Exam Stress

Hey everyone!

So it's that time of year where we're all stressing about exams, and I'll tell you now that A levels may possibly be the death of me. From doing my GCSE's last year, I swear my motivation to do anything has gone down hill. I'll try to revise for half an hour and before I know it, I'll be watching a video on YouTube, or I'll want to watch something on TV, or I'll suddenly have the urge to eat. It's shocking! Even now, when I should be revising, I'm writing a blog post! Please don't say I'm the only one who does this...

Anyway, I guess the point I'm trying to make is that we shouldn't stress about exams, because they are not the be all and end all. A grade on a piece of paper does not show how great a person you are. I think it's so sad that our generation are left to feel that if they don't get good grades then they are going to fail in life. Yeah, grades can open doors and get you into university, but there's no reason to say you can't have an amazing life without those things. At the moment, I'm not sure if I even want to go to university yet! It scares me thinking about it to be honest.

My advice to anyone reading this (and myself) is to stay calm, don't stress and try your best with the exams - it's all any of us can do!

Maybe I should get on with at least a little bit of revision now... but there is more to life than those letters on a piece of paper!

Speak soon!

Alex

How to cure that HANGOVER

Hello Everyone! So we've all said 'oh I'm not gonna get that drunk tonight'... then a bottle of wine, 2 trebs and a whole array of bev you can't remember you've drank later, you're on the floor puking your guts out in the smoking area of the club, with your best mate laughing and taking videos of you. Yeah we've all been there, and it only ends up one way; with a throbbing headache the next day, regretting your life decisions, and a corker of a hangover that feels like the END. Do not panic! In this post, I'm gonna share with you my five ways to get you feeling your usual perky self again! Step 1: Have a drink There's nothing better than a cold pint of water when you wake up dehydrated after a night of drinking. When I'm hungover, Lucozade always seems to sort me out (forget the bottles, the cans are wayyy better!). A cup of tea is never a bad shout either hehe. Step 2: Go to the loo for a number 2 Think this goes without saying. ...

Choker Love

Hey Everyone! After settling back at sixth form, I came to notice the 'choker' craze going on. I suddenly saw so many girls wearing the same elasticated black choker around their necks. Despite the choker looking great on these girls, I wasn't particularly drawn to this 'edgy' look for me, therefore I was determined to find the perfect 'girly' choker. So I was having a casual browse around the jewellery stands in Topshop and such a pretty pearly cream flower choker with red/orange gem detail caught my eye... Initially, I thought they may clash with my hair, however I couldn't resist! It has definitely been my September stable and I will certainly be keeping an eye out for more. Cream Flower and Filigree Choker - Topshop £12.50 I love it! Speak soon, Alex x

Summer Ballin'

Hey Everyone! So it's the start of July... which means it's finally the start of SUMMER!!! What better way to get the party started than with an end of Sixth Form Summer Ball eh? Yes, you guessed it, in this post I'm going to share with you what I wore to my leavers' ball... Arguably to many girls, finding the perfect prom dress is like trying to find a four-leaf clover; many girls try so hard to find it, but some end up giving up and going for that dress that 'will do' (or in this case, the clover with three leaves with one split in half to make it look like four...). Other girls however are lucky, and find it straight away. My ball dress, I feel, was my four-leaf clover. I was scrolling through the ASOS website not expecting to find anything I liked, but as soon as I saw this dress, I knew it was the one. Because my ball was at the beginning of July in the Museum Gardens in the centre of York, I wanted something that was pretty, y...
