Fueling My Film Addiction

So recently, I've been purchasing a lot of DVD's. I actually own an un-natural amount of films, and the majority of them, I've definitely seen at least ten times. I don't know what it is, but for some reason if I've seen a film in the cinema that I really enjoyed, I feel obliged to own it. Obviously so I can watch it another billion times, I never get tired! (Peeeeerfect example, I'm currently watching The Notebook, the second copy I have owned as someone borrowed my first and never returned it. RIP to the #1 copy you used to be). I have around 70 dvds with me in uni, and around another 30 at home. Basically a small film library!
I thought I would share with you some of my favorites from my DVD case.




1. My all time favourite. I'm not even going to get into how much I love Harry Potter. I think that deserves a whole blog post to itself!

2. This film surprised me. I will be honest and say I only went to see it in the cinema because it involved Ryan Gosling. I was captivated by it!

3. Come the fuck on Bridget! I quote this movie almost as much as the regular girl quotes Mean Girls. As I always say, Bridget Jones is the best friend at making you feel better about your own life!

4. Yes. It was bound to crop up in this list somewhere! I saw this film three times in the cinema. I had to go see it the second time just to try and get over it, it was on my mind constantly! The book, the film, Its a right heartbreaker!

5. Now for  a bit of cheese. Who doesn't love naughties Hilary Duff?! I was obsessed with this film when i was younger, and became adamant i was going to attend a music conservatoire. You literally cant get more cheesy.

6. Another classic. Ewan McGregor. Singing Come What May. Need I say more?!

7. I cant pinpoint what it is I love about this film, It genuinely is such a wonderfully made film, with a great moral behind it. 'You is kiiiiiind, you is smart, you is important' Oh and Emma Stone's hair is on point.

8. Shocker. I really love this film. That's about it.

9. This was an accidental find. It was randomly in my house, so I watched it and fell in love with the adorable story and happy ending. Ultimate chick flick!

10. Disney. If I listed all my favourite Disney films I would be here for quite a while! I'm a Disney girl through and through, and I doubt that will ever change.

I could go on for an eternity, but I will save you that, I think 10 is enough! Just a little insight into my favourite films!


Toodleoo Lovlies!

Wait, Who Are You Again?

I STILL EXIST!......... It has been over a year since I last wrote a blog post, which is horrifically bad, and for that i apologize! 

I started this blog when i was 18, with the idea that it would be a here and there kind of thing, where I post when I've got something interesting to say. Two, nearly three years on and it turns out that hasn't really been working out for me. I keep forgetting then remembering this exists and posting then forgetting and not really keeping up to date with this. 

Recently, what with doing my dissertation, I've started to vlog on YouTube and have really been trying to create a brand for myself across social media platforms. In my last post here, I talked about not knowing what direction I wanted to take after university. Well good news folks! I kind of think I want to go into social media management and public relations professionally. eeeep! I don't know if any of you will have noticed, but I've had a bit of a re-vamp, thanks to my lovely flatmate Lauren (there was a lot of frustration, YouTube banners are harder to make than they look!) but now all of my social media's have the same look, which makes me insanely happy. 

I feel like you need a little update on my life, so here goes! 

I'm now in my third year of university, don't even ask me where the time has gone! I've only got about four months left then I'm done. Capiche. It makes me want to do a little wee of scary excitedness. That is now a thing. 

I now live with four other girls, still in student halls. Because you know, I basically just want to pretend to be a fresher whilst I still can. I absolutely love my living situation at the moment. This is a massive thing for me, as my first year of university was, to be honest, a bit naff living wise. I didn't live with the nicest of people, and felt very unsafe a lot of the time. Second year got a bit better, but I still spent the majority of my time alone, in my room. making no noise.......and pretending I don't exist (10 points if you get the reference). The girls I live with have always been around, I lived with Sian first year, and I know Jessie from home and she lived with Kat and Loz first year, opposite me and Sian. Second year people just kind of went off and did their own thing, It took us a while to all come together basically. Our flat is just my favourite thing and I never ever want it to end. We keep bringing up the fact that we have to actually leave this flat, and then saying 'No no, Lets not talk about it!' 

(L-R) Kat, Me, Sian, Loz and Jessie

I dont know if I've ever mentioned it on here, but I still work at Deichmann Shoes. I've been there for a year and five months now (what? I mean, I'm totally not counting or anything). I'm not going to lie, it's not the best job in the world. Its retail. So basically it can be a nightmare the majority of the time. I just keep telling myself 'I'm working here to get out of here'. Its basically so I can fund myself to get through uni living. 

I don't really have a great deal more to say! life is good, finally. As much as I complain, (Prince Charming has got a bit lost I think) This has to be the best year of uni so far. I cannot wait for those precious few weeks at the end of uni, when we still have halls to live in, and spend our days lying on the grass in Bute park or hoping on the train on a little adventure. Its going to be great!

Toodleoo lovelies!
