Many of my blog posts have been reflective recently, and I hope to start changing that up soon, but the pandemic has been a time of reflection for me, and it will be especially for the next week or so as I approach my 17th birthday! In light of turning 17, I thought I wouldContinue reading “My 16th Year Summary”

Yesterday, my friend sent me a message wishing me a ‘happy birth-month’. For a second, I was confused before I realised that it actually was July. Turns out, I’m one of the many who hadn’t realised we had entered July… This year has gone exceptionally fast. Although I’ve had many days sat in my bed,Continue reading “What I Have Learnt From 2020: So Far”

It is almost definite that we won’t be having the same summer we all hoped for this year, but I am going to try and make it as good and worthwhile as I possibly can. I’m personally hoping for lots of good weather, and I’m also hoping to see more entertainment venues open in theContinue reading “10 Things To Do This #summer2020”

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”
