It has come to
that time of the year, where we say good bye to the delights/horrors that they
year has thrown at us and open ourselves up to a brand new year.
Back in 2014 I
did a yearly round up on my blog, where I talked about blog success, personal
life and genuinely how my year went. I feel like with how much I share on
social media, there is definitely a lack of personal life throughout and
although you may all know what my favourite red lipstick shade is, chances are
you do not know my boyfriend’s name.
This year has
been a bit of a corker for me, so I thought I would write it down on my
website. In years to come I will look back on this and think, crikey, I forgot
about that! Or future employers will find it and learn loads about my personal
life… ANYHOW lets go.
January –
An amazing
thing that I got to do in January was travel to Budapest, Hungary, with my
boyfriend George. It was our first trip together, and already feels like well
over a year ago. Baring in mind the temperature was around -10 degrees,
exploring the ruined bars, thermal baths (always with a hot chocolate on hand)
was incredible, and I could not have asked for someone better to spend this
trip with.
In January I
took control over the forming of a music magazine at my university. It has been
amazing to create a team of like minded human beings, create events,
have a functioning online magazine and generally make new friends. It has
taught me more about the music industry as it goes on, people management and how to make something grow from nothing.
Other than
that, I was back in London with a bang. Refreshers… happened and I spent
valuable time with the ones I adore in London.
February –
On a real note, a dropped a lot of weight off in February, it tends to be the case after Christmas when I get back into Pole Fitness and attending the gym that this happens.
I attended a very cool art gallery with some of my best mates, which created a joyous amount of Instagram content. I even sang in a pub with my dad one evening!
One of the last things I did in February was venture up to Newcastle to celebrate one of my best friend Julia’s birthday. I absolutely love visiting Newcastle, and although I am not use to not wearing a jacket on a night out, or the amount of alcohol consumed in the north, I always have a cracking time with amazing company.
March –
In march I had my wonderful quirky and frankly much cooler than me cousin Rhos visit, which was delightful. |
It was also
George’s 21st birthday which was super enjoyable to celebrate in
London and his home town in Oakham, Rutland.
I also managed
to surprise one of my best friend’s Abby up in Newcastle for her birthday, if I
can import the video I will because frankly it was adorable.
April –
Apart from all
that a very exciting thing that happened in April - I got a job! Huzzar! I
was on the beach in Norfolk and after 3 interviews they rang me to give me the
good news. This is how happy I was about it (taken on the same day for thisblogpost).
May –
In may I had
started my training at my new job, the weather had also started to get a bit
warmer which meant more exploring in London! It was not a particularly active
month of my life, as I was working 38 hours a week for the month.
June –
June came along
and BANG, we were hit with politics month. I am going to try not to sugar coat
this and say; I was pretty devastated. As we have a cardboard cut out of Jerome
Corbyn in our house/now flat… I will let you take that how you like.
This month brought Emily (George’s Sister) and Chris’ wedding. It was such a pleasure to get to see Eddie, Will and George walk Emily down the aisle and I would be lying if I said it was not extremely emotional. A beautiful wedding for two beautiful humans! Very happy for you both.

As well as
this, In June, I TURNED 21!!!!!! I know. Old right. I mainly celebrated at home
in Norfolk, with a gorgeous meal at the rooftop gardens in Norwich with my
family and George, a meal with friends at Zizi’s, and a spa day with my
wonderful mum and two of my best friends.
July –
IN JULY A RAN
AWAY TO SPLIT IN CROATIA FOR A WEEK WITH LUISA ABBY AND JULIA AND IT WAS
INCREDIBLE.
We took copious
amounts of pictures, enjoyed the sunshine amazing food and drinks and generally
un-winded. The highlight of the holiday for me was the KRKA waterfalls and the
beautiful sunset cruise.
I also visited
the Tate Modern in July with some of my main London gal pals. As well as
celebrating Luisa’s 21st birthday in Norwich with loads of my best
friends!
August –
PRIDE! One of
my highlights of my whole year, getting to attend Pride in Brighton with my
friend Ellie and stay at my cousin Rhos’ was so much fun! I cannot explain how
amazing it is to be in a city full of people who are completely accepting,
embracing new and different, well apart from hearing someone saying bisexuality
does not exist – but that’s just bi-erasure for ya.
As well as this
we also had a lovely family weekend with Dad’s side of the family, It was so
nice for George to get to meet them. The weekend contained Norfolk walks,
barbeque's, sunshine, sing a longs and general family fun.
In August we
moved into our new flat, a down stairs but still spacious room wise all the
same! Although it has had its issues… without going into too much detail, I
love living in a better location in Ealing and the flat dynamic is so much
better.
September –
This month was
a bit up and down. It had a really bad moment which I won’t delve into for
personal reasons, but unfortunately someone died.
I think the
best way to talk about this month is to talk about the good things that
happened. Me and George ventured to Palma Mallorca, and had such a relaxing
holiday in a 4* hotel. It was lovely.
October –
Pole fitness
started up again in October and it is something I have thoroughly enjoyed
throughout 2017, I would recommend it to anyone.
Also I got to
see my BAE perform (Gabrielle Aplin) at the ULU London which was just insane.
She’s got the most beautiful voice ever, check this playlist
THIS IS ALSO
THE MONTH I ACCIDENTALLY WENT DARK RED AND THEN GINGER. But we’re not gonna
talk about that. Ha. (Video)
November –
Honestly this
month was quite university heavy. With a lot of essays/reports to do, meetings,
plans for the university magazine. It took up a lot of my time. Some highlights
I have from this month are seeing Ady Suleiman at the Jazz Café Camden,
attending the Long Way Home Agency Launch & Sun arcana gig.
Although my
favourite has to be my 2 years with G. J
December - THE MONTH OF CHRISTMAS.
Reality: Uni
Work, Work, Driving back and forward from London because of my job.
I did get my
hair dyed into a balayage and attend a really good circus in Great Yarmouth at
the hippodrome (no animals), but other than that… it was Christmas!
I’m not sure
what 2018 is going to bring me, I hope it is a year full of success.
Lots of love,
I love all the photos of you travelling and having fun with your fabulous friends! You obviously have many wonderful memories from this last year to cherish. Wishing you a very happy and successful year 2018 and many more wonderful years to come!
