I'm attempting to get back into the swing of things

So....

The last year has been turbulent.

Uni didn't work out for me. I fell ill and had to drop out.

I had a chat with the powers-that-be, however, and I'll be back in September.

Good news right?

Wrong.

I'm scared. More so than last year. Because I cannot afford (literally and financially) to take the year again after this, so effectively it is my last chance. No pressure.

This really explains the lack of posting for the last few months... I am now trying ( have left it a little bit late, no? Maybe I'm just a pessimist) to get back into the swing of things.. Attempting to start writing again.

As the month's has flown by, I have noticed a lot of my friends from the course have dived into the world of Journalism head-first, some even writing for MTV!

So anyway, I realised.. I need a subject. I need an area and an audience for whom I am going to write for. Up until this point, I have just loved writing. But now it's time to get serious! It's time for a target audience, a pitch, a subject I am going to love.

Any ideas?

In other news, I made a book.

No, no... I am def not turning into good old JK Rowling. I mean, I have made a book to inspire me. It's got my goals in it. For example:
- Study and practise Russian.
- Make a timetable with certain amounts of time for each activity each week.
etc..

Also, I have put some motivational phrases in to inspire me to carry on and not give up ( That is one in itself, oui? )

'Be yourself.'
'Its OK to have an opinion. You will be respected for that'
'Choose your own miracles'
'Someone is rich, not by the belongings they own but by the qualities they possess'

And my favourite:

'Everybody dies but not everybody lives' ( Taken from the philosopher herself, Nicki Minaj, haha! )

The last one is something I have pinned up in my room. I recite it over and over again... Yep, I'm becoming NEW AGE! It's def something I am going to remember for the rest of my life. I was even considering tattooing it on myself... Kinda like 'Memento' so I can look and remember... But I'm still unsure of it.
P.S - I don't mean PHYSICALLY tattooing it on myself. I have a very gifted tattoo artist who is a dear friend of mine... So obv I'm gonna rope him into it :)

Ciao x
