My University Room (Blogmas Day Three)

by Unknown - 16:33

Hello You Lovely Lot!

This blog post is way overdue because I will have been here for three months this month. Better late than never though right? I'm just trying to convince myself of that. In all honestly, it took me this long to get my room tidy enough to show you all...that's not a joke.

For some reason the pictures on this keep disappearing and I don't know why!

This is my bed which doesn't usually look like this, everything's normally all over my room. I have two very handy plugs above it. As you can see I bought my giant Stitch that was a present from my friends Gemma and Lizzie and I also have my teddy bear. They remind me of home and of my friends and family so much so I'm glad I have them with me. I also think I'm adding to the collection but I'm waiting till my parents bring me up so I don't have to take them on the train! You can also see I currently have Christmas bedding, because you can't not have festive bedding in December.

I also have a little 'Merry Christmas' sign above my bed because you know, when in December. I'm not too sure what I'm going to do with that hook once it's January, but I'll find something I'm sure.

Yes. I have a printer. Let me tell you, it is the handiest thing in the world! It's so easy when I need to print my notes off or train tickets! I would totally recommend bringing one to University, I would be lost without it. Stacked on top of it are my body sprays and my perfume and yes...I have an advent calendar. Christmas isn't right without it!

This is the next part of my desk. My mirror! I didn't have this for the first few weeks and it was hell. As you can see I've organised my makeup palettes in a very neat fashion around it along with my lipsticks and my brushes. I have also added more festivity to my room by wrapping fairy lights around it and I love them so much I think I'm going to permanently keep them there!

Here's a little closeup of my super good organisation.

Then we move on to this which is my big makeup bag and all my cleansers and the like. Behind that I have my hair products which includes my saviour, salt spray. I am planning on getting a makeup organiser so I don't have to root through that big bag every day!

Now we have the worst photo ever of the work area of my desk! I have all my notebooks and my laptop (although it's usually on my bed). My stationary and all my daily planners. I don't know why I have more than one, I just like organisation.

I'm not sure what happened to my camera here but these photos are rubbish! This the bottom half of my bookcase with all my folders and my pencil cases. I also keep my glasses here because I have broken so many in the kitchen!

Then the top half of my bookcase! This is where all my books live as well as that letter 'B'. You know, incase I forgot my name. I keep books for my courses and books to read in my spare time (not that I have a lot of that) here.

This is probably my favourite part of my room. My pinboard. I have all sorts on here.

I have a collage of loads of pictures of my friends and a few signed albums.

I have my photobooth photos of me and Natalie along with my two One Direction tickets.

I have my lovely little inspirational posters

I have photos of me and a few other friends along with a little post card from my friend Ruth!

I also have my poster from Louise which makes me smile every day.

So, that's my room! It's not very exciting but I love it and it's a little safe haven for me. It feels like home nowadays!

Hello you lovely lot!

So, this is it! I'm going to University this week (and officially turning in to an adult, but can we skip over that bit? Cheers).

I have lived in Nottingham since I was around 8 years old, so 10 years and a bit now! However, before I moved to Nottingham I lived in Liverpool (not technically, I lived in Wallasey but nobody knows where that is (Harry Styles does though) so I just say Liverpool, it's very close). Now I'm moving back down to Liverpool to go to University! It's going to be a bit weird living there again but I'm also very excited, I love Liverpool so much, I still consider it home.

Nottingham has been very kind to me though, i've learnt al ot the past 10 years and there is no doubt in my mind that I would be a different girl had I grown up in Liverpool!

I have met so many brilliant friends here (as well as some not so brilliant ones, but let's not think about them).

And of course Natalie who is the bestest friend I could ever ask for

But I've got hundreds of photos to stick around so I can remember this lot whilst we're all away

I have also had some of the best experiences in Nottingham (this means *mainly McFly/McBusted* concerts)

That time when Tom Fletcher laughed at me
That time when Matt Willis sang in my face
That time when Harry Judd gave me his towel
That time I bumped in to George Shelley
That time me and Natalie drove to IKEA on impulse and had meatballs and I bought a giant jar...

My mum and Dad have always wanted to live in Wales so now I'm at University there's nothing to stop them! I might never call Nottingham home ever, which is a weird thought, but I will of course go back to see friends! My Dad has also applied for a job in Bristol so if he gets that they'll obviously have to move there, so not knowing where I'll come 'home' to for sure is a bit scary.

I'm obviously SO excited to be going to Liverpool. All of my family live around there so I'll be able to see my Grandma more than twice a year and I'll be able to see my little cousins Ella and Liv and watch them grow up rather than seeing them and being shocked by how they've grown! My first best friend Grace is also in Liverpool, we were apparently attached at the hip when we were little however I am glad I moved away. If I had stayed we could have argued as we'd got to the teenage years whereas we didn't have that. It's always lovely to see Grace and so being able to go out for a coffee will be the best thing ever I imagine.

I don't deal well with change and I know it will be hard to see all my close friends grow in to new people and find other friends but I know that when we all come home it'll be like nothing has changed. My birthday is also in January and I don't think I'm going to come home for it because it's on a Sunday and I don't want to spend my birthday on a train. It's going to be weird not being with my parents and my friends but I know I'll have my lovely flat mates and I can go and see my family!

Over the past few months I've had bits of nerves where I've thought 'am I really ready?' but now I know I am. I'm moving out and looking forward to all the new people, new experiences and a new life.

I sometimes find it hard to be positive so I got a load of happy posters that I'll be able to dot around my room so I know that in reality I'm fine!

So here's to University! If you're also going, good luck although you will most likely already be there because I do go quite late in the month!

Prepare for part 2 (which hopefully wont take too long once I've taken a few snaps of my room and of Liverpool and what not, I'm SO excited)

Thanks For Reading!

Hello you lovely lot!

I have made loads of purchases for University but yesterday I think I made my favourite one (thanks to Becca telling me where Home Sense was).

I bought a load of beautiful, inspirational posters!

You might literally not care but I just wanted to share them with you all because they fit in so well with theme I'm going for (which by the way is floral, pastel and maybe a bit tumblr, how cliché).

So, these are the posters that I bought!

You & Me

Now, I don't think I'm going to put this one up because it doesn't really relate to my life, haven't got anyone special *cue the violins*. However, I do think it is still a nice addition to the pack and maybe I'll stick all my polaroids on it and put it up? Haven't decided yet!

Find Joy In The Journey

I really love this one because even though I know that University is going to be hard and it is going to be a big leap for me, and there's going to be moments where I want to give up. I have to try and look on the positive side!

Wonderful

This is my personal favourite, maybe because it's pink? I don't think it really gives of a specific message other than it's very pretty to look at! I'm obsessed.

Travel Far, Dream Big

I also love this one and I definitely think it has some meaning behind it! It also makes me think of Natalie who's off galavanting around the world! I want to be a teacher however I know that could change but whatever happens I don't want my dream to change because I've given up! Teacher doesn't seem like a very big dream but it's exactly what I want to do!

Love It

You can't really see the writing on this because the sun decided to come out whilst I was taking these, so thanks sun. However, this is similar to the first one because it will remind me to be grateful that I've got the chance to go to University when so many children can't and make sure to enjoy it because even though you have to work, it's also the best time of your life...apparently.

You Were Born To Be Amazing

I think this is one of my least favourites and I'm not sure why but I did think about giving it away to one of my friends? As much as I love a good cliché I think this one is going a bit too far, it is a very pretty green colour though with lovely gold writing!

Life Is Beautiful

This is another personal favourite and I just think it's so beautiful (no pun intended...haha....anyway). It's also a very true statement and when I feel down and like giving up I will remember this when it's on my wall!

Shine

I think sometimes (especially in Drama, how ironic) I have a big confidence issue and also in life I'm just afraid to say things incase they're wrong. I need to remember that I wouldn't have been offered a place at University if I wasn't good enough! So in other words I need to remember to shine!

Hello

I'm thinking about sticking this one on my door? I think it'll just be a lovely addition to my room and a nice thing to see when I walk out the room!

You Got This

I really think this one is particularly important! Just to remind me that I can do it and that it will all be worth it in the end when I have my degree!

Polka Dot Heart

Not sure where I'm gonna stick this one because clearly it doesn't really have a meaning, maybe another one for the door? Very pretty though!

XOXO

Another one without a meaning but I do think it is so beautiful! Maybe I'll put this one near a mirror or near where I put my makeup on? I can't say for certain until I get to see my room!

So those are what I bought! I think they'll really help my room feel all homely because I have stuff like this up in my anyway, I might decorate them with my fairy lights? As I said there's no telling till I get there! I think my walls are going to be crowded what with all the photos I've got! But I'm SO excited to move and put up a blog post about moving, Liverpool itself, first impressions and my room!

Thanks for reading!
