10 Things I Learnt in First Year

02:17


My first year of University was not as fabulous as what everybody bigs it up to be (in my opinion)
So here is what first year taught me, hopefully it will help some of you starting in September!


1. Your flat will be disgusting. Nobody cleans up after themselves and if like me you hate mess, you'll find yourself becoming a maid. DO NOT CLEAN OTHER PEOPLES STUFF, ever! Do it once, and you'll be stuck doing it the rest of the year. You might be lucky, but I lived with tramps. See photo below lol.

2. Your lecturers will either be absolutely amazing and will do anything to help you or...will say "ummm" 125 in an hour long lecture and you'll end up dying of boredom.
HE SAID UMMM 125 TIMES. Do you even have a qualification to teach???

3. You are basically paying £9,000 a year for some old dude to read a PowerPoint to you

4. The friends you make in freshers week won't be the ones you stick with. The friends I made I met about a month into uni and they're mint.The ones I made in freshers week were twats :)

5. About 70% of students get mummy and daddy to pay for everything whilst you're living on 19p noodles from Lidl. They're usually southern as well, own a horse and cry if Tesco has run out of Hommous. (This genuinely happened, I just walked away)

6. Not many people put effort into their work in first year. I didn't,but I wish I had done now. But everybody goes with the attitude "first year doesn't count". I felt like I had a devil and angel on each shoulder, listen to the angel pls. Don't leave your 2,000 document extract till 2am that morning :)

7. There is always that one bellend who says the Midlands doesn't exist. You are either South or North. I go to Nottingham Trent which is in the EAST MIDLANDS. You are in my town now which is the MIDLANDS, so please please fuck off 

8. You'll make a select group of friends on your course who help you through all the shitty work and you'll all end up teaching eachother. Because, as I said, your lecturer just reads the PowerPoint to you. So, thanks friends for being amazing!

9. If you want to live in nice halls, expect your student loan to JUST cover it. My halls were £130 per week, and left me with about £250 to last me the 4 months between student loans. 

10. I believe the people who enjoy uni the most are the ones who don't have much of a social life at home. At home I have an amazing circle of friends and an amazing boyfriend. I preferred coming home at the weekend to see them than getting drunk with a load of pums and stuck up twats. But, some people flourish at uni and make the friends they don't have at home. I did love my first year and made some amazing friends but, don't go into first year with these high expectations, prepare yourself!


Much love,

p.s, A can find you anywhere, even at University (PLL reference there lol)

Fashion New Wave - farfetch.com

The lovely people at www.farfetch.com sent me their latest infographic "Fashion New Wave" featuring ways to do style differently. They document emerging trends and styles that are developing in the luxury fashion world. Fashion New Wave finds the styles that aren't yet mainstream and bring them to you! 


I'm loving this look right now. A trouser suit is something that is so current right now, and I wish I could pull off! Cigarette pants with a crisp shirt is just my go to outfit at the moment, mixing the masculine with a feminine touch by adding the perfect pair of strappy heels.
Victoria Beckham is in no doubt the queen of this trend.

Now this just explains my style completely. I LOVE TRAINERS. I just think pairing them with a chic outfit adds touch a unique style to it! It's all we are seeing right now in Paris Street Style, the amount of women killing the Adidas Stan Smith's is insane, so stylish yet so simple!
White trainers will an all camel outfit, drooooooling.

Such a simple outfit trick that can instantly add a little something different to your look. As seen below being effortlessly pulled off by the gorgeous Alexa Chung. Its a perfect summer look.

After recently finally getting my hands on an Urban Decay Naked 3 palette, I can totally relate to this. Adding just a slight touch of colour or sparkle to your eyes just makes them pop. It's just enough to take you from day to night. I always use a little cream eyeshadow in the inner corner and blend into a more neutral brown tone for a simple everyday look.

Surfer babe waves have always been a hair envy of mine! Long gone are the days of sleek bobs!
This is something I'm really tempted to try with my hair!

10 whole outfit posts, wow..I really should do more ha ha. Just a really simple outfit today!
I've always thought Zara was an awesome shop but I'd never actually been in and had a good look around until this month. And lets just say, thank you student finance. I've bought so much from there recently, I JUST LOVE IT OKAY. I need these V neck shirts in every colour.
Also, I've been after either some Stan Smiths or Reebok Classics after drooling over them for ages. Damn you Paris street style. But, I picked up these Reebok classics in the Reebok store for £9! Yaaaaaaas. Happy feet. (They're a size too big but shhh)
