So again, it has been a while, which I am sorry for but hopefully now I will be a bit more active on here and on my other platforms (mainly Instagram, I'm obsessed).
So as you know, if you are a regular to my blog, I have spent the last 4 years at BIMM London, doing a Vocal performance degree, and the past 6 months tearing my hair out for my finals. I can finally say....IT IS ALL OVER. I have mixed feelings about this though to be honest.
First, you don't really feel anything, then it hits you and it's devastating, scary and weird all at the same time (you'll find yourself crying in the shower if you're as lame as me). The next part is relief, everything seems to fall off your shoulders, embrace this moment because it doesn't last. Not long after you'll be faced with the realisation that it's NOW that the real struggle begins, not knowing what comes next, the weird fear of not having work...bills...it's not cute to ask for help anymore...you are on your own in the real world. People who used to help you now see you as the competition.
Saying all that though, this is the fun part, you can do what YOU want to do, you don't have to do what university is making you do, create your own projects to your own timelines, go do things you never had time to do. If you're lucky, the connections you made in uni will come back around and opportunities will arise that you hadn't expected. Karma is talked about for a reason!
So, I am really trying to make this blogging thing take off again now, mainly on Instagram, but I want to catch a bit of attention on here as well. Photos are great, but it's nice to be able to write to all of you as well!
I'll update you a little bit whilst I'm here.
I moved house last week, out of student accommodation (thank God) into a nice little flat in East London with my two best friends. I couldn't be in a better place. Us three little Powerpuff Girls will take over the world one day…when we finally have internet, using an iPhone hotspot sucks.
My boyfriend moved to Bahrain/Dubai, for 6 months, last week to play drums for an entertainment company… which, obviously I am far from happy about.. BUT.. I am a firm believer in everything happens for a reason and he so deserves this recognition for how much of an amazing drummer he is! I will do a post about this in the future when it’s not such a raw subject..for now... Look how pretty he is..
Both of these things mean that I have more time to focus on me and do things with friends and start creating a life for myself beyond the boundaries of uni, my boyfriend (I created the boundary, not him) etc… it’s just easy to get into habits and comfort zones, getting yourself out of them is hard, but freeing.
Also got myself involved in a little event with Plant Based Pixie (a few of you might know her), she’s a babe and her recipes are yummy, so if you don’t know her, you should. End of. Here are some photos…
Anyways, I may have exciting news next week and I may not so I won’t give anything away just yet incase all falls through.
Much Love, as always. Happy to be back :)
