Life as a Cumbrian at University.



So this post is all about my experience being a Cumbrian at University. If you don't know, I study at Bolton University and this is my first year. I always assumed people would now where it is, boy I was so wrong

'Oh so you must go out in Tiger Tiger all the time then eh?' I will say it again for the people at the back. I AM NOT FROM NEWCASTLE, I AM NOT A GEORDIE, I LIVE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COUNTRY.

You WILL get funny looks from people when you ask "Alright *insert name* What's crack?" But no, I don't mean the drug, god sake people!

'Yeah I went to Cumbria once on a school trip, there's loads of lakes and stuff eh?' I will calmly try and tell you that rule number one of being a Cumbrians' best friend is that YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS ONE LAKE IN THE LAKE DISTRICT. And no, I don't know where you mean by 'We went to this forest to collect leaves, do you know where I mean?'

Near enough every southerner will think Cumbria is in Manchester
Now listen here you Mancs, lets get one thing straight; TO US YOU ARE FROM THE SOUTH. Anything past Lancaster is south, get over it, get used to it, you are not Northern.

I honestly hope you fall off your chair laughing so hard at a joke which isn't funny.

After a few Vodkas you will start to speak Cumbria and it's at that point you just want to be in Yankees, loving life and get a Pedros on the way back.
Because there is nothing better than bar 32's music, the Wells beer garden where you meet everyone you've even known in your life and quick-fit car park where I'm sure everyone ends up when drunk and lost. But just remember "Az garn yam, av already got yan kebab, am goin now"

Apart from a few language/ accent/ Anna please slow your speaking down I cant understand a word/ It's been 8 weeks and Jordan still cant understand me, Uni isn't that bad.

Anyone else from Cumbria and wants to scream sometimes? Why doesn't anyone know where Cumbria is? It's always full of tourists!

P.s for anyone who wants to impress me, start using some of these words!

July faves! | Unicorns and Fairy Dust.

July favourites, after you guys have asked me so many times! It's not all beauty, as you'll soon find out! Umberto Giannaini Over night Beauty Moisture Balm. Can we all just have a minutes silence over this? It is amazing, utterly amazing and it's now fully embedded into my hair routine.. That's when I remember I have one. As you all know, I have bleached my hair quite a bit and the bottom of my hair has got it the worst. This balm is light so it doesn't have your hair greasy and heavy and it actually works! I've tried countless others and nothing works at all, they seem to work at the start but actually, the shine is just pure grease and we haven't got time of that! I have the travel size and it seems to last for ages, you can get the full range of this product and others by the same brand at Boots or at the website. As always, I'll link everything down below! Ickle Baby Bot Bath Bomb, Lush Did I steal part of Coreys present to use o

My week- 18th Birthday special.

Image
This is a new type of series I will be starting.. Well starting it now. A blog post to tell you about my week, upcoming events and posts and just a general reminder of my week so far. It is going to be the raw Anna, the Anna who always goes into McDonalds and gets a Chicken Nugget Happy Meal and a Chicken Burger and the Anna who sings the same song every morning to Dan. The real Anna. I turned 18 on the 18th September 2015 and it was one of the most 'normalish' days of my life, fun and exciting and all that but I was the same old Anna, just a year older. I had my birthday party the week before, best night ever. Thanks again to everyone who bothered to turn up! My Mam put this photo up on Facebook, I mean what can I say? I was a cute baby! We took a family selfie because we are cute like that, can we all just look at Oscars face please? I think he's had enough selfies at this point. We may not be the biggest family there is but we sure are the best!

My Happy Week #3

Image
My week has been actually lovely and I say this with the biggest smile on my face. First off I've spent more time with my littlest cousin Oscar, who is the most loving little boy ever. We are best friends and there's not a week we don't spend time together. When I head off to Uni I'm not going to see him for months at a time and that really scares me, so I'm trying to make as many memories as possible. We've played games, pinched each others biscuit, tickled each other until were both crying and had lots and lots of cousin snuggles. He's 3 tomorrow and it's so scary that my baby cousin is getting bigger and can talk and you can actually have a conversation with him. Secondly, I received an email off a company (who I can say just yet) to review some clothing and I'm really excited to share it with you. Blogging opens up so many doors for you and I find it really interesting to compare which companies come to me. I always find it's the little
