Merry Christmas!

Hello Everyone! Merry Christmas and a happy new year! I hope everyone has had a lovely day, filled with thoughtful presents, lots of family and yummy food! And with Christmas over there is a week until the year ends. Will try and update twice before new years but don't count on it. I am very busy with holiday parties and work. Also is it weird that my favourite present today was a map? It is of the East Coast of the U.S. where I should be travelling along this summer before (hopefully) going to University. I am pretty sure it is the first thing my dad has actually picked out for me in years, which I guess is why I love it so much. There isn't really much else to say.

Merry Christmas!

6 Months, 2 Weeks and 3 Days

So I have done a pretty poor job of blogging. I have had this blog for almost a year and you would think that by now I would know what I was going and what to write about. Well I don't. But that pretty much explains my life. I just pretend I know what I am doing until I hopefully figure it out. I just go along with everyones plans and tweak it here and there but I don't really make any of my own decisions. Like some sort of puppet. I have different people pulling my stings and telling me what to do, what to say, what to think. The only thing they don't control is what I say on here. By not allowing anyone to know I blog, it gives me the power and freedom to say how I feel without the strings tugging at my mind. I am free.

But shouldn't life always be like that? Why do I have to keep secrets and lie in order to be who I am without judgement? Well, I guess you guys are probably judging me but I don't know who you are and you don't know who I am so that doesn't bug me much. It is when the people I care about that judge me, and those people who hurt me.

My teachers see me as a girl who will probably fail. Again. And that I am just being over hopeful about the possibility of going to University. They just go along with this act because they are paid to. Not because they care about my accomplishments. They all have very low expectations of me which in turn gives me low expectations of myself. They don't believe that I will pass and I will do my best to prove them wrong. And myself. Just like I always try to do. And sometimes I do prove them wrong. But when I do I don't get the reaction I want. Even though they are surprised they just want me to do better. Because what I achieve will never be good enough.

Then there is my friends. I can easily split all my friends into two categories. The ones from school who I see all the time, talk to all the time, and think they know me when they don't. And the ones who are now gone. At a stage of their lives which I have not got to yet. The people I thought I didn't fit in with but strangely enough the longer we are apart the closer I feel to them. Like family. When they were here I never felt that way. I thought they were just my friends from school for the time being. But now they mean a lot more to me than that. I love them. They are family to me. And I don't tell many people I love them. In fact I never used the word until about a year ago. Sometimes I feel like they are the only people who accept me for who I am and let me be who I want to be. At school, my friends are always deciding things for me. And they have an image of what they think I am like and I end up becoming that. They think they know who I am and I just let them. What is the point in arguing with them if they won't ever believe me. They say I do things I haven't and feel things I don't.  And that is the truth. Their truth. Not mine. But what is the difference really?

And of course there is the main two puppeteers of my life. My parents. And just like every teenager, I am going to whine about them to. They have expectations of me which I have not ever wanted to achieve. They have this perfect little image of me getting good grades, being talented, going to university, getting a good job and having a stable life and family. I don't want that. Not for a while at least. I want to see the world, discover new things, discover who I am. I don't mind if I don't exactly have a stable lifestyle and a lot of money. As long as I am happy. Because that is all I want. My parents order me around and guilt me into things which is how they control my actions and emotions.

I want to be myself. I want to be honest. I want to stand up for what I believe in. I want to have fun. I want to be proud of what I have accomplished without being put down for it. I want to see and discover everything. I want to know who I am. I want to live. Live a life that is my own. And I guess I will eventually. It will just take 6 months, 2 weeks and 3 days. And then I will be free.

My New Best Friend Drama

Hello peeps! I dunno why I said that. That sounded weird. Anyway, today I am going to tell you all about the person who has caused the biggest amount of drama in my life. My best friend. Or at least very good friend. Due to me wanting to be all mysterious and basically refuse to give you too much info on who I am and where I live, I am going to give him a fake name. So let's call him Dave. And let's call our other friend Matt. This way it sounds more like a made up story instead of the truth. So no, these are not there real names.

So if you are a regular reader then you would know that I am repeating the year so I had to make new friends. I quickly became friends with Dave and Matt. The three of us were in almost every class together so naturally we talked a lot. I especially became good friends with Dave and we were in every class together. So it didn't take long for rumours to form about us being a couple. Rumours didn't affect me much as I was used to them in the past. It did affect him more than me. I guess it just didn't bug me cause I knew the truth. I had no feelings for him beyond friendship. And I was perfectly fine with that.

Then Matt had a party. Where everyone got a little drunk and yes, me and Dave got a bit cuddly but nothing happened beyond that. I was just a natural flirt when I drink. Okay, that is a lie. I am a flirt when I am sober too. But that isn't the point. So that was in half term. About a month ago. And straight after that I went to Israel. At the airport I get a message from a mutual friend asking me what happened at the party which confused me. Apparently in my two day absence more rumours had spread saying that I had slept with Dave. Which didn't happen. We didn't even kiss. Nothing. Of course no one believed me except for my really good friends.

But Dave didn't do anything to help the situation. He didn't deny anything and make jokes that to most people who didn't realise thought it was the truth. I also admitted to Matt that I nearly got with someone at a wedding in Israel and he told Dave who told me not to tell anyone. Which is weird I know.

Life continues as normal until Saturday night when me and my friend go out with some other friends. Long story short, I get super drunk and send a stupid message to Dave about sort of cheating on him or something. This was reference to an inside joke that he made when we talk to other people we are cheating even though we are not together. I don't remember the exact message. In fact I don't remember sending anything at all. And it was on Snapchat so I can't read back. He ignored me for three days. Longest we have ever gone without talking. I didn't understand why he was mad until my friend told me today. She told me what I had said to him (according to him), and realised that I had jokingly said I cheated on him or something. Anyway he reacted badly and now he hates my guts. In fact he is completely livid.

I still don't fully understand why though. I mean, I know it was a pretty shitty thing to say but I was incredibly drunk. I don't even remember saying it. I am surprised that I even managed to form proper sentences.And even if I had got with someone else, its not like I am actually cheating. I am single and allowed to hook up with whoever I want. He doesn't have the right to be mad.

Then Matt tells me that Dave told him everything including that I got with Dave at the party. To which I respond by saying that he was lying. Why would he tell him that when nothing happened? so yeah, I am a little mad at him for that as well as for overreacting to this whole stupid drunken message.

Right now he is still ignoring me and it looks like he will refuse to talk to me for a while.

So what should I do?

Israel Holidays

Hey everyone! It has been a long time. Sorry, I know. I am a bad person who makes false promises. Anyway, today I am going to tell you about my trip to Israel! Which was awesome by the way. We went to my cousins wedding.

Day 1 and 2-
We spent the first day travelling up country (because everywhere from where I live is up country. Hint for any stalkers out there as to where I live), and stayed with some old friends for the night. It was pretty uneventful except for seeing some old friends which was night. The next morning we go to the airport where we have to go through security which was a stranger than normal experience. The security women person asked as really random weird questions to prove that we were in fact a regular family and not a terrorist or something. (which I am not, by the way in case you hadn't figured that out from reading my blog). After all that we go on our flight where there is a huge thunderstorm so I was pretty convinced that the plane was going to be struck by lightning or something and crash into the med. We then arrive and I get too see my aunt and uncle for the first time in nearly ten years which was nice. The only issue was when I realised that there was going to be ten of us squished into a very small apartment. This means there was my aunt and uncle (from Colombia) in one room, my other aunt and uncle (from Israel. Parents of the cousin who is getting married) in a small spare room and my parents in my cousins room (my cousin Laura, who is the sister of the one getting married, Juan). This left me, my brother, Laura and Juan all in the living room for the next week. So yeah it was a bit cramped.

Day 3-
Nothing much happened on this day except my cousin Laura coming home from the army base. Everyone at a certain age in Israel have to join the army for two years if the are a citizen. I also went on a supermarket trip with my aunt which was quite challenging when the writing is not only in another language but the letters are different too. I mean I thought it was hard to distinguish between the different types of herbs but trying to find the sour cream was an impossible task. Not to mention everything is also kosher which made things complicated. That night I also realised how much similar the rest of my Colombian family is to my mother and me too. They are all crazy. No. We are all crazy. We all grabbed silly hats which were for the wedding and played music and started singing random songs till the late hours of the morning when the neighbours came over to complain. Whoops.

Day 4 and 5-
For those of you who don't know, from Friday to Saturday night, it is shabbat in Israel which means almost everything is closed and everyone tends to stay at home and follow some religious tradition which I think involves using no power. So we had all decided to leave my aunt and uncle at the apartment and drive down with the rest of my relatives to the Dead Sea. It only took two hours to cross the country and I even saw a camel on the way down. Soon we reached signs of the different depths, watching the number go lower and lower until we reached the negatives and beyond. By the time we got to the bottom of what looked like Mars, it was already getting dark but that didn't stop us from quickly changing and running to the salty ocean which stung like hell in particular areas if you know what I mean. It was one of the strangest experiences of my fairly short life so far as the water forces your body to float. Basically you would have to be pretty stupid to drown. After that and spending some time in the spa in the hotel, where we would be staying the night, and went to get ready for dinner. Dinner was a big buffet of interesting and mysterious food. I couldn't tell you what I ate because I don't have a clue but it was all very good. Not long after, my cousin Laura went to bed early in the room we were sharing because she was getting a cold. And of course, me being me, I ended up getting allergies and sneezing along with her all night. We stayed up all night watching weird and random shows where everyone ends up getting brutally murdered no matter what show we were watching. The next day we hung out, sunbathed, swam and then headed back to my uncles apartment after a stop in Jerusalem where we waited an hour for Shabbat to finish so that the restaurants open and we could get dinner.

Day 6-
The day of the wedding was a little crazy. We went to go and help set up and I had to climb nearly ten feet up a tree to put up balloons. Then we went back, got ready and before I knew it the wedding had started. I quickly discovered that the ceremony wouldn't start for another two hours so the only solution was to drink in the meantime. I met my cousins friends who were all a little bit older than me and from different countries so there was a bit of a language barrier problem. But that was quickly solved with more alcohol! The rest of the night we danced and drank and had an amazing time with my family. I was honestly sad to leave at 2am, still ready for the party to continue. Therefore, I suggested we go the beach near the apartment. So me, my cousin Laura and two other guys all go to the beach at nearly 3am where I attempt to sober up a bit. After we returned to the apartment the night was sadly over.

Day 7 and 8-
Unfortunately, the day after the wedding we had to go home. So whilst mum was nursing her hangover, we all quickly packed and said goodbye to out family. We flew back over to the UK and went back to the friend's house, where we stayed before. Then the next day was the long drive down to where I live.

So there is what happened on my short holiday to Israel. I should hopefully be posting about the other drama going on right now soon but not making promises this time!

Adapting

So here is a little update on my life lately. So I went to my first university open day the other day which was great. I really liked it there. I mean it was a bit stressful to walk around and have your parents hounding you to ask questions and so on but it was still good. Other than that, not much has been going on except trying to adapt to being in the year below, all my friends and classmates gone to move on with their lives whilst I spend time with people I had never spoken to until a year ago. Also trying to adapt to the fact that I have gone to hanging out with mostly girls to mostly boys which is different. And surprisingly comes with more drama than I was expecting. 

For example, my friend and I are retaking last years economic exams and we are sitting in on a class in the year below to revise. So there is this girl called Sasha who is a year younger than my friend and two years younger than me. A new girl who is in our class and I thought she was nice but didn't really know her or anything. And then I end up leaving this class temporarily because they were studying a part that I found easy. But apparently in my absence this girl steals my seat next to my friend and basically becomes obsessed with him. Constantly talking about him with her friends and has now even moved to sit next to him when he goes to breakfast in the morning. 

But now she gives me evil glares all the time. What the heck did I do? Seriously, if anyone has any suggestions then that would be great because I am clueless. This girl hates me now and I have only ever spoken to her once. So what if I am friends with the boy she likes? I was friends with him longer than she has even been to the school and I am not going to stop hanging out with one of the few good friends I have at this school just to please a stalker. 

Then today, I have to go back to this class just for today to take a test. And I get there before her and take back my old seat  (where I sit for my A2 Economics and sometimes my business studies class too, by the way) and am already laughing and chatting with my friend when she walks in. She is halfway to my seat when she realises I am sat in my old spot and she goes from smiling to glaring at me pretty quickly. So she turns around and goes back to her old seat and sends me evil looks throughout the lesson as I ignore her and take my test. Then me and my friend both finish very early and have to sit around for half an hour and end up secretly talking and making words on the calculator, causing her to glare at me even more. So by the time we were allowed to leave I was kind of relieved. I have to go back to that class regularly soon which is going to suck.

Other than that not much is going on. I have been writing a bit lately so feel free to check out my other blog or my Wattpad books.

So anyone else ever have this problem?

New Blog!

Hey guys! So big news! I have made another blog just for my fiction stories for those of you without Wattpad! Hopefully it will be updated more often than this one because instead of waiting around for interesting things to happen in my life to write about, I can make it up whenever I want. So please check it out by clicking on the link.

Love you all!

Starting School with a Bang!

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a little while but for once I have a pretty legit reason which is what the post is about.

So as most of you know, I just started my last ever year of school (for real this time) and going back was pretty much the same as every year except that I was hanging out with my friends in the year below me (now my year) and a lot of people that I went to school with in the past 5 years were no longer walking down the halls. It was fine though. Not as hard as I was expecting to go to school whilst a lot of my friends are off at uni. I mean, of course I am a little jealous that they get to go and start off their lives now but I know mine will start soon. Only a 8 months to go!

Anyway, as I was saying I have been hanging out with different people to usual but are fast becoming good friends of mine. Now don't be thinking that my excuse for not posting is cause I started school, cause it's not. That would be a pretty poor reason. No the reason I haven't posted is because I haven't really been able to write because I got injured in a car accident on Monday.

Now, before you freak out (if you care at all), no one was hurt. Well except for spraining my right wrist and possibly a broken finger or two. So what happened? It was a pretty usual day, and me and two of my newer guy friends were going out for lunch. Of course I would say yes because I didn't exactly have a huge supply of friends this year. So I get into my friend Ben's car and we are all leaving school. Now a thing you need to know about my school is that it is on top of a big hill, and the entrance is a very twisty road that otherwise resembles a snake. Which is also why we refer to it as "The Snake". So as usual in England, it had been raining all day and the roads were a little bit slippery. As we turn around the bend, the car skids and instead of going forward down the road after the turn, it slips sideways down a grassy hill. When I say hill, it is more like a 10ft vertical drop. Did I also mention that we flipped over and the car landed on it's side.

So yeah, not just a little bump against a wall. You probably thought we were screaming or thinking that we were going to die, but it wasn't anything like that for any of us. It was more like, oh god how much trouble are we in? Because the accident was still on school grounds so I was more worried about the aftermath than dying. Also, in case you were wondering, I didn't notice any pain in my hand at this point. Once it was established that the three of us were fine, we all burst out laughing, not really understanding how the hell the accident happened. And to make things worse, Ben was more worried about going through the process of when you normally turn off you car and putting on the hand break. Yeah Ben, it is a little late for that. Meanwhile, our other friend Richard who was sat on the front passenger seat, in front of me, was acting like this was completely normal and that we were meant to be randomly sitting in a car that was on it's side.

Apparently a teacher saw the whole thing and she went to get help, because our friend Tash who was driving behind us when it happened, didn't bother to get help for us and went straight home, only to text hours later asking if we were okay. We couldn't move for a while cause if we attempted to get out, the car would roll over again. So we waiting for the school maintenance guys to hold up the car as the boys climbed out of the driver's window whilst I waited for them to open the boot, so I could climb out of it from the back seat. Then some lady who none of us recognised who worked for the school made us go into her car and drive us up to the main office to wait. We didn't really understand why. As far as I knew we were all fine. I just figured that the maintenance guys could help flip the car back over and that Ben could drive home (as he had a free period that afternoon) as Richard and I go to our economics lesson. But instead we get told by some person that the police, the fire brigade and the ambulance were on its way. And then it kind of hit me again. Oh god what what have we done? I was now also worried because even though we were allowed to leave school for lunch. we have to get permission from parents to get in someones car and to sign out. And none of us had done any of those things. It kind of shows how stupid the school can be if I was more worried about me getting into trouble than I was about myself after being in a pretty serious accident.

The police and the fireman arrive to look at the car and talk to Ben (and breathalise him even though he had been at school all day.) and all that stuff, and an officer took me and Richard into a room to question us about what happened. It is really bad that I was more worried about trying not to laugh than anything he was saying? He asked us if we needed to get checkout out by the ambulance but we said we were all fine.

Not much happened after that. All our friends, and basically the whole school, found out about what had happened and Ben had become some sort of legend for falling off "The Snake". I called my mum before the school did so she wouldn't freak out and we basically spent the afternoon hungry for missing lunch and telling everyone what happened. It wasn't until class when my teacher made me write loads that I realised how much pain my hand was in. So I went to the school nurse who basically ordered me to go to the hospital after school. Mum took me and it was pretty uneventful. As I said earlier it was just a sprained wrist and a possibly broken finger which is taped up right now. So a broken pinky being the only injure between the three of us was pretty lucky. It could have been a whole lot worse.

But what really got to me was what has happened in the last three days. Two typed os emails were sent out. One to the parents of every student, explaining what had happened, and another to every staff member apparently saying the same thing except it had our names in it. And a lot of staff members were more concerned about telling us off for not signing out than for our wellbeing. Then yesterday I hear that the operations manager tells off Ben and saying that there is nothing dangerous about the road and it is just his inexperience as a driver. Can I please mention that the snake is almost only used by students making them all 'inexperienced' at driving? So if that was the reason of the accident then surely they need to improve the safety of the road to stop this from happening again. Yes Ben is a new driver but so is the other 40 or so who drive up and down it at least twice a day in all weather conditions.

So now I am pretty mad. I want to stop this from happening again, because yeah we are all fine but we could have been seriously injured or killed. And someone else could have too. The school managed to keep the whole thing from getting out to the public and basically pretend that nothing happened except for when they want to yell at us for breaking a stupid rule that wouldn't have prevented anything from happening. We would have just got permission and signed out and gone out anyway. And we still would have got in that car accident. I am not saying the school is entirely to blame. But neither is Ben. So they are putting all the blame on him and keeping their hands clean and not doing anything.

Is this just my school? Do all schools care only about their reputations and not care about things like this that could potentially be dangerous for someone else? Despite the fact that many people have said it almost happened to them a few times. they won't do anything. Or maybe they can't be bothered. And even if they don't change anything, that is okay. But stop blaming the students for everything when it isn't entirely their fault.

This post is kind of long but at least I am making it up to you for the lack of posts recently. Please let me know what you think.

Back to School

Hey! Twice in one week, shocking I know. But I finally got my new laptop which makes it that more possible to post again. So as you can tell by the title the topic of today's post is the most popular of any teenager, school. Tomorrow school starts again. But this isn't any first day of school. No, it is my last ever first day of school! I hope. It was meant to be last year but I am determined to finish this year. Anyway, to mark the occasion I am making a list of my top five things I hate and love about school.

Things I love about school-

1) Everyone's favourite probably, is seeing your friends. Because when we are finished, when will we ever get the chance to see your friends five out of seven days a week ever again?

2) Getting out of the house. Because let's face it. If I didn't have school everyday I would probably spend my days glued to my laptop on my bed whilst watching TV. Oh wait I am doing that now! But not for long.

3) Learning. Sometimes learning can actually be fun and interesting. I mean sure there are things like maths which sucks (not that have maths lessons anymore) but there are interesting topics about history or geography. About things that are going on in the world. Or even finding out something basic that you never knew before.

4) The gym and pool. Our school has a new building which is actually pretty cool and the facilities are great. Plus you know, you get access for free!

5) Access to town. My school is like a three minute walk to the hughstreet which is highly convenient for well.. pretty much everything.


Things I hate about school-

1) Assembly and Chapel has to be the worst. Because why do I want to spend hours in my week sitting around listening (or pretending to) to teachers yapping on about a bunch of crap.

2) Homework. No need to explain that one.

3) Exams suck. I mean we spend about fourteen (well only eight for me) in school and it all comes down to a couple of exams which determines whether or not your life is going to rock or suck.

4) sitting in long classes when they are boring as hell.

5) One thing you can always count on is sucky food. I mean, really? Most the time I skip lunch anyway.


So there you have my lists of what we have to expect this school year. Good luck to all of you!

I am still alive!

Hey there guys! I am really sorry for neglecting my blog. I have had a lot of family drama and I have been moving around a lot. Also my laptop died on me which made my life harder. Good news though is that I just ordered a new laptop to arrive on Wednesday! Yay! I am so excited because it has taken me months to convince my dad to pay for half of it. Yeah now I am broke which means I have to go back to work :( and I really don't want to because since my surgery loads if knew people started working there and a lot of my friends left so I will be the awkward new person who isn't actually knew. That is if they even let me go back seeing as I haven't worked in over a year. Stupid leg. So no interesting drama has happened since like April which I have promised to tell you about one day and I will get there. My only real drama is stuff with my family which is kind of boring and then school drama. 

Speaking of which that is my other news. For anyone reading this who also read my early posts, you would know that last year I failed my exams. Well this year I passed them all! Yay! I officially have an A level in Geography and all I need is to finish Business which will be easy and then Economics which may just take a miracle. So that means I have a very light load of work this year and lots of free periods where I will hopefully be able to do some writing and blogging with my new laptop :) 

For all you UK readers, I hope your results went well! If for some reason they sucked and you want someone who doesn't actually know you but has been through the experience then feel free to comment or email me. (I think my email is around here somewhere.) 

Now I am off to go and get drunk with my best friends because I have had stressful day and I need to relax.

I am a Murderer! Sort of.

So today's post is quite short. So here it is,

I have been really busy lately and haven't had a chance to practice driving in a month. This is the longest I have gone without driving by the way. So last night I made a plan with my mum and my friend Elena who has passed her driving test, to go on a short drive with me.

Today I was driving around the village when these two birds decide to cross the narrow road, blocking it. So like any other person would do, I slow right down, giving them time to fly away. So I keep going slowly and the next thing I see through my mirror is bird feathers flying everywhere! I killed them! So at this point I am freaking out and crying as I drive. Not the best practice session I have had.

There you have it. My very short post on how I became a murderer. I feel awful about the whole thing and I hope they rest in peace.

Complaining About Life

Hey! So if anyone is still out there keeping an eye on my blog even though I have been the crappest blogger lately then I love you! And I am sorry. I have good news and bad news. The good- I am now home so I can finally post regularly for the first time in months. The bad- life is extremely boring right now so not much interesting gossip. That means my posts will probably be really random or about stuff that happened ages ago that I promised to tell you about but never got around to it.

So on to my actual post. If you have read my older posts then you would know that I whine and moan about my problems a lot. And for that I am sorry because that probably gets old very fast. Also it probably makes seem like I hate life when I really do love life. But today I have been questioning the difference between whining about little things and moaning about big important things and victimising yourself.

As everyone knows, I whine a lot. I am always complaining about how I am tired, hungry or in pain. Because usually that is how I feel. But everyone does it. Especially teenagers. I mean don't most teenagers who get a blog use it to whine about their lives? I know I do. But there are also people who go on and on about more important matters. Like their parents fighting or someone dying. They will use it as an excuse for everything. I mean sure it sucks. It is horrible. And if you confide with someone about it then they should listen and be understanding. But bringing it up every two seconds to make people feel sorry for you or to get attention is not the same thing. It is extremely annoying. Everyone has problems in their lives. Everyone. No one is perfect. So instead of trying to get attention for something serious that is going on is actually really horrible. As if the attention is more important than the problem itself.

For everyone out there with problems... you should talk to someone if you think it will make you feel better. But the person who is listening to you isn't there to give you attention. They are there because they love you and care about whatever it is that is affecting you. 

For example, I have had friends with issues that at first I really cared about. I was worried about my friend. But then they crave the attention and start to use it as an excuse telling you that your life is perfect because their life sucks. Or that there problems are more important than your own. Like I said before though, everyone has issues. And people don't really have the right to say their problems are worse than yours because they might not know what is going on with you.

So yes, I complain a lot. But when it comes to the important stuff... I don't tell people. Like ever. I find it awkward and difficult. Because what is the point in dumping all my problems on my friends when they have their own issues to work out. I know for a fact that there are things going on in my friends lives. So would telling them that both my grandmas are dying or that my parents argue all the time help anyone? Should I go around telling everyone that I have no freaking clue what I wanna do in life and have no passion for anything which makes me extremely scared, so that they would pay more attention to me? I think not. Maybe I complain about the little things because it is safer than the big things. I dunno. But I think it is more important to deal with the issue than to get attention for it.

Sorry if I rambled on too much. It is not exactly the most exciting post. I will try my best to fish interesting stories out of my currently very boring life for you guys. Also as a side note, I have been writing a lot on Wattpad recently and am already planning my fifth book after only writing for about a month or two. So if any of you are interested I will add the link to my google plus account. If it is not there when you read this then it is because I haven't added it yet.

Love you all so much! Good luck with your life problems!

I AM BACK BITCHES!

Hey!!!!!! So just in case you haven't read any of my latest posts or you have been living under a rock, I have been going through the worst thing any teenager will ever go through. Exams. Yes the E word. But in case you didn't guess I FINALLY finished them. Three hours ago actually. This is not only good for me but for you guys too because now I can post more often!

So today's exam was eventful. I had my G4 Geography exam this afternoon. I spent all morning with my classmates revising and chatting, lunch with my friends and then we all headed to the exam hall. A normal exam day. Then this guy is carrying a water bottle and I hear people laughing. Turn out it isn't water but vodka! and he downed half of it before the exam. Who goes into there last A2 Exam drunk? On what planet is that a good idea? I mean his friends just got expelled. Did he want to too? We only have 2 weeks left and then we all split up forever. At this rate he will be gone long before that. So anyway, after that drama we go inside and start the exam and then twenty minutes in, the fire alarm goes off. Why the heck did it have to go off right in the middle of the last exam? Couldn't it wait a few hours? Apparently it was because someone burnt some toast.TOAST. That is what almost ruined my life. Okay not my life but my exam. I mean it is important. Other than that it was pretty uneventful.

Afterwards I was meant to go out with the geography people but I said goodbye to some of my friends who are leaving and then came home instead. Sitting in my PJs in my comfy bed watching TV and writing verses going out with people I sort of know and get completely smashed? I vote home. Besides, I am going out next weekend and the weekend after and I can go whenever I want now that school is over.

So as a final note I would like to say.... SUMMER IS ALMOST HERE! More exciting posts are coming soon to a computer near you!

World Gone Mad

Hey guys! I am extremely bored lately. I have been hauled up in my room alone for weeks with no one to talk to. Even my own mother left me alone to go to Colombia to see her mum. Meanwhile everyone else has gone crazy. Exams can do that to a person. Everyone gets so wrapped up in them that then become needy, selfish and even mean. Everyone gets distracted by exams and forgets that you are going through the same thing to. Instead of working together and helping each other through it, they yell and complain about all their problems, not bothering to ask you about your problems. For example a lot of people keep telling me that they have a lot more going on than me and that their exams are more important than mine. That, I have to disagree with. Don't get me wrong, I don't think my problems are worse or more important than theirs. They are the same to me, as their problems are to them. At least they get to finish school after this. They get to leave which was something I have been trying to do since I got here. Something they like to remind me daily. Which just about kills me. I hate it so much that it has nearly caused me to cry a few times. Not that they noticed. I would go and ignore them for days, distracting myself and pretend that I am not miserable. They are probably relieved that I am not talking all the time and irritating them instead of wondering if something is wrong.

Everyone I know has a purpose. An aim, an objective or some sort of goal. I don't even know where I am going to be next year. I could still be at school, which is what most people expect. I could be doing some sort of course somewhere else. I could be backpacking across America for all I know. Not that I think mum would let me. The point is that I am not jealous over the fact that they are all leaving me behind and will probably forget about me, leaving me completely and utterly alone. It is that they get to start their lives. They get to move on and actually do something meaningful. They may not all know exactly what they want to do. But at least they know for the near future. More than than I have. I don't even know what I am doing tomorrow, let alone next year. And I would give anything to know. Because not knowing is killing me inside. To the point where I have cried myself to sleep at night. Not that anyone cares. I am not their problem because they get to leave. I am just that friend they hung out with at school.

So whilst the world may not be going mad, just moving on, I am stuck. Unable to move on. You may think I am being over dramatic. I mean it is only one year. But it's not. Because what I do next year could define my life. I could be a school drop out with barely any qualifications and never get a job and fail at life. I could continue school and have an amazing year, or a miserable year all alone. No one knows. But I sure wish I did. Or at least had someone to help me figure it out.

For any of you who are also stuck in life, unable to decide what to move on to next, I hope you figure it out. Good luck to you.

10 tips for entertaining yourself whilst sunbathing!

Hey guys! So the weather has finally improved and I can sunbathe! Yay! Here is a list of things you can do to entertain yourself when lying out in the sun.

1. Listen to music- the most common choice. Shut your eyes and enjoy some tunes.. Even sing along! 

2. Talk to people- another common choice. Talk to your family or bring some friends and gossip.

3. Dress your bro up as a girl- a weird choice but an entertaining one!

4. Plan a book- as some of you may know I have been writing a lot lately. So I have been planning my next book

5. Eat- food + sun = :)

6. Point out shapes in the clouds- look for the rabbit cloud in the sky. Just remember to where sunglasses or you will burn your eyes.

7. Plan a holiday- where are you going? What are you doing? Who are you bringing?

8. Dance- when you need to move around a bit after lying still, dance. Be as stupid looking as you want.

9. Snapchat- make all your friends jealous about the fact that wherever you are, you are in the sun and getting tanned.

10. Sleep- be careful though. You don't want to spend hours outside and turn into a red lobster!

Here are my ten weird tips for entertaining yourself whilst tanning!

I hope that wherever you are, you enjoy the sun!

Exams vs Writing

Hey guys! Oh my god it has been so long since I have posted anything. I missed my blog. For those of you who have still been reading thanks. I promised myself that I wouldn't post again until after exams are over. Unfortunately my last exam is one of the last in the country and I don't finish until the 19th June. But it was too long to be away and I was getting withdrawal symptoms. So here is a short post for now. I will make it up to you with more frequent posts than my weekly posts when exams are over.

Here is a little bit about what has been going on. Okay, I can't remember what I last told you but I think my last post was after Easter so I probably mentioned briefly my friends party and how I had boy drama. That is pretty much over. I will tell you the whole story soon. Other than that I have unfortunately spent most of my time revising. Exams Suck. I hate them and I hate revision. I am so bad at both. If I fail again I don't know what I am going to do. I can't wait until they are over. But once they are I will be saying goodbye to my friends who are leaving for uni and travelling. I don't know where I will be yet. I will let you guys know when I know.

The last thing I should probably mention is that I have been writing a teen fiction series and I am now on Wattpad. I know, I know. Bad timing with exams and all. I was going to wait but I was to impatient and you could probably tell. So I am @RandomGirl1302 on Wattpad so please check it out! I will put a link below with my first book. I have just finished the second one a few minutes ago and I will get to the last book in the Trilogy after exams. If I am patient enough to wait that is. Which I am probably not. Not going to lie.

Here is a description on what the first book is about,

Hope (The Gracewood Series) Book 1-

Amelia Hope James (or just Hope which she prefers) has always been in the limelight thanks to her movie star mother and her father the famous director, much to her dismay. Hope has lived her whole life under the shadow of her parents fame and knows just how fake the life of a celebrity can be. So when Hope gets sent to Gracewood Academy, one of the top boarding schools in the country, she finally has the chance to make a name for her self and see what life is like without having to deal the pressures of fame. 

However boarding school isn't exactly a walk in the park with the endless boy drama, a bitchy roommate, detentions, parties, a secret blogger who some how knows everything that goes on in Gracewood, and having to deal with the biggest issue of all. Keeping her identity a secret.

Here is the link-

http://www.wattpad.com/story/40077615-hope-the-gracewood-series

Please Check it out and give me some feedback.

Anyway that's from me for now. I have to go and revise business studies :( exam is on Thursday. I will post to you guys about actual stories on what has been going on like boy drama, friend drama school drama and god knows what else soon, Not just these crappy updates I have been giving you guys lately. And remember summer is soon. And that means a lot more free time and interesting things to write about! Good luck for those of you who have exams!

Exam time

Hey guys. So i haven't been on here in a while and i am sorry. A lot has been going on in life lately. So here is some of what has been going on. Towards the end of the Easter holidays I went to a friend's party. I wont tell you right now what happened but let's just say it was very eventful ;) and then I had to deal with the aftermath drama which is now finally over! Yay! Since then I also decided to write a book. We will see how that goes. My first exams start in a few weeks so I will be kind of busy for awhile :( so there won't be any posts for another couple of weeks.

 Wish me Luck! I am gonna need it. Good luck to everyone else who has exams!

Midnight visit to the Doctor

Hey guys! So I am having an interesting night. I was at home, enjoying my dinner that my mum made, which was a nice change cause I've been having really bad headaches lately. So it's safe to say that I have been spending most of my time sleeping instead of revising.. Anyway, at dinner I was complaining about my ear which was annoying me cause it has been painful and itchy for weeks. Mum decided to have a look at my ear. Then she recoils in shock, as she apparently sees gross white stuff in my ear or something. Lovely..

So she rings 111 (for those non-British readers out there, it is like the emergancy number but not as extreme), and talks to some person for ages. Next thing I know I am being called into hospital immediately, even though it's almost midnight. I mean, I was about to go to bed and was already in my pjs. So then I got kind of freaked out cause they wanted to see me now instead of in the morning,even though the hospital is apparently at capacity, they said they were going to make room for me. So it was safe to say the I was really freaking out by then. 

I am then nervously sitting in the waiting room, which has an intense atmosphere, and people glaring at me. The bright fluorescent lighting which isn't helping the headache. It's then, that I notice the random hip hop music playing in the background. Not the kind of music I expected a 40-something year old receptionist to be listening to. The music hasn't helped either....I mean, where does she think she is? A Nightclub?

So now I am at home with ear drops in my ear. Turned out it was some wierd type of ear infection. Nothing to major. 

So that was my exciting night! Next time you go to doctor, make sure you don't mix it up with the nightclub! It will be the building with the really bright lights!

Feeling left out

Hey guys! So I am going to talk about the most amazing person I have ever known, my mum. Tonight she got upset, as she felt left out in a conversation or something that she was having with my dad and brother. I guess being a Colombian women, living in the English countryside, far away from her friends and family would make someone feel left out. Or in her words, an "alien". I then went outside when I found out she was upset. You see, I understand how she feels. It's actually one if the main reasons for this blog. I have always felt left out in life. When we travelled, I had no permanent friends. When I got sick, I couldn't play with the ones I did have. When I was at my old school, everyone were a lot more "grown up" than me. Well as grown up as a thirteen year old can get. And here, I almost feel more grown up than them half the time.

Yet, no matter how left out I have felt in my life, my mum is the one person who always made me feel like I belonged. She was my bestfriend when I had no one else. She cared for me when I was sick, leaving little time for herself. She taught me to be myself, even when everyone wanted me to blend in and be like them. No matter what she is and will always be there for me. If she is an alien, then I am her baby alien. And I hope she knows that I will be there for her too. She gives me the hope that one day, someday, I will find a place, or a group of people, or even a person that I fully belong with. She is my inspiration, and I love her with all my heart. 

At times in life, everyone will feel left out. But remember there is probably an alien around who feels the same way. Just have hope.

Family Favouritism

I freaking hate it here. Being at my grandmas sucks! And the only thing worse is that my cousin is here too. Frances and I have been competing for my grandmas attention our entire lives before we even knew it. It's not us that are actually competing. It's my grandmas favourtism that causes all the problems. It all began because the two of us are 5 days apart. And even as babies, my grandma had a favourite. And in case you hadn't noticed it's not me.

I heard a story that once my grandma and my mum went shopping. We had just arrived from Sailing in the Carribbean and I had no coats or jackets to keep me warm for the chilly British weather. By the way this was when I was about 2 years old. And every nice thing my mum found, my grandma took off her and said she was giving it to Frances. Who didn't need it by the way. Another time my grandma bought Frances a cute little onesie when we were babies and you know what I got? A devil costume. Literally. 

Ever since, without trying we have been I a competition for who has the best life. All I have heard for years from my grandma is-

"Frances is soo talented"

"Have you heard that Frances got excellent Grades"

"Frances did this amazing thing that one time" 

And blah blah blah.....

She constantly compared the two of us. And she never, ever talks about any of my accomplishments. Ever! Any time I try to tell her she just starts talking about Frances. It's horrible because I know I should be nice about my grandma as she is very old (97) and won't live much longer. But I'm just soo miserable here and it's only been an hour. I already feel like I wanna cry, and all I want to do is go home. I have no one to talk about this with either. 

My grandma also hasn't given me anything at all in 5 years. Do you know what she has given Frances in the last few weeks? A plane ticket, train tickets, paying her to visit, her university fees and a couple thousand pound piano!! I mean it's not about the money. It would just be nice to know that my grandma cared at all.. I mean even a card would have been nice! 

So let's hope I survive this stupid visit and hope that my grandma doesn't make too many comparisons between our lives. wish me luck! Can't wait for it to be over!

Easter Travels

Hey Guys! So sorry I haven't posted anything in ages! School was hectic and then I've been travelling around the country a bit. I mean, I have packed and unpacked 6 times in just as many days! Where am I going? Well nowhere interesting really. Everyone is in nice exotic places and I'm stuck in windy, rainy England. Don't get me wrong. I love England but the weather is really a downer.

So I went to Exeter to visit my friend Kat, and then home. Train back awful. Bunch of little kids screaming at eachother and running up and down the aisle. I also had to sit next to a grumpy old man who kept elbowing me, which led to me being squished against the aisle of screaming kids and being hit my peoples suitcases. And then to top it off? When I finally got to the station, no one came to pick me up so I had to walk through town to find my mum.. And I have never walked from the station to town before so that was an interesting experience.

I then had a hectic day of driving lessons, physio and hairdressing appointments, followed by packing.. Again! I am currenty in the car for a 8 hour journey across the country with my family, casually listening to Backstreet Boys! For those of you who don't know who get are, you are missing out! I was obsessed with them when I was 3, so in 2000. Wow that was 15 years ago. That makes me feel old. The reason for this trip is to visit my grandma, who honestly none of us really want to go and see but all know it could be the last time. No one has out right said it but it's what we are all thinking. That's the only reason why I have let my family drag me on this trip. So now I'm going to have to go and deal with mice, and evil twin cousin (will explain later) and an old house that I am severely allergic to. 

Wish me luck! Hope you guys all have a better Easter weekend than me!

Are all Teachers Hypocrites?

Hey Guys! So I’m wondering. What it going on with teachers? When I was younger my teachers were okay. But now they are all just huge hypocrites or to be honest just a bully. Form teachers are the worst though. 

So my first one at this school was Mrs Lugg. I was about 13 which is an awkward stage for any girl especially when you have just moved across the country and are going to school with boys for the first time. So this teacher didn’t help as she spent the majority her time yelling at us in front of the boys about shorts skirts and wearing makeup. To be fair we were like the rebellious class so she had a lot to deal with, but still! We stressed her out so much that she ended up having a heart attack and got sent away in an ambulance. And she never had a form again.

Then there was Mrs Jupp. She was the biggest bitch of them all. She was also my Spanish teacher at the time, even though she is English. And her Spanish was crap.. I mean I would know, seeing as I am half Colombian and all.. I would have got 100% I’m my Spanish speaking exam if she hadn’t taken marks away for hesitation. HESITATION!! Really!!?!? Who does that?? I thought teachers wanted us to succeed?  And then I had my ski accident that year which led to me missing loads if school. So instead of trying to help me catch up when I was on crutches, she told me that I wasn’t good enough to be at the school, or to repeat the year. May I just add that this was on my birthday! I mean that’s just cruel. Who yells at a 16 year old, crippled girl on her birthday in front of everyone! 

So last year I had this teacher called Dr Crees. But he don’t really give a damn what we did. He swore more than we did and encouraged us to skip assemblys. He also didn’t notice I left his form when I moved to the year below until last week. You wanna know when I moved. 10 freaking months ago!!! 10! Really!?!??

My current form teacher is a nightmare. Her name is Madame Rosier and she is a bit of a psycho. She has yelled at this guy called Max cause he is late a lot (because if the train by the way. Not his fault) and keeps threatening to call his parents. Who don’t even give a damn. She keeps telling us to pull out skirts (which aren’t short) down and tries to interfere in every little decision we make. She also never turns up on time, if at all.

So that’s my history with form tutors. What about yours?

My Dramatic first night out!

Hey Guys! I'm really sorry I abandoned my blog for a bit. Been super busy with school ect.. Anyway as you can see by the title I am gonna tell you guys about what happened when I went out for the first time ever on Saturday.

So there is this guy from school whose birthday is the week after mine and EVERYONE in sixth form (last two years of school) were going out to celebrate it. No one cares about my birthday that much :( Anyway so me and my friend Ally got ready at mine and planned on getting a lift with my neighbor Willem and his mum as they were also going out that night. Now in case you didn't read one of my earliest posts (which is understandable as I don't really expect anyone to read EVERY post) you would know that Willem is an annoying neighbor who is my age and goes to my school. He also told everyone that my parents were drug dealers. He also randomly turned up at my house on Christmas cause he got bored at his, and his mum has for some reason hated mine ever since. Don't ask me why cause I honesty have no idea why. And just to make this car journey even more awkward not that long ago Ally and Willem decided to make out and have sort of hated each other since. I don't get that either. Who would want to make out with him???? This is also the first time I have ever seen him drive and lets just say it was a miracle that he managed to get us there alive,

So then me and Ally go to Tesco to buy more alcohol (btw we had been drinking since 5pm, so about 3 hours before). As we were going to pay we also bumped into the school Rev whilst we were holding a bottle of vodka. That was even more awkward than the car journey. Especially as he chose this moment to start talking to us.

We then left to go and meet up with a friend and continue drinking. Now I must admit I don't remember much of this part of the night but I remember calling another friend to come and meet us, going to Subway and meeting these random two guys (one of which was having girlfriend problems). We then finally went inside to a bar, where me and Ally managed to sneak our under age friends into, and met up with some of the guys including the birthday boy. We then leave to go to a club when we see one of they guys' friend who is very drunk outside throwing up everywhere. There is this really hot random guy there who was making sure he was okay. Now I was still pretty drunk when this part happened but I just remember talking to this guy for a while outside and then realise that my friend has disappeared. When I eventually find her, all the others are gone, He is with the drunk guy and is calling an ambulance cause he got ditched and is passed out. Told you it was a dramatic night! So a while after that is kind of boring but he basically gets taken away to the boarding house where he lives and me and Ally go to the next club. Cause at the end of the day he is not our friend and there was nothing more we could do.

To continue, I moved on to the next club with a very annoyed Ally as her sort of boyfriend is friends with the drunk guy and ditched him. So I then announce that we need more shots (bad idea). At the last club, everyone from school is there and we are all having a great time!

At home everything took a turn for the worse and me and Ally ended up throwing up and feeling like S**t the next day. Turns out I was ill anyway which is why I am now at home, missing school and blogging instead!

So I am going to go and watch some movies now and play The Sims 4! If any of you have any interesting stories about your nights out let me know! would love to hear them! Also one piece of advice, don't have a shot everytime you feel awkward or bored. They are gonna add up eventually and it will sooooo not be worth it!

Mock Week is Over! 10 tips for revising!

Hey Guys! So mock week if finally over...for me anyway. Some unlucky people still have another two weeks of exams even though the official exam week is over! So today I am going to give you some of my tips for exams. Yes I know that sounds boring and if you have read some of my previous blog posts you will know that I suck at exams, but these tips are not your usual ones. These are all things that I have learnt this week

1. Do not get drunk in mock week unless you have either no exams the next day or you have already done a lot of revision. As you probably know I had my 18th Birthday in the middle of the week, and here in the UK I can now legally buy alcohol. This led to me being hungover the next day and probably not doing as well as I should have.

2. Ask for more paper before you run out of time. I only had a few minutes before the end and still had a lot to put down but ran out of paper. The exam invigilators (btw not sure if that is the right word) ended up taking 3 minutes which may not seem like much but is precious time that you will probably really have needed.

3.. Eat before the exam. I skipped breakfast one day and my stomach decided to remind me and everyone else throughout the exam how hungry I was. This is extremely awkward when it is very quiet.

4.  Do not Skype your friends. It wont just be a quick chat and you will most likely spend hours talking when you could be revising.

5. Organise your revision stuff BEFORE mock week. People always forget to tell me that. So always waste the first day tidying and reorganizing because of course your notes are going to be all over the place or your are going to be missing that really important textbook etc.

6. If you finish early, it is not the time to pick up your old art hobby by drawing on your exam paper. Your teacher will probably get more annoyed at you if you got things wrong when you had time to draw something.

7. Do not cram right before your exam. Before one of my exams most of my friends began stressing and freaking out. One got so worked up that she had to leave early and ended up failing. If you don't know it by then then you are too late. You will remember more of what you have revised it you stay calm or even distract yourself with something else, like the latest gossip before you enter the exam hall.

8. If you end up having one of your best friends sitting next to you, do not try to communicate with them, You are better off pretending they don't exist. Me and my friend had been practicing communicating to each other in exams since they weren't that important so luckily we didn't get caught. But if we had the consequences would have been severe and not worth it. Just resist talking to them until later.

9. For your revision, try looking up apps for your subjects. These can be very useful and allows you to revise whilst in the car, or in the lunch que, even the bath! Some are more suited for your exam subjects than others, so make sure you test them and see if they match your syllabus before you use them otherwise you may end up learning some extra information that you didn't need to know.

10. Make sure you look after yourself and don't get too carried away with revising. Once I lived off junk food and barely slept, revising till late hours and first thing in the morning. This led to me falling asleep and failing one of my actual exams last year! Eat healthy food, and get a goods night sleep. Without these you are more likely to do badly than benefit from the extra hours of work. Also remember to take breaks. Just not too many!

So those are my some of my tips for revising! Hope they were helpful. Please let me know if anything interesting or funny happened to you in your exams that you have learnt from!

Rumours, Exams and Birthday Surprises!

Hey everyone!!!! Sorry really excited as it is my 18th BIRTHDAY TODAY! So this is what has been going on in my life lately.

First off, Rumours. Now since the incident at the end of the Disneyland Trip (read part 2 if you haven't already otherwise this may not make sense!) there have been many rumours about me circulating around school. Now before I tell you what they are trust me when I say that none of them are true. I only tell you guys the truth, otherwise what would be the point in blogging if you are not completely honest. Especially as none of you know who I really am. Okay, so some people say that I was in a foursome, some say I had sex with a guy, others say things you guys don't even want to hear, and someone has even gone around saying I had sex in the Sports Hall!! Ewww. Now I have never done anything of these things. So I spent the first part of my birthday listening to people go on about the rumours ect. It wasn't that bad but was irritating as I was trying to revise which brings me to my next point, exams.

So exams suck. Today I had business studies which I finished an hour before the end. So I drew a tree instead. But it's okay cause I later found out that everyone finished early.

So I am then sitting in the car on the way home when we pull up at my house and sitting in my drive is the most gorgeous green car I have ever seen! I mean it's AMAZING and I instantly fell in love! So then I get changed and fix my makeup, whilst mum is making a fuss about how nice I need to look. We then head to the pub (like  2 second walk away where I work) to buy my first drink. Then when I walk through the door....... ALMOST EVERYONE I KNOW IS THERE!! even now hours later I am still in shock. All my neighbours, one of my closest friend out of school, my closest friend in school and my oldest friend who I have known forever are all there! along with the latinas and the kids I use to babysit. Literally EVERYONE!. Could not have been a more perfect surprise!! So we ate, and talked and drank..... a lot! To the point where I am finishing off this post slightly drunk... oh well..

So I have had the most amazing birthday ever!!! Will leave you guys be for now. Will post again soon... Night!x

Will have my new post about mocks, rumours and my birthday soon! Bye!

Disneyland Paris: Part 2

Day 1: Sunday

So the trip started at midnight, where all 16 of us got on the coach. 6 of which arrived very drunk and possibly high! The next few hours was spent making comparisons between a guy on the coach and a monkey. Btw they have a lot of similarities. So then at about 3am we all went to MacDonalds. Then off we went to Britstol where we were picking up another school who we have never met at all. Whose brilliant idea was it to put a bunch of strangers on the coach?? At 4am may I add! So whilst waiting forever for these people to arrive we saw some people walking their dog. AT 4AM!!!  Who the hell walks thier dog at 4 o clock in the morning!!!! So after a huge stare off between schools, and we were forced to squish together more we left to go to Dover! 

After our ferry trip we finally arrived in France! Where me, Anna and a guy called Ben played Uno for hours. It wasn't until a few hours later that I realised that they were cheating the whole time! Once I took charge of shuffling I finally won! So then we get to the hotel which is Western Themed. 

We later watched high school musical and fell alseep really early. I mean, I hadn't slept in 40 hours!

Day 2: Monday

So the next morning I wake up to find that I have several missed calls and texts from my teacher. So I tell this to Anna who then reveals that Miss came in the night before and we had a conversation with her. Apparently she was meant to check on us at 10pm and we fell asleep before that so she spent hours looking for us. In order to do this she went into EVERY SINGLE ROOM, to ask if they new where we were. So naturally when we go downstairs everybody keeps asking us where we were. Even now, days later I still have to recollection of any of this ever happening! 

So we went to Disneyland Park where we  went on lots of rides, including one that we had no idea what it was when we were queing for it, a haunted house which I had believed to be freaking horrifying from 10 years ago and ended up being very underwhelming, and a really fun finding nemo ride which had a game you could play during the que, where you are Crush from Finding Nemo and you have to avoid things! 

We then went to the firework show which was AMAZING! So much better than expected! 

Day 3: Tuesday

Tuesday was our first lecture in the morning which was followed by an 8 hour break before a workshop that afternoon. So my friend Hannah and Anna wanted to see the princesses and so me and another friend left them for a few hours. As they qued to see characters we kept accidently bumping into them without any ques! 

We also went to "it's a small world" 

I later on dragged my friends and my economics teacher onto a rollercoaster which scared the hell out of them before we got on when we heard the screams or terror coming from the people already on. 

Later that night after my teacher checked on us, me and Anna were packing when I get a knock on my door from one of the guys asking to come over for drinks in there room. So that's how me and Anna ended up hanging with 4 guys and sneaking out to a bar in Disney village in the middle of the night. This then lead to a conversation about how me and Anna were gonna watch the Lion King and how she hasn't seen it but we weren't able to because my iPad wouldn't work. So two of the guys invited us back to their room to watch it. By now I was fairly tipsy and Anna was fairly drunk. So we ended up with the four of us squished in bed together. Then when I look over I see Anna making out with one of the guys. When me and the other guy notice this we then move away from them cause, eew gross! Don't need to be that close to them when they are doing god knows what. Eventually the other guy passed out and then I notice that the other two have..... Progressed? So I end up running off and call a friend freaking out about how I left Anna behind. When I hang up, Anna walks in carrying a bra with disheveled hair and a wierd look on her face. She then proceeds to tell me how far they got (nearly all the way), and started to freak out about people finding out.

Day 4: Wednesday

We had the most awkward breakfast in history with Anna and the guy awkwardly ignoring each other. This was followed by a lecture which I fell asleep during and was woken up to my friend and a guy staring at me. This leads to everyone asking me what happened last night. And I was like- what do you mean? I then find out that everyone was in another room talking about us the whole time! Everyone thinks I was up to "things" but of course I can't say anything because I have to keep Anna's secret. And that was how he foursome rumour was born! 

The rest of the trip is uneventful as I slept almost the whole way back home. I finally got home at around 3am and went to bed.

And that was my trip! Let me know if any I you have had any interesting trips or your experiences with Disneyland Paris!

Disneyland Paris Trip! :Part 1

Hey Guys! So tonight I am leaving to go to one of the most amazing places in the World... Disneyland! Why you ask? Because of a business conference thing. That sucks the fun out of it. Oh well. Still amazing to go though! So the only problem is that time is going soooooo slowly... Like unbelievably slow.. Me and my friend Anna leave at midnight to get in a coach for 17 hours! But I've been packed and ready to go since 9am!! I guess I was excited.. By the way I'm not usually out of bed until about 1pm. So I still have like 7 hours until we have to go and I have nothing to do to pass the time. I am currently watching a film in Italian with no subtitles which is very confusing.. So for the next post will keep you guys updated on what has been happening! If anyone has any ideas as to what I can do to pass the time, let me know!

TOP 5 SONGS!

Hey everyone! So today I am going to tell you about my Top 5 Favorite Songs.

5. Let it Go by Idina Menzel- By now everyone on the planet knows this song off by heart (no thanks to the hundreds of Christmas adverts that featured this song). I mean who doesn't love Frozen?

4. I'm Yours by Jason Mraz- I didn't actually know this song until a while after it came out but once I did hear it me and a friend became obsessed. Like reeeeeeeaaallly obsessed. We sang it everytime we were at a Party, in ANY moving vehicle, in my room, whenever we heard it play anywhere really. I mean I am pretty sure the driver who drove us everywhere when we went to Colombia a few years ago wanted to kill himself (or Jason) by the time we left.

3. Feel the Love by Rudimental (featuring John Newman)- I am sooooo excited cause I will actually get to see Rudimental live this summer at Boardmasters!!!!!!!! By the way Boardmasters is a Music Festival in the UK which also has lots of surfing events. Was really fun. Go on the following link if you would like any further info. Would definitely recommend going. http://www.boardmasters.co.uk/

2. Danza Kururo by Lucenzo and Don Omar- I originally heard it in Fast Five and fell in love with this song. It is part Spanish, part Portuguese and made Top 5 in many countries in Latin America including Colombia (where I am half from by the way).

1. Radioactive by Imagine Dragons- I love this song! I love the instruments and the lyrics and... well just about everything. It wasn't my favorite song until I heard it again in The 100, which is when I paid more attention to it and fell in love. Would love to see Imagine Dragons one day!

So those were my top 5 songs. For anyone who is reading this feel free to comment below about which are your favorite.

Confessions of a teenage alcoholic

Hey Guys! So today's post may not be great. And I am sorry about that, but I am still a little bit hungover from last nigh. Which brings me to today's topic. Alcohol. Every time I drink, something bad tends to happen. I either get a little too "friendly" or I end up blurting out secrets which cause people to hate me. I will give you guys a few examples.

So yesterday I found out that this guy likes my friend Sophie. And my friend Andrew who use to like Sophie is really good friends with this guy. Anyway, we were all at this party/social gathering, except for Sophie who wasn't allowed to go (poor Sophie). So I end up drinking a few too many shots with a group of guys including Andrew and the other guy and end up telling the whole group that this guy likes Sophie and basically that she didn't like him back. I also may have mentioned the fact that Andrew liked someone but that I didn't know who. So Sophie does not actually know any of this yet and she may just about kill me. Oh well.

Another time was a few months after this guy called Harry (who I will tell you guys more about another day...long story) who was my best friend had told me he liked me more than a friend. I kind of freaked out after that. (Pretty sure I am scarred for life and am now terrified of having male friends). Back to the point. So Basically he told me not to tell anyone cause we were in the same friendship group and he didn't want anything to get weird. Especially as one of my friends had a crush on him around the time. So I promised I wouldn't and had to act like everything was completely normal without telling anyone. You know how hard that is? I have the biggest mouth ever! I'm pretty sure that's part of the reason I failed my exams. I mean this was a guy who I told everything to. EVERYTHING! Including periods and guys. Yes that is a weird friendship. He use to freak out but he got use to it after hanging around girls long enough. Anyway, one night I had the group over at my house except for Harry who was away, and ended up telling EVERYONE that he liked me. Lets just say it got really awkward after that and I was very grateful that we had the summer to be apart. So that happened.

A couple weeks ago I was tutoring my bestfriend's brother in Spanish and I may or may not have created a drinking game that ended up with both of us getting very drunk, and me having to lie to his mother to get him to stay the night cause I was convinced he would die if he cycled home. So I spent the night having to look after him. Most stressful night ever!

One last example is that I may have met a guy at a camping/field party and became a little bit too "friendly" that night in the woods. Just so you guys don't think to badly of me we didn't do much. I don't want you people thinking I am a slut or something.

So I think that's enough judging me and confessions for today. And next time someone wants to tell you a secret, make sure you trust yourself to keep it when your drunk before you hear it. Otherwise there may be some awkward consequences and you will end up having to apologise to your trusting friends a lot. So I am gonna go and tell Sophie what happened last night before someone else will.
