Self-belief

Hey everyone! This post is going to be all about self-believe, self confidence and a positive mindset.  Self belief is something I personally find difficult to do.  This is because I tend to put myself down and think that I cannot achieve whatever it is that I am trying to do or working towards.  I think that this is an important topic and that I can express my experience as to how I have become more confident in myself and hopefully help others to believe in themselves.  Although I have gained more self belief, I still do not have a lot of self belief and I think this is down to the fact I like to see progress and when things don't work out it can be difficult to believe it will work. Firstly, I think the more that you realise how important self belief can benefit you, the more you will have the confidence and belief in yourself.  For example, as I have mentioned previously, I have really struggled with self belief and put myself down.  However, since I have been taking part i

College Experience Update

Hey everyone! I'm very sorry that there hasn't been a blog post for a while now.  I have been very busy and I didn't have a lot of time to post.  However, now I have finished the first year of my course at college, I have time to write posts.  I am hoping I can post consistently throughout the summer! This post relates to my previous  College Experience  post where I spoke about my whole experience.  At the end of that blog post I noted that I would update my experience accordingly through the year.  So, as I have finished the first year of my course, I thought it was a perfect time to reflect on the year and let you know my experience of college and completing a course so far.    At the start of the course it is so important to mix with the class so you can find friends and bond as a group.  I found this difficult at the start of the year as I had so little confidence, however, I pushed myself to speak to my classmates and it helped me so much! Since I started the

2018/2019 Goals

Hey everyone! This is going to be a post on what I hope to achieve in 2018-2019, and what I am hoping to do throughout the year. I apologise for not being active on my blog in months, but so much has been happening, I really have struggled to find the time.  However, I really will try to make the time to write posts this year.  I originally was going to post this post at the start of 2018, but I never got the chance to finish writing it. So, lets get to the goals... 1.  Complete my course Sounds a bit silly, but I really want to finish my course with the a good grade that reflects my hard work and motivation to the course.  I am aiming for high grades, so it will be disappointing if I do not achieve the grades I am hoping for...but I don't there is nothing I can do and all I can do is just try my best. 2. Become more confident  This is a goal I am always setting myself, and in the last year my confidence has definitely grown.  I would like to be able to say in a year's

Where Have I Been?!?!

Hey everyone! I am so so so sorry for not having a post uploaded for the last couple of weeks, even months.  Lately I have been super busy. This will probably be a short post, but all this is, is to tell you guys what I've been up to and why I haven't uploaded anything. However if I stay organised, I will hopefully get back into regular uploads! So, I'll get into discussing where I've been... Firstly, starting back at college...like I mentioned in a previous blog post, I started a new course, and I have been trying to stay organised with that, and I have have quite a lot of work to do since starting.  I do really enjoy my course though, which helps! If you have started new subjects, courses or new studies, how are you finding them? I also recently got a job, which I absolutely love! And I've been quite busy with that too, which I do not mind because I'm enjoying it so much. So, I am definitely working on managing my time better so that I have more free t

College Experience

Hey everyone! I'm very sorry that there hasn't been a blog post for the passed two weeks, I have been busy with college and getting back into the routine. Better late than never I suppose?! But I will be trying to get a post up every week when I have time and get into a routine. Everyone has been back to school/college for three weeks now (well in the UK), and I hope you've had a good time back so far! So as the title says, I'm going to share my experience of college this year so far, and hopefully it may help some of you for when you are faced with similar situations. Last year I was in college, I had friends in college that had been my friends in school, however, I never really had the chance to make friends.  Obviously part of this is down to myself not being confident enough.  So after thinking about my career path, I decided that the course was not for me and there was a more suited course to me.  However, despite me not enjoying the course very much, I pass

My Favourite Quotes

Hey everyone! If you've just gone back to school/college, I hope you had a good first week back! I've always been into reading quotes, and absolutely love anything that has a quote written on! I could spend hours looking at quotes, and recently I have been going through a stage where all I want to do is look through and read quotes.  I have so many favourites, and I find each ones can mean a lot. Obviously everyone has different opinions, and you may think differently to me, so I will just say what I think of these quotes. The quotes are in no particular order as I don't think I could really choose an order! Also, none of these quotes are mine. Lets get into the quotes... 'Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise' - I love this one because it's so true...whatever problems you face, they will disappear, and soon everything will be fine.  It just takes time. 'Train your mind to see the best in every situation' - I think this quote

How To Stay Organised and Motivated

Hey everyone! As it's getting closer to the time where everyone goes back to school/college after the summer holidays, I thought I would try and upload a helpful post of how to stay organised and motivated. I will list the tips, and I know they might be obvious, or maybe silly, but it all helps right?! Tip 1: Buy a new bag Buying a new bag isn't a necessity, but if like me you love bags then it's always nice to get a new one.  If one year I bought a really good bag, I haven't always needed to buy a new one every year, so I kept the same bag.  Like everything, there's just something exciting about having a new bag! Tip 2: Buy some new stationary One of my main reasons for loving going back to school/college after the summer is because I LOVE stationary, and love watching back to school hauls on YouTube.  I feel like when I buy new stationary before starting a new school year, it motivates me, and I'm the type of person who spends absolutely ages looking
