Just a woman in her mid 20's navigating life
Seasonal Affective Disorder (better known as SAD) - is essentially a form of depression, which often comes paired with anxiety - all induced by the autumn and winter months. The days get shorter, nights get longer and the sun is a rare occasion.
Last year I waved goodbye to university and embarked on the next part of my life. With graduations occurring from throughout the year, it can often come at quite a shock when you leave the university bubble you've been living in for the past 3 years or longer.
While I didn't start taking classes until I was 16 pretty late to the game I was always dancing around when I was little. Flash forward to July 2018 when I walked across the stage of the Royal Festival Hall on the South Bank to receive my degree in Dance Studies.
And who am I? That’s one secret I’ll never tell. Okay so you probably know who I am, but I’ve watched Gossip Girl at least 8 times all the way through and multiple different episodes more than that, and one character I always adored…Queen B. While she may seem like your average spoiled socialite, there is so much more to her character, which develops with every season.
The idea that the underwear you were defines whether or not your consent to anything is just pure disgusting. Sometimes wearing a thong is necessary to avoid a panty line...it doesn't mean you automatically consent to any sexual activity.
Halloween has always been an occasion I enjoyed, whether I was out trick or treating or attending parties...I love using it as a time to get dressed up and play around with my makeup. I've always been someone that goes for more of a 'cute' halloween look opposed to scary.
I sound like a bloody owl when I say twenty two by twenty two, but with my twenty second birthday less than six months away, I thought I'd put together a list of all the things I want to achieve...maybe I should start with realising I'm getting old. It's crazy to think that in January I hit the big 2-1 and now I'm about to be able to sing 22 for an entire year and HOPEFULLY relate to it.
Am I the only one that feels like 2018 is just running away from me? I always seem to have so much to do but absolutely no time to get everything done. Despite the fact we are only in July I already feel like so much has changed in the past 6 and a half months
These past 3 years have been a roller coaster ride, I spent first years partying and in denial of struggling with depression until I finally went on medication before starting my blog that summer. Fast forward two years later I'm off my medication and have been for the whole the third year, I've gotten grades to be proud of and I'm walking out of uni with my dream job...although it's not related to my degree in the slightest!
