Get with the Trend! Or Not!!


I find it funny how style trends come in and out of fashion…

Over the past couple of months the  ‘grunge’ style has been in fashion, things such as printed skulls, checked shirt, dark washed out demin  etc has been appearing in shops everywhere.
 
I am certainly not the best person at keeping up with the latest trend at all. I tend to walk into a shop and just buy something because I like it, not because it is in fashion. i do admire people who are in the trend though, they aways look so good!!!

However when I was about 13 - 15 years old, I would have dressed mostly in the ‘grunge’ sort of trend. I loved it, but apparently others did not L

Everyone else was so caught up in their own high trend fashion that my outfits were frowned upon, if I were to wear these outfits now, I would fit right in.

Funny how just because something isn’t in fashion there are some people who don’t think you should wear it at all, it shouldn’t be up to them. What you wear should reflect your personality and be unique.

So many girls and boys are bullied for what they do and do not wear, this isn’t fair! It is their choice!!!  I don’t see why it is anyone else’s business at all. I’d rather wear something I feel comfortable in rather than wearing something that makes me feel awkward, just so I can fit in.

 

My mum always has said never to throw out anything that has once been in fashion because, fashion always repeats itself. So who knows, maybe your own style isn’t in right now, but in five years time, everyone could be parading around in YOUR look, but remember, you had It first!

Fashion Trends...

Things I would LIKE to TRY and do...


I feel like I am stuck in a rut, that my life isn’t really going anywhere, not that it can advance much further at the minute as I am still half way through my course at uni. If you read my last post then you would have noticed how I am starting to worry about what I am going to do with my life. Anyway, despite all this, I am determined to make changes in my life so I enjoy it more, you only live once right? 

First thing I plan to do is hit the gym!!!   Yes that’s right, I am going to get fit!!!! I don’t intend on losing too much weight because I am at a healthy weight already but my body is in a desperate need of toning up!!! So anyone who happens to be at Queens University Gym, keep watch you may get a laugh out of me failing miserably in the gym.
 
 
Tying in with that I am also considering running the marathon… O.K. I know many of you have heard me say this before but this time I really do mean it!!! Not the WHOLE Marathon, I am definitely not ready for that yet, but I might grab a few friends together and to the relay! Would be a great achievement!!!

¡hola, Bonjour, Salou, γειά σου, Ciao, 你好
Yes, you may have already guessed it, I would like to learn a language!!!  I love the way bilinguals can just freely switch between languages, especially when they are angry and just rant in a foreign language that you don’t understand. I knooooowwww, I will never be that good, but hey I could try, couldn’t I? Don’t know what I should learn though… any ideas?

I am also considering helping out at a care home, haven’t thought enough about it yet though, I’ll get back to you on that one!

SAVE SAVE SAVE!!!

Yeah, I kinda gotta save money… fat chance of that happening L
 
I wonder if I will actually put any of these into action.... hope I do, would be awesome!!!

The Future is SCARY

Do you ever feel like your at a dead end? That no matter what you imagine yourself doing in your mind you just always feel like you are going no where? Ever get frustrated with it?

I constantly feel like that... I guess its my ages, im 20 years old and soon uni will be over and I will have to enter the big bad world of FULL TIME WORK!!! YIKES!!!

I am really not looking forward to it, it is so so so scary thinking about it, makes me sad haha.

The future scares me...
Every one else seems to have their plans in their head of what they want to do and they seem to be playing that out quite well, yet all I am thinking is that I am going to be a bum/slob my whole life, amounting to nothing.

I was told everyone feels like this at somepoint in their life... is that true???

Growing up sucks, someone hand me the handbook to life please!!!
