January has been a crazy month for me! Everyone says 'January Blues' is the start of a New Year, alongside all the 'New Year, New Me' malarky! Honestly, January has been one of the best months I've had!
Reflecting on the last month and last year it's been a whirlwind! 2015 was a good year to me, I did a hell of a lot and made some brilliant memories, friends and experiences from beginning to end.
Of course it wasn't all good; life is a rollercoaster (as cliché as that sounds) and yes I was hurt, heartbroken, had fall outs and experienced tough times personally but I also had one of the best years. Wonderful experiences at Sky Sports, travelling to amazing parts of the world, spending my Summer with my best friends and family before returning to Uni and really starting life (as second year actually counts!!)
So here we are, 2016. January has been crazy. Bouncing back is something I was taught to do from a very young age, on the back end of 2015 I had to pick myself up, bounce back and get life back in order! STRESS! I can't do that at the best of times!
Anyways, I spent New Year away from home, somewhere different, with different people and had the best New Year to be honest! A week later, I was back in the land of Notts! Reunited with my uni gals, course mates and inevitably the work I should have really done over Christmas!
Everything in life happens for a reason & it's just as well I didn't do my work because it turned out I ended up interviewing the ex-captain of Nottingham Forest from during the Cloughie days, John McGovern for my Uni assessment, he also managed to get me an Academy player to interview, so procrastinating isn't always a bad thing! Bear that in mind!
I don't really believe in making shoddy New Year resolutions (mainly because I NEVER stick to them!!!) but also, why should a New Year encourage you to 'change your life' as dramatic as it sounds!
However, I am gonna go all cliché and have a 'clean' Feb (or try to!) After all it is the shortest month so I'm sure I won't miss my binge biscuits! I'm still gonna reward myself with a cheeky cocktail at the end of a hard working week though!
But my future reflections:
- Get fit & feel fab
- Teach myself to cook like Jamie Oliver (if that's possible as a student)
- Prioritise life! (I'm very organised on paper - but mentally prioritising isn't my forte)
- Look to the future (seriously..getting closer to my final year!!)
Looking to the future is a very pressuring thing we have to do these days, Sixth Form was the worst at forcing us to choose what path we wanted to take in life! Managed to do that - ticked off the bucket list - now i'm almost in my final year and need to think about getting a job...scary...moving on swiftly!!
There's so many exciting things in the pipe line at the moment, not just for me but everyone! We've had a lot of sad losses in the fame world this last month; David Bowie, Alan Rickman & Sir Terry Wogan. I saw a quote from Terry Wogan posted online today which really hit me & I hope it's inspiring to you as well...
"Take it easy, life's short enough as it is without rushing it"
- Sir Terry Wogan
On that note I'm off for my beauty sleep, but before I love you and leave you! I'm a strong believer that everything you do in life, you should do at the best of your ability. Do what's right for you and don't have any regrets. Sure, there's things I wish I could change but learn to appreciate what's been, and learn from it.
If you've had a crap month, move on. Make Feb a better month (second the best & all that!).
Thanks for reading!
