Goodbye 2015

The New Year is almost upon us, which means it's also time for my last blog post of the year. Crazily it will be the 6th consecutive year that I've written one of these on this blog!

Twenty fifteen was definitely a busy and eventful year.

I'll go into 2016 grateful for all the new people I've met and become friends with during this year and for all the old friends who've stuck around; whilst also remembering those who sadly didn't make it through to twenty sixteen. This year I made a conscious decision to say yes to more opportunities and to try to maintain a positive outlook. It's meant that I've done new things, met new people, and generally just worried less about stupid things. Keeping level headed and not stressing too much definitely makes getting stuff done so much easier and it will be something I'll try and continue into next year too. It's true that sometimes pushing yourself out of your comfort zone is worth doing - regardless of what the outcome may be.

It's difficult to sum up an entire year in a few sentences so I thought I'd include some photos from 2015. As always, thank you to all the people who've made this year a good one and helped me through any of the not so great parts. I honestly couldn't hope to know better people!

Who knows what 2016 will bring, but here's hoping it'll be a good one!

I'll be writing more about what I actually did this year, plus my aims for 2016 in my next post!

But until then, Happy New Year guys.

Much love,

Laura.

Priorities & Christmas

So, I think it's pretty safe to say that I've neglected my blog over the past few months. The notorious third year of university has been crazy busy already and I'm only one term in... I guess writing blog posts dropped down my list of priorities - but of course, here I am again, typing away late at night filling the blank space with my rambley posts.

I know university is important, and that I have a lot of reading and dissertation work to do. But now is the only real break I've got before I finish my final exams in the summer and graduate; and let's be real, a degree only gets you so far in life. So despite everything I 'need' to do  I'm taking this opportunity to catch up with the people I haven't seen in months - pretty sure I wouldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for my friends and family.

I hope everyone has a lovely Christmas and makes time to see the people they care about.
As always I'll be doing an end of 2015 post and my new list of goals for 2016 in the New Year, so those will be up soon.

But most importantly, Merry Christmas guys!

Laura.
