My whole life I dreamt of visiting New York City. I watched many films located in the heart of the city, fell in love with Gossip Girl and my lust to go there grew stronger. In January, I got the opportunity to visit the states with my friends from college as part of an academic trip. My dream came true. With our A-levels coming to an end it seemed right to head away on this once in a lifetime opportunity.  The only issue we encountered was when we arrived the water system in JFK airport was broken so the airport was flooded. Everyone got evacuated and we didn't receive our luggage for the whole trip! This meant on the first day we had to spend most of our time buying new clothes, which I mean is fun but when you only bring a budget of money, it kinda sucks... luckily we received our luggage back in Manchester when we arrived home. So let's get onto the fun parts of the trip. We stayed in Maddison Square Gardens in a hotel called Hotel Pennsylvania, ...

After being at university for almost two months, I've decided to write a little post on my experience so far. I love university, the studying style is so different and enjoyable, I've met some of the greatest people but also some of the not so greatest people, I've moved away from home and had a few struggles but I'm getting there and its so worth it. If you are thinking of going to uni, just give it a shot. I've always wanted to go to uni since I was young and knew I either wanted to study in teaching or something to do with writing. After doing Media Studies in high school and college I quickly fell in love with writing more and more and found a new love for wanting to become a journalist. So anyway, I'll stop telling you my life story haha, but this is my experience so far. I hope it helps you if you're deciding to go or even if you just want to see how I'm getting on. First of all, when I first joined uni I didn't think I woul...

Crisp autumn walks, pumpkins and squashes, crunchy leaves under your feet, movie nights, colour schemes and all things pumpkin spice latte and tea. The heating is on, thick duvets have made a return, cosy socks are the only thing that keeps my feet warm. Well, autumn is well under way and that means it's okay to talk about Christmas, doesn't it?  Autumn has to be the best time of year for me. Personally, the number one thing that has to come first in my favourites is Starbucks treasured autumnal drink... The Pumpkin Spice Latte. I mean, I can never get enough of the festive drink. The pumpkin spice latte makes every day better, well less colder haha. I think my most favourite thing about it, is that I'm always going to coffee shops with my two besties back home to grab it. We always meet up, or I tend to pick them up now that I have a car, and we just chat about our lives. It genuinely just makes this time of the year so special and nice. Honestly if you have n...

Hey, It's Chloe here. Recently I had a crazy idea to start my own blog, so here I am writing an intro about myself haha, I'm praying I don't mess this up :) I love writing; whether it being about my travels in Amsterdam or my travels to NYC, or even times where I get an artsy shot on my Nikon camera. Every little moment and memory, I love to write about it. So seeing as I love it, I might as well share it with you...  Amsterdam 2017 - adventure of a lifetime! In September I started my degree in Journalism at UCLan , which is an obvious reason to start my own blog and get some of my writing out there. I love my course, it's ace and so much better than I expected it to be. If you are uncertain on whether you want to go to university or not, I'd say just give it a go... you never know how amazing it could be. I made friends pretty much straight away which to be honest was the most scary part for me moving to university... I wanted to fit in. Whe...
