THE SELECTION BY KIERA CASS BOOK REVIEW

 RATE:★★★★
                                                                     Pages:336

I had read a couple of bad reviews about this book and I enjoyed it a lot and because of other things in my life now it was refreshing to find a book that I enjoyed so much. It was easy to pick up and get into and such a great distraction whereby you forget about the world around you. I would defiantly recommend this book. 

It's basically about a dystopian world where people are grouped in different castes and the main girl is in the 5th caste and that means shes an entertainer and their not rich but working class. She has a secret boyfriend who is in a lower class. 

She enters the selection which is like the bachelor and the 35 girls fight for the love of the prince and thats all im going to say. 

American single, the main girl I personally like her, I don't love her but I can somewhat relate to her which is good. I love Maxon the prince and I want her to love him aswell because he is just soooo sweat....
Aspen like can go and sit in a corner somewhere. 

The book in my opinion is written in a light easy to read way and to my surprise I found myself laughing and shocked with little things which I enjoyed.

Would I recommend this?? Yessss

Fault of our stars movie review

I have finally watched the film, I read the book and loved it because of the way it was writen the author is a genius just to put it plainly but I was reluctant to watch this because I thought it would be ruined.

Firstly, I loved the actors that were chosen they were perfect for the role. I loved the person who played Gus in the film and wittiness of the book was definitely not lost in the film and it was like my imagination had been brought to life and with so many good and sad feeling that made this film film great.

I would watch it over and over again, a huge comparison to the romance in the the notebook but if you are thinking its a sad film then think again because it really cheered me up.

Definitely recommend this film.

Life: Purpose, failures, regrets and future worries

Im feeling lost and down. For the past couple of weeks I have been trying to learn about designing websites and learning html and css and I actually designed a site from a tutorial but I couldn't do anything with the html design because I couldn't turn it into a word press theme or a blogger or even a live html site so I was or I should say I am stuck. I don't even know why I wanted to learn to design websites. I just think I have always wanted to design websites and I just don't want to give up on it but I guess I was trying to rush it and maybe it's not for me or am I wasting my time. I don't know. I just want to finish and learn this.

Today I tried to make a website for book blogging and all the templates that I got were just horrible in the sense of the widgets and there being something wrong all the time. And then I remembered I still have this beautiful site that I have had for years. And im guessing I have zero followers and if im lucky one person will read this but im actually fine with this because I just think of Jenna from Awkward and her online diary and in a weird way this is my online diary and I can write a lot of rubbish on here because of that. In a great way its therapeutic and I always feel better after writing here.

Yesterday for the first time I felt a regret of leaving nursing because I was worried about getting a job after I graduate. I am going into my second year and it scares me that I will graduate and then nothing will happen. I haven't really had that much luck with jobs. I couldn't get a summer job so that's great.

Dead end job rejections and stop being scared!!!

So I checked my email today and I was very surprised that I got an email from lidl which read:

I applied for this job 3 or 4 weeks ago and I already knew I didn't have the job. But at least they wrote back to me I guess. I tried to get a job and that failed and I tried to volunteer and that failed as well. I'm just tired of trying and I am just going to enjoy my holiday and I know that it is more to do with the area I live.

I have been scared of doing something that I have wanted to do for a long time which is designing my own site about books, TV shows, and inspirational stuff and also learning to actually design websites in my mind I want to start by designing fan sites and if I get better improving by being able to do word press, blogger templates and so far it all seems new to me. But I have been dodging it and I think that is because I am scared and I don't really know what I am scared about. But I am just going to do this just because I want to and I have always wanted to do it.

I need to stop making stupid excuses.

The wrong knickers by Bryony Gordon book review

RATE:★★★★
Pages:310
Author: Bryony Gordon
Published: June 2014

I saw a story with the author talking about having a one night stand and at the end the guy giving her the wrong knickers. Like......
What kind of guy does that and I was interested so I got the book. From the beginning it is easy to read and get into and for a lot of authors that's very hard to do. We see the true story of a girl who makes mistakes, picks the wrong choices and has such a low self-esteem that she lets guys roll over her. I feel like even though I never did even half the things she did I can relate to her in mild sort of way especially now in my 20's and I will probably read this book again because there will be something new in my life that I can relate to her life story. It's like a book about how things might not go according to how society expects it to be, like uni, boyfriends, marriage, careers and family. Your path might be different from the norm but in some weird way in the end everything has a funny way of working itself out.

 It was a great read and it was even more amusing because it was a true story, even though I don't know her I am proud of her.

Wold I recommend this book? Yes yes yessss!

Music: The discovery of Adina Howard

I am in love with her music, to me it is like I am discovering a a completely new artist. She does sexy 90's smooth Rnb music and her voice is amazing. I don't really know what more I can say to be honest with you.
My favorite song at the moment by her is do you wanna ride?



But I also like tease, let's roll and so many more. What I love about YouTube and music is that there is always something new you can discover and enjoy. So that's what I am going to do.


Things I have learn't since finishing the first year of University.

I am half way through my summer holiday and I have completed and passed my first year of university and I a lot has happened in this past year that I never could have prepared myself for. It was really fun and I had my ups and downs and I think this year I cried about 3 or 4 times. Which is very rare for me but it happens and I am so glad that I get to experience the university life with some amazing people.

I got my results and the course I do is business management and accounting and finance and there were 6 modules and I got three 1st grades one for accounting, quantitative methods and entrepreneurship. I think I was really excited with the entrepreneurship because it was my first 1st basically. Accounting was my highest 1st though which I am really proud of.

Economics I didn't like that much but I forced myself to do it and I passed it, and overall I got a 2.1, which I am very happy about because I get to do the internship for the other half of my second year if I can get a placement basically. Which brings me to now where I am and I just want to say who would have thought it would be so hard to volunteer. Its so annoying that people who volunteer at British heart foundation are soo rude. Like why do you work in a charity yet you are so rude....like really.

I gave an application form to Oxfam got nothing back and other places I haven't heard anything and so I tried applying for jobs and I have to say that they are more opportunities now than before so maybe Cameron's policies are actually working. I still don't have a job though but I got a call today though and it gave me hope that with my degree I will be able to get a good job quite easily. If I want a decent job though I will probably have to improve on my searching skills.

I am so bored though, like its depressing just being at home I think the summer I worked at Randstad went by so quick because I had something to do and I know I should enjoy this time because hopefully for decades to come I am going to get only 28 days leave and I will work a lot and to some people that might be sad or whatever and I will probably complain when I get there but I can't wait to work and I know that accounting I will probably find it hard to begin with but I know that I will love my job as it will challenges me and that's what I like.

Also the money will be good and it seems that once you are in you will progress quite quickly. There are so many routes that you can progress into if you want to be an accountant and I really don't know yet and I know I will need to do more research on different companies and career directions so that I don't make a mistake or something and I don't want money to be my influence if that makes sense.

Other than that I want to apply to volunteer with the local council and get some experience. They were the only one's that replied to me and hopefully they will give me some experience and a reference and I think I might go for working at the food bank and will see how that will go. I am going to send that application form tonight. I promise that.
