Happy New Year!

Happy new year to you all and of course, I am going to discuss new years resolutions/goals for the year ahead. Although it is a very cliché thing to do - I must admit I consciously make a decision to set some new goals for the year. Do we do this to feel a sense of accomplishment and confirm that we can make some changes to maybe our not so fun great lives? Personally, I normally set goals on my birthday - I think it makes a little more sense. However, I don't  think we should have to wait until our birthdays or new years to make changes. If we really want to make the changes in our lives we would just make the decision to do it straight away. Why should you have to wait until your birthday or new years to be the new you? You have control over the decisions you make for your life so why wait until the Instagram posts indicate a time for you to do so? 

Do we set goals for other people? Or do we truly set them for ourselves? Do we set these goals to get recognition from other people to show that we are moving on with our lives and aren't bums or what do you call it, ‘basic’?

When we set ourselves challenges let’s do it for us and not for the people around us to clap their hands and pat us on the back. If we know change needs to happen - make it happen. 

If you have set any goals or resolutions for this year I hope you achieve them, and if you get to a point where you think you won’t be able to achieve what you set - don't worry keep trying you’ll do it, even if takes you a while. 

Happy New Year :D

How to balance …everything

‘Dear dairy'…? 

How will I balance my studies, professional work and social life? I have no idea - but I know I will do all three - I have no choice but to. Okay maybe my social life will be rocky at times and that’s okay - but sanity is so important. 

I’m not really sure why I am writing this but I think it would be nice to see the progression of how I handle all three over the next two years. Interesting right? Maybe for some - maybe not - I am going to write about it anyway. 

If I can’t express myself in writing I’ll post pictures - hopefully that should tell my story. 

I’m super excited to start my MA at Central Saint Martins! What an amazing university to attend. I still can't believe it - I am so grateful. In some ways I feel that I am not that cool to attend and the more I have thought about it - the more sweaty I get - ew sorry, anxious. But then I thought - you know what I got in because of who I am, so I’m going to be me, dress like me, talk like me, and walk like me. We will see what happens.

With this being said, I am sweating balls for the first day - mainly because I have to do a presentation about myself. How do you do a presentation about yourself without sounding narcissistic or like a show off? You can’t say - well you know my aspirations for the future are okay, bland, not that great. And what do I even wear? If I don't make any friends on the first day after my presentation, I know I either didn't dress well, sound well - or I’m just a bland person. 

This is all getting very negative - sorry. 

It will be just fine and I am going to have the most productive, fun, worthwhile time over the next two years. I pray I do all three amazingly. 

Let’s do this and welcome to my adventure.
