September pledges

So I was reading a blogpost, where the blogger said the things that she wanted to achieve this September, and thought it was a fab idea as this month for me is going to be very very busy.

So here goes, have my pledges:

1. Try something different with fashion. Although I love clothes and fashion, unfortunately I don't often buy clothes, this is A. Because I have extremely expensive taste, so what ever money I do have is gone on like a sock and B. Because I don't really have the confidence to buy different things I have my trusty favourite items or styles I stick too.

2. Make the most of my last 3 weeks. I venture off to university this month Ahhh, scary but exciting! I have about 2 weeks left with all my friends as they all go so much earlier than me. I feel like neglected my friends as I've always sort of thought in the back of my mind, well they'll be there in September when we go back to school, but they won't anymore we're all splitting up and moving to different parts of the country.

3. Get healthy. Needless to say I'm not the skinniest or healthiest, but I want to be. I go swimming daily but I need to hit the gym some more and, I'm contemplating taking up running as it'll save me the £200 gym membership at uni. Thinking about going veggie for uni 'cause it's cheaper and healthier.

4. Uni shopping. I have soooo much more university stuff left to purchase, I so far have a lamp, a saucepan, a fish slice and a frying pan. The thing I'm looking forward to getting most is stationary. Uh, there is just something so pleasurable about buying stationary.

5. Go out on a whim. Putting myself out there a bit more is going to have to be important this month as I'm moving in with 7 strangers.

6.  Take more photos. I really don't take enough nice quality ones, normally I have a few snaps on my iPad or phone but never enough of my pretty SLR photos.

7. Make blogging a thing I do more regularly instead of reading other peoples and only posting when I have nothing to do, or am procrastinating.

I'll follow up at the end of September and reveal how well I've stuck to my September pledges, wish me luck!

OFFICIALLY A UNIVERSITY STUDENT!

So, the dreaded day arrived, and although I didn't get the grades I wanted or needed, by some miracle  my first choice university still wanted me. I can officially say, I am now an English Literature student studying at the University of Surrey which is currently 6th in the guardian league tables. Needless to say I was completely gobsmacked so spent my night nicely intoxicated, to celebrate the last year of hell officially being over.

I leave in just under a month and I am a mixture of excited and petrified. I love my university though, even if they didn't give me the accommodation I wanted.... I have to share a bathroom! (Woe is my life) I swear to god, if anyone is sick in our shower I will die.

I'm back in Devon today, but I'm off to Cornwall tomorrow for one last summer trip. Which is well needed before I venture off on my University adventure.

Going to miss my favourite possession, my beautiful double bed as I'll be going back to the single life.

The three musketeers are splitting up. 

Visited a place called Kelmarsh hall, it's fields and fields of gardens full of pretty flowers and they do the most delicious Welsh rarebit. I'd most certainly recommend to anyone!

SPONTANEITY

Basically... for the last hmm 2 months? i've shoved to the back of my mind the dreaded day that is results day. I feel like results day has the same effect as saying Voldamort, and the examiners are death-eaters.. if I say it, it'll get me. ANYWAY, as soon as it hit a week until 'you know when' i've been doing everything in my power to forget about said day. This resulted in me spontaneously buying a train ticket one night then going off to Devon on a one way ticket  to procrastinate.

Went to the nicest restaurant looking over Dawlish and Dawlish Warren in Exmouth harbour.

It's never too early for a cider, and damn that was a good'un, even if it did result in me being tipsy walking around Exmouth.

This is Gandy street in Exeter, which is one of my favourite places to shop. If you're ever in the area I truly recommend it! Its full of one off cute shops and rustic cafes. 

Definitely think that spontaneously jumping on the train to Devon,  even if it meant being up on the train for 6am, was totally worth it. And it was the perfect medicine for forgetting about 'you know what.'

A little bit of spontaneity gave me some of the nicest few days. So I encourage you to go out on a whim, and be a little spontaneous as it'll be worth it and may give you some of your best memories!

Do tell me some of your spontaneous days!

A month in pictures

Since August has crept upon us and July was a busy month I thought I'd fill you in, so sit tight...

Chavos

About Two weeks ago, the day after my last exam I jetted off to Kavos with the crew and despite a few minor hiccups, I can honestly say it was the best week. For me being the chubby one of literally 5 extremely hot skinny girls at the start was difficult, especially when the guys in Kavos only want the skinny ones. But ah well... That's no different to normal life right? We carb loving chubsters are commonly bottom of the list. But do not be like me, fellow slightly chubby single ladies, for i prevented myself from 'acquainting' with a seriously hot god who was actually into me because i feared I would be recalled as 'the fat one'....... Massive regret!! And when i bumped into him when we were both sober he still was keen Ugh.... Life. So now I'm back at home where instead if the odd 1 being interested im back to zero. Don't be too jealous, not everyone is as lucky to have as many suitors as me. One of my main highlights of the holiday was one morning being awoken by my best friend hitting me at like 12 noon pointing to the empty bed of our 3rd musketeer, who was missing. The memory of that Is so comical it genuinely felt like it was part of a movie. Fear not.. She did return she just cough was cough occupied.  Nothing beats a week of company with the best people. Uhhhhh holiday bluessssssss.

The threeeeee musketeers. I'm the chubby one in the 

Middle if it wasn't already that obvious. 

Think this is the only nice picture of the three of us

from the whole holiday. It's also my phone background 

Pleeeeeeaseeee can I rewind my life back to

a week ago. 

Livin la vida loca

So welcome to my life, i'm a somewhat chubby 18 year old, awaiting to receive confirmation that yes- I have indeed failed my A-levels and my Uni will have declined me. I know right... I'd be jealous too. So what's to know about me, I' m from the midlands-ish, I wanted to go to Uni to study English Literature and I have an unhealthy relationship with Netflix, carbs and Bridget Jones. My inspiration for the name 'ugly Becky' did come from Ugly Betty, what a surprise, because I'm literally her, minus ever having attracting boyfriends, poor me. I'm currently single... how exciting, and my love life/ dating life is about as dry as cardboard. So welcome to my life, from here on out you'll be informed of my exhilarating life before i probably commit on August 14th.
