365 day challenge.
Day 6. How you hope your future will be like.
I hope I have a job I love that pays well, that I get to travel all over the world writing about my experiences and getting paid to do it, that I have a great boyfriend/fiance/husband and an apartment in New York. I don’t ask for much.
Day 7. Discuss your first love.
I haven’t had a first love. Forever alone.
Day 8. Put your iPod on shuffle and write down the first ten songs that pop up.
Eminem - Not afraid
The Audition - Fashion hour
The Script - If you ever come back
Kelly Clarkson - Miss independent
Of Monsters and Men - Sloom
Lily Allen - I could say
Nicki Minaj ft Rihanna - Fly
Beyonce - At Last
Paramore - Brick by boring brick
30 seconds to Mars - Kings and Queens
Day 9. Somewhere you’d like to visit.
New York, New York, New York.
Day 10. Your highs and lows of the past year.
Highs - Passed my first year of university, passed my driving test, bought a car.
Lows - Running out of money, multiple family medical problems, haven’t travelled anyhwere or done anything particularly exciting.
Day 11. Write a letter to your parents.
Hi mum, you will never read this so it’s entirely pointless. Bye.
365 Day Challenge.
Day 4. Your views on drugs and alcohol.
I don’t do drugs but I do drink alcohol, not regularly though and never to the point of blacking out/ falling over (except once).
Drugs are pathetic, you take them with the knowledge of it potentially destroying/ending you life. How can they be worth the risk.
Now if I were to have an opinion on alcohol I’d be a hypocrite, so alcohol is ok in moderation.
Day 5. Your zodiac sign and do you think it fits your personality.
Cancer.
“Moodiness is one of the worst of their faults. They are quick to be in an up mood but just as quickly they are in a black hole. Keeping them moderated is the ideal situation for a Cancer personality. And along with their changeable personalities Cancers can also be shy.
Sentimentality runs deep in the Cancerian. If you want someone to find the best card or gift for another, ask a Cancer personality. They are very inventive in their gifts and the receivers of such will tell you just how good they are. This romanticism is part of the Cancer aura but may keep a Cancerian living in the past instead of moving forward. Cancerians adore their children. Home and family is vital to the Cancer personality. If this water sign is not careful, they can smother the ones they love with their protectiveness.”
365 day challenge.
Day 3. Where you’d like to be in ten years.
In a nice apartment in New York with a good writing job and a boyfriend/fiance/husband.

30th June
Day 365: Look back to your first post of this challenge, asking ‘Post a picture of yourself and tell us your hopes, dreams and plans for the next 365 days’ did you achieve any of these goals? And post a new picture.
“Day 1: hopes, dreams, and plans for the next 365 days with a picture of yourself.
This question is really vague, my plans for a whole year? Well, Hopefully by this time next year I will have finished up my first year of university after studying English Literature, this is dependent on me achieving the conditional grades which I will receive some time in August. If I don’t get in to university then I have absolutely no idea what I’m going to do. The latter is looking more likely right now. On a happier note I will be turning 18 in 13 days. I should also be driving in the next few months and I am going on holidays to France with my best friend next month. If all goes to plan the next 365 days should be amazing.”
I got in to university, I have passed my first year with a 2:1. I am driving and have a car. I went to France and the year has been amazing. I achieved all my goals and that picture makes me miss my red hair.
This time last year ^ and now v

365 Day challenge.
8th May
Day 312: What are your views on abortion?
I am pro-life. I think once you’re pregnant you don’t have the choice to destroy a life. There is protection, if you’re stupid enough not to use any then that’s your own fault. I know it’s not that simple or black and white but either way i’m pro-life unless it’s in the circumstance of the child genuinely suffering.

365 Day challenge.
7th May
Day 311: Are you religious?
Not at all. I actively hate religion. It causes so many problems that otherwise wouldn’t exist without it. It’s a social constraint, like telling a child that if they’re good Father Christmas will bring them presents but instead people are told if they’re good they’ll go to ‘heaven’. We stop believing in Father Christmas, why do people still believe in a God.
