I have finally finished my second year at uni and my word it has flown by, it only feels like yesterday I was a fresher.
I can't wait to start third year already. I'm so excited. I have so much to look forward to. Being Deputy Editor of Bullet, tackling my dissertation and so much more!
But for now, I intend to enjoy my summer. I have gained work experience at Lincoln County Press Office, Hull Daily Mail and hopefully, fingers crossed Lincolnshire Echo.
Plus I have my 21st birthday to look forward. My dad and step mum have organised a huge party so that should be great, I can not actually wait.
I am also hoping to find full time work over the summer to earn some dollar to get out of my rather frightening overdraft haha
Anyways,
Choi for now as I need to go and job hunt with Megs
Em :)

Military Relationships...
I have been with my boyfriend Liam, for a year and a half now, and it has been great, but has not come without its difficulties.
I have had to deal with scheduled and organised weekends, last minute changes to plans, not being able to see him on those lonely bored nights and most of all his month long trips away.
All of that, has been fine I can handle all of that. I, myself, like time to myself and don't feel the incessant need to be with someone constantly.
However, I have just been told he will be serving in Afghanistan for a tour of duty come September for six whole months. I seriously can not imagine not seeing Liam for four months and only having the occasional phone calls, its going to be tough, granted.
Yet, somehow, I feel that this could be a big, huge step for us that could turn into something positive. It will make me appreciate the time I do spend with him, rather than having stupid little spats at each other because one of us won't help each other cook tea or the rows we have for leaving wet towels on the bed. It sounds ridiculous, I know!
I intend to throw myself into my uni work, and now I have been giving the job role of DEPUTY EDITOR of Bullet Magazine, I feel my spare time will be taken up by this. I actually cannot wait. I hope that because I will be so busy with my uni work, my 10,000 word dissertation, my deputy editor role and fingers crossed a part time job, that the 4 months until Liam does come home for R&R will fly by.
I am hoping to turn my experience of this into an ongoing feature piece/diary entry into Bullet Magazine or at least on my blog so that I can look back on this as a sort of time capsule. Try and make something positive out of a bad situation.
Plus, Liam has promised me that we will be moving in together once he has come back and ive finished at uni, and I actually can't wait, I'm already looking for pink utensils to fit in with my PINK kitchen hahaha!

Friend or Faux?
After having a bit of a rough time at university this semester somethings positive have been achieved out of all this.
I have finally realised, after one and a half years, who my real friends are at university. I have come to the decision in my life that although my real friends can be counted on just one hand...I don't care.
So what if I dont have tons and tons of friends it does not mean I am less sociable then the next person.
Some of my friends at uni constantly ram down others throats about how popular they are and how they have all these so called mates, but to be honust can they really say they are friends, do they know each other inside and out and have a real honust friendship or is it a mutal fake friendship that they possess to look popular? I think the latter.
University can be fake and towards the beginning everybody wants to be your friend but as part of the growing up process of university life you realise who your real friends are, and for those who have not realised, well they obviously still have a long way to go in the maturity stakes.
