The Best of 2015!

Where has this year gone? like seriously!? This has been the quickest year of my life so far, it really feels like I've blinked and it's the new year! 

This year has had many ups and downs, as does every year really. But I'm not getting into the life lessons and bad things as I've actually wrote a blog on that down below! So go check that out! 

I have had a pretty fantastic year, starting off in January seeing one of my favourite bands, Slipknot, to then meeting McBusted and having Tom Fletcher (from McFly) recognise you as you walk straight into the room, now that doesn't happen very often does it? I got to experience going to one of my boyfriends favourite bands, Papa Roach for the first time and it was crazy! Followed by my 21st Birthday which was a night I'll never forget (well the photos looked great, aha). My 21st truly showed me who is there for me and that I have one crazy bunch of people I call friends! Then, from friends having babies, going to see R5, Skerryvore Decade and 5SOS with old friends and A LOT of nights out too which if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have grown closer to people, who at the start of the year it would just be a quick 'hi' in the street! 

Every single person who made my 2015 a good one, thank you! I've had a fantastic time and I cannot wait to spend 2016 with you all! 

What I've Learnt About Myself This Year | Blogmas | Day Seventeen

I've been sitting on this idea for a while now, wondering if I should post this. I wasn't going to, but, I class my blog as my diary and a good way to look back on how far I've come!

This year in particular I've learnt an awful lot about myself, and well, life! Life can be difficult sometimes can't it? I'm now 21 and when I thought my teenage years would be the hardest, boy was I wrong! This is the time in your life you find out who your real friends are, who to trust and not to trust and to, well, start growing up! And I've done a lot of that this year! So, here's what I've learnt! 

Friends. I love my friends, a lot, but I started off the year with a lot more than I have now. This time last year I had a great group of friends, there was a good lot of us and I went from having a group who were inseparable , to about 3. That sucked. BIG time! Things changed, it was a simple as that. You grow older and realise who to trust and who not to, I must now only have about 4 good friends who I can trust with my life. These guys below mean the world to me, from my school friends to the friends I've became closer to this year. Thank you, you guys rock! (Not all my close friends are in these below as don't have up to date photos, but you guys mean just as much, you know who you are).

Not caring what people think of me. I used to care, a lot! I used to get upset and dwell on it for hours or even days, which thinking back was so stupid of me! The person that really changed my way of thinking, and not caring anymore, was my boyfriend. We have been through a lot together and noticing that he didn't care what others thought really pushed me to not care and do things that made me happy. I used to put others happiness before mine, but for once putting mine first really changed me and made me a better person. I'm a lot more open with someone if I have a problem and if someone doesn't like me because they heard something I done, I don't care. I ignore it or that person and move on. Life is way to short.  

Saving. I've learnt to finally save money and not spend it on makeup or clothes. Next year is a complete fresh start for my boyfriend and I. We are moving away and talking about the future really gets me excited! It's definitely what we need, and being able to see the money we've saved on our own place will really show me that saving has finally payed off! 


I've a had a lot of great times this year, but this one especially has been a learning curve for me! What have you learn about yourself this year? Let me know! 

New Year, New Me | New Year Resolutions 2015.

Every year I write resolutions for myself and just throw them away after a month thinking I'll sort myself out. Wrong.

This year I'm taking a new approach to things and writing 4 small things to change and then 1 massive one. I know then this way I'll definitely stick to them and feel better about myself.

4 small things

Declutter my life | That's not just throwing stuff out and getting rid of the old to make room for the new. That also means getting rid of the negative people in my life too. 

Eat healthy | I started this last year and I felt amazing.. well for the month I was healthy. This year I have the motivation and going to stick to it.

Blog more | I completely gave up with blogging as I didn't like the photos I took, the things I wrote and had no motivation to sort my blog out. I feel like it's going somewhere already. 


Love myself | I don't like the way I look, and point out the tiniest of flaws which probably nobody else sees. I need to realise I can't look like that model or actress on the TV and love me for who I am.

The BIG one

Don't take things to heart |This might be stupid but this is a massive thing for me. I always say that nothing bothers me, but in fact, it does. A lot. So, I'm going to stop listening to peoples negativity and think for myself. If it makes me happy then that is all that matters. I need to put myself and happiness first for once and stop letting people get into my head and change my opinions on things that mean a lot to me.

It's the 3rd of January now and so far so good! I hope I keep this up and don't get lazy and throw them to the side again. Good luck with yours!
