1 month until university...

-

So, the countdown begins… I have just over a month until university. I am moving to Newcastle on the 26th September, and I am extremely excited! There are obviously some nerves and a few worries but I am trying to put them behind me, but for the most part I am excited!

I am extremely lucky that I have an incredible group that I have become so close with over lockdown, and it makes me a lot more comfortable about making friends going into uni, a special mention to Jodie, Esta and Harry (I know you read these posts and I love you all for it), who have just made me look forward to university that much more! Needless to say, everyone in the group is incredible. I have also been lucky that I have been an admin for NCL applicants for about 6 months now, and it has been a pleasure getting to know people! As well as this, I have actually gone to meet a few people who I am spending the next year(s) with, and as this goes live, I’m meeting another one of my closest friends!

Next, I am off for the big IKEA shop tomorrow, something I have always looked forward to in the years leading up to uni! I have a few ideas for my room but I am just planning on keeping it minimalist and monochrome, with a few plants and photos. I think a room tour will be coming to the blog in early/mid October but my plan before I leave is to bulk write posts, so we will have to see! I am not releasing the actual accommodation I am in because of privacy reasons, but I do have an en-suite, something which I wasn’t expecting but was allocated, so it makes me very happy!

After I move in, teaching actually doesn’t start for 3 weeks so I get time to get myself used to the city as well as preparing for when the teaching actually does begin. My plan is to just get back into a routine, get used to living on my own and get into the gym! (I know who am I?) After starting to get into a fitness routine during lockdown, I have been itching to start the gym. It does make me nervous as I’ve never actually been to the gym before but I am looking forward to trying out. Everyone says university is about trying something new and for me this is just the start!

I am starting to prepare for university already, at the start of lockdown I started on some of the psychology basics in preparation but I lost motivation with it. My plan as of September when my parents are working and my sister is in college is to start on some prep and I am hoping I have a reading list in time so I can get a head start on it! I am actually really excited to start working on academics again, I’m such a geek! I do just want to wish everyone the best of luck for the new academic year, whether you’re in secondary, college/sixth-form or university like myself!

How are you feeling about the next academic year? Do you have any goals for the year, if so, let’s have a chat in the comments! Have the best week,

    Oh I wish you so much luck! I wish it was in happier times. I remember how I felt about going off to school and how excited I was.

summer skincare routine

-

Skincare is usually not something I care too much about, and as I do have pretty clear skin. However, I have wanted to have a routine in place, as I am trying to reduce the amount of break outs I have! I mean, what a great time to be writing this, considering I have just broken out with a few spots around my nose! I don't own a lot of skincare products, and its just because my skin rarely needs a full, deep cleanse, but these products I use on a daily basis. In the morning, I will only apply the last 3 products, just because I don't usually have a lot of time to focus on skincare! In the evenings, I start by taking off my makeup with the Garnier Micellar Water and a cotton pad, which thoroughly takes off my makeup, meaning I can skip the stage of cleansing. If I am feeling lazy however, I just remove my makeup with a makeup wipe. I then hydrate my face with the Mario Badescu Facial Spray, which helps my skin from not going dry in the summer months. This also gi...

3 ways to make your spotify 'aesthetic'

-

Music is something that makes me so happy, and you find me listening to it a lot of the time (as I’m writing this I have my summer playlist on), whether that be with my airpods in and being respectful to everyone, blasting out my records, or just having a party in my room (this happens more often than not!). I use and update my spotify account regularly, and like to keep it as ‘aesthetic’ as possible, and there are ways to do this. I will link my spotify below if you’d like any inspiration 😊 1.       Update your playlists regularly. New songs are released weekly, and you can often find songs that you forget about but never add them to playlists. By updating playlists, it means you’re not having the same selection of songs on repeat, which can eventually get boring. As well as adding new songs, removing songs you don’t like as much anymore or don’t fit a certain vibe in a playlist, it can help you to enjoy some playlists a lot more, rather than having to ski...

  Hello and welcome back to the blog, or welcome if you are new! I’m here with another extra collab post, I have been working with Vivian and Sairah from iridescent.photo.blog to bring you this cross over collab! The girls have just finished secondary school and are about to start sixth form/college, and I have just finished sixth form, I got my A-Levels (literally yesterday as I’m writing this). So, I am writing a letter to my 16 year old self, of what I wish I’d known, and the girls will write a letter to their 18 year old selves, which they can refer back to when they are in my position! I will link all of their socials, as well as their blog and post down below! Dear Amelia, I know you’re petrified to start sixth form in a brand-new place, with so many new people, and with a dress code that you’re not so keen on! But I tell you now, you’re going to enjoy the 2 years (most of the time) and you actually really like the dress code once you put your own spin on it! The bi...
