OOTD | 30/5/14

 This month I have done so much shopping and my excuse has been 'IT'S MY BIRTHDAY MONTH!' (a haul may be coming soon!). I've been living in Nottingham for a year now and I've never really had a proper look at the city, last week me and my flatmate Megan went on a little shopping spree and ended up looking in a couple of the vintage shops for the first time. We ended up in Cow Vintage and I was like a little kid in a candy store, I picked up these really nice high waisted  jeans for £25. I paired them with these really cute pink flatforms I got from ASOS which I have named my 'barbie shoes'!, I absolutely love them they're not an in your face pink so you can literally wear them with anything.

LIFE AS A STUDENT | GET ORGANISED

Since starting university, there have been many occasions where I felt like things are being thrown at me all at once and out of the blue. I do feel that staying organised, planning your weeks and just getting things done makes student life just that tiny bit easier. I've come up with a few tips on how to get organized and if it helps at least one person I'll be a very happy girl.

Get An Academic Diary/Notebook

Writing down what you are doing during the week and then planning around it really helps. So if you want to go out Saturday night but you have an assignment to do, you plan your week around making sure you have it done before Saturday.

Budgeting - Get A Small Academic Diary
Before starting university I thought I was amazing at saving money and budgeting.. I thought wrong! In my first and second term I found myself pretty poor after a month and half ( I learnt from my mistakes, and I have done really well in the third term). So unless you have a money tree I'd advise that you get budgeting

Use Your Phone

If you've got a smart phone; calenders, to do lists and planning apps are a great way of keeping organised. Although I do feel that having everything written is much better.

Have A Separate Folder For Each Module
When I first started university I bought a big folder for all my modules and after a couple of weeks I realized that it just wasn't going to work. So I bought a smaller folder for each of my modules, this way I could actually fit the folder in my bag (TIP: Now the year is over I have taken all the work out of my small module folders and put them into my big folder. This way I have all my first year work in one place and I can use the small folders for modules in second year)

Spend A Couple Of Minutes At The Beginning Of The Week To Plan Your Week

This ties in with my very first point but whenever you think its appropriate to plan your week, whether it be every week or every day

Plan Your Outfit The Day Before

Now, In the morning if you take longer picking out your outfit than you do actually getting ready then this definitely applies to you.

Prepare Your Bag The Night Before

Rushing out of your house, getting to uni and then finding out that you've forgotten something is very annoying!

Actually STICK TO IT!
Now there is no point planning your week if your not actually going to stick to the plan is there ?!

OOTD | ''OMG Blossom you're not wearing black!''

I went out to meet my good friend Emmanuel and the first thing he said was ''You're not wearing black for once'' (which is a great achievement for me). Unfortunately the sun didn't come out to play but that made it the perfect opportunity to wear this beautiful pink boyfriend coat I bought myself for my birthday. I wore it with a cute little crop top from boohoo which screams summer, a basic pair of blue jeans and my flatforms from New Look (that don't have a very big platform :( ).

Why Do You Blog?

One day 4 months ago I literally woke up and decided I was going to start blogging. In September I moved to Nottingham and started studying Broadcast Journalism at university. One question that is constantly asked  at university is 'What do you want to be?' and I felt like I was the only one that didn't have an answer. I felt like everyone around me had found their niche and I was the only one running around like a headless chicken.

I started to realize that my first year of university was going by really fast and I had nothing to show for it. So I started this blog to document my life and interests, it'll be interesting to look back at my first couple of blog posts in 5 years time and see how much has changed. I don't know if blogging is going to my 'thing' in the future but I love it so much I DO I DO!
