10 THINGS I HAVE LEARNT AT UNI

As I've completed my 2nd year at uni (albeit a different uni, but that's another post) I've came to find that I've found out even more about myself than ever; and that people still can't understand us Cumbrians. so here are my 10things I've learnt at uni, enjoy!

  1. cheese xl needs to be a national treasure and I feel deeply sorry for anyone who hasn't had the opportunity to have them at least once.
  2. there's nothing in this world better than pads on a Thursday, fishbowl of skittles, donk, smoking area crack. amazing. 
  3. Cumbrians speak proper strange, like, really strange. why do we say yam? garn? marra? dossen? why do we always say ey? when at uni I feel like I basically have to slow my speech down that much it would be easier to send them a message.
  4. every single youtube video, blog post, news article and little booklet you get forced to put into your free goodie bag at uni open days- are all lies. sugar coating? Jesus christ. the people on the cover smiling? drugged. the group of flatmates all acting friendly? they have 100% been arguing over whos buying toilet roll.
  5. there's nothing nicer than your own bed. absolutely nothing.
  6. DONT GET ATTACHED TO YOUR FRESHERS ROMANCE. Trust a girl who fell in love on the first night, it doesn't work. you're drunk, he's drunk. awkward eye contact on smoking areas for the rest of the year.
  7. it's actually nice to cook, I mean it. after so many chineses, kebabs, ready meals and 'snacky' teas. it's always nice to sit down in your dirty kitchen to have some overcooked slop with ya best pals.
  8. your kitchen/communal areas will always be untidy. there will always be shit in the sink, some mouldy stuff in the corner and let's not talk about the overflowing bin by the door. anyone gonna clean it? no, didn't think so. pre-drinks to? aye, course lets just move everything to the corner and get drunk.
  9. money isn't everything. last year I had enough money for a holiday, to buy a car outright, when another car when that one blew up in McDonalds drive-thru, have the best summer ever. I was finally better off. this year ive struggled, so, so much. ive had -£500 in my bank and still had the best time ever and ive been sad and depressed with £2000. money isn't everything, its who you're with what counts.
  10. the people you meet will remind you that every stressful night, every argument with your mam whilst packing and them very first lovely hours in the yoir flat are all worth it. the people I met this year I never want to forget or lose. they have stuck by me when ive kicked off in clubs, fell over invisible objects in the street, got me endless popadom palaces and haven't abandoned me when I bring people back to the flat who they hate. 
ive probably learnt more, I know I have. every year I learn more about life without my mam and I'm one step closer to using a washing machine. UCLAN 2017, you've been the best.

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
