Pros and Cons of learning to drive

Image
At 20 (very nearly 21), I probably should be able to drive by now. To be honest though, the idea of driving never really appealed to me. When all my friends turned 17 (its 17 you can learn to drive, right?) and were asking for driving lessons and cars, I was asking for other things; clothes, makeup, a new phone, DVD's...nothing to do with driving or cars. It just didn't bother me! I live pretty central to everywhere I need to go. If I can't walk, I can get a train. Who needs a car? However, now that I'm starting to look for proper careers, rather than temporary jobs, I'm starting to think that driving would be a good idea- but I'm still not 100% decided whether I should learn or not! To help me out, I made a list of pros and cons that I thought I'd share with you guys... PROS - You have total independence. No lifts from mum or dad necessary! - You can go to a McDonald's drive through whenever you want. - You can go out when you went, whenever...

#SeptemberStudies- Should you go to university?

Image
One of the biggest questions we have to answer as a teenager is "Should I go to university?". It's a touch question because only you can come up with the answer- and there is no right or wrong answer either.  The truth of the matter is, university isn't for everyone, and that is totally okay! Some people love education and all that comes with it, others don't, and that's fine. You shouldn't let anyone pressure you into going or not going- it has to be 100% your decision. This post is going to attempt to help you find out whether university is right for you by weighing up some of the general pros and cons Pros- Yes, you should go to university because... You can gain a degree. So many jobs require you to be a graduate with a degree and even if they don't, having a degree can give you an advantage when applying for a job once you've finished with university.  You can make lifelong friends. You'll bond with people at un...

10 reasons every girl wishes they were Blair Waldorf

Gossip Girl entered the lives of pre-teens, teens and young adults across the globe way back when in 2007. Our lives became consumed by it and we lusted after the glamorous lifestyles that each of the characters was living. It's safe to say though that most girls were taken in by the one and only Blair Waldorf. Seeming to be living in an absolute dream world, we couldn't help but pine after her clothing collections, envy her opportunities and of course, lust over her main love interest, Chuck Bass. There are so many reasons we loved (or loved to hate???) Blair Waldorf...here is a handful of them! 1) She had a personal slave, who not only acted as her maid but also cared very much about her. We <3 Dorota. 2) She had the best selection of clothing to choose from...The girl could pull off literally any  look! Serious wardrobe envy.  3) Her level of sass was off the scale...always. 4) Even if that meant sometimes she was a bit of a bitch...but she al...

The big 100!!!

So, 10 months into blogging I have reached my 100th post! Insane, right? Anyway, I wanted to make my 100th post a special one, as it's quite a big deal, and the wonderful Justine, of Girl Gone Dreamer  suggested I do some sort of list of 100 things relating to a certain topic. I thought this was a fabulous idea, and so had settled on "100 things that I have learnt whilst blogging!". However, I got to 50 and began to struggle. So this is "50 things I have learnt whilst blogging and 50 bloggers you must follow!" It's going to be a lengthy post but I hope you all enjoy it! 1) You make some AMAZING friends. Truly the best part about blogging has been all of the people I have met! 2) You can blog about literally anything- not just beauty and fashion. I've met bloggers of some really unique topics. 3) You'll learn a lot  about a variety of topics, from mental health to feminism, to politics. It's all going down in the world of blogging. 4) You ...
