Freshers comes to an end (enter emotional blog here)

So I woke up this morning in a room that's bare after my parents came to start moving me out yesterday and took all my photos off the wall. While I was taking those photos off my wall I realised how many amazing people I've met this year and how much I've changed as a person. I came to uni not even knowing how to boil pasta and last week I made toad in the hole from scratch, my nan would be proud. But it's not just my cooking skills that have changed, I've grown up so much and my view on life and relationships has definitely changed thanks to a few certain people. I've learnt to forgive and forget, and that maybe slapping someone in the middle of liquid windsor isn't the cleverest idea no matter how good it feels. But most of all I discovered a group of people that to me are my family, my society. My fresher girls who I love more than anything and who I know will always be there no matter how many times I mess up, the older members of my society, my two mothers kelly and lois who I adore and who I forever run to for advice and my two big brother type figures mr payne and twinny sterlz, I love you boys. Will, guru in my life I thank you for your words of wisdom and your music advice. Peter and Brad, as much as you boys annoy me I know you'd always be there no matter what and for that I'm always grateful. Sarah you are mental and I wouldn't change you for the world, you brighten every single one of my days. Kate...what can I say your strut makes my life a better place and that time when your shoes were fit and I had come up my arse will never get old. Finally Hayley Mcdowell without you this year would have been so much duller, you are my best friend here and I don't know what I'd do without you. Those moments when I sit crying on your toilet while you wipe the make up off my face to me are priceless and I will never forget them.

Thank you Royal Holloway, thank you fresher year, I'll see you in September...

Making amends, harder than it looks

So, people are telling me to just make amends and forgive and forget. If only it was that easy. If I didn't have to look at the one thing that makes my stomach do somersaults any time I wanted to spend time with my own society maybe it would be easier. Ofcourse I want everything to go back to normal and for this massive rift to go but it takes two people to make things okay, it takes two people to apologise for doing wrong and life in general is a two way street. I love my society more than anything and I hope people know that

One for sorrow, two for joy...

So for the last few days I've been seeing just one magpie wherever I look, and thanks to the superstitious rhyme one for sorrow two for joy I have been going round wallowing in my "one for sorrow" way of life BUT today there I was in the car driving from lunch when I looked out the car window and 2 magpies flew down, at almost the same time good old Bonnie Tyler came on the radio singing the famous words "I'm holding out for a hero". At this point I was convinced fate was trying to tell me something, clearly if I hold on for a bit longer my hero will come and find me, now I'm not expecting prince harry or anyone like that but a nice Italian Stallion or maybe fit guy in the window opposite will eventually wave at me when I wake up one morning and my love life will start looking up again. Now I know some people will think it's just superstitious mumbo jumbo but I don't think anyone should underestimate the power of the magpie, magpies are very dangerous birds if their superstitious rhyme is not taken seriously and I like to think that these signs are maybe a sign from someone telling me to hang on in there and everything will start looking up again. So yes thank you Mr Magpie and thank you Bonnie. May the holding out for my hero begin...

Parents...

We love them to death we really do but sometimes I wish to god they'd just stop ranting at you! I came home for some peace and quiet not to have my ear chopped off asking the exact question in every exam I took and what to the smallest detail was the reason I broke up with my boyfriend. Sometimes I just wanna yano lay in bed and say nothing about the matter. Forget about it not re live it every second of the day. So please parents we love you but realise when we don't wanna talk

Home sweet home

I love that feeling you get when you've been at uni for 3 weeks drowning in the lovely revision that you have to do, not finding time to go to the launderette to the point where you find yourself turning your underwear inside out and then you get home AND YOU HAVE NOTHING TO DO. Hmmmm what shall I cook for dinner OH NOTHING BECAUSE MUM'S DOING IT. And the sheer novelty of a washing machine that you don't need to spend hours trying to force to take your coins is frankly unbelievable. Eating in a kitchen that isn't grease ridden watching AN ACTUAL TELEVISION. Really university is a form of slum for some people, I mean yes I cook decent meals now, I've roasted a chicken every night for the past month because it's the most exciting food I have mastered to date, but that doesn't matter because I'm doing it alone. Despite what my parents thought I AM MAKING IT ON MY OWN. So yes home sweet home for me for the next 3 days in the world where underwear is in a drawer not inside out...oh the luxury...

Virgil...marry me now

So basically I love Virgil.
I have realised that the amount of love I have for him is somewhat bordering on unhealthy when I had to get out the Aeneid during revision for Roman Lit just to stop me crying my eyes out with insanity. Now if you don't know who Virgil is or you think the Aeneid is a sea in eastern europe frankly you shouldn't be reading this blog. At this point there is only one thing that I want to watch right now and my friend introduced it to me one day knowing that it would be the greatest thing I have ever stumbled across it's THE AENEID SONG. Yes that's right it's happened...
The first time I listened to it I fell in love and slipped into utter hysteria at the sight of these children chanting arma virmque cano the 3 words that make me bounce like a lunatic with excitement. Just so everyone can appreciate this here's the link.
Te amo <3

New chapter? Or sit and mope

So....
When life gets a bit shitty sometimes people always go into a depressive meltdown and just shut themselves off from the world. What is the point. I mean seriously, yes it's upsetting yes you want to cry but you know what you should do, TAKE ADVICE FROM BOB. Bob Marley clearly states that every little thing is gonna be alright and I personally believe Bob, he's a great man who knows his stuff. So if you're upset or down or feeling a bit blue at the moment maybe you've just had a break up then listen to Bob Marley and remember that life is always too short to worry about something that someones done to you, turn it into a positive and learn from it...
