As the days get colder and the rain more frequent, I've found myself looking back through photos from the summer. I was lucky to have a very busy few months after finishing my first year of university and had the best time so I thought I'd do a recap of everything I got up to. Festivals I'd never been to a festival before and this year I went to 3! The first was The Isle of Wight Festival which was just amazing and I definitely think it's a festival for everyone to enjoy. We were able to see some amazing artists including Lewis Capaldi, Tom Grennan, The Kooks, Rudimental, Madness, Shaggy and so many more. I did end up burning myself really badly on the first day, despite frequently applying suncream but that was a small price to pay and I've already planned to go again in 2023! I also went to Boomtown which is a different kind of experience music wise but was so good to spend time with my boyfriend - Ryan and our friends. Also, the sets were incredible, and the eff...
Well, it’s definitely been a while, in fact, this is the longest I’ve not posted on here! I wanted to come back with a post talking about what I’ve been up to and why I’ve not posted for a bit.
There isn’t a big reason, I think it’s mostly because I’ve been dedicating a lot of my time to my Creative Arts degree. I actually have to upload my work to a blog and since I’ve been trying to work consistently and maintain that, I ended up neglecting this one sadly!
Another contributing factor is the fact that I wasn’t feeling too inspired with new creative ideas for this blog and didn’t want to write for the sake of it. Also, we all need to take a break sometimes!
So, what have I been up to recently? Well as I said, a lot of my time goes into studying. I feel pretty productive and so far it’s going well as I’m making a lot of progress. I’m actually really enjoying learning and developing my knowledge again!
Something I've been trying to improve for a while now is my sleeping pattern, I've never been someone who finds it easy to sleep and don't think I will be but I definitely wanted to try to get into a routine of some sort. I wouldn't say my sleep habits are perfect now but I'm not up gone 4am every night so that's progress! I actually think I might do a whole post talking about the different things that can help improve your sleep routine! Alongside with better habits, I've tried to incorporate more exercise into my week too, I find myself getting bored if I do the same thing so I'm always looking to try new ways to improve my fitness!
I also recently went away to Northumberland for a week with my family at the end of August. It was really nice to get away and visit a new area and we were really lucky with the weather so I spent a lot of time outside! Since we were so close to the border I was able to take a tonne of photos too which I always enjoy, especially experimenting with the camera I got for Christmas! Not that I'm not complaining, but how are we already approaching this Christmas!? Since this is just a catch-up post I'll save all the holiday details for a separate post!
Here are a few of photos I took whilst I was away, I'll be posting a lot in an upcoming post!
It feels good to write on this blog again and I'm looking forward to posting more regularly. I'm not going to put any pressure on how regularly I post as I know I need to focus on my uni work but I'm excited to start some Autumn content!
Beautiful pictures! You're right everyone needs a break. Welcome back and good luck with school!
ReplyDeleteI can definitely relate to school taking priority over my own blogging schedule, my last year at university was probably the most random uploading schedule! I also feel the same with writing blog posts, if I’m not 100% on the post idea or am not inspired enough then I won’t just write for the sake of writing, I’d rather wait for inspiration to hit than not be passionate about what I’m writing - taking a break can really help with inspiration!
ReplyDeleteExercise during the week is such a game changer, I always feel a lot more energized after a workout, though have to make sure I get enough sleep or else the workout isn’t going to be done at 100%!
Your photos look amazing, you look like you had an amazing time in nature!
