''She Ran Away To Chase Her Dreams, And They Said She Wouldn't Make It Far.''

Hey Everyone!

As you may know, it's been nearly two weeks since I last posted here. I genuinely do have reason(s) for this, however the main one is just Sixth Year/Leaving Cert. I always knew it was going to be a gruelling and difficult year, especially when you choose to do all Honours subjects.

Most nights now consist of going home from school, starting my homework, dinner, back to homework and study, sleep and repeat. There have been days where I haven't touched my laptop and just check some notifications in the morning on my phone running out the door.

I've also developed a wonderful coffee addiction. I was expecting this to happen, after all when you study/do homework for 4+ hours each night, you do need a nice dose of caffeine. So now each morning begins with dragging myself to get a cup of coffee (2 shots) which still doesn't quite make me feel awake for some reason.

I do occasionally leave my bedroom by the way, last Sunday I travelled to Limerick city.
My brother goes to the University there and I plan hopefully to study in another college in the city too. We visited UL and Mary Immaculate College, for primary teaching. (Bonus points if you figured out what I want to do!)  As my brother has attended the Uni for a number of years, we've made frequent trips to Limerick (despite taking over 3 hours to get there!)

While we visited, the 'Granny' was also there. The streets were absolutely covered in confetti and as the All-Ireland hurling final was that day, there was a lot of Tipperary jerseys (#TippToWinTheReplay #AnyoneButKilkenny) We also went to one of my favourite places, Penneys! I'll have a Autumn Haul pretty soon, so stay tuned for that!

The photos below are from my trip to Limerick, there was also meant to be a photo of a horse on the green grass area of a housing estate in Limerick which unfortunately didn't upload (probably because it's a stereotype of what Limerick is supposedly like)

Sorry for how brief this post is, I just wanted to write SOMETHING as soon as I could. I have two further blog posts for the next few days planned so check my Twitter for updates! 

Stay Strong, Happy and Fearless!

PS, you know you are a Leaving Cert student when all the LC Meme's and accounts follow you on Twitter! How terrifying.

The Summer Tag!

Hey Everyone!

So I was tagged by the lovely Guilianna Marie to do the Summer Tag! Here goes!

1. What's your favourite thing about Summer?

I love the general freedom of Summer. You're allowed (within reason) to do whatever you want for three months. There's nobody telling you how to spend your time like in school, your time is for you and you get to choose exactly how you spend those precious hours of freedom. By watching seasons of multiple tv shows on Netflix like me  

2. Do you have a favourite Summer drink?

During Summer I love to get frappé's from Costa, particularly the sticky toffee one, it's amazing. Water also cannot be underestimated, when you're dying of the heat, a gulp of ice-cold water is one of the best feelings ever.

3. Is there a location you like to go each Summer?

Not particularly, during Summer in the evenings sometimes my family and I go to the local seaside area near my town and like every year we go to the same chipper and get a bag of chips and just look at the sea. It sounds so simple but it's so nice and relaxing and it's the funny thing we do each summer.

4. Favourite look for Summer?

As I have a summer job it generally doesn't matter about my appearance, I have to wear a different set of clothes in work so I'm VERY casual on most days, just wearing jeans, Converse, t shirts and a hoodie. However if I'm going anywhere I do dress up more!

5. Dresses or skirts?

Dresses all the way!

6. Sandals or ballet pumps?

I prefer ballet pumps, but I rarely wear them. I wear Converse most of the time, they're my favourites!

7. Do you prefer your hair up or down for Summer?

For work, my hair is up but everywhere else my hair is down and straightened within an inch of its life!

8. Deep smokey eyes or bold lips?

I really like deep smokey eyes so we'll go for that!

9. Favourite perfume for Summer?

It's a perfume my godmother got for me! It's an Armani perfume and smells amazing!

10. Last but not least, favourite music for Summer? 

Looong list but... The 1975, Arctic Monkeys, Imagine Dragons, Ed Sheeran, P!ATD, 5SOS, Birdy and lots more! 

Phew! Thanks for reading, hope you liked my answers!
