Zoe Sugg , otherwise known as ‘Zoella’ is a youtuber, and writer. Ever since my friend told me about Zoella’s channel I have been obsessed with watching her main channel videos, especially her hair and make-up tutorials which are so handy and easy to follow.

Which is why I was so thrilled when Zoella brought out her first novel ‘Girl Online’ , this book is about a young girl from Brighton called Penny who starts to write a blog which only her best friend Elliot knows about.(you can see why I liked this book already).

Penny’s family all get the chance to travel all the way to New York City for Christmas, where Penny meets a musician called Noah , who could change her life for the better. However, Noah has a big secret which he has kept from Penny throughout her stay in New York . Will Penny find out? and if so how will she cope with the news she learns .

Honestly I could not put this book down, it is such a sweet story and exactly the type of book I would normally read which is why I am so glad Zoella is bringing out another book. So make sure to grab ‘Girl Online’ before her nest novel.I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Thankyou, Lucy-May.

There is a creative writing course I have found which I really want to do , it’s online and I can study from home which is great for me. However, at the minute I am due to go back to Uni tomorrow for five weeks to finish off my first year. I don’t have anything to do during the day though if I drop out now , but if I do go back I have a ton of work that I need to do in order to pass the year which as you can tell from my blog yesterday I really don’t want to do.

I just wish I was one of those people who are not afraid to take a bet on themselves and find a way of doing what they really want to do . My Mum always says that confidence grows with time, but I tell her it’s been 18 years how much longer do I really have to wait?

I think that’s my problem, I do tend to live in a bit of a fantasy land , I think that one day I am going to wake up and hear a crack and that’s going to be it , my shell will break and I will live the rest of my life happily  and nothings ever going to knock me down again. I blame this on watching too much reality TV.

I am looking outside right now, it’s a Monday and I’m off , it’s a beautiful day and I’m still sat in bed with my pyjamas on, as you can see I really need to change my lifestyle.

I don’t need to , I am going to , time to motivate myself I guess, I think I am going to do on a walk while the weather is so nice , fresh air , clear my head , and then I’ll let you know If I decide to apply for the course . (I really want too!).

Again thankyou for listening to me moan, if you have anything that you really want to do like me , let me know how you get on.

Thankyou, Lucy-May.

Sound familiar?

I am the last minute Queen when it comes to doing work. Even though I know to get it done as soon as possible and doing it to the best of your ability is a great feeling I choose to just leave it. I am definitely to laid back ! Do you ever do that think ‘Oh I’ll get it done and then when it comes to the last minute you panic and think oh my God what am I going to do I cannot get this done! This is me all over. All I want is sympathy because I don’t want to do it but at the end of the day I know it’s all my own fault! ( I hate saying that.)

I now am stuck in on a lovely day staring at the computer trying to motivate myself to do work that I have absolutely no interest in doing because I don’t even want to go back to uni and I feel like I can’t think straight and I’m sorry all this blog really is , is me ranting on about how I want to change my life because I don’t like uni but I don’t know what I’m going to do if I drop out and really I’m just ranting to get out of doing work , even though I know it will be such a relief the sooner I get it done!

Ever have one of those days were you feel you just want to rant on about nothing, well this is mine , after this I am not going to moan again I am just going to get on with it! (  I say this now I’ll probably end up writing another blog post after) .

Anyway rant over. Please let me know if you ever have any days were you just lack motivation to do any work whatsoever ! By the way I know this totally goes back on the last post I wrote , I’m finding it hard to listen to my own advice as always , I hope I just take one day!

Thankyou for listening to me moan, Lucy-May.

Generally I can be quite a quiet person , which  I have to say really irritates me sometimes as I’m sure it does with a lot of other people who are quiet. I feel like it holds me back from doing so much that I want to do in life , so I have decided that I’m not going to let it affect me any more  . (I know definitely easier said then done). I do say this to myself a lot really but this time I want to make sure to take my own advice seriously and I know it may sound cheesy, live the life that I want to live . It get’s so easy to become scared of everyday things in life and sink into a bubble without realizing and then before you know it your stuck in some sort of rut and with each day that goes by it can become harder to get out of.

Not any more! ( Imagine me saying this very enthusiastically, again sorry with the cheesiness).

So here is my advice to myself to become more confident…

1) Don’t be afraid to socialise more, it can be so scary as you grow up and start to meet more new people and also with the way people our age socialise nowadays ( by this I obviously mean social media) it can get harder to manage to see people face to face , but make sure you see people on a regular basis then it won’t seem as scary!

2) Do more exercise ! , going on walks or any form of exercise is such a good way of getting outside and always manages to make you feel better , especially since the weather is getting nicer!.

3) Work hard at everything you do, if you work hard at whatever you do in life it will pay off and immediately make you feel better about yourself and appreciate everything more as you will have earned it.

4) Don’t be lazy and sit watching TV all night!, I am such  a TV addict , literally my night sometimes revolves around what time a certain programme is on, for example the vampire diaries is on tonight , but if you watch the vampire diaries you know that it is so good that you just can’t miss an episode! Still you can always record it and do something productive like work or going seeing people!

5) Treat yourself like a Queen, always appreciate yourself and the person you are. Take care of your appearance and take pride in how you look and if you like doing something that nobody else does , do it anyway, when I was in school I was in the choir and all my friends began to quit and I felt embarrassed that I was , so I quit my singing lessons and choir because I didn’t like to tell people that I liked to sing. I really regret doing this now because I miss it and I wouldn’t mind getting back into it!  If I treated myself like a Queen back then I wouldn’t have been bothered about what people thought of me I would have just done as I pleased , so don’t be afraid to do something different!

I know I am going to find it really hard to accomplish all these things but hopefully it time if I start to listen to myself I will gain the confidence that I want to have , hopefully this advice helps you too , please let me know if it does !

Thank you, Lucy- May.
