Barcelona

Next stop on my travels this summer was Barcelona with my friend from university for a couple of days. We stayed in Generator hostel which I would definitely recommend to other young travellers, it was very clean and really nice for the price we paid, definitely no need for hotels. We did some of the typical touristy things such as Parc Guell, Las Ramblas and visited the Sagrada Familia, but we also did some day trips to different towns nearby such as Girona where we explored the medieval city walls and cathedral and Figueres where we went to the Salvador Dali museum. I think I'm slightly in love with the city and would go back in an instant. Barcelona I miss you, hope you feel the same way about me.

Dubrovnik

First stop on my travels this summer was exploring the old walled city of Dubrovnik. From geeing out over game of thrones to chilling by the pool the trip was amazing, although short and sweet. So here is a few snaps of my stay. Enjoy.

Back with a vengeance

I really have no excuses for how long it has ben since my last post but here goes my long list of excuses to make my absence slightly more acceptable;

I have been busy finishing my second semester of first year at university (managed to pass my exams woohoo) which took up the majority of my time, also passed my drying test and managed to get a bout of appendicitis and have my appendix removed through emergency surgery lol. But all in all first year has been great and I'm looking forward to heading back to Glasgow for second year in September but for right now I'm enjoying summer and taking it as it comes.

Positive people.

Hi guys, sorry I have been so M.I.A recently but I took a massive break over the Christmas holidays after the stress of university exams just to chill and be with family and friends. But now I'm back in the swing of things at uni again I'm going to do my best to start blogging regularly again.

Now, I'm back with a slightly different post and quite an upsetting one at that. But I figured, the more people that can see this, the better so here it goes. A girl in the year below me at the high school I attended has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and is fundraising for a children's hospice that has helped her and her family through this horrible time. I can't even begin to imagine how she is coping with this, but she is doing so in the best way possible, living life to the fullest in the time she has been given. She has a constant smile on her face and really makes you appreciate what you have, and makes all the little things in life that bug you or get under your skin seem totally and utterly insignificant.

So if you could find it in you to donate anything that would be really super.

Thanks, see y'all soon. x

First semester: First Year: Finished

So I haven't posted on here in ages and ages but I was caught up with uni course work and exams ((which I have now finished woo)) and just life in general really, but I'm back and I'll be trying to post more regularly again. So yeh, as the title suggests I have now finished my first semester of first year of university which has flown by. In September I moved out of my family home into Halls of Residence, where I knew absolutely no-one. Now I class some of these people as my best friends- crazy huh? A lot has changed over the past few months, but I'm a firm believer in 'everything happens for a reason' -I'm a sucker for a cliché- and as for now, life is pretty darn good. I just thought I'd post this little update instead of jumping straight back into the normal blog posts, to explain my absence. I had good reason I promise. Here's some snaps of first semester, from freshers to food to fireworks and halloween we packed a lot in to our first months in Glasgow, here's to plenty more things to come.

One lovely blog award

Sup guys'

So the lovely Rachael over at http://caseysclosetuk.blogspot.co.uk has nominated me to do this award, which is great as I'm still a total newbie to blogging with a mere 10 posts. I'm honestly surprised//ecstatic that one person is reading my blog, I seriously ramble on and on I'm not sure how you can put up with me. There I go rambling on again ((sorry!!))

Below are the rules so if I have nominated you, or you're not sure what to do then here you go; 

• You must display the award logo at the top of the post!
• You must thank the person who nominated you and leave a link to their blog in your post!
• You must add this set of rules to your post so that your nominees will know what to do!
• You must add 7 facts about yourself into the post (yes more facts haha)
• You must nominate 15 other blogs and leave links to each of them in your post!
• You must let the people who you have nominated know that they've been nominated!
• You must follow back the person who nominated you on GFC (I don't use this) and Bloglovin

So here I go with my 7 facts...

1) I'm currently in my first year ((and first semester)) at the University of Glasgow, I'm currently studying History, History of Art and Politics as I am a first year I take 3 subjects, and if all goes to plan I will graduate in 2018. 

2) I'm a reality TV addict. You name it I watch it; Made in Chelsea, The Only Way is Essex and anything by the Kardashians. No shame.

3) I still have no idea what I want to do as a career, and that's ok. There is plenty of time for me to figure that out later, for now I'm just enjoying university which is already flying by. But at the moment I would love to work in the media or in fashion industry. 

4) I'm currently living in a big city, however I'm a real country girl at heart. I grew up ((and only just moved away from)) the sea and the countryside, it's a real contrast and I love the buzz of the city, but I really appreciate the sea breeze in my hair and the smell of the farmers fields when I'm home. 

5) My dog is the cutest dog in the whole world. I kid you not. 

6) I've only been to one festival; 2012 T in the Park which was insane. Can't wait to add more to the list. 

7) I have such a varied music taste- rap to rock to cheesy pop. You name it and I probably like it. 

Okay so now I nominate;

Gretel is that you?

Recently I have been playing around with different things to do with my hair, and I decided to share this one with you guys. Now, this isn't a particularly new style or anything, but it's definitely out of my 'comfort' zone and I quite like the end result. It keeps my hair off my face (and more importantly my hair is no longer attached to my lipgloss) on those windy Scottish days that we will be getting plenty of now the seasons have changed, yet is a little bit different to the typical top knot or ponytail. Of course I'm not claiming to be anything of a hair 'pro' if anything I am the complete opposite, therefore meaning this is the perfect hairstyle for those of you like me who just can't get the hang of a fiddly fishtail plait.
