5 things I want to do this year!

So this post is a little late but I got inspired to write it when I was reflecting.
Instead of creating a new years resolution for myself I do something a little bit different and create a list of things I hope to achieve throughout the year. Last year I managed complete everything on my list so I thought if I blog about it will give me more motivation to get this years list done as well!

1. Be More Charitable 
A couple of years ago I went to India (Read all about it in my other blog posts) and we had to raise money to even go on the trip and then got to help out some amazing people. Reflecting on this i decided that I wanted to become more charitable this year. I've already donated to a friends skydiving she's doing to help a good cause. Also entered a raffle when all the money when to Cancer charities, but I still want to carry this on throughout the year and I'm looking at donating to Make A Wish Foundation or MIND which is a mental health charity. 

2. Take more photos with people
I love taking pictures and I think that taking them is really important you can reflect on what you've done and have really nice memories. I decided I wanted to take more pictures with people and just generally of things I do and places I go. 

3. Pass my second year of university
I go to university and if I'm honest I really hate it. Ive wanted to drop out several times and I transferred to a university closer to home. Passing my second year with a decent grade would be a huge thing for me as its makes me one step closer to what I actually want to do in life!

4. Apply for grad schemes
This links in with my previous thing I hope to accomplish. Ill be going into my final year of university and I will need to start applying to places, I've got a few places in mind but need to do a bit more research over the summer to make my final decisions!

5. Fly First Class
This is something which is actually on my bucket list! But I'm going back to Canada this summer to watch CRANKWORX which is this kind of mountain biking festival, loads of different competitions and things to do. Im flying back earlier than my other family so i decided to bump myself up to first class as a little treat! I'm so excited to complete this task!

Thanks for reading! If you've got your own blogs I would love for you to comment them down below and Ill check them out!

Birthday!

So had my birthday yesterday! 
Thought I'd share my day and a few bits that I got... 
Started off the day heading to work for the morning, first birthday ive actually had to work. Guess it was a good as year as any as I am no longer a teenager, felt like the world was saying to me 'Welcome to the real world' you can't just have the day off because its your birthday! 
I came home to massive balloons from my dad!
which was a lovely surprise! 

But I have such a sweet tooth and two of my favourite things from the day were
My Millies cookie, which is this amazing cookie place, my sisters boyfriend ordered me a giant double cookie with chocolate in the middle to hold them together. The icing is strawberry and you could smell it as soon as you opened up the box! It was amazing!!! 

But my most favourite thing I got was my birthday cake! 


 This is loads of cupcakes with yellow and pink icing made to look like roses, with a few fake roses and leaves to add to the effect! Its so amazing and a family friend made this for me. Its my favourite thing from the day because you can see how much thought has been put into it! Im a little to scared to eat one as its going to ruin the whole display of it! 

Got a few other lovely things like lots of flowers and DVD's and a hamper of my favourite goodies from my sister as well. Had an amazing day and can't wait to celebrate properly on the weekend! 

Will be posting a proper blog later on this week to keep and eye out!
