My Week & Back To School Horror

Hey Everyone!

Another week has come and gone, with it more exciting memories, procrastinating and sobbing over going back to school. Fun times. I need to chat to all you lovely readers about back to school and how it complicates my blog. First however I'm going to tell you about my week!

So it was my second last week of my summer job this week, I came home everyday with increasing pains in my legs! Ouch! So I rested after work most of this week, little or no socialising unfortunately. However, I treated myself to a limited edition Orla Kiely travel mug! Orla Kiely is an amazing Irish clothes designer, Kate Middleton and her Mum Carole, are very fond of her designs and have worn her outfits on several occasions. Once I heard she was releasing limited edition travel mugs I literally screamed with excitement. I have used mine a couple of times already (I was drinking hot chocolate from it earlier today editing my YouTube video for this week, the weather was miserable)

Leaving Cert results also came out in Ireland this week, so a huge well done to everyone who received their results, in particular my cousin Barry, you did brilliantly. A lad from my school also achieved the highest result  in the country! (9 A1's!) Once again congratulations Mark, best of luck in the future.

Again, on the subject of school, I'm starting Fifth Year on August 28th. What does mean to my blog and YouTube? Sadly, an awful lot. Fifth Year is the start of the Leaving Cert cycle so it will be hard work and study for me as I want to achieve the best possible results. The impact is that I will be blogging less as I will most likely be using my spare time for work and study sadly. I really don't want to reduce my blogging/YouTube time and presence, I don't want it to be this way, but I have to.

I want to achieve what I've dreamt and craved for, and that means I have to work hard in my school work. I will be popping up hopefully every week checking in on all of you, I'm just not guaranteeing it which really, honestly deeply saddens me. I've grown to love blogging to all of you all over the summer. It's amazing to think people all over the world are reading what I'm typing in my room in Ireland.

I felt I needed to tell you all in advance, also, I'm going to try finish the blogging challenge before I go back to school and also do some revision and my summer job in between. Fun times.

Day 3! What People Misunderstand The Most About Me..

So to start with, I'm so sorry  I haven't been blogging!! :( I was working practically all week and simply didn't have enough time to blog about anything! I'm in my cousins house at the moment using his iPad, which is pretty savage I must say. After this I'm going to m other cousins wedding so that will be fun. Ill try take as many photos of the evening part as possible and post them in my weekly post!                                                              

So as you can see, it's Day 3. What people misunderstand most about me. To be honest when I looked at the title this morning, my heart sank slightly. There's some elements of my life which I've kept quiet and yet, I've spoken openly about here on this blog. This is going to a deep topic, I just know it! As I type this I honestly have no idea what to write about.

In a way, there's so much people don't know about me, and in another, especially here, you know nearly too much about me. But, as I sit here listening to Kodaline and typing whatever comes into my mind, I realise, that STILL, the thing everyone misunderstands about me the most is why I can be honest and open with people I barely know, I'm not sure what it is, but I able to open up to people I know only very slightly for some reason.

It really is a serious flaw (among many, many I possess) I have, so much so, for a while I simply stopped talking to new people. in case I said too much and freaked people out with my honesty, something I really don't want to do as I actually like people occasionally!

This flaw revealed itself yet again only a few days ago, which made me realise its a huge flaw I possess. I can't really go into details with this one particular incident, as it is somewhat personal and also slightly relates to the workplace, sorry!

However it also brings me onto the honesty I convey on this blog, there are people from America, Russia, Australia, China, UK, everywhere! Reading this blog and probably know more about me, a small town girl  in Ireland and you all probably know more about me than most of my peers in school! Is that a little crazy? ;) Possibly.

See what I mean? My honesty is my weakness in many ways, and is definitely the most misunderstanding I receive from others. People think I am a dramatic, attention seeking person when, to be honest, (oh the irony) I'm too honest!

So that's it for now, I'll be writing soon!
Stay Strong, Happy and Fearless,

Day 2! What Kind Of Person Attracts You!

Woo, it's Day 2! This one is a little more tricky than a Zodiac sign. I feel it's open to a lot of interpretation, there are possibly many types of attraction. ''What kind of person attracts you?''
1. Could it be what kind of person you like/fancy?
2 Could it be in social circles and your friends, what about them attracts you to be their friend? Like similiar interests etc.
 Just to be random, I'll write about both. It's not as though I have anything else to do... ;) (I'm actually typing this and watching a Gaelic Football match! My home county is playing in this one!)

What Kind of Person Attracts You: Part One.

What kind of person attracts me. Well, this is one is going to be difficult! I'm not going to lie, random things attract me about a person. I love watching Dan Howell (Danisnotonfire) on YouTube, his video's are just hilarious. They're so full of life and are just comical. I feel bad laughing at the many, many, many mistakes Dan has/had made in his life. The video's really cheer me up. What attracts me to him is his sarcasm, humour, accent (I don't know, I just love it) and of course HIS HAIR. I sound so shallow there it's not even funny.

It's the same with most other YouTubers I watch, AmazingPhil ~ I adore his innocence and how lovely he is in his video's.I'd comment on more YouTuber's but I watch nearly too many!

To avoid awkward conversations when I go back to school, I WONT comment on people who attract me in my own life. I know some people who know me read this, and it would be weird for them to find out via my blog about the lads who I like/fancy in school. (Please don't write any names in the comments!) Sorry to spoil that for you all, however I hope you all understand why I won't post any! (There are several names I would list if I could!) ;)

What Kind Of Person Attracts You: Part Two.

This part is about social circles and friends. Mainly about what attracts/entices you into being friends with certain people. Well, at least why I think it happens.

First of all, it's obviously similar interests, perhaps books, music and sport. I have a lot of friends from my badminton club, some are nearly 20 and some are 13! Big age difference but I'm still friends with all of them. So I met those friends through a similar interest I guess.

Another way to meet new friends is obviously through school. It's where most people meet their friends. Last year as some of you may know, I was in TY or Transition Year, it was mainly a ''gap'' year as such before Leaving Cert. So I made lots of new friends through things I did during TY. I was thinking about it recently, how my social circle of friends is COMPLETELY different to one I was in after Third Year. I have more in common with my friends now and we are all of a similar mindset which attracted us all to being friends.

So that was a very random blog post about attraction!

Stay Strong, Happy and Fearless,

Day #1 of the 20 Day Blog Challenge!

So I was looking through my updates and found that Pamela (Pam The Mad) is doing a 20 day blog challenge and wanted others to join her, so here I am!

As you can see by the title, today (well tonight) is Day 1! My Zodiac sign and if I think it fits my personality. Well, do I? First of all, I was born in late September so I'm a Libra. I do read my horoscopes occasionally and find them to somewhat accurate at times.  

I found this website and it describes me VERY well. http://www.astrology-online.com/libra.htm 

I can be quite indecisive and changeable at times. I despite cruelty towards others, even if they supposedly ''deserve it'' I don't like seeing anyone in pain. I want everyone to be happy. I HATE being criticised, it's one of the worst feelings. I feel as though someone is nearly attacking a piece of my soul and I'll probably remember the criticism for a while!

SOme Libran's are lazy, some are ambitious. To be honest I can be both when I want to be. At times I can be so lazy I don't want to move an inch away from the book I'm reading or from my laptop. Other days I want to take over the world (not in a dictatorship way!) or some days I get this intense feeling that I should clean my entire bedroom NOW. What's even more surprising is that I actually clean my room. (Same happens with work or study, but I'm on my summer holidays so it's just cleaning my room) 

I have a HUGE sense of justice. I did consider a future in Law, but I decided against it. If I don't want to be a primary school teacher (for whatever reason) my second option will be either business or law. I have aptitude for both. So yes, I hate seeing injustice in the world and believe everything should be equal and just. It's the way I am. 

I saw this on the website, Problems that arise for Libra's. Let's see if it's true!

Problem:   Finding yourself frequently trapped in situations that have no depth and little value to you or the other person.

Yes, I was in a lot of these situations in the last year or so. This seems to happen me at every single turn! 

Problem:  You find that you do not really like yourself and/or beating yourself up over not being able to please another.

This is too true again. I don't like myself to be honest (no hate please, I give myself enough of it as it is!) I always hate not being able to make others happy. If I can't make others happy, I won't be happy. Simple as with me. 

Problem:  Feeling like you are nothing: your actions being frustrating to others.

The story of my life! This is basically my second nature reaction/thought. I always feel as though I'm annoying someone and that I'm inferior to some people. It's annoying but I'm trying to be more positive in my daily life. This again, is scarily accurate!

So yes, according to that website, my zodiac sign, Libra, is quite fitting for me! I guess I'm a true Libra! I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not! :) 

What are your zodiac signs and do they suit you? 

Stay Strong, Happy and Fearless,

Aveen xx
