Catch Up - It's been too long!

Hey! Long time no see lovelies, As many of you will already know, I'm a student and naturally as the academic year comes to an end I've had so much work to do. I've had an exam and lots of coursework so with portfolio's and essays coming out of my ears I decided to put blogging on hold till my deadlines had passed. 

I've missed writing for you guys so much and so just one day after my last deadline, I'm back! I've had lots going on outside all my work which include a lot of stressful things and a couple of lovely things just to balance it all out! 

I'm finally back home for the summer and it's so lovely getting to spend so much time with my family and my boyfriend, One of my best friends got engaged which was just amazing and I've had a great time catching up with my friends this past couple of weeks in between finishing and submitting work. 

I recently started my Slimming World diet too and I've been really enjoying it, weigh in isn't till tomorrow so I'm not sure how I've done yet but I've been sticking to it religiously and I've been loving trying out all the new recipes, maybe an idea for a post soon?

My skin has been so bad since moving back home, I thought maybe it was the change in water? Or is that a silly suggestion? My usual skincare just isn't clearing it up, if any of you have any suggestions for really dry skin and breakouts then let me know because it's driving me mad!! 

Now I have so much more time on my hands again there will be at least 3 posts a week, maybe even more if I get a spare evening. 

Don't forget to comment with your skincare tips to save a poor bloggers life!

2013 In Pictures!

I thought I'd write a quick post with 12 memories of 2013! They're all from Instagram so since I don't instagram everything, not all of these are my 'best' memories, just some of my favourites!

1. SNOW SNOW SNOW!! Last January I woke up to this view out of my bedroom window! It finally stopped snowing in April and I never got bored of it!

2.  I bought my tortoise Eliot early February and I love him to bits! He's such a cool pet and I really miss him when I'm at uni!

3. My baby cousin Ava was born! She's such a character and I can't believe how much she's grown up over the year! 

4. My lovely boyfriend bought me a matching Pandora ring and charm for my 19th birthday. I love the colour of them and haven't taken them off since!

5. Me and my boyfriend had a lovely day out near where we live, playing mini golf and walking down the beach with an ice cream!

6. This is the most memorable lunch I have ever had! It was so yummy!!

7. The amazing pancakes I had at the pancake house when myself, my boyfriend and our 2 friends went to Center Parcs over the summer! 

8. Finding out that I had a place at Edge Hill University was definitely memorable! Especially since I hadn't slept the night before!!

9. Trying to organise my makeup took a lot longer than I thought! Was sat staring at this for quite some time!

10. I got glasses and met up with friends to say goodbye before I started uni!

11. I rediscovered my love for drawing during a boring saturday at uni

12. I met some absolutely amazing people at uni that I hope I will always stay in touch with. We've had some great nights since september!

What are your best memories of 2013? Drop me a comment and let me know!

My Uni Life

I wanted this post to be all about Uni. Where I'm studying, What I'm Studying and Why! 

I feel like when i was waiting patiently (more like impatiently!) for my results i was just spamming websites with any information on the uni that i wanted to go to. They were all helpful don't get me wrong but there wasn't a blog. I wanted a blogger to have written all about Edge Hill and why they went there. Cute photos of their room, photos of the campus, information about the nightlife etc...

I know that the chances of someone who is starting Edge Hill in September and are looking for exactly what i was last year are pretty slim but if you're that person, then i'm thinking that you're probably in the right place.

The Room

My room is in the newer blocks situated on campus (I'm not gonna say where exactly for safety reasons) and its probably one of the nicest uni accommodation blocks that I've seen and trust me i went to plenty of open days!

Excuse the Image Quality!!

One of the many things that I love about my room is the fact that it is so bright! Even on a dull wintery day, my room never looks dark and gloomy which i love. Helps motivate you to do work!!

The Campus

I absolutely LOVE the campus! I am from the countryside and the second that i walked on to the campus i felt at home. It's really helped me settle in and feel less homesick and the scenery is beautiful from little streams to duck ponds and quaint little bridges. There is a modern feel to the buildings on campus and it looks really fresh.

The Degree

This part is fairly simple...

   BSc (Hons) Marketing with Advertising

I can do a whole post on this sometime if you like, just feel like it would need a dedicated post!

The Social Life

Ok, so I am an honest woman and i feel like it would be dishonest to tell you that Ormskirk will be the best night out of your entire life. It will however be memorable. Ormskirk isn't a city centre but still has a fairly good nightlife with a range of both pubs and clubs. Its not too expensive and taxi's are £3 or a walk is easy enough so can't complain there! A train to liverpool takes 30 minutes and under a fiver though and that on the other hand will be an amazing night! Yes the drinks are more expensive if you don't go on a student night but its more than worth it!

Me squeezed in between 2 of my flatmates - Envi, Liverpool

I feel like i could put so much more information into this post but i doubt anyone could cope with the length! 

If anyone has any questions, feel free to post below and I'll get back to you ASAP!!

If you're applying to uni at the moment or waiting for offers then good luck!! 

Keep Working Hard

Catch up Part 1

Well after 7 long months i finally feel ready to start blogging again! What with A Levels, Uni offers and my first semester at uni now out of the way i can focus on what i enjoy!

I figured i would start off with a  few nice catch up posts to let you all know what I've been getting on with since my student budget after freshers week didn't leave me with much spare to spend on myself.

I am going to split this into 3 posts so I don't bore you all so keep on the lookout for the next 2!

In August this year i found out that i had received a place at Edge Hill University which was my first choice!!!

I couldn't be happier with my choice of uni and my first semester has been incredible. I've met some amazing people and my course (Marketing with Advertising) Is also really great.

I absolutely love my room at uni. Sometimes even more than i love my room at home! Its a lovely new fresh room and i've dressed it up with some of my favourite things like this beautiful 'LOVE' light from Primark. It was only £7 and it looks lovely and makes my room look really cosy. 

There's so much more to show you all and a few cheeky purchases to review along the way. I'm now going to fit my blog into my daily routine so i'll never miss a post again!

If any of you are at uni, which uni are you at and whats the best thing about it?

Love Leesha
