I'm pretty sure I've said this every school year I have started - "I'm gonna be really organised!" "I'm gonna get all my homework out the way when I get it" blah blah blah, you get the picture but never actually followed it through.
But seeing as this is my last EVER school year (oh god), I am so determined to keep to these promises. This is my most important year of school and exams and for once, I am motivated to try hard, go the extra mile and all that jazz.
Including, making time for this blog. Starting from this week, I am going to be posting something every Sunday, could be a review of some kind, a recipe, something I want to talk about, something I've written myself but just a blog post with words in it.
This one is gonna be short and sweet so all I am going to say is to my fellow students, work hard and keep to any promises you make to yourself! We can do this together!
Tis all for now.

I CAN'T WRITE PERSONAL STATEMENTS - a ramble about my life
So if you're like me, you are 17, got your AS results (and if you're really like me, you are incredibly annoyed with yourself over them) and are now just stressing about life and the ominous 'future'.
And the truth is.... I am terrified.
Generally, I'm a postive person- I'd like to think I spend quite a lot of time making sure my friends are happy and not feeling down. I give them advice that I ought to take myself but I just can't think straight when it comes to me.
The way I'm going writing a personal statement, passing my A2's and getting into a decent uni seem virtually impossible at the moment. If you add loving but pressuring parents, ill grandparents and low self-esteem on top of that, I feel overwhelmed. While I can't decide if this is due to my own feelings or the British schooling system, it is likely it is a mixture of both.
I've spent the last 24 hours thinking what the hell am I going to do? I'm never going to amount to anything, I'm never going to pass anything....etc.
However. Nearly everyone I know is possibly in the same boat. This is our final year of school that has suddenly got here very quickly. We're all scared. We all probably don't know what we are going to do in the future. We all know we have a hard year ahead.
So this is essentially a post to say.... let's be scared together.
A piece of paper with some letters on it does not define you and I need to remember that. I think a lot of us need to remember that.
I realise this hasn't been coherant but whatever. Share thoughts with me if you have them on this matter :)
