Where it all changed

A year ago today my life changed when I went to a Camp America London recruitment fair and I got placed at Camp Grove Point and now I'm preparing myself for my second summer. When I flew to America I had no idea what I was letting myself in for and never imagined how much it would change my life. The day I arrived it was windy and cold, it took us four hours to drive to camp, I barely ate, we pulled up to discover we were in tents and my oh my was it the coldest night sleep of my life. It was a hard night, I cried, I was cold and jet lagged and I didn't think I could do it and I was certain I wanted to go home, however I woke up the next day refreshed and knew I was going to love it! And it has truly changed my life, I made a family, I had the best summer of my life, I couldn't of asked for a better job and now I'm so excited and ready to be preparing myself for my second summer at my favourite place in the world. I left a big chunk of my heart at Camp and its forever changed my life.

Leicester for the weekend

Last weekend I headed down to Leicester to visit one of my best friends Amy at uni and we had such a fun weekend! When I got to Leicester Ames met me and then we went back to hers.For dinner we made our favourite, Chicken Fajitas with cheese and lettuce, courgette, onions and peppers, they were amazing! We then got ourselves all dressed up and went to her friends house for pre drinks, her friends are so much fun so it was a really good night! We were meant to go to an event at a club but a lot of things happened that meant we didnt end up going! We had a long lie in on saturday morning until 11am, for breakfast I had honey loops with grapes and a cup of tea. We had a pretty lazy day but did go on a walk. For lunch we made cheese and tomato toasties like the ones they do at Costa, so lush! We watched a lot of cupcake wars and dinner date. For dinner we made tomato, pepper chicken with rice and sweetcorn, it was sooooo good. We then spent the night at one of Amys friends house chatting, snacking on strawberries and sensations and it was a really good night! Sunday I had to head home and after the weekend I was exhausted someone I managed a 10mile run. I can't wait to go back and visit her again!

Back to uni I go..

This has been my first week back at uni since Christmas and its been the best, it started by being reunited with my flatmate and uni bestie Teagan. A month is way to long to be separated! We went to the pub with James, Dec, Harrison and Adam and then onto a bar called West Street Live and it was such a fun night. I was so happy and was beaming all night, it was so good to be back with my friends! It was then back to Lacrosse training and we are now training with the first team, which makes it harder and better!It rained like crazy so was freezing and we could only do an hour!  Obviously in-between this I had my first week back in lectures and seminars and thankfully they eased us in. Finally wednesday nights out are back and my oh my did we come back with a bang, the theme for this week was 'chav' and I think its the comfiest I've ever been. We went all out and I wore a large nike top as a dress, trainers, the biggest hoops you've seen, a high half up, half down ponytail and a bomber jacket, I also made sure to have a slag line and foundation lips! We started of at pre's at my friend Jess's house with the lax boys, we then went to players and Maida Vale and finishing up at the club Crystal. As per usual we all had an amazing night and danced our night away. What a way to start second semester!

Here we go again..

Another year, the same me. Its the new year so the time that usually everybody kick start something new, but not me, I plan to continue doing what i was doing last year but bigger and better. Every year I set myself goal of losing weight and it pushes me to the brink of unhappiness, so this year I've decided I just want to be happy and healthy with how I feel, I'm going to continue working out six days a week as I already do, eat healthy because I love how it makes me feel but also allow myself to have treats. I want to spend more time outside, I spent my whole summer last year outside and I loved it, I feel more myself when I'm outside, Ill be spending my second summer at Camp in America this year and I couldn't more excited for it! Last year I really got experimental with my hair and fashion and I want to do more of it this year, Im starting by semi-permanetley colouring my hair grey! I can become quite a recluse and say no to social events, but after not having a moment alone for three months last summer I've realised that as much as I love my own company I love being surrounded by people and be constantly on the go seeing people and having fun! So this year I want to spend more time with my family when I come home from Uni and say yes to everything. 2017 was the best year of my life and I want to make 2018 better, lets do this!
