So I know that it is already almost a week into 2015 and that this post is a little later than I originally wanted it to be, but it is still here. I haven't quite fathomed that 2014 is over and that a new year has started. So before I got into 2015 related things I wanted to remember some of the good times that I have had in the crazy year that has just passed.

2014 was a crazy year for me. I finally pushed myself out of my comfort zone and did something I never thought I would have the courage to do. 

I moved states and went to University. Two ideas that would have seemed farfetched to me only a year earlier. I took a flying leap at change and came out the other side happy with my choices and with the grand decisions I had made.

I got to experience a ton of new things and create memories with new friends. I also met some amazing new people and had a blast getting to know them.

I also created new and amazing memories with old friends, joy filled moments in time, in which I was surrounded by people who I love. These small moments that I got to spend with them, made the moments I was at home, fun.

My sense of adventure got a huge kick and I allowed myself to see new things and explore new places. Finding new things in old places or just plane new things in new places. I took more chances to find and discover those things. 

So with 2014 having come to an end I can say that this year has been one of the best so far. I am so grateful for the new and old friends in my life, for the new and exciting adventures and for taking a huge, life changing, chance. 

I hope everyone had a good 2014, a good new year and that 2015 brings on bigger and better things for each and every one of you.

Happy New Year

Uni 2014 Rewind.

Hey guys,

So a few weeks ago I officially finished my first year of university and I had planned on writing this blog sooner, but I got lazy and busy. So I thought I would write it now.

Here is to the year that has passed. To the people I have met and become friends with. To the memories that I will hold close for the rest of my life.

I have met a bunch of amazing people that I will hopefully get to know better over the next few years. I have gained new friends and have found a bunch of people who I enjoy spending time with. These people have taught me so many new lessons and even some that I needed to be reminded of. I will cherish the small moments of joy that I have found.

This year and going to university was a grand adventure for me, and I am glad that I took this opportunity and ran with it, instead of backing down and giving up on something new and different. I have had so many great adventure, that I will keep in my mind forever.

This year has been great and interesting and at times crazy. I would never turn back and undo the decisions I have made.

The Study Life.

Hey guys,

So I have officially finished my first year of university, having just finished all of my assignments that were due. I am finally free for the next couple of months to have fun and do whatever I want really.

So since I have finished I thought I would do a couple of posts focusing on the past 9 months of my life. So I will be doing a few university related posts. 

Todays one will be about my previous crazy assignment week. 

Doing an arts course means that I don't have to do exams. I unfortunately have to do double the mount of assignments. Meaning that my last week of  uni work consisted of me working on back to back assignments, all due one after the other. 

Here are just a few photos I took during the week, mostly when I was bored or wanted to procrastinate, which was quite often.

I hope everyone is doing well. And those of you about to sit you end of year exams are doing okay.

September rewind 2014.

Hey guys,

It's hard to believe that September is nearly over. This year feels as if it's flown past, and I'm not quite ready for it to end yet. This ones going to be short today as I haven't much to talk about.

Not much happened in September, mainly because I have been super busy with uni work and assignments. But I have also been taking time to enjoy the little things and getting outside into the fresh air, especially since it is finally warming up in Melbourne.

I also have no photos to share as, once again, I haven't really done much outside of uni. And nothing super exciting has been going on.

Next week is my uni hell week as I have four assignments due next week, but then things will calm down and I can do more fun things.

September Update 2014.

Hey guys,

So September marks the last full month of my first year of university, which is super exciting. It also means that it is officially spring in Australia, although I think someone should tell Melbourne that because it's still super cold here somedays. And it also means that soon it will be summer, which I can't wait for. So I thought I would just do a few small updates on things.

1. Things will be getting busy for me over the next few months as I have 7 assignments left to finish off before I can truly be on holidays. Which is not something I will be looking forward to doing. I hate assignments.

2. With my soon to be found freedom in fourish weeks time I will be able to get out more and do some fun and adventurous things around Melbourne, which I haven't been able to do yet. Which I plan to post about when I can.

3. I plan on introducing a few new blog series on here. Which will hopefully start in October and will include things like my monthly favourites and maybe a monthly book club or something, in which I share my favourite things and books or whatever. I will also be continuing the 50 faces project when I get home to Sydney in November.

4. More free time means more adventures and blog posts, so once all my work is finished for the year I should hopefully be blogging a bit more.

5. Summers coming up so I hope to have some fun adventures plan to share with you guys. I just need to figure out what they will be.

6. October will also be a month of relaxation for me as once my assignments are finished I will need a little bit of down time to relax and chill out a bit so that should be fun.

I hope you are all having a wonderful day,

May Rewind 2014.

Hey guys,

So I thought I would do one of these monthly rewind things where I put a bunch of photos in about the highlights of the month past. So here are my May standout moments.

Side note: now that I am on holidays and have finished all my assignments for the semester I will be able to blog more. Things got crazy at the end of may as I had a huge pile of things to do for uni, but now I have a break for 5 weeks so I can concentrate on other things for a while.

Tell them that it's my birthday.

Hey guys,

So yes this is a day late, and yesterday didn't have a post, but there are two coming today.

Yesterday, as you might be able to tell from the title was my birthday. So I wanted to have a relaxing, lazy(no uni woohoo) and slightly 'boring' day. So I didn't get around to posting, but it is here today.

I finally turned the big 21, which isn't a gigantic deal here in Australia, but it is still highly celebrated. I didn't have a big party on the day or anything, not that I minded, when I was home for the holidays I had something, so the actually day was to be a relaxed one.

I was lucky enough to have a BBQ, in Sydney with my friends from home.

I was also lucky enough to spend the actual day with my lovely roommates, who managed to cheer me up and celebrated with me. My absence from my family at home made me feel sad, but these guys managed to cheer me up.

As well as getting flowers and chocolates from my lovely mother back home.

I will admit that if anyone asks me if I feel any older, the answer will be no.

May Madness.

Hey guys,

So May is here and I am ready for things to go crazy.

By which I mean May Madness. What is May Madness you ask, something I want to do on my blog. So here we go. Let me explain. May Madness will be a month of craziness. I will be (or attempting to) blog every day of this month. So everyday this May you should be getting a blog post from me and I hope I can keep it up.

On another note my project from last month (notice the ground beneath your feet) will be up in two days time. Yes it is going to be a little bit late, but it will be up in two days. 

So that's all for today, lets get May kicked off.

April Matters.

Hey guys,

How's everyone going? I thought I would do another one of these little update blog posts again. Just like I did last month. So lets get started.

1. Notice the ground underneath you feet will come out this month. March was kind of crazy and I didn't get around to posting it up, so I will do so at the end of April instead. But it is still going to happen.

2. I have come up with a plan for the month of May, which I will share with you all later on this month, it should be fun and test me to my limits. But I am looking forward to seeing if I can challenge myself and I am going to need to plan ahead for that one. So get excited for that.

3. I get to go home for a holiday at the end of this week, so I hope to pack as much as possible in during that week as I can. Which I will hopefully blog about.

4. I am going to start doing a monthly review post. Showing you any pictures that have been taken during the month that has past. This will help me with my 'Take more photos' goal that I made at the beginning of the year. Which I will highlight my favourite moments of the month past.

5. I hope to explore some more throughout the rest of this month, so I hope to do so and share it with you guys. 

6. Blog more.

That's about it for April. I now have to go back to doing my Uni work, which seems to take up a majority of my time these days.

Project 2014

Hey guys,

So 2014 is well on it's way, we are almost at the end of January and that means that we are one month down. I am aiming to use 2014 as a year to change my life, throw in new things and put myself in new situations. This also means starting new projects and doing things that make me happy and mean that I don't spend all my free time sitting around on my laptop (which I happen to be doing now, but with a purpose).

Over the past couple of weeks I have noticed this book everywhere and it made me curious. It wasn't until I was watching my daily dose of YouTube that I got a good explanation for what is was, thanks to YouTuber Grav3yardgirl, that made me really want to give it a try.

So my first project for the year is the 'Wreck This Journal' by Keri Smith.

I am hoping that this will help me be more creative this year. I have always had a large imagination and I need to start finding outlets for some of the creativity that comes from my imagination, so I plan on using this for that. I also plan to share some of these pages with you guys, maybe a weekly or month update of sorts, but I don't even know yet.

I am hoping that I can also find out more about myself, you never know what will come out until you are given a task to really think about it. This year will be one of creativeness for me, as I need to start moving away from the place I have found myself stuck in since I left high school. 

I already have some big plans ahead for this year (including 'moving' to a new city for a majority of the year) and hope that I can broaden my horizons, for myself and for this blog. I also have a pile of new ideas for this blog that will vary hugely from last year. I also plan on blogging more as I find it relaxing to just write stuff out and send it into cyber space for people to stumble across, so hopefully this will all go down smoothly. 

I do hope to blog more frequently, although towards the end of next month it might be a challenge with the massive change that will be happening, but I hope that I get to share it with you guys and whomever stumbles down this rabbit hole.

I hope that you all have a splendid week, see you soon.

Change it up for 2014.

Hey guys,

So we are a good two weeks into 2014 and I thought I would write about change. I know that recently I have felt like I have been going through the same motions since I left high school three years ago, and I fell that 2014 is going to be a big year of change. Whilst almost every year my new years resolution has been to make the year ahead different, I think is well past time to actually do something about the subject. 

Found on pintrest.

I think that I have always perceived change as a bad thing. And I know I am not the only person who does the exact same thing. But a lot of the time it is viewed as something that you should approach slowly and with caution, or sometimes, not even at all. But now that I am finally getting used to the fact that the world isn't easy, I am beginning to realise that change may not be as bad as I always thought. 

Change can come in many forms, whether it's changing your hair, or moving to a new place, it always lies around the corner. you just have to make the choice that leads to the change. That leads to a new place for you to inhabit. It starts with dreams and ideas, that you just have to be willing enough to follow.

Found on pintrest.

So 2014 should be the year you make a change for yourself. Say yes to more things, do stuff you would normal avoid, explore the world more (it can be a fairly fascinating place) and find a sense of adventure.

So now that 2014 is here, I will be making changes. Some will be big and some will be smaller. And I encourage everyone to do the same. Don't let life get repetitive, mix it up a little.

I hope that I get to share my changes with you all.

2013: A review

Hey guys,

So I know I am a little late on the farewell of 2013 here on my blog, but I have been away and without a computer to use.

So here is my look back at 2013.

Firstly 2013 was a pretty good year to me. I studied for most of it and got to share some amazing moments with friends and family. I learnt new things about myself and new things in the areas I was studying. I also got to do some amazing things and have some amazing experiences with the people around me, who I wouldn't have had fun without.

Here are a few of my favorite moments of 2013:

-Going to Fiji with my best friend of 18 years

- Getting accepted into university after a three year break from full time studying.

- Seeing Taylor Swift in concert, as a birthday present.

- Buying myself a Canon 600D

- Performing on stage with my good friends on two occasions, one being music and one being a musical.

I hope 2014 will be as awesome as 2013 was. Here are some photos from the past year, which I hope never to forget.

  

Goodbye 2013.

You were good to me. Lets hope 2014 is just as good.
