10 things I've learnt in the last three months.

*waves*
Look, I still exist!
I'm not reviving this blog, but it's nice to post here occasionally! Just as an update. Plus, I handed in my last essay yesterday and I only have feedback tutorials next week, so it's pretty much the Christmas holidays and the official end of my first term at uni! Let's flashback to a quote from a few months ago:

"My life so far has been fab, but eighteen years doing the same thing in the same place has made me lazy and comfortable and I need to change it up and challenge myself! I don't doubt moving on to uni will be terrifying and there will be scary moments and awkward moments and moments where I want to jack it in and go home and snuggle up with my mom. But I cannot wait."

Well...it's safe to say that things have been changed up! Moving to uni was a terrifying prospect...there were scary moments, there were awkward moments, there were moments when I wanted to jack it in and snuggle up my mom: turns out I have freakishly accurate powers of prediction. It's been amazing though: meeting new people, learning nothing but English Lit, (bliss.) cooking for myself, ignoring my laundry pile build up, locking myself in my room to get an essay done in time to go out.

Anyway, here's a list of things I've learnt over the last term! 

1. The best essays are written slightly drunk. The worst essays are written incredibly hungover.
2. It's acceptable to use the same cutlery for two meals in a row without washing up.
3. Nerds. Are. Everywhere.
4. Ignore those letters from TV licensing. All 44 of them. Trust me, there is no investigation into your TV usage undergoing.
5. Who holds the Cheesy Puffs on the way back from the supermarket holds the power.
6. Time yourself so that you're taking home a suitcase of dirty clothes. Laundry is always easier when it's free.
7. Stock up on Ben and Jerry's when it's on special offer, in preparation for essay deadlines, mental breakdowns and bonding sessions.
8. Make friends with a music student and attend their concerts, so you'll have something cultured to tell your parents about on Skype.
9. Always have alcohol in case of casual drinks or unexpected nights out.
10. It doesn't matter how bloody terrible your essays are.
     i) Because first year doesn't count towards your degree
     ii) Because even when you do get a degree, it'll be in English Literature anyway, rendering you basically     unemployable.

Future home?

I have a sudden urge to blog again, so there may or may not be some posts in the future...until then, I have to tidy my room for when my sister visits :/

It's going to be a long day.

Auf wiedersehen, folks!

STILL ALIVE!

This is a hideous photo but look! I'm at uni! My room is a mess! I've spent the last five days in a drunken haze! I love it!

No really, there has been massive neglect for you guys on my part, for which I can only apologise profusely. Things will most definitely calm down soon, and then I'll be able to give you posts longer than a few sentences and with more content than just apologies.

Until then, I hope everyone's good  and I'll be back soon :)

I is for "I have another ten minutes and I PROMISED but it's half four"

Yo.

H is for...hideous hideous geese.

I'm at uni! It's exciting! I promised if I found ten minutes I'd update and...I just found ten minutes but I have to unpack. Huzzah! That's what H can stand for now.

G is for GOOD LORD I NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE.

The issue with daily blogging? Things don't change much on a daily basis.
All I can really tell you is that I have a massive, ridiculous case of cabin fever. I literally cannot WAIT to get out of this house (which I've barely left over the last couple of weeks due to people leaving for university and reading and packing and things)

See how free these birds are in the sky. I am not these birds. 

Anyway, today is G! Gold or silver?
Well...I sort of love both equally. I like gold and silver in general, because they're both a little bit more than just colours...they're the colours of precious metals. They're special. And they're both um...starry colours. I've always had a bit of a weird thing for celestial bodies so yeah, I like gold AND silver! Good colours!*

*Edit: I think I've just realised this question is talking about jewellry. Never mind. This has been an "Emma likes weird things weirdly" post.

F is for fuck the internet. Seriously, fuck it.

I have one word regarding today: wertrfcvghnmkl;AIOyQpHalkjdefgwaljbssdahegqwwa;osai!

Um...it hasn't actually been that bad, but my internet has been dead all day unless you refresh it 54,000 times. Which, when you're trying to apply to an internship where the deadlines are tomorrow. 

Dell, Dell, Dell. PLEASE MAKE A COMPUTER THAT WORKS. 

Luckily, thank goodness, I'm back online now. I've sent off my application (it's 15 hours a week, though...I'm a bit worried it'll be too much on top of university studies but fingers crossed!) and now I'm here, once again, to blog your brains out. 

Today is F! For which the inspiring title is "favourite colour."

Well...it's purple. So, because i'm really exciting and whatnot, I've made this whole post purple in purple's honour. Also remember when tumblr went purple? That was a really good, important, good day. I only reblogged purple things that day. It was like seeing through purple tinted spectacles.

SO YEAH PURPLE.

Also on a completely non-purple related note, I dyed my hair back to bright red today. It feels good.

Thanks everybody,

E is for EXCEEDINGLY good cakes and also for Emma.

Hello everybody! I left work today which means I'm officially a poor, unemployed student :( but they gave me chocolate so that's good! I have a few possible jobs in the pipeline at uni as well so fingers crossed!

Today is Day 5 of the ABCs of Me challenge, which means it's the letter E...

Essential start to your day. 


A lot of people probably say coffee here, don't they?

 OH GOD I HAVE FOUR MINUTES TO FINISH THIS POST AND NO IDEA WHAT TO WRITE.

To be quite honest with you, my essential start to the day involves having more than half an hour before I go anywhere...otherwise I'll still be asleep! Other than that I'm pretty low-maintenance.

Okay day 5 is boring, sorry everybody, but I open the question out to you: what's your essential start to the day?
