The One Where She Decides That She Should Probably Get Back To Blogging (Because It's Been A While)

Hello again!
As this post's title suggests, as I've now finished university for the summer, I feel as though I really should start writing some more blog posts, as - to be completely honest - I'm not too short on time.
I kind-of need to get a job, nowhere will hire me (but that's a story for another day...) 

Anyway, I'm not really too sure what to write here. It's as though not blogging for such a length of time has made me devoid of any actual ideas for a blog post.

So, please, if you're reading this, suggest something to me?? Please??

On a sidenote, I'm wearing a dress today. I hardly ever wear dresses.
It's actually been warm and dry here for a whole week now and it's amazing.
A whole week. 
It was 29 degrees celsius earlier, and my mum nearly cried with happiness.
I kid you not.

Anyway, I'm wearing a dress, and it's swooshy, and I've decided that I now love swooshy dresses.
(Please ignore the fact that 'swooshy' is not an actual word). 
This is a shock to me as I've never really been a dress fan and people have always had to force me into them for events and stuff.

But now I've decided that I like them. And, being short, this is an issue. Because I always end up liking dresses that aren't meant to be long but on me look ridiculously long and pretty much drown me in fabric.
Please say that someone else also has this issue??

I also have to note that it's taken me a fair while to write this post as I keep getting distracted by my Spotify playlist. Kind-of an "I must stop, as this is an awesome song that requires my full attention" situation.
It's happened at least 5 times now.

Also, I've started doing Sudoku again, because I used to do it all the time (great procrastination method!!) and forgot just how invigorating (yet frustrating) it actually is.

Anyway, I will leave you be now. Sorry for the ramble!

'Speak' soon (I promise!)

You Know What: I Said It - This Is Not For Me...

*Forewarning: I had a bit of wine before writing this, so apologies for any errors or rambles*

So, as most of you probably know, I'm a student.
I go to university.

As most of you probably don't know, I'm not a massive fan of clubbing.
But, apparently, as a student, this is unnatural.

Don't get me wrong, I have been out clubbing since starting at university, but I just don't understand the hype.

Ok, so I'll have a pretty good night - most of the time.
Sometimes I'll even have a great night.

But so will I if I go to the cinema, or the pub, or a little quaint cafe.
If I go for a walk in the woods, or on a trip to the seaside, or eat a whole pizza...

But, at least if I do any of these things (*minus the pub, because y'know...*), I'll remember it in the morning and won't feel as though I've been punched in the face etc. etc. ...

And, don't get me wrong, I don't hate alcohol.
I'm really happy sitting in a pub, or a beer garden, or in someone's house, drinking cider or whisky, or wine...

But, basically, the purpose of this (pointless ramble of a) post is to shout to the world that, even though I'm a student, in all honesty, I'm not a massive fan of clubbing.
And I'm not afraid to admit it.

Somewhere in America - The Power of the spoken word

I just wanted to share this video with you all.  It was released over a year ago, so some of you may already have seen it - but if not, I really recommend a watch.

The spoken word is a powerful thing - and here it is used expertly to express what so many of us are thinking.
Even as a non-American citizen, I feel more empowered than ever before to stand up for what's right.

I know there are a lot of similar videos circulating; a lot of [young] individuals standing up and speaking their minds at debate rallies, at school assemblies, at poetry slams... Speaking out for OUR world, and OUR lives, and OUR futures.
For we must speak out, or nothing will change. Because speaking out leads to solidarity. It brings the world together.

And right now, that's something that we really need...
