In this blog post, I have compiled a list of things you can read/watch/listen to, to educate and inform yourself on the #blacklivesmatter campaign. I have also included some petitions that need as many signatures as we can gather! Firstly, there are plenty of books and articles that you can read. Some of these areContinue reading “#blacklivesmatter Educational List”

A couple of summers ago, I read the book ‘The Hate You Give’ by Angie Thomas and it has stayed with me everyday since. The book follows the life of an African- American teen, Starr. It details Starr’s experience as a black person living in America, exploring her experience growing up in a poor, BlackContinue reading “How ‘The Hate You Give’ opened my eyes and why it has stuck with me since #blacklivesmatter”

I really miss my friends. It’s been so hard adjusting to not seeing people who I used to spend most of my week with. I miss chatting, laughing, teasing, even a simple smile from someone I’m not that close to just makes my day ten times better! I think it’s just our human nature thatContinue reading “Dear my best friends…”

I’m guessing the first thing you’ve thought of is ‘Busted’. If you haven’t, you should really check out their song ‘Year 3000’- absolute classic. The song describes the future that the singer’s neighbour Peter sees when he visits the ‘Year 3000’ in his time machine. Peter’s experience seems to focus on what the women ofContinue reading “The Year 3000”

At the moment, each Monday, I cook for my family. I should do it more often, however my mum is happy cooking for the majority of the time (I also have a fussy brother who insists my food tastes different to mum’s just because I cooked it!) Our typical meal on a Monday is theContinue reading “My Meal on a Monday”

When I say ‘run’, it can be interpreted in many ways. Some may think of a light jog, others a less than twenty minute 5k. In my case, I would definitely go for the jog version. I can do a 5k in about half an hour, pretty average but certainly not ‘fast’. I would sayContinue reading “Why you should run- or at least walk”

We have been in lockdown for almost two months now. Two whole months. As a sixth form student, this could have been a time for complete relaxation- all we’re having to do is stay at home (isn’t that what everyone dreams of?) The truth is, it isn’t that easy which I’m sure most reading thisContinue reading “Life in Lockdown”

A few weeks ago at school, I was given the opportunity to have a mock interview in preparation for the world of work and consequently endless interviews. As this was a ‘mock’ I wasn’t too bothered about ensuring I was fully prepared, as I didn’t entirely know what to expect anyway. However, as I searchedContinue reading “What do I want to do with my life?”

We were informed recently that we would still be having end of year examinations, despite our current situation in home-school. Admittedly, my heart did sink when I heard the word ‘exams’ as I pictured the hours of revision that were required and the reality that it won’t be possible to completely relax over the lockdownContinue reading “Exams- what’s not to like?”

If you’re reading this, you have somehow made it to my first ever blog post. I have been contemplating making my blog website for a few months now. The delays were mainly due to a lack of time, lack of motivation and technical issues. The ultimate push came from a visitor to my sixth form.Continue reading “Hello…”
