You know what, I need someone who looks at me the way that Mr Darcy looks at Lizzie during the piano scene

Finished Uni last week 😭 It’s such a strange feeling, I feel really sad about it. It’s been a part of my life for 4 years, and is somewhere where I’ve been able to grow and develop, especially in relation to my independence.

Coming back home is going to be a big shock to the system I think 🤔 I love home, but after living independently and with my friends for 4 years, it’s going to take some getting used to again.

And it’s also the start of real adult life (ahhh 💀)!! I know all will be well, but it’s actually really daunting lol

Also the fact that I’ll no longer be a student is also sad because it’s what I’ve always been lol 😭 Anyway xoxo

Forgot how much of a bop the theme tune to Turn: Washington’s Spies is.

Theme: THERES SNAKES IN THE GARDEN, BLOOD ON THE VINES OOOOOHHHHOO

Me:

I have just finished Turn: Washington’s Spies! It has taken me six years 🥹 Such a good ending I almost cried!

Throwback to when I used to watch it (illegally) and then lost access until it was put onto Netflix again recently!

Is the fandom still alive?! I hope it is, I need to talk to someone about this lol 🤣

It was the History Graduation Ball yesterday for my class! It was so fun to celebrate with my friends and lecturers ☺️ An emotional night, and some of my lecturers gave me a hug 💕 I have to say that it was so strange to be drinking and doing the cha cha slide with them, but it was really fun!

Currently sitting outside of my placement building! I managed to get here before all of the rush hour traffic (for a change)!

I’m so sad that my placement is coming to an end, I’ve enjoyed it so much! It’s so nice to be back in a working environment that 1) is really friendly; and 2) surrounds something that I’m interested in and want to further my career in ☺️

Update: Received the grade for my assignment that was based on this placement today! So happy with it. Doing a Master’s degree is challenging, but so rewarding at the same time :)

do you ever see a person and you are overcome with incredible fondness? and you just think "oh." but not in a romantic or sexual way you are just filled with warmth and it makes you happy, it just does. and you think "i'm so happy you exist. i'm happy you are somewhere out there in the world, doing your thing". it's love but also not entirely

like people are lovely and i feel it in my entire chest like a burning candle that smells like roses and a sunny day

Just submitted my last assignment before Christmas and am now watching Turn: Washington’s Spies on Netflix … life is good :)

I almost cried from joy when I saw it was coming back onto Netflix! I used to be OBSESSED with it back in the day!

Thank you for the tag @isolarrwilde ❤

What book are you currently reading?

The Picture of Dorian Gray (It's taken me so long to read because all my time has been taken up by Uni, but it is one of my faves. Big up my babe Oscar Wilde).

What do you usually wear?

I usually wear flary skirts, flared trousers, band t-shirts, Doc Martens / Converse. Most of my clothes are bright coloured, and you can usually spot me straight away (I have been described as standing out like a sore thumb in a room full of people lol).

What's your favourite movie you've seen in theatres this year?

I haven't been to the cinema in ages, but the last thing I watched was Downton Abbey: A New Era, and that was pretty good!

What's your star sign? Do you share your birthday with a celebrity or historical event?

Gemini. (Unpopular opinion, but I think Geminis get too much hate, like leave us alone). I share my birthday with Kanye West (of all people lol), and Robert Kennedy's funeral.

Do you by your full name or a nick-name?

Most people call me by a nick-name of some sort. Not many people call me by my full name tbh.

How tall are you?

5'4 the last time I checked!

Are you in a relationship? If not, who is your crush if you have one?

This question better say sike rn. And I have celebrity crushes ;) Who doesn't hehehe

Did you grow up to become what you wanted to be when you were a child?

No. I wanted to be a firefighter when I was a child, which I am definitely not! I also wanted to be a nurse, but I don't like blood so that career option was left behind lol.

If you draw / write / create in nay way, what's your favourite picture / line /etc, from something you created this year?

I made this set for my mum’s friend’s baby born this year! :)

Dogs or cats?

Cats forever! I was scared of dogs for such a long time as a child.

What's something you're good at vs. something you're bad at?

I suppose I'm good at crocheting? I am terrible at maths!

What's something you'd like to create content for?

I don't know.

What's something your currently obsessed with?

The Quadrophenia album by The Who. It was one of my faves as a teenager, and I recently listened to it after years and fell back in love with it. What an album :) What's something that you were excited about that turned out to be disappointing this year?

The world cup! :( Don't mention the England v France match to me or my son ever again. I won’t be eating croissants for at least a year lol.

What's a hidden talent of yours?

I don't know lol.

Are you religious?

No.

What's something you wish to have at this moment?

Loads and loads of chocolate. I can't get enough :)

Tagging anyone who wants to do this :) Was pretty fun tbh!

I was lulled into a false sense of security after reading week when the readings died down a bit, but now … I am questioning my will to live lol 🤣 This literature review might be the end of me! I’m really enjoying researching the topic but it’s a lot. And it doesn’t help that the deadline has been moved forwards a week noooo
