<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Basically, I lost the password for my blog...</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://b2socialmedia.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/stupid-meme1.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://b2socialmedia.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/stupid-meme1.jpeg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Yeah... tell me about it...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Also I have another valid excuse! I have been swimming in work, killing myself keeping up with university work and trying not to fail anyway!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Long story short, after locking myself in my room for about a week and a half. And only leaving to buy more milk, I have submitted all my assignments for my second year of university!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am SOO happy! You have no idea how I nearly killed myself trying to get all this uni work done! :')</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But the thing is, now all my university work is complete. I'm sitting here like..</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/31239687.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/31239687.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have 4months off! Well I am going to America for 2months, I fly on the 18th June :) (More about that in my next post!)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But until then, I'm sat here, wondering what on earth do I do now!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hmmmmmm,,,</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong><u>UNIVERSITY WORK :(</u></strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"></span> </div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Oh yes it is that time of the month that every student dreads.</span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">From the very start of the semester every student is normally aware that they are required to carry out a few exams and assignments, but this information is quickly put to the back of your mind...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/31200000/Ain-t-Nobody-Got-Time-Fo-Dat-sweet-brown-31241125-480-330.jpg?1350304226659" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="220" src="http://images5.fanpop.com/image/photos/31200000/Ain-t-Nobody-Got-Time-Fo-Dat-sweet-brown-31241125-480-330.jpg?1350304226659" width="320" /></a></div>
However it gets to that time when you realise, that the deadline is 3weeks away and maybe you should have already started your assignments?.....<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://t.qkme.me/367a96.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://t.qkme.me/367a96.jpg" /></a></div>
So yes my fellow bloggers, it probably comes as no surprise that i am VERY behind on my work :(<br />
So please feel very sorry for me!<br />
<br />
Surely I can't be the only student that does this? x<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Instead of actually putting <strong>time and effort</strong> into my outfit, i just wore an old maid out fit and added a bit of scaryish not so scary make up?</span><br />

<br />
Now if you don't already know, I am quite a lazy person...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2juhkb5rS1r884hfo1_500.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2juhkb5rS1r884hfo1_500.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
I mean if i do have things to do, i will get up (just about).<br />
But if i have no reason to get out of bed...then quite simply I won't?<br />
It's bad right.<br />
<br />
I am the type of girl who would rather have an extra 10mins in bed, then spend that 10mins on getting ready and looking nice.<br />
<br />
The thing is, I love my sleep, it's just recently I've been thinking, is that extra 10mins in bed worth it?<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
***</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We all know that...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>If you look good, you FEEL good.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>So lately, tired of feeling down i decided to do just that.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>When i say "look" good, all i mean is taking that extra 10 mins in the morning, putting make up</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>on, putting in my contacts and taking time over what i wear.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/24086173.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/400x/24086173.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
Not going to lie, it was amazing the change in myself and how people treated me?<br />
When you feel good, you act confident, people want to be around you and you feel pretty good about yourself!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>After having a few weeks of feeling down, it was great yo get dressed up,</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>just for me and it was amazing how great my day went <3</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also did a bit of sneaky shopping for my halloween outfit (which i will update you all on ;))</div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To be fair I did want to read the book because of all the hype, reviews were calling it a "<i><u>yummy mummy book</u></i>" and of course I did not want to miss out!</span><br />

</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It poses in interesting question in my mind, the character of Mr.Grey is the </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">epitome</span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> of what a lead male romantic character is, string, wealthy, competent (he has a boat and a helicopter), carefree, brooding etc etc</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But is in fact very damaged and as a reader, you over look this! Maybe this just shows that women can't help a "fixer upper". We love a challenge and the author plays into this.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><u><br /></u></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">In my opinion she is a very clever women. By creating a twilight esque novel and adding erotic sex , its a seller and its no wonder her book has been flying off the shelf. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">To her credit she has created a very powerful character which will in no doubt translate very well onto the screen.</span></div>

<br />
<br class="Apple-interchange-newline" /><span style="font-style: italic; text-align: center;">To me, books are such amazing things. In each book, pure imagination is captured && to me that is such a powerful thing x </span>
<br />
<br />
Being an avid reader, I love books. I adore them.<br />
When I was younger they were my escape, on the playground, a new kid, in a new school where your peers seemed very different to yourself, my lunchtimes mainly consisted of finding my bench and sitting down and reading.<br />
<br />
When I was younger and now, I normally finish a book in a day.<br />
<br />
Today I read the hunger games, started this morning and finished this evening.<br />
<br />
<b>If I love a book, I will sit there, hours on end and read a book cover to cover, & realise I have spent the whole day lost in another place altogether.</b><br />
<br />
In books I was comforted. In books I was taken to magical places, I understood what bravery was, what magic was and in a sense what love was.<br />
<br />
Although not all novels depict love in a positive light, in fact many stories I read were full of heart break, but I have ALWAYS been a sucker for love stories.<br />
<i><u><br /></u></i><br />
<i><u>The question in my mind is, is romance in books better?</u></i><br />
<br />
You could argue it is, men always showing their love, poems, lavish gifts, climbing mountains/fighting/fighting off death to be with/save/find the one they love.<br />
<br />
<b><u>My opinion?</u></b><br />
<br />
I love reading about love in stories. However, realistically the idea of love is over heightened, over exaggerated in these stories. Yes I would love to be showered in outbursts of love everyday, but you know what?<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Wouldn't</span> that just make it less special? When someone says you are my everything, surely being told that at the right moment means more, stays in your heart, rather than being told every single day?<br />
<br />
<b> When it comes down to it, when you find your own fairy tale, when you create those moments in your life when you think "you know what? This would make an amazing chapter in a book" to me that is Love.</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>Yes I haven't climbed a mountain, no I haven't jumped in front of a train.</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<i> Instead, I've done one thing better...</i><br />
<i><br /></i><br />
I've brought my notions of love, learnt from these books to my actual life.<br />
Instead of reading above love, I experience it everyday.<br />
<br />
Instead of reading about characters feeling butterflies, or feeling an electricity, I get to experience that myself.<br />
<br />
<b>Okay, don't get me wrong, I adore romance in books, I'll open up a book and get lost into another world. It's just amazing to know that when I close that book, I have my very own adventure to embark on.</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
<b>***</b><br />
<b><br /></b><br />
Bit of a soppy post I know? Feeling broody, I think its effecting my brain ...<br />
<br />
Does anybody else adore reading, getting lost in another world?<br />
Or do you think romance in books will always be better than real life?<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When everyone else is lying in the sun, I'm hiding under a tree.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When everyone goes out I slap on factor 50 sun cream even though I don't burn.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This for me has been quite a difficult question to ask myself because someone with any sense would say:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"...well aren't i responsible for my happiness?"</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Yes that is very true, but I said someone with sense, and being a female i feel sometimes we lack this common sense given to us. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I myself have fallen into the trap of allowing others to dictate my happiness. my happens being determined by the attention given by others to myself.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sounding familiar?</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When someone tells you, you look nice</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When you get a random phone call out of the blue</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When someone takes the time to see you</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">etc</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This equates to happiness. && why wouldn't it? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The kindness and attention, of your loved ones, friends and family of course would make you happy... but</span><br />
<b><u><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></u></b><br />
<i><b><u><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">On the other hand...</span></u></b></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When someone tell you, you look fat</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When you feel no body has time for you</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When everyone is too busy to give you the attention you feel you need</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">etc</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">This equates to sadness.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">&& I have learnt a valuable lesson. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"...When you give away your happiness to others, you will always be disappointed because at the end of the day, we are only human. No one can make you happy all of the time<span style="background-color: white;">."</span></span></i><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The term used by many people, describing the constantly cycle of getting up to work, to then eat, shower, sleep then go to work yet again. </span><div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">being a student, I'm somewhat sheltered from the everyday needs of going to work. Yes I don't get a lot of money from my student finance, but when i do get a job i normally just spent it on student things, going out, clothes etc</span></div>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><u>and who wouldn't? </u></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Being a student is the only time you get to be an adult and not have to worry about working all the time.</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It however being the summer, && having 3 months of nothing to do, I decided to get a job at a posh establishment (mentioned in a previous blog post)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>For 1 week i got to... Live && Breathe what many people would call the </i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>"rat race"</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><u>and you know what?</u></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><u><br /></u></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><u><b>I hated it</b></u></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><u><b><br /></b></u></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">waking up at 6am to get home for <b>7pm</b>, to then eat, shower then pass out. I was so exhausted that by the time my head hit the pillow, it was time to wake up again and go back to work!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Now I'm in the position that, yeah the wages are rubbish but the money i earn i get to keep for myself. However if i actually had to pay for my uni rent, I would have to work 2weeks to just afford the rent.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><u>Then i thought to myself...</u></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><u><br /></u></i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When i finish my degree, & get a job, my life will consist of working to pay bills. Because that's what "were meant to do right?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>On a final note...</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Most of us have been brought up to go to school, get a degree and get a good job. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have always been told to get a good job "working for someone else"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Am i the only one that finds that concept slightly depressing?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am not surprised many young women, aspire to be WAGS or marry rich men.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It sounds a lot g</span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">lamorous then what they would have to do if they didn't have men with deep pockets.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Just a quick post because honestly... I am <strong><em>shattered.</em></strong></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a temp job for the week and due to a contract i signed </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(-_- tell me about it)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I can't say where I'm working, I can just say it's over run with posh stuck up people.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<em><u><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Now don't get me wrong...</span></u></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">I have nothing against rich or upper class people. If you were lucky enough to be born into money or talented enough to make a great deal of money thats great. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">However I don't believe someone having money entitles them to think everybody else is "beneath them". </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<em><u><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Here's 1 example...</span></u></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Was at work today, in my uniform and a well dressed women with her well dressed friends SHOVED past me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">They saw me, I was in clear view, they however chose to push past me instead of saying "excuse me" or even "sorry" for elbowing past me!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Verdana;">I said to the girl working with me:</span></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana;">"How rude are they! They can't do that!"</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong><em><span style="font-family: Verdana;">To which she just replied:</span></em></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<em><span style="font-family: Verdana;">"Well you do only work here"</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">That was just one not so bad example I chose to share as </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">there was too many examples i encountered today!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Am i just being fussy?</span></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strong><span style="font-family: Georgia;"> If you work somewhere should you be expect customers to just be rude to you?</span></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I do like going out and getting dressed up, it I go to a posh establishment then i expect a great service, however I don't assume i have to power to be "rude" to the people who work there simply because I'm "paying their wages".</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Am i just being miserable?</span></em></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Maybe I worked too long of a shift today :(</span></em></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">

<i><u><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">An Uncomfortable Limbo</span></u></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My own experience of university is that i was honestly so scared. I was like I HAVE TO MEET NEW PEOPLE and I'm leaving my boyfriend behind etc etc</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">It all worked itself out in the end, university does have its up's and it's down's.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">However, when I'm at university:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> <b>I miss the comfort of being home, knowing you don't have to worry about bills and knowing you get dinner made for you.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">My family drive me crazy, now I can no longer sleep until 3pm, now I can't leave a pile of washing on the floor and I can't go out any time I want.</span></b><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></i><br />

<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I am very much in a limbo situation.</span></i></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><u><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">What happens after university?</span></u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><u><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Is finishing a degree your rite of passage into adult hood?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Are you now expected to find a job, pay your bills and be an adult?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Am I honestly the only person who finds the prospect of working for someone else for the rest of my life such a depressing prospect?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u><br /></u></span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Does a degree = success?</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<u><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Honestly I don't think it does. In fact I think it holds you back. I went to university because I want to get a job and lead a "comfortable life"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Going to university creates the mindset that after you get a degree, you WORK for somebody else.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Not going to university creates the mindset that "if no one will hire me, I will make my own money"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>The richest people of our generation didn't attend university, in fact they created multi-million pound companies and now </b>HIRE <b>University graduates.</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u>Why do you go to University then?</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I want security. Simple as. I want it all, I want to have my own business and not work for somebody else, but I want to have something to fall back on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I also want to be taken seriously. Having a degree makes people listen to you, suddenly what you have to say is suddenly more important because you survived x amount of years at a university.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Another reason is, I do enjoy learning. I like to be surrounded my new people and when you do that, opportunities arise which you can take advantage of.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><u>So what's your point?</u></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Just because you didn't go to university, doesn't mean you are not successful, there is enough proof out there to suggest not going to university has the complete opposite effect on you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you do go to university, don't settle. When you graduate keep your dreams in mind.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Believe it or not, from a young age I have always wished i was a lighter colour. I think it must have been the fact that at school i was the "only brown girl" and it used to bother me a little bit. I used to ask my mum "mum how come your chocolate and daddy's white?"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When i was little i would have given anything to be a white, bright blued eyed blonde girl. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I don't know why, in my family it was never mentioned that being brown was a bad thing, in fact being a different colour was like having different hair colours or eyes.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">However...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><i>I had a boyfriend at 14, and i remember not being able to meet his friends of family. The reason being? "oh they don't really like people like you...."</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Looking back at it, I was stupid to be okay with that?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">I don't know about you, but it seems to me the older you get, the more your friends fit into certain categories. </span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">You have those friends that...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">you can go partying with && be mental with (but can't introduce to your parents)</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_P5i9Ar6acs/T9Yj0wGmHCI/AAAAAAAAABo/KAJ0K0umdIQ/s1600/studying.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_P5i9Ar6acs/T9Yj0wGmHCI/AAAAAAAAABo/KAJ0K0umdIQ/s200/studying.jpg" width="200" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">you study with, knowing they're the top of the class and hoping you can steal some of their brain cells...<br />
(but know they would be some what awkward in social situations)</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IPY6ZANVphw/T9YkpWCv5bI/AAAAAAAAABw/kxT_WBqErQ0/s1600/double+date.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IPY6ZANVphw/T9YkpWCv5bI/AAAAAAAAABw/kxT_WBqErQ0/s200/double+date.jpg" width="169" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">your "couple mates" that you can always count on to go "double dating with"<br />
(but always feel awkward when you bring your single friends along)</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">But to me, these <i>"friend categories" </i>remind a lot of different items of clothes.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">If you can only wear certain items of clothes to different events, should the same be said for friends?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b> It got me thinking of, if my friends could be categorised into clothes, what item of clothes would they be?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">So I came up with:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;"><b><u><i>The Leggings --> Your Party Animal Friends</i></u></b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<b><u><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The Leggings</span></u></b><br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Mw-1yIX17O0/T9YPIthkEaI/AAAAAAAAABM/FNIzZfRTe-c/s1600/leggings.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Mw-1yIX17O0/T9YPIthkEaI/AAAAAAAAABM/FNIzZfRTe-c/s200/leggings.jpg" width="107" /></span></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">They make you feel fabulous when you wear them, suddenly these leggings pull you in, in all the right places && your bum looks amazing!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">These are the friends that will try anything once and you end up going along with it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">From wearing the highest heels to the biggest earrings. </span><br />
<b><u><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></u></b><br />
<b><u><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Pros</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Great for taking on a night out && letting your hair down</span><br />
<b><u><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Cons</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Realising that your friendship status is based on how many drinks you buy them & have a sneaking suspicious that although wearing overall bright leggings is the "in thing"... is it really you?</span><br />

<b><u><span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Verdict</span></u></b><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Sooner or later you realise no matter how much you love your "<i>legging mates</i>", being a party animal 24/7 isn't really you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">And anyway, leggings never look as great on you, as you actually think they you do..</span></div>
