more, I don't spend enough time with my family at all I only really see like my immediate family and I should spend more time with the rest because there are so many things going on but I don't know much about it all because I'm so out of the loop with it all!
  7. I want to start taking care of myself more like not just the way I eat but my sleeping pattern, what I do in a day (cause I can tell you it isn't alot)
  8. I want to start getting out of my comfort zone, like theres not a lot I'll do on my own, the furthest I go on my own (if I don't have to be on my own) is the town centre which isn't very far away just to let you know. 
So I think for me this is a lot of resolutions, like I don't usually make this many but because I'm writing a post about it I've thought about it a lot more than I would usually and this is stuff I know that I can do and they're realistic as long as I try (and I will try)! I hope 2015 is extremely good to you all Happy new year!
