Summer Has Started

Hello my lovelies,

So summer has started and second year of university has finished!

I really did not realise how much time university took up when you actually go to the library and try hard :P anyway I am done and have 3 months off! I was really worried about my first post and what to put saying I haven't properly blogged in a long time, however now summer is here and I have free time again, I have time to blog, read and do exciting things :) 

Sorry I have been quiet over the past few months but I am back and ready to blog again :) so this was just a quick hello

Second Year University Room

Hello again my sweets,

Last week I moved properly into my second year house for university! We signed for this house last November which sounds crazy when I look back as I only had 6 weeks to decide who I wanted to live with!! However for me this has worked out well as I am still really good friends with all the girls and so excited for this year :) our house is so nice and I am really pleased we found it! This is my room pretty much finished, if you read my post about first year accommodation you can see its a massive change from my room last year :P I have the biggest room in the house and we chose them from a hat so it was fair :)

As a geography student I had to have my handy world map :P I have put it on a pin board and placed pins where I have been, hopefully one day this map will be full of them as I hope to travel the world :) the teddies were a Christmas present from my mum which I love as it always reminds me of her when I get home sick! And no student room is complete without a biscuit barrel!

I went for a vintage look for my room and just fell in love with this bedding! The empty table is for the turtle tank which should be here soon and Duncan will be moving in then, very excited to have him this year :) 

My makeup, blogger, working area :) the mirror was already there so my desk had to be placed here which works quite well now :) there was a pin in the wall I use for my keys and everything else is from home :) my calender, card and picture were all made by my boyfriend and I love them all :) as you can see I have my makeup boxes and mirror and on the other side everyday items and a plant pot full of pens :P 

I hate my door closed so keep it open with this cute little dog door stopper :) love that the girls can just wonder in when they want and feels a lot more welcoming :) 

These are my pride and joy! My Dunny Collection :) I have been collecting them for about a year and a half now and I have 13 so far and want to keep going! They are small vinyl toys from a KidRobot and from a range of collections! I am going to do a full post on them in the future because I love them so much so wont explain to much now :P these are lined up on my windowsill and everyone has been asking me about them! 

I am so excited for second year, setting up the house has been stressful trying to sort out bills and all that and we still haven't got them all done but we are slowly getting there! Being an adult is a lot harder and a lot more expensive then I thought :P 

Any questions about uni or sorting out houses I am more then happy to help if I can :P

How do you make your room look homely?

Uni Room

Hello again :)

So I have just finished my first year of university and I'm all moved out and back home for summer which I have to say is such a lovely feeling :) I thought I would do a post on my room at university so show everyone what a proper university room looks like :P because a lot of my friends had amazing accommodation and such nice rooms and then there was mine which was like a prison :P

I also thought this would be useful for people going to uni next year so you could what you needed or just get some ideas of what you want to do with your new room :)

So this was looking into my room, I went for a pink and blue theme as my Mum bought me a Jack Wills bed throw which I really loved so when round that. My towel and night jacket thing hung up on the side of my wardrobe so I could get to them easily :) fan was very useful because my flat was like an oven even in winter, so in the summer the fan was much needed! As you can see its a very small room with just the basics but I found that's all I needed. I shared with 7 people and we had a kitchen, toilet room and a shower room to share, which wasn't as bad as it sounds. Through the whole year I think I only waited for the shower once :) 

These were my shelves above my desk :) as you can I had a mixture of things on them from uni books, cook books to teddies and things from family :) I found having homely stuff around my room really nice as when you were having a down day you just had little things to remind you of home :) under the shelves where my calender which had important stuff highlighted and kept me right with what day it was :P my most important photos where also there so when I was working I just looked up and saw everyone how is important to me there :)

I was really lucky to have no one looking into my room, this was my view and it was just a security road so it was hardly ever used so I felt like my little room was very private :)

I hope that this was useful for some people or just interesting to see someone else's university commodation! I also hope it's made some people a bit happier about where they were because out of all my friends my accommodation was properly the worst :P

Hope you've enjoyed reading and speak soon 

Bye :)

Lake District

Hello again :) 

So I've just finished my first year of university studying geography and last week we went on a field trip to the Lake District to finish off the year after exams. It was a module so the work we did did count but I have to say the trip was a lot better then revising. 

I used to go to the Lake District when I was little quite a lot as we went camping and day trips out, however I haven't been for a couple of years so was really lovely to go back and see the amazing views again :)

We were there for 4 days and on the Monday and the Wednesday it rain which was a bit of a pain because we had to work in the rain! On the Tuesday we went for a walk up one of the hardest hills I've ever had to walk up, the walk totalled 7 hours and quite a lot of it we had to use our hands as we scrambled to the top. I did moan a bit as it was long and hard but I have to say the views were worth it.

The pictures were taken on my phone so they aren't the best of quality and I have to say no photo really shows a true representation of a view like this, I love fell walking just for the view from the top, if you've never been I would definitely recommend going just make sure you have all the equipment and you have some standard of fitness because they do take it out of you.   

On the trip we stayed in these caravans need Windermere and they were so lovely, they had a large living area and really nice kitchens and as in most caravans the sleeping areas where tiny with 2 very small beds squished in.

I really enjoyed the trip and thought it was such a good way to end the year and get to know everyone a little better :) 

Have you ever been to the Lakes? And if so what was your favourite thing? 

Hope you enjoyed reading and will speak to you soon 

Bye :)

Typical Geography Student

Hello again :)

At my university accommodation I have a notice board in my room, to start with I just had flyers and leaflets however I didn't like how it looked so thought I would buy a world map and pin it onto the board, just like a proper geography student should do :P

I love the world map because I love looking at it and picking places I would like to visit and travel round. Hopefully my next adventure will be Australia and New Zealand, but also I would love to travel around the USA but in particular California :) I love visiting places and experiencing new places, and having the map up on my wall just reminds me how big the earth is and how much I still have to see!

  

However, I as a student so I had to put university stuff round the outside which I thought was a nice idea as it filled the rest of the board but also had flyers and leaflets that I liked. Some are just like doctors card, university information but I also have bars and clubs and also some sporting events I have been to over the last year :) at the top of the board I have my wristbands that I collected over freshers week and kept them as I thing they are good to remember :)

So where has been your favourite place to visit in the world and where is your next adventure hopefully going to be?

Hope you've enjoyed reading and speck to you soon

My Cambridge Satchel

Hello again :)

For Christmas my parents bought me a Cambridge Satchel in dark Brown with the letters KT embossed on the top in gold. I wanted to do a blog post on this because I love this bag so much and use it most days so thought I would share it with you guys because they are such a lovely statement bag :)

For university I was using an old backpack for the lectures however this was to big and I didn't really like it any more, so for Christmas asked for a smaller but nicer bag to put my lecture stuff into. The one I have is the second to biggest size of the the classics and I find that it fits my A4 notepads, nurse, pens, phone and keys in which is all I need for my every day university life. I have fallen in love and think its such a lovely bag for this and a bit different :) I also use this bag for everyday shopping because it's also a good size to fit in what I take for shopping trips and day outs.

My mum put the letters KT on my bag because when I was younger this is how I used to spell my name (I thought I was cool), I quite like it because it makes the bag more original and personalised to me :) the leather is very stiff and shiny which is nice and its brand new and smells like proper leather, however when scratches do appear I think it just adds character to the bag as it will last me so many years :)

So overall I believe this bag is so good for many reasons and also will get better in time as its one of them bags you will keep for so many years :) I definitely think they are worth the price.

So which bag are you in love with at the moment and if you have a Cambridge Satchel what are your thought?

Hope you've enjoyed reading and speck soon

Revision and Exams

Hello again :) today's post is a bit of a boring one but it's a large part of my life at the moment (unfortunately)

As with many other people my age and younger its coming to that time of the year where exams and revision take over your life because we are lead to believe they are the most important things in our life. For the past couple of months I've been getting ready for the final exams of my first year of university. Even though these do not count towards my final exam, me being me needs to prove to myself that I can do well and I also believe that this will help me with the transition of workload between years one and two of university. 

As you can see from the pictures revision makes my room a mess as I have all my books and notes around me at all times. I do stress quite a lot round exam time and as my first one is tomorrow lets just say i'm not exactly relaxed right now :P however it will all be worth while as I have such a long summer :)

So how do you cope with exams and revision? Got any tips?

Speck to you soon and hope you enjoyed reading 

Bye :)
