Love you guys!
A message to my 14 year old self.
Dear 14 year old me,
You are in upper school now, and soon will start getting ready for your GCSE's, lots of revision and lots of information being drilled into your brain. You have been given your predicted grades, they are fairly average, so you aren't feeling very motivated right now to push above the 'average' mark. I know what you are like, you will settle for those average predicted grades, and just accept that's it so just give an 'average' amount of effort. I do wish you would put more effort in, although you will smash the crap out of those average grades, and do way better than your predicted grades... so i am pretty proud of you, just think what you could have got though. I know some subjects don't feel very important right now, but trust me it's so annoying having a few grades on that form that are below the others when you know you could have avoided it.
Idiots at school. Well this could be a whole post on its own really actually no it could be a whole blog on its own! So here is a little bit of advice....fuck them all. When you leave school, you never have to see them again.
Don't worry about loosing friends when you leave school, i know you don't care about leaving school as you aren't much of a fan and i know you will skip merrily out of those school gates with a big smile on your face! (this happens). In regards to friends though. Do not worry! You stay friends with your true friends, there's a lot of people you don't see all the time but when you see them its great...and you pretty much stay in contact with them all. So don't worry to much!
You think about staying at 6form! I am sooooooooo glad you don't. A teacher will give you some decent advise and thank god...you do take it and go to college. This is where you will have the best times ever.
Approaching college, and its interview/ audition, you are one nervous nora! Chill out, you do fine.
All the people there really help you out, and make you feel comfortable!
You worry about being on your own at college, you have your best friend going with you which makes things so much easier and then you end up making some of the best friends you could ever have, and are still friends with them now!
You do start to get pretty anxious and stressed out throughout college, you can't always handle the constant criticism and being put down along with the work load and nerves of performing. Please just be calm, the nerves just make everything worse and really hold you back and stop you from being the best you can be.
You have a lot of shit through college, but trust me the good times you have make up for it! So savor those times, because you are at your happiest during college.
Stop worrying about boyfriends. You want one i know you do, all your friends have boyfriends, except from tash and jose...you guys will spend a lot of 'single' meals together, and you love them. Who cares if you don't have a boyfriend? you have some crackin times with all your friends before you meet him, and then as soon as you stop looking for someone you will meet someone who is bloody fantastic. <3
See you soon,
Love 20 year old Beth.

Achieving Happiness.
I woke up this morning to some wonderful news. My boyfriend James has recently been creating a website with his friend Aaron, and after hours of working on the site it was put online today. It's done so well, its gaining so many hits, and people are really loving the idea. The website is so simple, all it involves is clicking on a button and then you are taken to a new artist on YouTube. All that time spent on looking for music to listen to, no need for that anymore. Just visit www.findmenewmusic.com and let the website do the rest for you.
I hope you enjoy the website as much as i do!
James is so excited and i am so proud of him, we both just feel really happy at the minute...and it got me thinking about happiness.
You don't have to do something big or crazy, or make massive changes. Something so tiny can blossom happiness.
Me personally, i feel that the sense of achievement makes me happy, and gives me a sense of calm weirdly, it could be going for that run that you promised yourself you would go on, or eating healthier that day, or writing that blog you wanted to do, or creating a website and it doing really well. (I really am very excited about this website). These little things, give me that feeling of 'well done beth'. Rather than waking up thinking 'urgh i need to do that', and then the next day 'urgh i still need to do that', and the next day 'yeah i still need to do that', until it gets to 'hmm, I'm not gonna do that'. Just do it. Set yourself some targets, achieve something everyday, even if its small. Today i want to go and do 60 lengths in my pool and finish this blog post! I know i am gonna feel good after, and not have things buzzing around my head later today.
Just try do something today you have been putting aside, or avoiding doing! I bet you will feel bloody fantastic after! Or try achieve a goal, something you have been wanting to do for ages but haven't had the guts to do it....Just one thing!
New blog layout.
I am overly excited right now. James has just made me a new blog, and taught me a few little tricks along the way. When i first started my blog i very nearly brought a blog template from a lady who makes them, don't get me wrong she makes gorgeous looking blog templates...but i am glad i got James to build it so i could choose exactly how i wanted it!
I can be angry.
We all get angry right? This is just me letting some steam off, i promise i'm not always this annoyed by everything. I think this is probably just me being a moody git but i will say it's me releasing bad energy in a healthy way...? Sounds much nicer.
I hope you enjoy.
Motivation.
I have just woken up. It's 7:00am. Why am I awake and not asleep? I'll sit up in bed looking on my phone for about an hour and I will think of all the things I am gonna do in a second like go for a run and apply for more jobs and tidy the house... But I'll just fall asleep lets face it! Predicting the future right here!
I know! I will give myself an hour (since 7:00am is crazy early) and then get up and crack on with my day!
What are you guys up to today?
3 hours and 30 minutes later......
I AM UP NOW ALRYT!
Yeah so I didn't get up at 8. But what matters is that I'm up now, just having a cuppa and then I'm going for my run!!
Healthy New Year
So remember how i was being very healthy?...
Well over Christmas and New Years my personal trainer went away....and apparently so did my will power to not eat crappy food.
I'll be honest...those two weeks were wonderful! But. There was a but! i felt so sluggish and was so gutted after those 2 weeks to think that i could have lost some weight. Its Christmas though...so technically nothing counts in those weeks.
I am back on track now :) I want to loose a 1kg a week for the next 6 weeks before i return to England! Fingers crossed <3
