Re-capping my 2015

So I haven't blog since last year because I have been caught up in so much stuff that just took over. I want to start blogging again because I want to use it as space where I can be who I want to be, say what I want to say and be my little corner where I can look back on events whenever.  2015 has honestly gone waaaayyyyyy to fast for my liking but it has been a pretty great year in my eyes. 

The first 5 months of year was me coming to the end of my GCSE's and just going over things and preparing for my exams. I can remember the 11th of June was my last exam,  think it was my physics exam as well as being my leavers day where everyone dressed up in their smart dresses and taking pictures with everyone as this would be the last time we would see each other as a whole year group before we would all go off on our separate ways. It felt weird because these are people who I have spent 5 years going to school with and all of a sudden it had come to an end except if you were going on to sixth form which I though I was going to do if I got the results. I had to wait till August.

In the meantime I had finished school and  had the longest summer ahead of me - half the month of June, July and August off. I honestly wondered what I was going to do in that time. I was so happy to finally unwind and not have to stress exams (except the results). I went out a lot, hiking to places where I hadn't explored, beach days and seeing my friends.

But after a while I got so bored because I had done everything I wanted to do.  

During July I had my prom at the beautiful Deer Park, in the middle of nowhere but the type of building that reminded me of a wedding venue which I think it actually was because of the white building and the grounds it had. You could spend all day taking photo's. It was a great evening where we had a buffet, photo booth, chocolate fountain, casino, rodeo, bar and a dance floor where we danced into the night and I could tell most of the teachers had a bit one to many hahaha! 

Then came August, I would find out my results, felt like a nervous wreck walking down to school which felt weird as I hadn't been there since I left. I could see everyone's emotions from overwhelmed to others crying because this determined the grades you could go to college or sixth form. I collected the brown envelope and I honestly didn't want to open it, I was actually going to open it when I got home but because everyone has opened theirs I felt like I needed to, so my friend just told me to open it and I did. I was honestly shocked (in a good way) with how they turned out because I thought I'd failed most of them but I got decent grades. Although last minute I applied for college and was worried my application was to late as it was coming to end of summer. As me and my friend walked down to the college, I was honestly petrified at how massive it was and how I'd even cope with SO many people all different ages. But I had my interview and had the grades to get in, I was literally OVER THE MOON!

Come September I started college, I finally felt very independent travelling on my own and making my way to college and back. One step into the big wide world haha might sound silly to others but I don't care because since I've been I definitely come out my shell and become much more of a  confident and sociable person to people from different backgrounds, people I never imaged I could talk to and get along with, as before I was the shyest person ever and wouldn't say "boo to a ghost" as my Nan would say. I've made 3 very good friends who are just incredible and get along with SOOOOOOOOOO well! And one's who I hope stay friends for life with as cheesy as that sounds.

I also went to go and see the new James Bond film which I'd been dying to see and I can honestly say I loved it so much and to see it follow on from Skyfall, it came back BIGGER and BETTER, so much more action, it definitely something I want to buy when it comes out on DVD.  

The beginning of December I got the chance to go to The Clothes Show live by my textiles teacher in school. Of course I said YES to going because I hadn't been since 2013! So glad I went because I got a picture with Jake Quickenden, yes you read that right Jake Quickenden! He was literally just walking about casually with his friend and when someone pointed him out he was literally meters away from me! I couldn't quite believe my eyes to see someone off the telly - I'm a celeb and X factor right before me, very surreal. He was much taller than I thought in his tight black jeans and leather coat. Unfortunately he went outside to have a fag and we waited until he came back in but wasn't so luckily. So as us being the fan girls we were, yes we chased after him but he went into this dressing shop thing, dam it. But, buttttttt he came out and me and my friend didn't know whether to go after him but we did as he was getting away and that was our only chance. "Jake Jake please can we have a picture?" "course you can" he was so polite and nice. After he went I was squealing and jumping because I've never met anyone famous before, now I see why girls get crazy and scream when they see someone famous ahahaha! Joey Essex was also there and girls absolutely screamed at him and there was a massive crowd around him putting their phones in the air to get a picture of him, something I've never experienced, it was all a bit hectic. But after the many failed attempts I did get a picture of him.

But the rest of the day was awesome, I bought myself a Barry M bag which I bought last time as well as the bag of magazines that came with a mascara (very pleased!).

The last thing we did was go to the Fashion Catwalk, the thing I was most excited about to see! It was even better than last time I went, such great songs along with some very very good looking male models hehehe everyone whooped and screamed at them. No but really it was INCREDIBLE, it was so nice to see modern unique styles on the models and them dancing to routines put together.

Not long ago Christmas had arrived and went so quickly, although I had the best Christmas EVER! It was such a lovely day spending it with my family and to actually have my Nan come and spend it with us was the icing on the cake. It was tough getting her out the house and in the car whilst the drizzly rain was hitting my face but we managed. Mum made the best dinner ever (like always) and completely filled me up as well as having a profiteroles tree stand, dipped in caramel sauce to stick onto the stand then drizzle with chocolate and sprinkles of mini white chocolate stars and small balls of popping candy which was HEAVEN and I ate to much of it and felt awful afterwards hahaha! To top off the Christmas evening we watched telly - Strictly Come Dancing, Call the Midwife, Eastenders and Mrs Browns Boys. What a row of my favourite shows!

                      

And here is 2016. I hope this is a year like 2013 was (that was the best). I hope to succeed in college and come out with great results. I have some new years resolutions:

1). To stop worrying about what other people think. Let it go. (haha tried to be serious but Frozen ruined it)

2). I know everyone says to eat healthier and never sticks to it but I want to start eating good food that's good for my body and work out when the new gym arrives. 

3) Work my best and succeed in college.

4) Meet with friends that I've known from school and spend more time with them.

5) Post more regularly on this blog!!!!

6) Cut down on spending (don't know if I can do this or not, we'll see)
