Here we go.

As I said in my May Goals post, I wanted this month to finally be the month I wrote my post about University experience. To be quite honest, I’ve really been putting it off, because it’s kind of different to the sort of positive stuff I would like to write. BUT I read the lovely Erins post and it persuaded me to just go for it, so here we are.

I couldn’t really think of how to phrase and write this in order to break it up, so I thought I would do it in like a Pros and Cons list.

We’ll see how it goes as always.

Let's Chat: University Pros and Cons

People always seem to think it's so incredible and weird that I live on an Island.

I remember my first Uni interview and I said where I came from, a fellow interviewee said:
'you got on a boat by yourself? a boat? by yourself?'
Urgh, yes. I was more impressed that I got a train round London by myself to be honest.

I live on the Isle of Wight (no it's not the Isle of Man). I have done since birth (excluding Uni ofc). It's where I will always call home.

So I thought that writing a post about some of my favourite things about living on the Isle of Wight would be a great way to break out of my Blogging Slump.

Island Life

It's not all glitz and glamour ya know!
In fact, no, it's not glitz and glamour at all.

So to sort out this common misconception I thought I'd do a couple of posts about my life as a holiday rep, both in Corfu and Lapland, both work days and fun days. They've both been so different so I couldn't combine them into one post, so today it is CORFU AND WORKING.

Life of a Holiday Rep: Corfu

AYE
Another exciting post!
(why does that sound so sarcastic, this genuinely is exciting... for me anyway!)

Again, we all know I love an challenge, so when my Dad suggested he would buy me a chance to climb over the O2 for my birthday/Christmas/who knows, I jumped at the chance!

For those not in London/living under a rock, the O2 is this great building, which kind of looks like a big tent but has huge gigs, events and places to eat inside. Here's a picture of it from kind of above, looks kind of unsafe to stand on top of, eh?

REVIEW: Up at the O2

"When a man tires of London, he tires of life"

Samuel Johnson

This quote has always intrigued me. As someone who has a very on-off relationship with London, I thought it would be interesting to write about it, even for me to be honest.

Growing up, going to London was always such an exciting adventure, getting the boat, the train and then spending a day whizzing round the sights. I was always terrified of the Tube, but when I used it everyday for the Olympics I got used to it.

I moved to London when I had just turned 19 for University. I say I moved to London, but I lived in Zone 6, studied in Zone 4 and went into Central maybe every other week. But it was a stepping stone! I lived in a lovely flat with one other lad and it was all jolly.

London and Me

I am always up for a challenge. I love it. I’m so stubborn that I would never let myself give up on a challenge unless absolutely necessary.

So I sign up for things before I have a chance to really think about it, and then next thing you know I’ve done it!

What I wanted to talk about today isn’t a new challenge, as I've done it abut six times before, but it's one that I really try to do every year as it means a lot to me.

I Would Walk 500 Miles

Pinch, punch, first of the... OH. WAIT. I'm a bit late.
(also a poet but what can ya do?)

Following on from last weeks April Goals post, I'm happy to say that for the majority I did keep up with my goals, YAY.
Although unfortunately I haven't planned any new adventure, the big hole in my bank account is keeping me grounded for the moment.

So I thought it'd be a great idea to keep this up monthly, to see where I was at in the future, and where I'm heading.

LETS GO! (ESKIMO!)

Goals for May 2016

I’ve been so busy this week - JUST what I needed!!

I was up to something really exciting yesterday, which is why I wasn’t on Twitter very much, and I just really wanted to share it with you guys!!

As we know, I am a TV Graduate so it should be absolutely no surprise that I LOVE going to see TV Shows LIVE. I love the buzz of being on set, the excitement that gathers speed every single time, how everybody and everything just glues together to create on brilliant finished product. I wouldn’t care what I was doing, as long as I was involved in that excitement.
