Dear August

Dear August,

We have had a slight last minute swerve to get to you, hopeful of you yesterday I was, then a slight bump in the road but hopeful again I am today. You're taking me on the road to results day, and also the road into other cities, as well as god knows what surprises you shall direct me in. My last month of Summer, and how I plan to make the most of it. This month I believe will be about learning some life lessons and self-improvement but also living in the moment without the need to assess every situation.
This month I hope for good results, good times with my friends but also get all the stuff I need to do. So, make a start on all of my coursework, read a couple of books I've been trying to read forever, and begin working out. I am ready to be the best me, and the prepared me. I refuse to allow my last year of Sixth Form to challenge me into stress and havoc, I Lauren pledge my dedication to college, to stay positive and be the best version of myself.

See you again in 30 days!

Dear August

18TH!

-Due to being drunk and whatnot I could not post this on the 23rd but here it is-

I had an amazing birthday Wednesday, I got spoilt, and it was lovely. I had college but even that was quite successful. I got to wear my new jacket, I have had my eyes on the type of jacket for a long time so I saw my 18th as a chance to get one, and well I wear it everywhere. (Picture to the side)
My first lesson Film Studies they even sang to me, which was cute and awkward, I really wanted to join in but I'm sure the birthday person isn't supposed to! Film is always good, the people are great and the vibes are just phenomenal so it was good to have lesson on my birthday. I had english next, but I felt sick. An hour of nearly falling asleep and not being able to pay attention, it was a shame really because I genuinely enjoy my English lessons.
Afterwards I was going for lunch with the lovely Jane, she is a friend from Film she has saved my ass over the last couple of months,  she is amazing!! We went for... pizza and a pint, well I had a pint due to being the only eighteen year old, I cannot wait until she is eighteen,then we can drink together. Anyways so of course I had to take my I.D, which I used my passport, the woman who served me had to get second approval due to my dying my hair, currently a blonde but was a brunette in passport photo. So I got my first pint, which was Stella, I am told that's a good choice. The pizza was amazing too, pollo - I'm not usually a fan of sweetcorn but I liked it. So, by one in the afternoon I was drunk. please hold judgement, it was my 18th after all.
A drunk Lauren made her way to her sisters, I may or may not have serenaded the bus and the driver with music from my earphones. I bumped into an old college friend, lovely as ever and then arrived at my sisters. My niece was lovely, she is just a bundle of joy and I love being around her, she is my little partner in crime. My family came over and brought me roses and lilies with champagne, I was close to tears, it was so lovely and I have never had a bouqet of flowers before so it was definitely something. Forgot to mention I got given at least three wine glasses from different people - are they trying to predict my future?
 I continued to drink at my sisters, I also had a cake which looked like a pizza, it was so cool. I will do a whole picture thing on Saturday! I also got a new Sims Expansion pack - University life - Kara was more excited than I was. When I told her I got new Sims she was screaming and running around me and my laptop "NEW SIMS NEW SIMS" I recently showed her the Sims and whenever she sees me she wants to play, so naturally I know play Sims with my two year old niece whenever I am at my sisters. I stayed over that night, and we got a Chinese. It was so good, my birthday was amazing, also I didn't even get a hangover on Thursday!!

18TH!

Bus to adulthood

I awoken early this morning all eager. In a good mood a made breakfast for myself and family, it tasted pretty good. I then decided on a nice hot bubble bath, I had washed my hair the night before. So from there I began ready, feeling more and more like an adult as I put on my skin matched foundation and waterline eye liner. Then came the dress pants, skin type because they are my favourite. So comes the shirt, flat shoes and blazer. I have to say I looked and felt like an adult, once I added my black and white checketed vans backpack I felt more in my comfort zone.

I am currently on the bus to my interview, sitting backwards. Watching out the back window,  streets and familiarities moving further away from. Then is struck me, what if this is my bus to adulthood. What I'm moving further from is being a kid and I'm perhaps now moving into a new stage in my life. I will be attending my first ever job interview, and for once in my life I can gladly say that I feel confident. Let adulthood begin, I'm ready for you.
