First Day At College

As like most people i started back to college on Monday. 

However, after my first year of A levels didn't go exactly to plan i decided it was time for a change. I moved from my local 6th form to college. 
It was a big decision to move to college although i was able to continue my second year and pick up a new AS, the thought of having to go into a year were everyone had already made friends and i only knew 2 people in my year group that had gone to college the year before. 

As the first day came closer and closer i got even more nervous. I had a number of bad thoughts going through my head. "what if i don't make any new friends" or "what if i have to sit on my own and people will laugh at me". 
The night before, i'm not going to lie i had hardly any sleep, which i am sure happens to most people in the same situation when starting a new school and it is not the ideal thing to do either. 

In the morning i made sure i had everything i needed and my mum dropped me off at college. 

As i walked in there were a number of people giving directions and showing people where they should be. That's when i realised that i wasn't the only new person who didn't know anyone, most people where in the same boat. 

After being shown where to go i saw someone who i recognised, one of the girls who had moved up the year before and she introduced me to a lot of her friends and before i knew it i was having conversation with people i had never met. 

I then got my timetable and people are so helpful telling you where to go. I was to busy worrying about what could go wrong i didn't think of the positives. 

So to people who maybe are starting a new school,college or transferring like me just remember its normal to be nervous but there is probably lots of other people who are feeling exactly the same. Just be yourself and be confident enough to talk to people who you are sat next to in your lesson even if it's just a hello and it will all be fine.

My 17th Birthday :)

On the 31st August it was my birthday.

I had a relaxing morning, just stayed in my PJ's and opened some of my cards. When my dad came home from work it was time for presents... Exciting !!!! 

After opening all my presents me and my mum went food shopping since we had no food in the house haha, but this was a good thing because while i was out my sister was baking my birthday cake. 

Later on, my family arrived and i got even more presents (feeling very spoiled) and finally got to eat my delicious birthday cake. 

The treats didn't stop there... me,my mum,my dad and my sister all went out to Frankie and Benny's. The meal was so nice and extremely filling. 

Here is a photo of my birthday cake... 
This is a marble cake shaped like a gingerbread man ... so cute !!!! :)

Thank you for a lovely birthday xxx
