And so the most hyped up time of the year is approaching. Bank accounts decrease, credit card bills increase... what more could one want! Oh, and you get paid early in December so you have to stretch the cash to make it to January! Thats why January is the worst month for recuperation. But don't fret! That's why they introduce all of the sales... so you spend more money!!! YEY!!!
I don't hate xmas if thats the vibe your getting from my first paragraph, it sounds all doom and gloom but I like to just imprint the truth on people instead of being disillusioned. This year is going to be tight for me you would think - being at uni and all - but it truly isn't, i have enough money left to buy each and every one of you a present!... from poundland. No, no i don't. But i'll get by as each and everyone of us does!
i don't want to sound all moralistic or anything here, but do young children really know the true MEANING of xmas? "PRESENTS!" yes i thought so... Well i know it's an important time of year for those that are deeply religious also, but i believe its just an excellent chance to drink, be with the family and stuff your face with chocolate! hahaha! you weren't expecting that now were you?? Didn't think so...
Only 2 more grueling weeks of university to go and then i'm left off the hook. Well you would think so, but i have deadlines in OVER xmas, how dissapointing!! They want to increase the prices of uni when they are draining our souls of all free time we have. (yeah so i chose to go SHOOT ME, i can moan all i like!)
New Years Eve, so over rated, just another chance to do exactly the same as xmas day! Not like i will be doing anything except for snoring through the fireworks and screams of HAPPY NEW YEAR. "Yeah wake me up when its a well deserved year like... in the next millennium"
Xmas tree up at home, university room - lifeless. Such a dismal thing about xmas at uni, need to buy xmas decorations when at home you can tell that some ornaments are decades old, probably great-great grandmas hand made angel that runs through the family - don't get me wrong i'm all for holding onto family memories but when you have some crappy poundland papery decorations - xmas spirit is a little low.
Has anyone seen the price of nuts this year?? It may just be me but seriously, 3.50 for a bag that is the size of crisp packet, no thanks id rather go spend it on some off license booze to drain the thought of the extorsion of it all...
Happy Holidays all, hope you have a great day and don't forget to crack out the advent calendars! (dont forget to also buy them in early january; nothing beats cheap chocolate that has the surprise of opening ALL days in 1 ey!!!

So here we are, The Beginning?
So, I'm not the most exciting person you will ever meet, neither will I be the most uninteresting bore. I don't wish to sound like an Oxford lecturer and I don't wish to sound rough. It's just to see how interesting my life really is, if it is at all?... (Lost, yes I am too)
So University is a big place. Especially when your living in a whole new environment; living the party, drunken crazes and a lot of regret... That's not how I live the Uni life. I don't sit there forcing myself to do work, ha, of course not. I just find different ways to keep myself occupied; films, socialising (in the day), shopping and... even more shopping.
That's one thing I probably don't have a problem with, shopping; I love to buy new clothes, shoes or accessories. As said by a friend of mine, it is probably a female instinct to buy new fashionable outfits to compete in the jungle out there... Ugh, what am I talking about, I hate buying the "latest fashion" why should we dress like that because Cheryl Cole wore it? I don't care, I just throw some matching clothes on at the beginning of the day and hope for the best. People who go around following other trends that have been set, really won't get far in life, you have to be yourself to get into the "business". Or... I forget, there's so many things I'm told they override eachother...
Trains have become a big part of my life now, ever since starting University. Travelling home on them is the worst, and back again. Trains in the Northern area are constantly busy, I'm afraid If I cough a new outbreak of disease will kick in due to the space restrictions these trains offer, I mean, seriously, How many people have a train to catch at 16:45? I didn't expect it to just be me, but come on, I never reach a break. Carrying a suitcase, bag and my weight is enough without having someone stare me down thank you very much.
I must say it is interesting to see how much these stations are different from one another... Some cities have humongous stations for people to lose themselves in, let alone their children. Whereas other small towns struggle on 1 platform with 1 ticket office in the pouring down rain.
Why do I ponder these things you may ask?
It's just one of those aspects of life that you don't really think about until you experience it, so you might as well when you are placed in the situation, that's what you were there in the first place for. Unless your lost... like me?
