Henley on Thames for a teenager.

To open with I know in my last post I said I would post to my blog once a week and well this week I didn’t have anything to talk about that I believed I could make interesting. But now a week and one day later I have an idea.

Henley on Thames is a quaint town with lots of little coffee shops and in the summer we have Henley Royal Regatta and Henley Festival and other such events. Henley is from the younger person perspective an older peoples town with very little to do. As all the events that happen in Henley you have to pay for.

Henley at Night

As a student who has lived in Henley for almost six years now I have to say Henley for a teenager is dire. There is nothing to do for us, no shelter from the rain if we want to go out but not pay for a coffee, no free activities and no shops we actually want to go to. Then there is the Skate park issue… We would love a Skate park but the council of Henley are against it because they want Henley to be an old peoples town.

What do I want as a teenager who lives in Henley? To start with I would love an internet café. Henley is the home of coffee shops yet there is not a single internet café! If I want to print something off in town I have to go the library or go home if the library is closed. An internet café would be an amazing benefit to Henley in my view.

I also think Henley should have a new Skate park! I think most of the teenagers in Henley agree with that. It’s been campaigned for, for years but yet the council do nothing! So much to listening to the what the people want, it’s all about the politics and the money to them. Henley Skate park is now closed and taken apart for being too dangerous.

Henley Skate Park…

The third think I think Henley should have is rain shelters in parks, like the band stand in Henley maybe. It would be so useful for people to meet up there and have shelter on hot days and also on rainy days. It wouldn’t have to be expensive but it would be a nice thing to have and I think useful to the public.

These are just some of my ideas for Henley and I had this idea for a post as I am writing this from the Henley library and came here as I needed to print some of my college work off here. 🙂

Electric Hairdressing

So last night I went to The Oracle Student Sessions. This is where there are massive reductions off almost all the shops in the Oracle for students! 🙂 I went and one of the offers for students was free hair braiding by Electric Hairdressing! When I saw the offer on the web I was so thrilled!

I love having my hair done and the idea of having it done professionally, made me so excited! So I went and had my hair done last night. And I was amazed by what they did. It looked beautiful! 🙂 There I wasn’t sure what I wanted done, so I let them decide what to do with my hair. What they did was the plat that was used by some of the runway models at London Fashion Week!

The queue was short so I didn’t have to wait long to have it done and it was done by such a cool guy, who was really nice! 🙂 So I saw a massive thank you to Electric Hairdressing for making me look and feel stunning! 🙂 I would recommend them for any hair styling to anyone! 🙂 Go check out their website too! http://www.electric-hair.com/

German for Physics

Ok so I decided I wanted to swap German for physics. 🙂 German I found difficult, confusing and way out of my depth. It was when people were doing work around the class I was just trying to figure out what to do but it wasn’t getting any clearer… I know call me lazy, call me a coward for not persisting… I kinda am.

How ever I decided upon taking physics instead. Physics was my favourite subject at GCSE. No jokes, I love the subject and I was one mark of getting an A* in it which was sad. But I had a lesson in it today, just to see what it was like before I made the change and I loved it. We were looking at fundamental interactions of which there are four and at particle annihilation. Though this I fell in love with it. 🙂 To me it just made scene… I know that sounds weird, but I just understood what was going on. 🙂 However I make it sound all good but I have to admit for the first ten minutes of the lesson I didn’t have a clue what was going on and then it all just fell into place and I understood it. 🙂 So this change means I now don’t dread any of my lessons I take and so this makes my day two of #100HAPPYDAYS :)

TV and Movies.

Ok I know I don’t have an actually TV. Yes how do I watch TV? Internet and DVD of series. I have a few bit I have got into over the years but I do like many people have a favourite. When I was a little kid it was “You’ve Been Framed” or “Scooby Doo”, the episodes I could watch from time to time were anyway. 🙂

Then getting older it was “Star Trek Voyager”. I remember staying up whenever I could to watch this. My favourite character was Seven of Nine. Why? Because I remember her as bit of an untrusted out cast who was stunning and really cleaver. 🙂 I aspired to be her one day…

Then again I got older and developed a love of “N.C.I.S.” with my favourite character as Abby as I loved her style and just though she was so cool. I loved how she was so cleaver and good with computers and chemicals. I just though she was so cool. 🙂

Now my favourite thing to watch is “Supernatural”. I love it. I love the monsters and the mystery and also the story line and how it’s so twisted and kills the main characters off so often to only bring them back. My favourite season was season five. Where my favourite charterer who is primevally good. Accepts the main role a bad guy. This just made me so happy.

I have always supported the bad guys in films… Even since I was little and supported Randall in Monsters inc. when I was very little. 🙂 I just thought he was cool and a pretty colour at that age but I guess now I still support the bad guys, because they never actually win in the end. Which I think is sad in a way…

My favourite movie of all time is The Italian Job. To me nothing can beat the original with the line of “You’re only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!” it just gets to me every time. 🙂 But I love most movies. 🙂 Comedy is probably my main love. Paul, We are the Millers, The Watch ect… I love because they just make me laugh, no matter how many times I see them. 🙂 If any of you have any favourite TV shows or movies I would be interested because maybe, you might get me into something new. 🙂

I got a boyfriend.

So I been at college two days, I have had one test and been set my first piece of homework and I’ve only had two lessons so far, they were maths and German. I got the test in maths and the homework form German, I am so lucky. 🙂 But also, I found a guy I love. College is great! 🙂

So this guy I met on my first day, he’s in my tutor and well we became friends so quickly… And then when we had a tour of the college we ended up just talking about everything and anything. Then at the lunch time of the first day, we almost got run over together, just because he followed me across a road when I didn’t look… His fault! 😉

Then well I don’t know when I exactly started liking him but it was between these two incidents so that give a 4 hour time window… Yes I know short time, I wasn’t one for love at first sight but… I may have to become a believer in it. 🙂 I am genuinely the happiest I’ve been in ages.

So when did this happen? This morning about three… Yes I know, I had just got home from work so that is why it was so early. I got home at one and I went to bed at about four thirty ish. 🙂 So we were talking over messenger as most teenagers do and well or conversation took a flirty tone, don’t ask me how but then he used the best pick up line I’ve ever heard and I just went from not sure I liked him to knowing he was perfect. 🙂 I love him so much. 🙂

What made me reply with the last comment I shall never know but I don’t regret it.

I just want to say as a side note, the whole time while writing this post, I’m blushing massively and grinning like a complete idiot. I get a feeling I am in for the best relationship of my life. 🙂

My Perfect Relationship

Ok so I just want to say really, what I want in a relationship. It might not be everyone’s perfect relationship but hay if you can relate to any of it then cool! 🙂 Ok I don’t care what gender they are or what they look like. If they are fat or skinny, tall or short, ect. If they have a nice personality and we get along I would be happy. 🙂

I want someone who isn’t over protective, as in if we don’t talk for a week it’s ok because we trust each other and know the other won’t cheat. I admit I do like to talk a lot to people but then I get days at a time I just can’t be bothered… I’m a girl, I have mood swings and days when I am even too lazy to text someone. On days like that I just want to curl up and watch movies… With my cat or with someone else. I just want some one who isn’t checking on me every five minutes because that pisses me off so much!

My perfect first date? Picnic of doughnuts and crisps in a wood or field away from people were we can just be us and do what we like and sing at the top of our voices and act like idiots. Talk and hug and be happy.

I want someone who doesn’t care what I look like. I mean if I wear boys T-Shirts and jeans or colours that clash but I’m comfortable I want someone who won’t care. I won’t care what they look like, hell if a guy turned up wearing a dress because it was comfy I wouldn’t love him any less. I would just feel comfortable even if were to go into town like that I wouldn’t be embarrassed, I would love him for the confidence he had to do it. 🙂

I want someone who I could just walk around in a baggy T-Shirt and pants and not care about anything else, even my scars. That’s what I sleep in at home because it’s comfy, why not like that when I’m with someone I love?

I know perfect relationships never truly happen but that would be mine. 🙂 Most of all I want someone who wouldn’t mind me hugging them a lot. No matter where we are or who we are with. But I know people find it hard to swallow their pride and feel so comfortable around others so a relationship like that is honestly asking a lot… But still I can dream that one day that will be mine. 🙂

Mind Over Matter – Out Now!

So hi, I’m back! 🙂 Sorry, I have recently got two jobs and they this is the first time I have free since I have started when I haven’t been sleeping or eating… I lost my life when I started work… I’m slowly figuring out how to get it back. 🙂

Anyway what I wanted to say, Equilibrium has released his first ever album today! I seriously suggest if you like Electronic music or dubstep, definitely checking it out. It’s amazing! 🙂 Well I really it anyway! 🙂

His new album is called Mind Over Matter and it’s free to download from soundcloud at https://soundcloud.com/equilibrium-edm-official/sets/mind-over-matter I have been exccited about this album for a while. My favourite song is “What If”, I think it is beautiful, however I may be bias because it was the first song I heard of from him when he was still writing the album. 🙂

Why am I so supportive of Equilibrium? Well I am actually friends with the writer of the tracks and so being any good friend I support what they do. 🙂 But go check out his music please, it’s good and you would never think it’s his first ever album. I really hope he continues to make more music as Mind Over Matter is amazing so the rest I would bet would be even more so. Go him! 🙂 Such love to people with dreams! 🙂 Also just if you were wondering he has a Facebook page so give him a bit of love and a like. 🙂 https://www.facebook.com/equilibriumedm?fref=ts

Internet Window Shoping

So as I’m getting my first ever payment from work soon I was browsing around the internet, looking at dresses, bags, jewellery and stuff like that. My favourite two places to look on are Etsy and Ebay! 🙂 Etsy has some really incredible and rare stuff and Ebay has some amazing second hand or cheap bits. Being a girl internet mooching is a common occurrence. So today I was thinking of sharing some of the bits I look at and love.

So first of all I was actually looking at bags to maybe see if I could find something nice for the next school year. 🙂 I found Etsy had better selection of bags that I liked then Ebay did. This is fairly rare as normally for me this only happens with Jewellery. I was looking at Rucksacks but with clasps or  buckles instead of zips, because zips are so mainstream. My last school bag had zips but it was so colourful and out there it didn’t’ matter. So below are some of the bags I was looking at for school. :

So while I was at it I also looked at a few dresses, ok when I look for dresses I always make them have a skater bottom to them, I find it is so much comfier for a dress to have this. 🙂 While I was at it I looked at mini skirts because I love wearing them with long socks. I think it looks amazing. 🙂 A skirt I found I really liked was by Banana Republic I just think it looks amazing and could go with almost anything. 🙂

Then finally while I was looking around I looked for jewellery and shirts. Jewellery because it just adds to any outfits and also Etsy do some amazing jewellery, I would recommend Etsy to anyone looking for jewellery, epically if they are slightly nerdy. 🙂 And I looked for some shirts across both sites, Why? Because I love checked shirts, they are smart yet casual and comfy and warm but you can roll the selves up in summer making them so practical! And I also found the most amazing shirt ever on Etsy! 🙂 I know today is a very girly post but hay I’m a girl. 😉

First and last ever school party!

I call this first and last school party as I’ve never been to a party with only people from my own school and I’ve just left school so I had nothing to lose! 🙂 Well after last night I have no regrets about going! 🙂 I had an awesome time. A lot of people went who I was good friends with in school and then everyone I knew also knew from school as well, it was great fun!

There was loads of booze and my closer friends were also smoking, but I can happily say I didn’t drink or smoke for the entire night! Even though I was very tempted to. I kept to the food (crisps and chocolate) and the soft drinks (Pepsi and 7 Up).

Ok I know I was sober but I still ended getting off with someone! This was the first time I have ever done that at a party! I know even now I don’t think that will be something I will ever forget. Who did I get off with? Well my old science buddie who I sat next to for the last 3 years at least 9 times a week. She is a girl and bi, and her name is Lauren and she is amazing! 🙂

I wasn’t the only person to get off with someone, loads of people did. One girl got off with 3 people at the party! I was like hot damn, I thought that wasn’t possible! Two straight girls got off, which caused a bit of a stir as people were getting all excited by it, they were drunk! End of story!

Then there is always that one guy who gets drunk and becomes really funny and creepy. He wanted to watch people make out! It was so creepy! But then once he forgot about that he just danced and made such a fool of himself! It was so funny for the rest of us and he didn’t realise how entertaining he was. 🙂

I got a taxi home as I didn’t want to keep my parents up too late. I had booked the taxi earlier as I knew I wouldn’t do it at the party and the chances of getting a lift would have been slim. I booked using minicabit and the process was really simple and safe. I would definitely use them again! 🙂
