Back to School and September Goals

Hello Earthlings,

In the upcoming week I shall be returning back to sixth form, as will many others into school and sixth form and university and whatnot, which is why I decided to write a post on the whole concept of going back to school. I'm looking forward too being back in a routine however I'm not so keen on the early mornings and actually going back to school - sleep sounds so much more appealing. But I am looking forward to the days getting more autumnal and of course, the build up to Christmas which is naturally a very exciting time.

I thought I'd address some common back to school feelings, many people dread going back to school, and not just because of having to leave their bed, I have experienced this before and it just makes you feel really low because you have to spend so much time in one place surrounded by the same people day in day out. I don't advise you to get out of school, it is scary to think that in this day and age a lot of our future depends on how we do during our teenage years. I urge you to not let other people control your happiness, you deserve to be happy when you are in and out of school - if you have people who are making you feel unhappy, please just find some support from anywhere. Whether it be family, someone in school, someone in a workplace, online friends or anyone; just please get support. There are so many people out there who will listen to you, I promise. You shouldn't have to dread going to school because of other people, you only have one chance to get this right so pretty please don't mess it up because of other people. 

A big task for me this year is applying for universities which means the joys of writing a personal statement. I can't say I'm enjoying this as I'm not really good at making myself sound absolutely amazing because that just isn't the type of person that I am. I thought I would mention this as I'm sure many people feel the same way. My advice would be to keep going as I'm sure we'll all get there at some point soon. 

I have seen a few blog posts with September goals in them so I decided to set myself some in order to get back into productivity and organisation.

1. Finish the blogs that I have started to write in bulk so I'm not rushing last minute and feeling unhappy with them. 

2. Start year 13 with a positive attitude and maintain the positive attitude to enable me to do my very best this school year.

3. Work harder at healthy eating and look for more healthy meals so I have half a chance at sticking to this healthy eating malarkey. Wish me luck!

I definitely feel that the way I have set the goals out feels a little bit like a Georgia Nicolson diary entry, speaking of which it terrifies me that when I first saw the film I was 9 and the girls then were about 14 maybe ("enjoy being fourteen?!" is a key line that I remember) but now I'm 17 and I just feel a teeny tiny bit old. 

So, I wish you all the best of luck in your first week of school!

Until next week,
Lia x 

P.S. As I was looking for inspiration for what to use as my picture this week I came across this quote on Pinterest which fits with what I was saying previously, so enjoy :)

Phrases I Hate

Hey Earthlings! We all have those phrases or quotes or sometimes just words that when we hear them it makes our blood boil and our neck do that funny thing where you kind of go "bleurghuohui". You know what I mean? I've taken a few of them, listed them here and told you exactly why I hate them. Let me know if there's some more you hate. "There's someone out there worse off than you" Yes, this may be the case and I hope they come out of their situation feeling all the joys of spring but just because there is someone out there with more issues than you're feeling, it does not mean your experiences and feelings are invalid. If you are trying to comfort someone and make them feel better about their situation in what way is, "ah well don't worry, Tina down the road is way worse off than you are" going to make them feel better? EXACTLY. It won't. End of, let's just entirely blow this phrase away. "Respect your elders"...

Goodbye 2018, Hello 2019

Hello Earthbugs! I'm back and hopefully this upcoming year will be a lot better post wise than 2018, if I tell you the truth I don't really know what happened. Quite a few times during 2018 I felt all out of sorts and not really motivated to do anything, which for me is horrible because I thrive off having a goal to get and so on. Writing has always been a passion of mine and my blog allows me to have my own little space on the internet which I have always loved the idea of so 2019 is definitely the year that I attempt to throw myself back into blogging. I hope you're happy to come along on that journey with me! I decided to combine the goodbye 2018 post and hello 2019 post instead of doing separate posts this time, so feel free to grab yourself a cup of tea or something stronger if you like and let's go. 2018. I think I can safely say that 2018 hasn't been the year for my family, we have gone through a lot of battles and hard times and somehow come out of t...

Twenty

Hello Earthlings! As I sit and type this I'm tucked up cosy in bed and listening to the wind batter everything in sight, and it doesn't matter that today I turned 20 because the wind still scares me so I'm still going to tuck up as tight as I can and try my best to ignore it after I've typed this. But, anyway! Hi. Birthdays are a funny thing, you know they're going to happen and you know that you get older but they're a bit odd. When I was little, I looked forward to being a teenager which in itself is completely barmy (maybe I'm the only one intimidated by groups of teenagers...), and I always thought "13 is such a grown up age!!!" because 6 year old me was clearly clueless. I remember a particular time where I stood looking out of my bedroom window, in the house I lived in as a young child, wistfully into the distance (you know like they do on films where it gets to a real deep moment?) and couldn't wait for 13 to arrive so I could be a ...
