Change

Hello, friends! (Or people who I like to 'stalk' on Facebook.)

The Autumn (or Fall for you crazy kids out of Europe) is rapidly approaching, and I feel like I am finally ready to move on to college. I don't know about you guys, but I'm moving away again to go to college. I'm practically leaving the nest! Most of my friends are either going to 6th form, or going to college in their area/ in commuting distance. Now, as cool as this sounds, I am absolutely BRICKING it.
When put into perspective, however, I realise that I have an amazing opportunity to pursue a career in music, meet funky people and abuse the recording studio privilege I will have. This is a change I am fully welcoming in my life, even though I am frightened.

Most teens are going through this ordeal right now, and I fully sympathise with you all. Remember that change is a good thing, as long as it makes you happy in the long run.

Now, change is happening to everybody. Whether it is buying a different brand of cheese, a family member being brought into the world or your house falling down, it happens. Instead of dwelling on this change, you have two options; CHANGE IT or EMBRACE IT.

EXAMPLE-
You've just received a phone call, a friend is moving away.
CHANGE IT- If you really disagree with this situation, express your concerns to this friend. Tell them why you think that they shouldn't move away or another option.
EMBRACE IT- Let the friend know that you fully support their decision and help them in any way possible.

I'm more of an embracer to be honest. Things happen.

Have a great week, guys, and I'll catch up with you later.

Shroedinger's GCSE results

So, the most wonderful time of the year has arrived...

RESULTS DAY!

Now, I was completely dreading results day, as most teens were. I wasn't worrying about my grade. I was afraid of just knowing what it was! I know this seems confusing, but bear with me.
With my results, I applied the knowledge of 'Schroedinger's Cat'. Without knowing what I scored, my results were either good or bad, but not determined. Such as the cat in the experiment, my pass to college was either alive or dead.

Thankfully, I got some pretty good grades, considering I missed a lot of schooling. I'm not too worried about my maths being a pass, as employers are usually not bothered. I'm just so happy that I get to go to college and do the career that I have dreamed about for ages. That's why I'm not discontent with my lower graded, as they still allow me to do what I want. I still get to go to college and dream about being on stage with my idols.

Don't be upset with your grades. As long as you did your best, that's all that matters!
Enjoy these last few weeks before you have to go back to college/school.

The important things in life.

Ever since I have finished school and have been on my holidays, I never feel productive if I spend the day at home. I feel like I should be doing more and that I just waste my time. In some respects, it would certainly look like that! What I need to remember, however, is that not every day has to be action packed. I hate feeling like this, but then, who enjoys it?

Every day in which you wake up is dictated and moulded by every simple action that you proceed to do. Right?
Right.
In a more straightforward sentence, you create the day. Your decisions are what controls how you feel at the end of a day. Even better, your decisions of that day can control how you feel in the next day. Or the next week. Or even the next year! Great, huh?
Well, maybe not always.

This doesn't mean that it's the end of the world, though. You don't have to spend every waking moment, scared that you will do something wrong which will possibly change your future for the worse. People do things on impulse and reflex most of the time! Or, should I say, our brain does it. Your brain has evolved to basically protect you from the most basic things. The oven's hot? PULL AWAY! Fly? SWAT THAT BASTARD! You fall? ARMS, TAKE THE FALL! Our brain is extremely clever. It's evolved for the little moments in which we need it for the things that we cannot process to do. That does not mean that you should abuse it or not use it correctly. Stay hydrated, stay social, do puzzles. READ! Brain's love that shit. Believe me.

{You're probably thinking, 'Why is this all relevant?'. No, what you're actually thinking is, 'What the hell is this freak on about?!'. It's okay, I'm used to it. Maybe it's all the Meow Chat and game requests that have slowly turned me -more- insane. But don't worry, stay with me. This all ties into a neat little bow in which you will all think I'm some God like creature who has abused her right of owning a laptop and internet access.}

What I'm asking you, no, what I'm TELLING you, is that you need to do things for you. The you in the present. The you who wants to live a long, happy future. The you who wants that last damn slice of cake. Don't WORRY about the people of NOW; They could be temporary. If they want to be permanent, they'll be the one's stuffing the piece of cake in your face.
Say YES to the roller-coaster.
Say YES to evenings of popcorn and movies with friends, even though you're up early tomorrow.
Say YES to making yourself happy.
If you don't do what's good for you now, you could pay for it. I know I said don't worry about every action, but take each day and summarise it. Consciously add things into your day that you will BENEFIT from. An extra glass of water, some time with your family, a coffee by yourself and a book.

Live life a day at a time. Live in the moment. Live.
Just existing isn't an option.
