Many students are at the stage I was two years ago. Deciding whether they want to go to university or if they want to go straight into a job or even an apprenticeship.  I have always wanted to go to university, its been a dream of mine since being a child and I'm finally here and already in my second year. Time goes so quickly. So the big question is... is university really worth it? Personally to me the answer is a big yes.  Everyone has different experiences at university whether your experience is about making friends or going on a night out; they are great experiences but also university itself is such an amazing experience.  When deciding on the university I wanted to go to, I made sure I chose one where I felt at home. This was a big factor in my decision making because I'm so close to my family and I've only ever lived with my mum and dad so to go from living with them to moving away I knew it would affect me and I needed all the home comfo...

As many of you know, I recently had my hair cut short. I wouldn't say it is a bob but for what I'm used to, it is quite short for me haha. I went for the chop a few weeks back and decided to donate my hair to the Little Princess Trust as I had about 12 inches cut. Rather than wasting it and throwing it away I thought it would be a great idea to pass it on to the charity so that a wig can be made from my hair. The Little Princess Trust is a charity who create wigs from donated real hair to give to children and young people with hair loss and they also raise money to fund vital research into childhood cancer.  They offer wigs to anyone up to the age of 24 who has lost their hair due to cancer or other conditions that cause hair loss. I personally think this charity is amazing for what they do and how they help children feel confident again when they have lost their hair.  This is one of the main reasons why I decided to help out the charity by giving them ...

I'm back! Happy Thursday, I hope you're all having a lovely week.  This week for me has been the worst week ever and I'm so glad its almost the weekend because I need a rest from uni and I need to have some fun.  As you can tell by the title, today's blog post is all about my university flat and what it looks like! Last year I lived in an accommodation that I liked but definitely did not love. It was small, so so so unmodernised and I had to share a bathroom and I will never ever put myself through that again haha. This year I'm living in the Tramshed which is privately rented to students of UCLan and its a dream. It feels like home when I'm away from my family and that is exactly what I needed. So first of all my desk area. I love this area because it is where I spend most of my time working and getting things done on my to do list. The photo wall is my favourite part of my desk area because if I'm feeling sad and homesick I just l...
