Summer has Begun

My second year of university just flew by and the summer holidays are finally here. James' sister has just had her wedding,  we're off on holiday to Fuertuventura on Tuesday, there are festivals to dance at and then my biggest solo adventure to date- volunteering in Tanzania.

One of my favourite things to do when the weather gets warmer is going on little nature-filled adventures! (some may call them country side walks..). I love getting lost in wanders this world has to offer and exploring unknown places. Recently, we stumbled upon a beautiful route right outside my small town; there's no need to travel to the ancient pyramids to see wanders, we just have to open our eyes a little.

What are you up to this summer and your favourite things to do?

First Year at #Roey

I am no longer a Fresher!

This first year at university has been the most hectic, life-changing, amazing, confusing and crazy. I originally had my heart set on the university of Bournemouth. However, after being accepted into BU, I just did not feel ready to move so far away; results day was very stressful for me but I made the decision to reject Bournemouth and  here we are at Roehampton University- just 15 minutes from the heart of London.

I found a flat and shared with 3 other lovely girls but as my family home was only 45 minutes away, (and at the time of moving out my mum was admitted into hospital), I found myself being at home for the majority of the weeks. I was also travelling home to visit my boyfriend/he would be down so often and after a few months, I moved back to my hometown; saving a lot (A LOT) of money. I was well suited to commuter life - I'll make a whole post on commuter life/tips it the future- but it doesn't mean that my student and social life was affected; I made sure I still attended all my lectures and the uni events.

I am studying Mass Communication, which is a combination of media, culture and journalism; adding a bit of variety into my studying. The lectures and seminars could sometime drag, that's the learning experience I guess... Thankfully I had a great bunch of classmates and good friends to make it bearable. OH AND I PASSED WITH A 2:1!!!!!

This post was really just about looking back on this year and how much of a different path I took to what I planned this time last year. Uni has created so many memories this year (below are a few snippets) and I am super grateful. I start my second year in two weeks and although I know it will be mostly work and no play; I know it's going to be a good one :)
