It’s A New Year, It’s 2016

It’s 2016 and boy have I got an exciting, maybe slightly stressful, year ahead of me. I wanted to share these exciting moments to come as I am optimistic that it’s going to be a good year.

I guess the first thing to start with is the fact that this girl right here is turning 21 in March. I know you’re probably reading this thinking wait what she’s 20, I thought she was 18. I am indeed one of those girls who has a baby face and will get ID’d until there 30 but I mean you’ve just got to take that as a compliment. I am really looking forward to the celebrations, however I have to go to uni on my birthday which isn’t so fabulous.

The most important and exciting part of this year is that I am graduating uni and will,hopefully fingers crossed, have a job by the end of the year but I have to actually do my work and graduate first before I can even think about that. The scariest part is that the project which I have just begun, will be handed in 4 months. Yep 4 months and I’ve literally just started researching. I’m not sure I am quite ready but determined to work hard. I love to share the work I create and the final outcomes. I will be sure to share my final project with you as it’s going to be heavily styling  and menswear based which I hope will be of interest to you. This girl loves clothes, I even fall in love with the menswear pieces I pick out. If you know me personally, you’ll know that clothes are like drugs to me. Can not get enough.

As I said before I will hopefully have a job by the end of this year which terrifies me to death but I am also incredibly excited. I am determined to get a job which I enjoy enough to want to get up at 6 in the morning everyday.

The last big event that is happening this year of which I know is set in stone, Is the fact that my sister is going travelling in Australia for a year. I am so excited for her as I would never have the guts to go the other side of the world by myself. It’s going to be sad though as I will be moving back home and then not long after she’ll be jetting off to paradise. It’s going to be weird living at home and having to get used to the fact she won’t be there. However, these things happen and I would never be selfish enough to make her stay.

This year is a big one for me and I am really excited for whats to come. These are just the moments set in stone. Who knows what else is going to happen but I am looking forward to finding out!

Happy New Year to all of you and I hope you are feeling optimistic about the year ahead of you!

Being Happy

Im sure you don’t need me to tell you how to be happy as we all know what it is in life that makes us happy.

I believe that the key to life is in fact happiness and to do whatever makes you happy.

Throughout life you will meet people who tell you not to do things because you’ll regret it, it’ll be a waste of money, he’s not worth it but at the end of the day we chose to do things for a reason and if that thing makes you happy or feel good, you’re hardly going to say no or stop. In a way you kind of have to act selfish with your happiness but obviously to an extend. If going out and spending your money on a new pair of shoes every week makes you happy, do it. If you have met the man of your dreams and you want to spend time with him, do it. If you just love to lay in bed all day watching movies, do it.

You do only have one life so why not spend it they way you want to and make your own choices through life.

We’ve all done things in life which perhaps we shouldn’t have done but those things make you happy at that moment in time and i truly believe you should do what makes you happy which will contain mistakes at times but mistakes are meant to be made.

You have to live in the moment and not think about what the future holds, other wise you’ll stop yourself from doing things you’ll forever wish you did. We all do it, we all worry about the future and what will happen in all aspects of life but live in the now and be happy for now.

Me? I am very content with my life at the moment. I’m trying hard to work on my blog which i enjoy so much. I’m pushing myself to do an internship in london over the summer to gain experience for the future – effectively loosing my final summer but these things have to be done. If i didn’t have the drive to want to get a job after i finish university, i wouldn’t be doing an internship at all. Because uni always put me down when it comes to my work, I’m determined to get experience that will help me with my journey to getting a job after uni. But all in all, I’m a very happy person and try to see the good things in everything and not dwell on the bad things that happen.

How about you? What makes you happy?
