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

Jumping into my 18th in a Jumpsuit!

Hey everyone! So last weekend it was my 18th birthday (woop woop!), so I wanted to wear something sassy. Browsing through the Topshop website, a beautiful black jumpsuit caught my eye. I wasn't sure I'd pull it off, but I was too in love with it to not buy it... So it arrived, and I LOVED it! I love the elegance of the gathered sleeves and the v-neck line (it did seem quite low, but hey ho, you only turn 18 once!). I like how it isn't fitted, yet still singes in the waste with a cute detachable 'seatbelt' style belt (as I told my friends). Jumpsuit - Topshop £40 As you can imagine, I had to wear something to make my white chest look a bit less bare, so I decided  to pair my jumpsuit with a stunning multi-coloured rhinestone choker and a simplistic, delicate triple row gold necklace. My older sister was generous enough to let me borrow her beautiful Topshop black heeled sandals too!  Nails - No7 Stay Perfect Shade - Lovely Fuschia  Sq...

Aus Adventure: Welcome to Travel

Hello Everyone, I hope you’re all safe and well during these very strange times. I am currently living at Spot X Surf Camp on the East Coast of Australia during the COVID 19 pandemic. It’s a weird feeling being at the other side of the world during all of this madness, but I figured I would use this time to reflect on my Australian journey. I’m sure there are so many people so eager to travel when all of this is over, so I thought I’d return to my blog and write up a cheeky post reflecting on my first couple of weeks in Melbourne pre-lockdown. I always knew I wanted to work and travel in Australia, but I just had no idea where to even start with organising it, especially seeing as I knew I was travelling on my own (scary times). I remember googling ‘tours around Australia’ and it just felt like there were so many different things that popped up that all seemed to say the same thing, leading me to feel more lost with it all. I’ve done lots of travelling before, but I alwa...

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...
