Goals of 2019

New Year’s resolutions often have lots of pressure behind them, but I like New Year’s as a fresh start and time to make new goals. If any weren’t completed last year, then they can be a goal for the new year.

  Goals of 2019 Blog

Post more consistently

The goal is 12 posts per month, around 3 per week. But, school is a priority so during the winter term it may be less. Once school is out for…

2018 Goals Completed

2018 was a very busy year and a lot of goals were completed. At the beginning of the year I posted a list of goals I wanted to complete and now it’s time to revisit them!

Last year’s goals and how I progressed School

Finish making transcripts for my courses to send to universities.

Soooo, this went a bit by the wayside. The school ended up not needing transcripts (like I had originally…

France (Le Havre & Paris)

France (Le Havre & Paris)

A bit late in the travel series from earlier this summer, this post is from our last stop on the trip, which was France.

Le Havre

Places visited

The ship docked at the port early in the morning and it was a very pretty sunrise.

We only drove through Le Havre on the way to Paris but it was an interesting city. There’s a combination of both new and old architecture since not much of the city was…

Scotland (Glasgow, Orkney, Inverness & Edinburgh)

Scotland (Glasgow, Orkney, Inverness & Edinburgh)

After Ireland, we spent 4 days around Scotland.

Glasgow

I have had a fascination with Glasgow for a little while and wanted to go there so it was a good experience to actually be in the city.

Places visited and what I did

The ship docked in Greenock and we took a bus from there into Glasgow. The city seems like it has a younger population and felt hip with lots of cute trendy looking cafes and…

How I'm Trying To Get Through University Debt-Free

How I’m Trying To Get Through University Debt-Free

I was wary about wanting to go to university initially because it can cost so. Much. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to start your adult life in debt or with very little money in general. But, often what you get out of university you can’t get anywhere else. In my case of wanting to be in healthcare, it is hard to get a job where you haven’t been to post-secondary school.

Because of this, I have…

Scholarship Update

Several months ago I posted about struggling to find scholarships I qualified for. 

Update on my scholarship experience

After starting online school courses, I found out that made me eligible for automatic entrance scholarships at schools.  These are awarded upon admission when your average grade is 85% or higher. Usually, they are one time awards that will be taken off of tuition pricing. At the…

Ireland (Cobh, Cork, Blarney, Dublin, & Antrim Coast)

After travelling through England, we headed off to explore Ireland for 3 days.

Cobh, Cork & Blarney

The cruise ship docked in the town of Cobh, we then took a bus through the city of Cork to Blarney on day 1 of Ireland.

Places visited and what I did

We drove through Cork (I took some photos from the bus) and into the countryside to get to the village of Blarney.

Once in Blarney, we walked around…

Exams With Online School

Exams With Online School

In order to fully complete my online courses, I had to take final exams.

The experience & what was required

I had never taken an official exam before this, besides the SATs but it turns out those were different. The SATs had set studying (Khan Academy SAT Practice) so I didn’t have to figure out how to study. All I needed to do was go through the SAT Practice. This time I was rather unprepared…

England Trip (London, Southampton, Guernsey)

New blog post up on my trip to England. I went to London, Southampton and the Guernsey Islands.

In June I went on a 2 week trip around the British Isles starting with England!

London

We spent 2 days in London before boarding the cruise ship (more on this later!) to adjust to the time zone and explore London.

Food eaten, places visited and what I did

Flew into Heathrow Airport and took the Heathrow Express into London close to the Gresham Hotelwhere we stayed for 2 nights. The Express took…

Chia pudding used to slightly scare me because the look of it reminds me of fish eggs. But after attempting to make chia pudding a few weeks ago (you might have seen on Instagram) I was sold and it’s now one of my favourite breakfasts!

Chia seeds have a ridiculous amount of fibre, high in protein and if not using cow’s milk it is a vegan snack/breakfast. After trying some recipes and experiments I have found coconut milk is the best for flavour and texture.

Recipe

Ingredients

1/3 cup chia seeds. The GreatValue Walmart brand is the cheapest I can find.

1 400 mL (13.5 oz) can of coconut milk.

Sweetener to taste also depends on the topping. I used 1/2 tablespoon of honey.

Toppings. I have used macerated peaches, blueberries, strawberries & raspberries. Toasted coconut is always a good choice as well. I also added granola.

Directions

Mix coconut milk with the seeds until all of the seeds have been soaked. Then let sit. I usually make this after dinner then it’s a great thick texture when I wake up in the morning. So over 12 hours. But it also seems to work after sitting in the fridge for about 4-5 hours. Add toppings and enjoy!

I’m Back, Again

Hello! I am back once again from another hiatus. Exams are finished, trips have been taken and there is about 1 month until university starts.

I forgot to take any videos on the trip around the British Isles, so no YouTube video on that. But there will be posts on finishing up high school and homeschooling, travel, and food (of course!).

Boulder, Colorado Travel + Another Friend Met

Boulder, Colorado Travel + Another Friend Met

If you’ve noticed I’ve been a little M.I.A on the blog this is the explanation why. I’ve been in Colorado and it’s time for the second (read the first travel-ish post here!) travel post here! I’m still a newbie for writing travel so eventually, it’ll find its grove.

Travelling

I haven’t been on a plane in 9 years and was a little too freaked out by the fact that I was flying (and it wasn’t a…

May Goals Completed

In May I completed a few major goals and now that it’s June I’m ready for summer and a bit of a break! ☀️

May was the last month of serious school time constraints so those were the major goals. Over the summer the goals will be much less time-dependent.

Goals completed this month Blog

Continue to monetize the blog. There will be posts on how I am working on monetizing the blog in the future!

Have over 1,000 followers. There are currently about 1,200. Very exciting!

Summer 2018 Bucket List / Goals

Summer 2018 Bucket List / Goals

Now that the weather is warmer and school is just about finished it’s time for a summer bucket list! I’m always lost as to what to do when there’s no school so the summer bucket list is the most important season of bucket lists.

Summer 2018 bucket list

These are a few of things I’m hoping to do this summer:

Eat meals outdoors and enjoy the weather.

Roast marshmallows over the fire pit and make…

Accepted!!

After a few setbacks and much work, I was accepted into my top choice university!!

Finding out

University Number 1 only did admissions throughout the month of May. So, I was expecting to have to wait towards the end of the month or at least later on to hear back from the school. The first day of May I didn’t even check the application centre. But, the next morning I did and it read that there was…
