Facts #3

I have one month left at University. I want to move to London next summer. I am addicted to Tumblr. And buying shoes. I wish I was rich. I'm excited to start a new chapter in my life. I hope I don't lose contact with any of my Uni friends. I'm obsessed with my Topshop jeans and my over sized shirt. I miss getting drunk with the crazies. It scares me that I will be 22 in just over two months. My new favourite song is by a band I've never heard of before. I love walking my dog really early in the morning. Currently aching to go to Thorpe Park. All I want is a 2:1 from my Uni & a full time job on a magazine I love.

Right?

Facts #2

I want to be Jennifer Aniston's BFF. I wish I could sing like Beyonce. My current obsession is Temple Run & a healthy dose of gossip. I think I have a shopping addiction. I want to live in New York. My dream job is Art Director at American Glamour. I have amazing friends. My Mum is my inspiration. I want to find a guy that looks like Ryan Gosling. It scares me that I will be 22 in four months. I want to travelling all around America in a funky car. I also wouldn't mind winning the lottery. I absolutely adore Kate Winslet. Tumblr is my new favourite website. I cannot wait to graduate in November.

Valentine's Day

So it's Valentine's Day... again. Last year, I said to my friend that this year I would not be single. Guess what? I'm still single. And you know what? It doesn't bother me in the slightest. Okay, so I was a little jealous seeing all the guys today holding big bunches of flowers and chocolates, but then I overcame that problem by popping into my local store and buying myself some Lindt chocolate. (Actually, my Mum bought them for me, but that's not the point). At this moment in time, I would say that I'm about 10 minutes away from a full on chocolate coma, and it was so worth it. For me, I'm not fussed that I don't have a boyfriend, because being single is actually pretty awesome. I can do what I want, when I want and I have absolutely no one to answer too. Chances are, if I did have a guy I'd probably have someone that hated Valentine's Day and wouldn't buy me anything, so I'd probably still find myself in my local buying myself chocolate. (Depressing, but oh so true). I'm not one of these girls that's constantly on the look out for my perfect guy, because what is it they say? 'When you stop looking for Mr Right, he will eventually pop up when you least expect it.' I do hope that's true because I stopped looking about two years ago, and there's still no sign of him. Ho hum.

Anyway, this post is dedicated to all the beautiful singletons out there, that are probably at this precise moment of time downing bottles of wine, eating copious amounts of chocolate and listening to Adele. (Don't deny it, she's the perfect singer for a single's Valentine's Day). Here's to being young, free and single!

Now, where's my chocolate?

Take me there.

I want to live in an apartment in Manhattan. I want to work for American Glamour. I want to live near Central Park. I want to catch an American accent. I want to meet an American guy. I want to shop in Bloomingdale's and Macy's. I want to catch the subway and know exactly what I am doing. I want to be familiar with every street. I want to ride in a yellow cab. I want to feel like I've lived in New York all my life. I want it to be a completely new chapter in my life. I want to feel scared about doing it, so that it spurs me on. I want to have fun. I want a completely new direction. I want to feel independent in a new city. I want to live my dream.

Facts #1

I have under four months until I finish University for good. I have made some of the best friends a girl could ever ask for. There's nothing I love more than a proper good night out. Vodka is always a winner. I have a huge girl crush on Jennifer Aniston. I'm addicted to American magazines. New York is where I want to spend the rest of my life. I hate England. I love to write. Temple Run is my new favourite iPhone game. I'm too sarcastic for my own good. I can blag my way out of pretty much anything. My Marc Jacobs purse is the best thing I have ever purchased. I'm far too blunt. I have an addiction to orange lucozade. I can't stop listening to Beyonce's album. I'm not ashamed to admit that I kinda like Cher Lloyd's new song. My pet hate is when people continuously moan & do nothing to help themselves. I hate Valentine's Day.

Everything is changing..

My Mum often says to me that if I ever want something in life, I have to go out there and get it. It will never come to me, if I'm just sat on my bum all day waiting for it to arrive. This is probably the best piece of advice I have ever been given, and it's something I live my life by. In 4 months time, my University days will finally be over. I will no longer be a student, and I will be expected to find a full time job, and become a proper adult. No more sleeping in until 10am, going to lectures in the afternoon, and then having the majority of the week to spend at home 'studying'. Part of me is incredibly excited to see what the world has to offer me, and then the other half of me is so scared, I could just crawl under my duvet and stay there for the foreseeable future. How has three years flown by so quickly? Wasn't it only yesterday that I was moving into my halls of residence? Now, instead of worrying about what to wear for my fourth night out in a row, I'm now worrying about where to look for a job, and if I'll have enough money to survive.

However, I think out of all my Uni friends, I'm the one that's the most excited to leave. I find it so exhilarating that in a matter of months, I will be completely and utterly free of all Uni work and deadlines, and will be able to do whatever I like. I will no longer have nerves in my stomach waiting for my grades to come back, or even having to face some of my worst lecturers in the corridor. Obviously, I am going to have to search for a job/internship, and I understand that will be stressful in it's own way, but that's life. I also know that come May time, I will probably be sobbing into my vodka/lemon/lime at the thought of having to leave all my amazing Uni friends and the memories we have shared these past three years. It really is true what people say: Uni friends are for life. They are the people that you see almost every single day, and who know exactly what you are going through with the trials and tribulations of Uni life. If I'm honest, I couldn't have asked for better friends.

So right now, I'm trying to make the most of my time here at Uni, stop moaning about every little thing, and just embrace it. And when it's all done and dusted, I'm going to go out into the big, scary world and show them what I can do. I'm going to grab everything with both hands, and make sure my degree was worth every single penny.
