I SENT MY FIRST COLLEGE APPLICATION FORM OFF!!!!

If you are in year 11 you are probably in the middle of making the big decision of whether to go to sixth form, college or maybe an apprenticeship. I know for a fact that I would like to go to a college or the sixth form at my school but at the moment I don't know which one. A couple of minutes ago I sent off a college application to one of my number one choices. Honestly it was extremely nerve-racking as its kind of like sending off your future. It included my choices of A-levels and a 500 character personal statement. To some it might seem weird that I'm so nervous about what college I might be going to but personally it is a massive deal to me. I go to a single-sex school which means I feel like I am lacking a social life and of course I want to go to a school with a high standard of grades. It all seems like a little bit too much to handle.

If you are like me and have no clue what school you want to go to I suggest applying to a load of places and then seeing how many places you get into. You have no limit as to how many schools you can apply to because you apply to them all individual. I am sure that the list of places I get into will be short and so this will allow me a better idea of what school to pick.

I hope this gave you a bit of insight about how I feel about picking colleges. It might have even helped you a little.

OMG I have STRETCH MARKS?

So I recently found out that I have stretch marks. Yes, stretch marks. I only ever thought that stretch marks were things that pregnant woman got but apparently not. They can happen to anybody who's skin is stretching at a rapid rate - it often happens when a lot of weight is put on quickly. It just so happens that I have stretch marks. It just so happens that I put on a lot of weight when I was around 14. At first I freaked out and thought that they were really ugly but I think I have got over that now. I realised that a lot of people regardless of whether you can see them or not. They're a beautiful thing and a part of you that you can't change so you might as well embrace them. I hope that you all think that you are beautiful whether you have stretch marks or not.

Losing the Will

I have not updated any of my blogs in ages and there isn't really an excuse except for the fact I am losing the will to do anything. I only have a few exams left but I'm struggling to even care whether I do well in those. Knowing that most Americans are off school now is seriously making me question the British education system as the next 7 weeks will drag a lot. I just want to be on holiday all ready relaxing and stay there. There is the daunting thought in the back of mind of 'I'm going to be Year 11' as well as the constant reminder of the teachers telling us. I've counted 17 exams in total next year, not including coursework. Its a scary thought. I just want to press pause on my life. Unfortunately thats not possible but I wish it was. Next year I will be sure to crack down and work as hard as I can so I can achieve what I need to. Ahhhhhh, if only.

Exams

So we are currently in exam season in the UK and its horrible. I hate sitting in silence, the tension between students, the awkwardness of the examiners walking between the tables. Its when you regret finish three seasons of Gossip Girl instead of revising Science. I am trying my best to walk in with positive thoughts as I find that helps me focus more - I would also say that not talking about the exam afterwards also helps. I hope that your exams are going well for you. What have you been doing?

Conchita Wurst: The Queen of Europe

If you are not from Europe you may not understand what Eurovision is.It is an annual singing competition where most European countries send their best singers to compete for the trophy. 

This year was a bit different as there was a lot of more conflict between countries. For example the two 17 year olds sisters from Russia were constantly booed whenever they were awarded points. To be honest i thought that Europe would be above that as it is not those two young girls fault what has happened. 

But the most exciting part by far was finding out the winner. The winner was from Austria and called 'Conchita Wurst' which roughly translates to Vagina Penis. She was quickly dubbed the 'Queen of Europe.' Her speech was amazing, talking of freedom and equality. 

It was beautiful and I think her victory was something that Europe really needed. If anything I hope it can give people time to think about what is going on and how we should be giving each other love rather than hate. I hope next year can be just as good.

Triangl Bikini's Compulsion

I have been pulled into the fashion world once again by Tumblr and have found out about Triangl bikini's. First of all, WHY DOES IT NOT HAVE AN E AT THE END, I DON'T UNDERSTAND. And second of all, why are they so nice? I have been looking for a new long-lasting bikini this year and I think I have found the one I might buy. They have interesting, bright patterns and suit a lot of different body shapes. 10/10 recommend anyone looking for a new bikini. Where have you bought your bikini from this year?

Comedy Vines

So I am sure you have all heard of the app, Vine. A vine is "A short video, usually 5 to 10 seconds long of compiled clips of random stuff." I have recently signed up to it and I am obsessed. I follow some seriously hilarious people for example Nash Grier, Lele Pons and Josh Peck. If you are in the need of a pick me up you can go to the comedy page and watch for hours. Some of them just seem so out of the ordinary but so amazing. If I were you I would sign up straight away (but only if you want to procrastinate).
