Bye Bye University!

Omgomgomg I am still finding hard to believe that I have actually earned myself a degree in Environmental Science. Considering I hated science at school and didn't even have a science A-Level, I have managed to complete a whole 3 years learning the wonders of the subject... 

Now like a lot of people, university for me wasn't just about getting a degree, it was more than that. I went for the experience, to learn life skills and to learn how to live independently whilst having the opportunity to do things out of my comfort zone. 

This year has been my all time favourite year at university. Working at the university bar has been a huge influence and have meet some amazing people (and gained a boyfriend) that actually made me look forward to going to work.
In addition I have the best house living with my two best friends and I have had so many great experiences. For example: taking part in the naked calender, recording a Christmas music video and single for the student radio, running the race for life with the Bar girls, meeting Greg James, being part of the Environmental Science Committee, seeing so many live performances i.e The 1975 x2, Bastille, Gabriel Aplin.. ah the list could go on and on! 

Anyways I was asked to bake some cupcakes for today (whilst hungover from celebrating last night) for a girls birthday. I really appreciate it when people ask if its okay to make an order, its so lovely! I made some lovely vanilla pink and yellow cupcakes :) I hope she liked them! 

Gosh I can not contain my excitement, although I am extremely shocked and a bit lost ha.

University Life!

I am having one of those moments where I just want to write because life is so good right now and I know that this time next week I will probably be so stressed about everything and have no time to blog! :( 

So last week I moved into my new house at University and I love it! I live with 2 other girls who are like my best girls here and it all just feels so right unlike last year. On top of that I had work experience at a weather company and  also started a new job as a bar girl at the uni bar and although I have only worked there for.. well last than a week I can safely say it is one of the best jobs ever (maybe not ever). 

As it is part of the uni the hours are so flexible and you can pick whenever you want to work. I must say I have probably over worked a bit as I am so shattered, I can't even think of any down sides of working there. I have already met so many great people and we are all just so a like there and on top of the flexible hours and the pay you also have the social side of it all. 

When you work you see so many of your mates who although expect to be served ASAP will just be brilliant and keep you on your feet till the shift is over. The shifts are quite late sometimes but as a bonus you get free entry to nights in the Student Union and also, fingers crossed, I can work when bands come to perform at the venue such as Bastille and Gabrielle Aplin! 

So if you do ever get the chance to work at university I recommend it highly, you will not regret it and I know university is for studying but its also for the whole experience so make the most of every opportunity you can! 

Life is so busy but so good, I am also seeing Zane Low and the 1975's this week as well as lectures and nights out and catching up with everyone ekk, I hope everyone is having a great week and also enjoying this lovely late summer weather!

The Last's off!

Its the last day at home, my last day at work yesterday and the last night out with the girls before we all go our separate ways for our final year at uni, where on earth has the time gone?!

To begin, I had my last shift at my job yesterday where I've been working behind the bar at a local Golf Club. Last Summer I worked in a restaurant as a waitress and the stress behind that was ridiculous, so much so that I used to be scared to go behind the bar to pour drinks. So due to the fact that I managed to get myself a job at the bar at University (yay) I thought I better get a bar job to make sure I can pour the perfect pint (not that drunken lads will even notice). I have also been asked back to work over Christmas so I'm not sure this really count's as my last shift but never mind (: 

Last night we celebrated my friends 21st birthday. I can not believe how old our group is getting ha, considering I have literally just turned 20 it feels odd now celebrating peoples 21st birthdays! I would of got some photos of my outfit but I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time so here's a little collage of what I wore. 

P.s I got it all in the sales! 

Now it is my last day at home, Summer has gone way too fast but in a way I feel like its time to go back! I can not wait, new house, new modules, new job! Ekk bring on the final year of university!! 

Good luck everyone!
