Choosing a uni...

Dear UCAS,

As some of you may know next year I will leave school and I am hopefully heading for university. But, what scares me the most is that I have no clue what I will be doing yet and I have less than a few days to decide. My sixth forms deadline for UCAS was last Friday and I am not usually one for missing deadlines but to me it didn't feel right to sign off my future just because I had to. I am only 17 years old, how am I supposed to know what I want to be doing with the rest of my life. Physically, I am seventeen but emotionally and mentally I still feel like I should be running around a playground playing hopscotch without a care in the world. Life was so much simpler when I was younger. I have so many questions regarding which uni I should choose that in reality only I can answer. At the minute the worst thing for me is seeing all my friends send off their applications and already getting back offers, when I am still on my sixth draft of my personal statement. But, this is really bugging me, along with a few other things I wont go into on here, but I am always known as the happy one in my group at college who never gets pissed off or upset but lately I have been anything but. How am I meant to know how far I want to go away from home when I have never been away for more than a few days, let alone three years. How am I supposed to know what courses I want to do when I now can't stand the subject I thought I wanted to do. I guess what I am saying is that I just don't know anymore. I don't know what to do. Sometimes I think I am just going to go to uni because I have nothing else to do if I don't go, yet I felt the exact same way about going to sixth form. But, sixth form has probably been the best thing that's ever happened to me. I've made the best friends that I have ever had and I don't want to leave. It's been the best two years of my life but I guess I am just not ready for it to be over. So, I am sure that I will be fine and whatever choice I make will be for the best and we'll see what happens from there.

Its that time again.....September

Hello everyone,

So today is Thursday 5th September and that means that most people are back at school after the summer holidays.

I went back to school yesterday and I am now in year 11 which is quite daunting. I've only been back at school for two days and I am pretty nervous about what is going to happen in my life throughout the next year.

For starters this weekend I am starting to look at colleges/sixth forms so I know which one I would like to go to once I've done my GCSE'S. I think that the A-levels I want to do are media studies, sociology, English language and business studies. Although I'm not sure if I will feel the same way about it in a few months time!

When I was in year 10 I didn't really bother revising as I knew that the mock exams I did weren't going to impact on my final grade. But now that I'm in year 11 it has kind of hit me about how much work I am going to have to do. Which probably means that I probably wont have a social life outside of school anymore.

I have never really been one of those people who stresses out about school, I sort of just like to get it out the way so I don't need to think about it anymore. So, I am hoping that when I do get piled up with work I can come on here and do the thing I love the most at the moment which is blogging!

Since, I first started my blog, which is coming up for 2 months ago in a few weeks, I don't think I really knew how much I was going to love it. A blog had been something I had wanted to do for a while but never really got around to it, but I'm so glad I did. I have found so many amazing blogs which I love reading and I love that there's other people out there who enjoy doing the same things I do!

For example -

 Alice - makeupandmagazines.blogspot.com

I don't know what it is but when I read Alice's blog I just love it - when I look at her posts I know that we have similar taste and I would go for similar things. Also, her blog is just so well put together and looks amazing so please check her out!

 Another person who's blog I really like is Marie-Claire's she also has a YouTube channel and uploads videos quite regularly - I found her videos when Tanya Burr liked one of her videos and she is so so nice and really funny. She does beauty/ fashion videos and reminds me a bit of Zoe Sugg from Zoella .

Even though I don't have time to post everyday, I find myself coming up with more ideas for posts! I just love it so much and I look forward to writing new posts and reading other peoples blogs to see what everyone else is loving at the moment and taking tips from them.

I'm very sorry for that massive amount of rambling I did, I just sat down to write a blog post on the first thing that came to me and once I started typing I just couldn't stop! s

If you managed to read all of this then thank you so much!!!!

see you all next time and please leave comments telling me what you thought!

Bye
Love el xxx
