Been away a while.

Hi!

As you've probably noticed I've been away from blogging for quite a while. I had to take a break as I just had a huge amount of university work, filming, editing, pitching, building sets, travelling! Also, at the weekends i've been busy at work, I decided to take a break until I was able to get my work into flow and work out how to balance university work, a job, a social life and my blog! I've finally made a plan therefore... i'm back! 


Where have I been? 

Follow me on Instagram ! I post pretty much everyday of what I'm up to / where I am. Take a look at my Twitter too.

In November I had the opportunity to go to Amsterdam for the IDFA (International Documentary Film festival Amsterdam) the documentaries I watched were incredible and Amsterdam itself was a beautiful place.

Just a few snippets from Amsterdam! Let me know if you'd like a full post on the trip!

So that's it really, sorry for being away for so long but now I shall be back to blogging every week (hopefully more than once a week)

Bye for now!

Looking back.

Hi! 

First of all I'm sorry i've been away and not been blogging for the past couple of weeks, my Gran passed away so i've been spending time with my family and close friends.

I wanted to do a post on looking back at some of my favourite memories from the past year or so.

1. The last film I worked on (I was sound designer) in my first year at university being accepted into a film festival.

2. Going to the Harry Potter studios (last year) as a present for getting into university.

3. Going to Berlin film festival and spending three days in Berlin being tourist-y, having a laugh and drinking HUGE beers!

4. Meeting the most wonderful boyfriend. 

5. When my best friends in the entire world came to visit me at university.

It's good to look back on your favourite memories of years gone by. 

What are some of yours? 

I should be blogging more often now, although there will be a slight pause whilst i'm moving into my new house at uni!

Bye for now! x

How to survive the first year of university.

As I said in my last post I have recently finished my first year of university so I thought I would give five useful tips on how to survive the first year university!

1) MONEY! There may seem to be a lot of freedom at university with money but it's SO important to remember to save money. Having a student loan may seem amazing but it's scary how easy it is to loose track of spending, so remember to not go wild with it in the first few weeks at uni. (A hint to save on alcohol, split bottles of spirits with your flatmates and use juice rather than expensive fizzy drinks for mixers!)

2) If you're moving into halls, keep your door wide open on moving in day. It's such an easy way to meet your flatmates and make some friends on your first day. Don't isolate yourself in your room otherwise you may find yourself missing out of some pretty good opportunities to meet people. Also, go to as many freshers events as possible, it's such an easy way to meet people (plus the drinks are VERY cheap!)

3) Don't forget about your family and friends back at home. Once you're settled into university and have made friends/friendship groups its easy to forget about home, so don't forget about your loved ones, give them a call!

4) Don't skip lectures. It may seem easy to do this because its not like in school where teachers chase you up, if you don't attend there's no catch up and your lecturer will not stop to catch you up. Also don't leave work until last minute, keep on top of everything to avoid stress and worries.

5) ENJOY IT! My first year of university was such an amazing experience and I have met so many amazing people and made some of the best friends I could ever hope for (I also met my boyfriend, hehe) so just enjoy it. Don't stress out too much and have an amazing time!

I hope this is useful to anyone that's starting their first year of university!

Thanks for reading and if there's anything else you'd like to know comment, or if you're like me and have also just finished your first year comment what you think is important in your first year!

Bye for now! :)
