That Girl with that Blog

Hello Earthlings, For the next couple of weeks I have decided to focus a bit on optimising productivity, this ties in a bit with my post last week about not really getting anywhere, you can catch up here . I like to view this as kind of taking last week's post and turning it into something positive. This post is a bit late, yet we could also look at it as being early for this week, being optimistic and all that(!) but the truth is, is I've had this typed up for a couple of weeks and I keep trying to tweak it so it reads nicely and whatnot but it doesn't go that well. So, here is a topsy-turvy post about procrastination and social media.  Whilst talking to my Mum a couple of weeks ago, the conversation drifted onto the topic of procrastination and social media and it inspired me to write this. As I procrastinate quite a lot, I don't mean to do it and I get very deflated when I have spent "all day" working on something but still haven't finished it. When...

Hello Earthlings, I missed a week and felt terrible for it but I am back. The truth is, is that last week on posting day (Thursday) I wasn't feel good. Not in a sicky way, but I was kinda mopey and didn't really know what to type. My initial post idea had failed me, or so I thought as I reread it and concluded it wasn't the best it could be...over and over again. Now, I have decided that it was in fact okay and will be published after this. I don't want to call this a catch up post and to be honest I didn't really feel like writing it out but as my Mum pointed out someone else may benefit from reading this. As you know I commute to university, I get on the train which takes around 20 minutes and then walk the half hour walk from the station to my campus. I tend to get there early, mainly because I dread having to walk into a full lecture hall and have over 200 pairs of eyes staring at me, but also because I find a place in the library to catch up on some notes o...

Hello Earthlings, I know that this is kinda weird for me to write a post to past me because I'm only 18 so I evidently still have a lot of learning to do but I also feel like from when I wrote a Dear Future Self post, which you can read here , I have learnt a lot. This isn't me answering my Dear Future Self blog as that clearly says Dear 21 year old Lia so we are just gonna wing this as it comes.  Dear Past Lia, As you sit here now you are still only 18, and you counted down to turning 18 for a very long time. In fact, when you were a lot younger you thought 13 was a really grown up age because you would be a teenager and obviously you would know everything. That is never going to be the case, at 18 you are still getting things wrong. You are also still having very stupid moments but your hair colour has always, and still, been blamed for that, "you can tell it isn't out of a bottle". The most grown up thing you have done since being 18 is going for an a...
