School stresses

Hey guys,

I can't believe I haven't posted since the end of August! Life has been so chaotic the past few weeks, what with doing my DofE and getting tonsillitis! I missed the entire first week of year 13 which wasn't so great... Daytime TV isn't all that great either, I managed to watch a tonne of Friends episodes and almost a whole season of Supernatural! If you're ill I would suggest DVDs and box-sets rather than channel-hopping!

To top it all off this past week has been one of the busiest ones ever! I've also been thinking a lot about this blog and how badly it's going at the moment. I can't put the time I want into it, but still want to be able to comment on it in my personal statement or portfolio. It's a tough predicament... sorta... so I've decided to just post once a month until I have finished my A-levels. It means I can spend the time I want to on posts but spread it out a little more than usual, and can go back to doing more DIY posts. It will also mean less stress worrying about the fact that I don't have a post ready to go up for that week and having a mountain of homework and coursework to do too.

I'm sorry for being dreadful with posting these past few weeks. The posts I do put up from now on will (hopefully) be a lot better, and less short and rambly! I'm pretty sure I hate them as much as you!

Again, sorry! x

I'm back baby! Kinda...

So, you know  that feeling where you just have a total lack of motivation, and find you don't really want to do anything productive? Yeah, that. That's how I've been feeling the past few weeks, even though I took time away from writing to 'find my style' as it were.

There's a couple of things I'm going to do now, the first is that I'm going to change the day I post to Monday, it will just mix it up a little, but isn't too much of a change. The second thing is that for the next few weeks, my posts probably won't be massively long, just while I get back into the swing of it and get used to posting and writing on a regular basis again.

The first post will be this Monday, the 4th, and I will try to get it up at 7pm UK time, so that it goes up just after the #TheGirlGang twitter chat.

I'm sorry it's been so long, and that I'm still kind of failing with the posts...

Love, Megan xx

2 Years on...

Seven hundred and twenty eight days.

That's how long I've been writing this blog. For the most part it's been amazing, and I've loved it, but at the moment everything seems to be piling up. I've been struggling to post on time, struggling to think of ideas and write the words, taking poor quality photos and my quality of writing has definitely taken a hit. Next month I will be taking my AS level exams and at the moment all of my revision and coursework is taking over. I know a lot of bloggers still write and post whilst taking exams, but I don't feel like I'll be able to handle everything. So, I've decided to take a break for a while, and I was going to start next week, but I figured that it may as well be today as this week will be another busy one, and I probably won't get another chance to sit and write this. Hopefully I'll be back at the end of June or in July, after my exams are over, but at the moment I'm just not sure. I hope I'll come back with new ideas and a set style, and later this summer I'm really going to try and work on my schedule, write some back-up posts and find a good way to take photos. I'll update my twitter on a regular basis with general things I get up to, and I'll definitely update when I'll be back, closer to the time.

When I started this blog, I just wanted people to listen. I was recently 15, and just needed someone to be there. Now I'm 17, which albeit, isn't that much older, but I feel like I have grown so much as a person. I've made different friends, become closer to old friends and had so many different experiences. When I was 15 I desperately wanted to help people, and I thought the only way I was going to be able to do that would be to go into medicine, but now, everything has changed. I've realised that, actually, I want to be as creative as possible. Not just on here, but in everything. I've realised that I can help people in different ways, I just have to think of them. The world is my oyster, as they say.

I know this sounds like I'm quitting for good, but I'm not. It was just that when I started typing, I just couldn't stop. The words were flowing, and I knew I needed to say them before they went again. Those of you who follow my twitter will know that I recently added 'Megan' to it. Grace is my middle name, Megan is my first name, but I always used to hate it. So many people were called Megan and I just so wanted to be different. I thought I needed to try and be someone else, but actually, all I need to be is myself, and I think I'm going to use these next few months to work on that.

I love you all, thank you for sticking with me and always being supportive! I hope you all have a lovely few months!

I'm going to come back better than ever, so stay tuned...
