Dealing with Stress and Anxiety
I’d like to begin this blog post with a precursor. Actually, several. It is a fact that everybody will and does get stressed/anxious/nervous at some point in their lives. It is entirely normal and an essential part of human nature. The nerves and stress we feel often motivate us to achieve our best and although uncomfortable […]
My Autumn Playlist
Just thought I’d share the link to my Autumn playlist on 8tracks. If you hadn’t heard of it, 8tracks is an awesome playlist sharing website where you can choose the genre and mood of music you want to listen to, and it recommends playlists that other people have made. It’s all free and it’s a […]
Mid-Degree Crisis
*Ok, so technically it’s an end-of-degree crisis but that just wasn’t as catchy. So if you didn’t know, I am an English Literature student currently in my third and final year of study. I’ve spent the last two and a bit years studying everything from Bede to Byron and now it’s come to a point […]
Review Book #4: Enduring Love, Ian McEwan
Ok, so I have two confessions to make. 1) I completely forgot about my reading list for the year… https://foreveronalilo.wordpress.com/2013/02/11/7-books-im-going-to-read-this-year/ 2) I also completely forgot that I read book #4 Enduring Love over the summer… Oops. Basically I have a terrible memory. Let’s crack on! Having read and enjoyed a couple of Ian McEwan’s books (Atonement, […]
Autumn Leaves
I love Autumn. A lot. And to celebrate my love of autumn, I took the opportunity of a lovely sunny autumnal afternoon to take some photos with my Bridge camera. I’m really happy with how they came out. I love experimenting with different angles, but next I need to get into editing and post-photo production. […]
Meeting (Fangirling over) Patrick Ness
On the weekend of the 5th and 6th October, myself and my housemate went to Cheltenham Literature Festival. You won’t see much evidence of this, however, because I cleverly forgot my camera and to take any photos which is annoying because I wanted to share it all with you. But never mind, I am not […]
Turning 21
On Tuesday (1st of October) I turned 21 and in doing so became a proper fully-fledged grown up person. (Ahh!) Simply put, it was one of the nicest (birth)days I’ve ever had and I cannot thank my family and friends enough for how generous and lovely they were and how special they made it. Because […]
Photographing Lake Como
Hello! Again, I’ve been very lax with my blogging recently and I apologise, I’ve really had no excuse. But I thought it was about time to share some photos I took whilst on holiday with my family in Lake Como. They were all taken with my Nikon CoolPix P510 and I’m really happy with how […]
Review: The Rosie Project, Graeme Simsion
“Meet Don Tillman. Don is getting married. He just doesn’t know who to yet. But he has designed a very detailed questionnaire to help him find the perfect woman. One thing he already knows, though, is that it’s not Rosie. Absolutely, completely, definitely not.” This is just a quick little post to say how much […]
My Trip to Cambodia #2: Sightseeing
I’ve been doing a terrible job at keeping up with my blogging and it’s now been a whole month since I came back from Cambodia! It’s probably about time that I wrote the second instalment of my adventures there: all about the sightseeing and touristy things I did. While Cambodia may not be the tourism […]
