“Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.” ― Henry David Thoreau

Hi there, people of the internet.

Currently, I am sat in uni trying to do an essay about Warner Brothers, and truth be told id prefer to be asleep, or in the park watching ducks.

Instead, I thought id write a blog about whats happened over the past few days, also Emily did this blog about what makes a best friend, and I thought i'd try and write a bit about tat.

Today is my first day off since Wednesday, and I'm literally thanking God. Although it has been a really good past few days learning about pretty clothes and how to talk to posh people. I actually enjoy it! I finally picked out my uniform and its gorgeous! I picked a pair of jeans, a pair of PVC leggings, a navy, cami type top, with a peter pan collar, and one almost the same but its black with a split down the front. 

Yesterday after work, I decided to get drunk with one of the boys I'm living with next year. It was a good time, although I wish my drinking partners were there as well, because going to the park at 1am just wasn't the same without them, I actually missed walking with Megan talking about how much of a dick Eric is, because he'd fallen off his board. Actually can't wait for them to come back. Hannah also joined in but didn't last for very long , because since she stopped drinking, she doesn't hold her drink for very long. Im proud of her for trying though, especially because she was drinking vodka. 

Since I'm missing my dickhead friends from everywhere.

I thought id tell people what is takes for me to class them as a best friend. 

I know stereotype says that best friends are usually people you've known the longest, but I have honestly found some of the best friends I've ever had within the last year of my life. I met 3 of them through a band, and I honestly love them so so much. They know how to take banter, like I'm not joking, we call each other sluts. Some of the time, we mean it, some of the time, its just something to say. 

E.G. I was talking about a reallllllly hot guy that I said I fancied, a long with other things, and she just straight up said "Kirsten, you're a slut" I just agreed with her because, why not?

Its also very weird how some people just click because they have that ONE thing in common. 

I started talking to Laura properly because we both had read a book called "Divergent" and started fan girling in Web Design over it. I also started talking to Emily over the same band that me and my best friends met through. Then theres those people that, even though you're not sure you have anything in common with, except for a few bits, you still love them unconditionally. Like my flat mates. Half the time I haven't got a jar of glue what they babble about, but you still get involved because thats what friends do, get involved in stuff that your friends are interested.

(Marvel, Jake and Amir, artsy films) And ok, I still have no clue half the time, I know they'll be there to explain if I'm confused. 

Its also the best when you can go from a week to a month without speaking to these certain types of friends and carry on like no time has passed, like you saw them yesterday.

As you can tell, even though Han is here, which is a god send because not on my own anymore, i'd still like my friends back. 

Okay thats it.

I know its a short one, but its only a procrastination post.

Also, if you wondered why the quote was the title..

if a certain person read this blog, they'd understand why.

TTYL,

And if you couldn't be loved, the next best thing was to be let alone - L.M Montgomery

Hi there, people of the internet.

Quite recently, starting from Friday, people have left.
It is, of course, the start of Easter and obviously I knew it was going to happen, but that doesnt mean I like it.

First of all, it was Ellie.
But that happened a while before Friday.
She got VERY ill, which sucks because Tuesday it was her 19th birthday. In the last blog, I mentioned that Emily and I decided to day drink. Well, we were going to go to props to celebrate, but we didnt bother because Ellie wasnt here.
But, from what I gather she had a lovely birthday, and she loved the card we sent her!
The next person to leave was Eric. Which was weird as for Megan and I because our social life literally revolves around him.
On the Friday, before he left, we went to get milkshakes and went to the park.. Of course he took his penny board, but no accidents this time! We then walked him half way, and went in the opposite way, because Megan's mac was fixed and we were going to pick it up.
Then, on the Sunday Hannah and Ryan left.
Hannah was the most suprising because we didnt actually know she was leaving!
I thought i'd have her company till the 19th, then she goes to Ryans for like a week!
But nope, Megan and I came home from uni to say bye to Ry, and he told us she was gone! I was sad :-(
Then Ryan left..
It was a VERY quiet couple of days, and with time, Megan and I started acting like a old, married couple. Telling eachother where we were going and eating meals at the same time, and what not!
Now all the Americans have left to go on their adventures and im here on my own, left with my own thoughts. I dont like it.
Not that I dont like my own company, but I get a bit too much for myself.
I have honestly confined myself to my room, except for when I have to go to work. (I'll talk about that in a bit)
Its quite sad really.
Right now, I'm relying on snap chat, and Spotify to keep me sane.
I also haven't really been sleeping great because this flat scares me. And I know what everyone's thinking! Why don't you just go home for a bit? Honestly, I'm better off here! I know when I actually get a day off, ill spend the day in uni, just working! And I'll get more work done here than there, because my stupid Cardiff friends will distract me and then nothing will get done and I'll be rushing to get my work done, and that is not good.
On Sunday, it will be Megan's 21st birthday, and in hope she reads this, HAVE A FANTASTIC DAY GIRL! Before she left, we gave her a little card she could read on her trip, and it is the CUTEST card ever! Paperchase always does me proud.
She's already told me what she wants for her birthday, which I plan to get at the end of the month!

Now onto the whole "work" thing.
Last week (cant specifically remember when) I got a phone call, asking whether I was still interested in a job I had applied for in DECEMBER!
It was for French Connection, obviously I said yes, and was asked to go for an interview. After the interview, I was asked back for a trial shift on Saturday. On the Saturday, after my shift, I WAS OFFERED THE POSITION!!
I now work in French Connection 3 days a week, and I could not be happier. The clothes are beautiful and the people I work with are lovely. It probably could have come at a better time, like December. But whatever, at least i've got it now.

Seeing as i've been spending so much time on my own, ive been catching up on some youtubers I watch (zoella, sprinkleofglitter, tanyaburr, thatcherjoe, joeygraceffa, pointlessblog)
(Definition of a youtuber - Someone who uploads youtube videos, particularly someone who has some what of a fan base)

Basically, they have all just gone to a youtube convention called Playlist Live, and in ALL of their vlogs, they sing "Do you want to build a snowman?" from that overhyped film, Frozen.
This very song has been stuck in my head since Eric left and although it is getting very tiresome, its making me a lot happier than I have been over the past week!
I also read this super inspiring blog, which people should read because its lovely and I would love to do something like this for people one day.

heres the link > http://onemillionlovelyletters.com/about/
I put the link to her about page because that's what I read.

Ok, I think im done!
Except I got 2 more assignments done from my list!
So really I only have to do my essays and my music pitch!
YAY!

Thanks for reading.
I know this is weird, but it'll make me really happy if you could like/retweet the post if you read it! Cheeeeeers!
TTYL,

“Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It's not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.” - Mohammad Ali

Hi there, people of the internet.

So, I know I only uploaded a blog like last week but you get another one!
This past week has been a hard one.
Mainly because ive been missing my mumma and friends, but also because I realised how much work I had due in which I hadnt started.
1. 2000 word essay
2. 3000 word essay
3. 1500 word blog
4. music video
5. music pitch
6. portfolio

So, honestly people can probably see why ive been a stresshead this week.
But I have handed in 2 assignments and finished another, so atleast im getting started.

On Tuesday, Laura, Emily, Ellie and I recorded Cait singing her cover of Coldplays song, Yellow and it is freaking fabulous, but seriously getting so fed up of having to listen to it. The next day, we had to edit the song and film the video, again having to listen to the song for the whole day. I honestly don't think i've listened to a song so much in 2 days. Since Wednesday, I spent the majority of the days editing the video, and i'm proud to say its done, and the group is pleased with it, Apart from the fact that Emily had to be in it. While we were filming, we made friends with some ducks and geese because smart arse decided to feed them.

1.

 

2. 

 

Safe to say, I shouldnt go near ducks. Thursday night, I walked to park to see how Emily was feeling because she got ill. And it was a funny night, and I didnt want to leave her and Laura.
I then spent the next day with them again, finishing off the final bit of editing, and Emily decided to come to regency.
On the way home, we come to the decision to day drink because our week had been so shitty, we managed to drag Megan into our plan, then, WAIT FOR IT..
HANNAH!!!!

But it was short lived, because she went to bed :-(
But before that, we managed to pull of the most epic prank everm which eric loved.

Eric did also join, after actually putting his stuff together and what not.
We then went upstairs, carried on drinking, played cards against humanity and came back downstairs.
After we came back, we sat in the kitchen and just spoke about stuff. And seeing as we were drunk, decided to go to the park.
Eric took his penny board and kept falling over. We sat on the dock, and just talked. Also got really sentimental about the fact that Megans leaving in a couple of months.
and just FYI, while I was telling Hannah about this, she went, "im sorry to say this, but we're not going to be living with either of them next semester" and it broke my heart.
It was an epic night, and not one i'll forget in a hurry.

OK, thats it for now.
Hope you enjoyed it.

Yours is the light by which my spirit's born: - you are my sun, my moon, and all my stars - E.E Cummings

Hi there, people of the internet!

I thought id do a blog post on stuff thats happened over the past few days!
Im going to start with monday!

On monday, we went to Moo's for Sean's birthday and we had a BLAST!
It was great! Me and Megan drank vodka and cider, (not together obviously) for pre drinks, we played ring of fire, this acdc drinking game, called thunderbolt, and this game called sausages.
ACDC game: You start playing the song, and people take it in turns drinking,  the person keeps drinking until the next time the song says thunder.
Sausages: You ask a person questions, and they have to reply with sausages, no matter the question. If the person laughs, theyre out.

We then headed to moo's. At this point, we had lost everyone so it was Emily, Ellie, Megan, Hannah, Ryan and Me. We all pretty much ran to the club, no idea why. We all  got very, very drunk and made friends with people. After leaving the club because we had lost everyone, Eric, Megan and I parted from Ellie and Emily and went on a really shitty tour of Cheltenham.
Lessons from this tour:
Dont take a hipflask full of straight vodka out with you
Dont accept piggybacks from Eric. To be fair, I was told it was my fault, I didnt grab hold of him, so I went flat on my back. The only thing I was worried about was my hair though.
After the piggyback failure, we all went stumbling home and made chips, which were THE BEST THINGS EVER! Eric also did this really fabulous magic trick, which his dad showed him.
I dont think id have been that impressed if I was sober, but if you know him and you get drunk around him, ask him to do it! It will blow your mind!
The next day was PAAAAAINFUL! We all had hangovers from hell, and to make things worse, we had to edit our viral video and when you dont listen in lectures, it can make things a lot worse.
I started editing with a headache, stared at a mac for 3 hours, and had a worse headache. It was hell.
However, we did get it finished! I'll upload it onto here if I can!

Friday was one of the best days ive had in uni thus far, I think.
I MADE A ROAST! With a little help from Hannah!
It was the best meal ive had in uni, and im so so proud!
Probably couldnt have done it without instruction from Hannah's mam either!

Later on that evening Ellie, Ashley, Daniel and Ashley's friends from America came down and we got drunk again, I literally dont think ive been that drunk, just drinking in the flat. We played chandelier, ring of fire, and beer pong.
We got drunk off watermelon vodka which was amazing! The photo to the left is like my favourite photo ever, with the best people ever, just FYI.
Saturday, we went to the park because it was really sunny, and people need fresh air when they have a hangover. We went and looked at the bunnies and chickens. It was the best.
We also went to the park today, but Emily made me sad by talking about my favourite band so im not really going to go into detail on that.

Thats all that's really happened this week, except its mothers day today, and mother, I love you a lot.You're my best friend and an amazing mother, and I wouldnt be who I am without you.

Ok, Thats all for now.
TTYL,

My first time.

Hi there, people of the internet.

I know what the title said, and it is very misleading.
What im really going to write is about first times that arent as sexual as that!

First Best Friend - 

My first best friend was a girl called Rachel. We met in primary school and we were very close up until I went to uni. Unfortunately, we aren't as close as were were. But shes a lovely girl.

First Kiss -

My first kiss was when I was like 15 or some shit. I had a boyfriend around that time and we kissed outside some hall after a gig he did. (He was a guitarist.) It wasnt the best kiss ive had, but it was the first, so.

First Concert -

My first proper gig was a band called Blue. They were literally my first boy band experience and I loved them. The concert was freaking great, they came onto the stage climbing down a robe, and Lee Ryan noticed me. It was fantastic. They then split up after they finished the tour and it broke me heart.

First Celebrity Crush -

My first crush was Orlando Bloom, and i swear I still have the most massive crush on him ever.

First Word - 

I literally just text my mum and she said it was "Muma"

First Pet - 

It was a boxer called Lucy, she was so cute.

First Job - 

My first job was a Sales Assistant at House of Fraser, in a food hall. It was my favourite and I was there for 4 years. I legit miss it so much.

First Phone - 

Like everyone, it was one of those nokia bricks. Literally only had one because my mum didnt trust me without a phone during high school!

First Tweet - 

"only just got twitter and has no idea what to do on here!"

First Make-Up - 

It was probably eyeliner, or mascara! That was the only thing i wore during high school!

Thats it. 

Thanks for reading. 

Megan, Hannah, and Emily, you're up!

TTYL,

Why do I do the things emily tags me in?

Hi there, people of the internet.

So, earlier today emily (http://www.something-like-Emily.blogspot.com) 

Tagged me in a post whereas you have to pick 5 people you would want at a dinner party of yours. Fuck you em,

So, like Emily, I have been pondering over whether I want to use people I know, or famous people. I decided to use famous people because it's more interesting and I know who I would pick. 

For my first guest, I would pick

Alex Gaskarth. From his twitter, I reckon he would be laugh. Like, he wouldn't give a shit what people thought of him. He's also gorgeous so I could perv over him😊

My next guest would be 

JLAW. Just literally because she's fucking awesome.

My next guest would be

Jay Mcguiness because he's my favourite person ever, and I would give anything to be in the same room as him at the moment.

Next up,

Zoe Sugg. If people don't know who she is, she's like the biggest female British youtuber at the moment. She has been called an inspiration to young girls ever and she's actually my fave. She's pretty fabulous and hilarious.

Lastly, I would have someone like super obvious. 

Obama. I don't think I need an explanation why I would have Obama at my house.

I don't actually know what I would cook. I'd have to go full on come dine with me, and make like bruschetta, and like, nibble shit for starters. Curry for mains, and trifle for dessert.

That's it.

On a SUPER sad note, Austin and Jazmin left today, and I swear to god I Havnt felt this sad in a while.

If you read this guys, it was such a pleasure knowing you, and if you don't come back and see us then I will come to America and kill you.

 

Love you guys :-(

That's all for now.

Thanks for reading. 

Hannah and Megan, it's your turn

TTYL
