Take chances!

Despite being only 18 I think I have done some pretty cool things in my life. I've experienced a few things that I wish I could do again. I can say having these experiences changes you for the better. They make you a more confident and stronger person and this is coming from someone who used to be really shy but now I look back and think how could I actually be that shy. However, I'm the sort of person that seems quiet first but becomes loud after.

Anyway, the first thing I did was complete the silver DofE award. I really wanted to do the bronze but none of my friends seemed to want to do it however, when I was in year 11 I had decided I would the silver award no matter what and so, I did it and it was one of the best and hardest experiences of my life. During the three days I did regret doing it as it was very hard and challenging but there wasn't much I could do. Its not like I could turn back and say I wanted to go home. Despite the fact of really regretting doing the expedition, can I say it still was one of the best three days of my life. It literally was one of the the best experiences ever. Some highlights include one of my friends getting stuck in mud whilst the other tried to pull her out but ended up getting stuck herself. In this situation she nearly lost her shoe and I seriously could not stop laughing but there was a teacher who came to the rescue. After falling several times because of the blimming weight on my back we finally decided we were lost and this was after walking for at least three hours in the wrong direction and this was whilst we were with the teacher. So from this I'm sure you'll figure out that the teacher didn't really know how to read the map.

I was extremely happy when it was the third day as it meant that we would be going home but we still had to walk for several hours to get to the station. During one point we were walking past some horses and my friend decided she wanted to drop her glove and not realise. By the time she noticed she was missing a glove a horse was eating it, and at that point I literally could not stop laughing at all. Our whole group burst out laughing, it was just that funny. Nearing the end I really didn't want the expedition to be over. The experience as a whole was amazing. The views, the people, the atmosphere you don't really get to see these things when living in a busy city like London. The only thing I was waiting for was being able to go home have a nice warm shower and just get into bed and can I say that was the most amazing feeling when you've been sleeping on the cold hard floor in a tent for the last two days.


So this is just one of my stories hope you enjoyed reading it.

This recipe I have to say I love. I made these cookies for the first time and they turned out perfectly and me baking something for the first time perfectly, let's just say doesn't happen often. Anyway once again this is a recipe from the one and only Tanya Burr. I recently purchased her book, and yes I know I'm late but I didn't want to buy any books until I finished my exams, so yeah this recipe is from this book.  So let's get started~ You will need: 300g caster sugar  200g butter 325g self raising flour 200g milk chocolate 200g white chocolate 1 egg Milk but this is optional  1) First pre-heat the oven at 200 degrees Celsius. 2) Mix the sugar and butter together until it has a creamy consistency. 3) Add the egg and mix. 4) Slowly add the flour so it mixes properly. 5) So if you think your mixture is to dry just add a dash of milk or if it's to sticky add a little flour  6) Then add in all the broken chocolate and role ...

Down Memory Lane

Hey guys, so today I thought I'd go down memory lane and just recall some of the best shows from my childhood. It's not like I'm that old now, I'm only 18. Anyways let's start, when I was in year 7, I remember watching these shows every Friday after school. I would finish at 1:30 and my friend and I would just sit there watching these shows one after the other. Some of these include Lizzie Mcguire and That's so Raven. They were literally my life I loved them soo much. I could sit there for hours and hours watching different episodes. Then came along shows like Zack an Cody, Wizards of Waverly Place, Hannah Montana plus many more. These were the best shows ever in my opinion and they were actually my life. I still remember getting upset when they ended. But I don't understand how we can form a bond with a TV show. Anyways, can I say these shows were amazing and Disney channel don't even have shows like these anymore.  That's it for this week...

EXAMS!!

Image
Okay, so exams are getting closer and day by day I'm getting more and more stressed. There are literally only two months left till my exams start and I think I'm starting to go crazy. Time is going by soo fast and it frustrates me. The exams I'm sitting are some of the most important exams I will ever sit and can I say they are flipping hard. The jump between GCSE's and A-levels is massive and if you don't study you will fail. Trust me I'm speaking from experience and because of the lack of motivation I had I am now retaking some of my As exams. It's not really a great situation to be in as you have the stress from A2 exams as well as As and it's not a nice feeling. On top of that universities want a specific grade and if thats not achieved I actually don't know what I'm going to do. So if you're someone who's taking their GCSE'S or doing some other sort of exam please study hard. Before you know it your exams will be round the c...
