Mad Month! (September - October)

Hello, my lovelies!

So much has happened this month that I thought I would share it with you in a ‘life’ blog post. Before I begin, I would just like to say that if you would like to see me blog about a certain make-up brand, song, or aspect of life, I will do my best to cover it for you. Also, if you are interested in reading a post about panic attacks, let me know and I’ll give it my all to write something about things that could help you with coping with them.

I’ve been at college for just over a month now but it honestly feels like it’s been so much longer (in a good way!) I have had the opportunity to make new friends and I am now close to quite a few of them. I enjoy all of my subjects now (even art) and I feel like these next 2 years may not be as difficult as I thought they would be. However, if you do happen to think that taking 4 coursework based subjects means that you don’t have to do much revision or work, you are very wrong and if you say it to my face, I will have a breakdown. The amount of coursework I’ve been carting home is ridiculous and I now not only have a messy room full of clothes, but a messy room full of paint and card and glue. I have now taken to having a mat permanently laid out across my carpet in my room! Although it is a lot of work, I’m so glad that I took those subjects and chose to go to my college; it sounds cliche but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Here are some pictures of me looking like a mess with my friends at college and my messy arty room:






In college, we have a day called ‘Collegiate Day’ when “the whole community comes together to compete against each other in an academic, physical, and creative battle to win the title of 1st place for their house!” Before it started, I was adamant that nobody would care, just as they wouldn’t have cared in secondary school. I was wrong. At least 10 people in both tasks I went to took the challenges very seriously (my tasks were ‘Make-Overs’ and ‘Cupcake Decorating’ so you can see the level of ‘seriousness’ we had to have there) and they almost ran the whole thing by themselves which I’m not complaining about at all. Without that push, I probably would have eaten the cupcakes before the challenge began. The ending of collegiate day was really something, though. We were all directed into our little canteen (the whole year group – it’s quite a large year group) to get the results. In secondary school, when we had to wait for results, we would be told to stay silent so it was quite a shock for me when I saw people standing on tables, screaming out their house names and practically jumping on top of each other! After all that, however, my house didn’t even bloody win!

I also organised a little meet up with people from my secondary school where we went to the Harvester and had a chat about our colleges. It was great to see them all as some of them I hadn’t seen properly since we left secondary. It’s great knowing that I can make new friends in a new environment and still keep some great ones that I made in 5 years of growing up in secondary school. Here is a picture of me and one of my lovely friends at the harvester:



Before that (and I have briefly mentioned this in a post before) I went to a very good friend of mine’s birthday gathering where I met some of the most lovely people. I met my ‘DMC buddy’ and got to see some people I hadn't seen in a year. Here are some pictures from that too (to the people that were there…sorry if I've embarrassed you!):














One of the people I met at the gathering was lovely enough to invite me and my best friend to her 17th birthday party last night and it was amazing! I know that it was amazing mainly because my legs are in a fair bit of pain, my shoes (my mum’s shoes actually…oh dear) are very muddy, and my ears are still buzzing. I’m so happy that I saw all of the friends I made at the gathering there and met some new people there too. At times, I felt awkward, but I knew it didn't matter how awkward I felt because I was putting myself out there and making friends on my own for the first time in ages. Here are some photos from last night:
















I know some people may read this blog and think “this girl is so strange!” Yes. Yes I am strange. But I am incredibly proud to say that I no longer care and meeting all of these new people and getting invited to all of these different places gives me the confidence to not care and also to realise that people appreciate that sometimes.

Thank you for reading this, guys.
I love you all very much.

BIG MIDGET GIRL HUGS!
