University Chat & Re vamp of Blog

Hey,

This feels very strange writing on this blog as I haven't posted in several years. To be quite honest, I have almost had the urge to post on various occasions and I almost made an entirely new blog because this blog is evokes memories of my young fourteen year old self.

I am nineteen now, and I have a completely new outlook and my style and aesthetic has changed so much so that the urge to rejuvenate. I made the decision to stick to this one because this is where I started and where I want to continue. There will be a lot of changes over the next few weeks possibly with the name and the style because I would really love to continue to write on here throughout my time at university and I am very particular about the image I'd like to portray. I am going to post whatever I fancy- from fashion, to books, food or photography, a whole abundance of randomness.

I may even publish some short stories because I absolutely love writing, and I became so afraid to put my work out there in case of negative opinions and people from school reading and taking the piss, but I've decided that I don't care anymore. I want to live my life exactly the way I want to without having the worry of what other people think and I want to advocate that to any budding writers and to everyone in general, if you have a passion do not be afraid to showcase exactly what you want. It's your life. My outlook has changed so much over the past few months as I am now suddenly realising in my darkest of places how important it is to look after yourself and to do what you want, and my passion is writing. It has been a hobby and an ambition of mine for so many years but my fear of judgement prevented me from writing on here for example, because something you should know about me is that I hate being criticised, even constructive criticism on an essay that I have written.

It is fair to say that there is so much that has changed over the years about myself so here, I will summarise my current state. I am a 2nd year student at Cardiff University studying English Literature, I am part of a netball team, I work part time in a restaurant during my studies, I contribute to Cardiff's student magazine. I am contemplating taking up something new such as aerial fitness or lacrosse! I am also looking at potentially doing a semester abroad or volunteering over the summer for a few weeks, and doing some work experience in industry that I am interested in such as marketing or publishing. My favourite artists are currently ABRA, Jorja Smith, The 1975, Tame Impala, Anderson Paak., WILLOW,  Jungle, SZA just to name a few. I shop primarily in Bershka, Pull and Bear, Missguided, New Look and Primark. Current favourites on TV/Netflix are Ru Pauls Drag Race (never thought I would see the day), A-Typical, The Vampire Diaries (re-watching), Black Mirror (re-watching as well), and looking at many more on my to watch list. I am currently reading The Accidental by Ali Smith and Jude the Obscure for my university course, and The Idiot by Elif Bauteman as a non-university read. My favourite magazine to read currently is Oh Comely/Oh. I am going through quite a big change in my life that is making me more aware of myself and my mental health, and I feel like I may document some of it on here as some such of guidance for people as well as just for my own benefit, as it's such an important topic that is extremely overlooked.

At the present moment, you would find me in my room with a cup of tea procrastinating underneath two blankets and daydreaming about being on a beach with a cocktail, and nice company.

The above image is one of me in Cardiff Arcades, one of my favourite locations to browse the vintage shops, cafes and amazing bookshops.

If there are any posts that people would like to see from me, feel free to drop a message! I will post as regularly as I can, hopefully at least once a week. I will try and schedule a few posts as this period is heaving with deadlines, reading and working.

Thank you so much for reading!
