Best Buys

So now I'm settled back into work, back on schedule with friends and results day for my AS exams is a week away I have decided it's high time I re-organised...and congratulated myself on nothing specific at all.

My first purchase reflects the hectic business of my life I really need to rein in: my yearly diary. It's patterned, it's 18 months long and it was extremely pretty and calling my name. Commence with birthday filling in, appointment making can resume and at least now I can have written confirmation of deadlines (my one fatal flaw).



The second, joint and indulgent purchase chases a dream of a six year old with all the silent excitement of a stressed out young adult: intricate colouring book? YES PLEASE. They're all the rage, apparently, colouring books for the stress ridden adult; a need for mindfulness, focus and peace can be found in the hundreds of flowers, keeping between the lines and mini 'treasure hunt'. I would advise anyone who's on the fence about these books to grab one and colour that fence in.

The Social Construct of the Slut

Now I really want to address a social topic quite close to home. This social construct of the slut…  Yes, a rather strange topic which is becoming more and more of a public debate due to the overuse of the label in everyday instances. But when one considers the complexity of what makes someone a slut, of why women are labelled as such and how society receives such a label it becomes a very interesting analysis. So I’m pretty much going to break it down in my interpretation.

An Obligatory Year in Review 2016

Image
Some have dubbed it a rather disastrous year, full of surprises and controversy and pain. Me? I can see where those people are coming from, but my 2016 was full of love, and adventure and learning. From every day in college to every summer road trip and the big move that will likely shape my life for good. 2016 brought into my life people I would be heartbroken to lose, it showed me places I will never forget and made me look into myself when I was struggling most to find strength. Come with me through a chronology of the past year:

My Very Relevant, Very Cliche New Years Resolutions

Everyone makes them at some point in their life; be it giving up smoking, going to the gym, or even going vegan. For a specific amount of time at the beginning of each calendar year a vast majority of people in developed, capitalist society will base most if not all their decisions on the one resolution they really mean to keep. “This is the year.” they say, “I never really wanted to do this before but now I’m ready.” And for that specific amount of time we support one another, encourage and truly believe in the resolutions made when we’re three bottles of wine down and the fireworks have just stopped. Gradually, of course, reality kicks in that the gym is just too much of a hassle to get to, that the stop smoking gum doesn't work, and giving up meat turns out to be a lot harder when they just opened that new steak house in town. For most people, and most resolutions, the promises we make for the year ahead get lost in the bad Monday’s and the boozy Saturday’s…followed by many a
