The milestone of every year that represents us getting one year older than we were. 

Today was mine.

Now I must admit, now that I am older I don't quite get excited about it like I did when I was a kid. I find that other people are more excited about it than I am personally, but I wouldn't be able to tell you why that is. Maybe the thought of growing up just frightens me, and I wish that I could be like Peter Pan and the lost boys, and never grow up.

That's not to say that I am truly appreciative of the people who made my day better and filled it with the extra sunshine that one deserves on their special day.

To my family for cheering me up all day and singing happy birthday to me on the phone multiple times.

To my roommate who went out of her way to make me and ice cream cake, of which she is the first person (Outside of my family) to ever make me a cake.

To the girls I work with back home for sending me pictures of the dogs from work with their messages, it cheered me up and made me feel a little bit homesick.

And to everyone who went out of their way to say Happy Birthday, I'm not sure I deserve it from some of you, but thank you anyway.

I hope you all had a wonderful Monday, and that someone puts that little bit of sunshine into your day, like you all deserve.

Just a small update.

It has been a while I know. I have many excuses that I could make for my being away, but the reality is I was just out living life, working and enjoying my holidays.

Now the summer is almost over and I am heading back to uni, for my last year. I will be doing things and having fun. I will be trying hard to complete my work and finally finish my studies. 

So here is a little update just to get us started again.

I have spent the summer months working away. It is practically all I did on my holidays, which is kind of what I wanted to do, and on my days off all I did was sleep and be lazy. I got to spend my days with dogs and animals, just being comfortable and at peace with life.

I took chances in life and did things that I had wanted to do for a while, like dyeing my hair. 

I spent time with people who made me happy and made friends with new people.

It has just been a pleasant summer. 

I hope everyone is well. And I hope to see you all soon.

February 2015 Rewind.

Somehow I managed to miss a January rewind, which I had planned to do and only just realised I never did. But never mind that now, February is ending and I figured I would just skip a month and do Feb's rewind now.

Starting off with recently, I left Sydney and road tripped my way back towards Melbourne and my University studies. including moving back onto campus and meeting my new roommates.

Signs are fun sometimes. 

Before leaving I got to spend a lovely three days with one of my best friends, relaxing, having fun and eating good food. Also us trying new coffee places, an obsession of both of ours.

I also got one last chance to spend some time with my favourite dogs at the shelter I worked at over the summer, saying goodbye to them. This was also a fun day out with my bestie, and it was a brilliant day in the sun.

The rest of February was filled with working hard at my summer job and enjoying the sunshine on my days off. 

With today being the 28th of February its the last day of summer in Australia, meaning that winter is coming along soon. But with winter comes to cozying up and watching the rain. 

I hope all of you have had a good summer (or winter).

Let me know what your favourite memory has been over the past season (whichever you have just had).
