Hello and yes, I have been MIA for 5 months but with good
reason!
The second semester of university had its demands and
although I finished late April, I’ve been on the hunt for a placement endlessly
since December, but that’s another story! So what has been happening?! Just
like the title says, all of the good things…
~ I finished my second
year at university and low and behold, I secured a 2:1 which is a cause for
celebration in my eyes. Moving forward from this, the girls I lived with all
got accepted for study abroad so my decision to do a placement for a year was pretty
fitting. I have to say though the hunt for an industrial placement is
incredibly hard, but that’s for another blog. Coming back home after months
living in my own house is a shock to the system though, whilst you still have
most of your independence nothing compares to the life you live at university.
~ I’ve had the pleasure to see my two favourite female artists;
Dua Lipa and Demi Lovato, which have hands down been some of the best concerts
I have been to. Alexandra Palace saw Dua Lipa take over and ignite the venue
with a burst of energy and radiance as she performed some of her best songs
including ‘IDGAF’ and ’Hotter Than Hell’. The entirety of the
show was an exciting and positive experience with everyone leaving with a smile
of their face and jump in their step. I’ll definitely be seeing Dua live again,
very soon.
Secondly, Miss Lovato at The O2. Again, an iconic and
empowering female artist who shared her personality and passion as she
performed on stage. We were lucky enough to have floor seating directly in front
of the stage, so our view was 10/10, just as the show itself. Having been a fan
of Demi for a forgetful amount of years, seeing her live was a dream come true
and is something I will live to remember forever!
~ I also managed to go on a sun filled holiday this year with
my boyfriend to the Balearic island of Majorca (more specifically Magaluf).
Although traditionally a party island, this didn’t affect our somewhat ‘romantic’
holiday, as we filled each day with either an exploration around our hotel (BH
Majorca), exotic mini golf along the coastline or even an oversold boat party,
yes we were slightly scammed into that one! It was such a breath of fresh air
to get away to another country, have no responsibilities and just relax as much
as we wanted. Living at different universities makes it difficult to see each other
as much so every moment of the holiday was treasured, even when I was being
thrown off the inflatable donut.
~ Lastly, I went to Community Festival in Finsbury Park at the
start of the month. Officially my favourite day of the year, the sun was
shining, there were amazing bands playing and the company topped it off. I was
able to see some bands I’ve followed for years now including You Me At Six,
Circa Waves and Two Door Cinema Club, I was left with a smile on my face all
day and quite a bit of alcohol spilt over me from standing in the crowds. In
all honesty, you could go to this festival knowing two out of the how ever many
bands, because the experience and atmosphere of it all is just as thrilling as
my boyfriend has found these past two years. Another prosecco filled day down
and I await the same again next year!
So there we have it, a quick catch up as to where I’ve been
and why I’ve been so incredibly MIA! However, I have been planning a placement
V study abroad post but I don’t want to write it until I have all the perfect
information!! Keep your eyes out for more blogs coming your way with all my
free time!
Until next time,
Shannon xx
