My college experience so far!

Almost every weekday morning, I get so frustrated because I can never seem to find anything to wear! I turn my room and my sister's into a bombsite trying to find something that looks good but doesn't look like I've tried too hard! 

So I've been at college for 5 weeks now. TIME FLIES! It's crazy how this time last year I was applying to get a place at my college and now I've spent over a month there.   
I thought I'd just let you know how it's going because I know that you know that I know that you're dying to know.

Ordinarily, I start at 8:50am and finish at 4pm  which is a l o n g day but there's not really much I can do about it.

I chose to study Psychology, English literature, Law and Applied Business. In the first week of being at college, I changed my mind about each of the subjects but now I'm liking them all and prepared to put in the hard work but sometimes I can't handle the 2 hour double lessons and I always seem to fall asleep in them!

 Applied Business is my favourite subject so far because I really like the people in the lesson, the teacher and it's just very comfortable as we basically use computers every lessons so it's more of a relaxed environment compared to my other classes.
I'm having a great time and enjoying the experience of a new environment a lot!

I'm very thankful for the amazing friends I already have because I don't think I'd laugh as much as I do if not for them, and I've already had some great memories with them after just 5 weeks.

OBVIOUSLY, college is about the work but y'know sometimes, you need a bit of eyecandy to keep you going..
So there's this guy I saw in the first week and when I saw him, everyone else disappeared and we began singing "We're soaring, flying..There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach"in my head 

Anyone else love High School Musical 1, 2 AND 3? No? Just me...? 

I'm so glad he's not in my lessons though because it's not my portion to fail my subjects!
And yes, I was very tempted to sing "HEY I JUST MET YOU! AND THIS IS CRAZY"..but I didn't.

One thing I am doing that I never really did when I was in lower education is revising as I go along because I really don't want to fall behind and January exams are not that far away!

There's not really much else to say for now.

Thank you for reading!

Songs/Videos of the week!

Chris Brown - Don't Judge Me

He sounds like he's not even trying in this song! So amazing. 

DVK beatbox Freestyle (extended version)

A friend of mine who has outstanding talent! Check him out :) 

Brandy - Put it down Choreo

Niella - All I have to give (Cover)

This girl is just WOW! I've listened to quite a few covers of this song and she just sings in a way that so different and unique! 

Labrinth ft Emeli Sande - Beneath your beautiful

I don't think Labrinth can help being so amazing! As soon as I heard this, I was lost in the music and Emeli Sande's doing her thing as well! I love the meaning behind the song, just totally amazing. 

Thanks for reading!

Simple maths, it all adds up!

I've never really seen myself as a "dumb" person.

Growing up, I've been known as the girl who loves maths & I do. However about a month ago, I received my GCSE results and I got a C in maths. Now I'm not saying this is a bad grade but I'm saying that I could/should have done better than a pass.

As a result of getting a C in maths, I can't study it at A level. To be honest, I thought my life had ended when I looked at the piece of paper with my results on. I felt like that piece of paper defined my life.

Two people close to me told me they were disappointed. They were disappointed because they know I could have done better. I've found that, you do need people who don't always tell you "It's okay" but people who'll tell you like it is to make you see things differently.

Obviously, it's not a great feeling when you feel like you've let everyone down which is why I'm glad I have the most amazing friends and parents who are there to encourage me and pick me up when I feel down! I felt like because I can't do maths for A level my life was over but it's really not. DUH.

 My life doesn't end here!
There are still so many other things I can focus on, especially the other subjects I'll be studying and of course, this blog. Truthfully, some aspects of maths I was doing at GCSE was hard for me, and maybe me getting a C is a blessing in disguise because maybe, just maybe I wouldn't have excelled in maths at A Level. I mean, just because I take it for A Level doesn't mean I'd have done well in it.

I was devastated when I didn't do as well as I thought I would but it's made me want to work harder at A Level. I want to do my friends and family proud. At the moment, I am still embarrassed to tell people my grade but I don't want to feel the same way in two years time so I gotta work hard!

 I have to subtract fear, add hard word, multipy my faith in God and  divide my social life in half and forget about SOHCAHTOA. See what I did there? ;)

The fact of the matter is if you think you can do it then you most probably can. Don't let people bring you down.  

Also, be careful who surround yourself with, if you associate yourself with people who don't dream big, who don't want to achieve anything in life then that's what your mindset will be like.

Aim high!

One Event, 6 dresses.

Hellooo, so last week Saturday I attended a Nigerian party. 'Attended' sounds like I went, and sat down and chilled but as a Nigerian girl, I had to help but I didn't have a choice mind. However just because my friends and I were helping, it didn't stop us getting glammed up in our own individual way. ;) 

Ebony

Shoes - New Look

Dress - Ark, Hearts & Bows HERE

Earrings - Can't remember

You can't see it very clearly here but mid way through the dress, there's a see though lace bit. This is such an elegant way to show off skin without actually showing off too much skin. Absolutely Stunning!

Anjola

Dress - Specially made

Earrings - Primark

Shoes - New look

This is Nigerian attire and although attire is usually associated  with the older generation, it's great to put a spin on things and modernize it and she looked great!

Gracie

Grace looked beautiful at the party! The colour of her dress is burnt orange in case it's not clear. Look at her never ending slender legs!

I love the way her hair compliments her dress and that grin is her best accessory! She just looks great, effortlessly!

 Burgundy, wine and berry are the most situated colours for fall so Naomi is right on trend.  How stunning does she look? Like a super model right? Nuff said.

Dress - Asos HERE

Earrings - Dorothy Perkins
Shoes - New look

And Tosin, wow what can I say! JKS
This is again one of my Midi buys from Asos. Theses kind of dresses are a favourite of mine as I don't have to show off too much but it still doesn't mask my figure. Although, I took them off an hour into the party, I wore these shoes as they're the most comfortable heels I have.
Is my arm seriously this long?!

I love the way we all wore different styles, prints, lengths and material of dresses but we still looked good!

Much love for these girls & I hope you have friends in your life that bring you as much joy as these girls bring into mine! 

Thanks for reading!
