Right now it is 23.15 on September 29th and for some strange reason I am feeling in a extra happy and positive mood, so I decided to scribble down what makes me happy, and all my soppy mushy feelings.

For obvious reasons family and friends are one of my main sources of happiness in my life and I am so thankful to have such amazing peeps as my support group. As most families do we've had our dramatic ups and downs but who hasn't? We've stuck together through thick and thin and I know we'll always have each other. Family is one of the most important things in life as they are your safety blanked that you can always fall back on or that extra little push to drive for something more. I love my family to bits and wouldn't change anything about any one member or anything we've been though.

Like most people my age (18 btw) I've experienced many a friendship drama, and as upsetting it is at the time looking back on it now it really means nothing, all the stupid little fights I had with people are forgotten about and if I met those people we'd always stop for a chat and a catch  up. I know any of you that are experiencing difficulty with your friends might find it hard to believe that in a few years time you will all just forget about it and move on but believe me you will. If falling out with a friend is the biggest problem in your life you are doing well! :) Falling out with friends helps to make you realise who your true friends are so don't dwell on it! :) Try to move on and in 2-3 years time all will be forgotten and you might be back besties again. The friends I have now are so dear to me and I would literally do anything for them, even just talking to them for 5 minutes can change the my mood completely, and that's when you know you have good friends. If you are having a bad day and someone can make you smile, hold on to that person, they're for keeps. :)


Other things that make me happy are the simple things in life:
Food- I love me some food!! :D
Warm summer days- These are the best!
The crisp Autumn leaves- Who doesn't love this??
The soothing sound of the ocean- Not that I hear it much.
Music- This pretty much goes without saying.
And of course my idols- If you follow my twitter you should be able to guess! :)

Happy Sunday everyone!

As everyone is back at school or college I decided I would make a post helping you guys to study and achieve the best grades possible. I have previously done a back to school blog post about making friends in a new school which you can check out here.

Its almost October which means that the majority of us have been back to school about a month which can only mean one thing.. time to get back to brass tax and let the study and revision begin. I know when I was in school I found it very difficult for the first year or two to actually learn how to study. Different people find different ways of studying easier and have their preferred options, I'm going to share with you my tips and tricks that helped me in my school days! :)

I really hope these tips help you and best of luck to each and every one of you in this school year! :)

Find a quite place.
Finding a quite place to study is one of the most important things about study. Make sure the space is large enough for all your equipment ( books, notepads, laptop,etc), for me the best place to study was at my desk in my bedroom, but some of you may find it easier to study on your bed or on the floor which is totally fine if that suits you. Each person has a preferred option.

Flash Cards.
I find flash cards incredibly useful for writing quotes, definitions or for even just summarizing key points of chapters on. They are easy to use and ensure you only write what is important because they are so small. They are very handy to have in your bag or pencil case to whip out during a free period.

I find that using bright colours when studying helps me to focus and also makes notes prettier and funner, however I DO NOT recommend handing up assignments in these coloured pens as your teachers may not like that and I don't want any of you getting in trouble for it! So for homework stick to ordinary blue black and red but for your notes branch out a little and use pinks and purples! ;) Highlighting mega important stuff also helps to draw your attention to things when revising the nigh before an exam! :)
