Feline Chic

If university has taught me one thing recently it is that I was terribly naive in my expectations of the people I would meet and become friends with. It is the people I have not shared similar life experiences with which I am now creating new memories. In fact two of my closest friends in Edinburgh didn't grow up in Britain, looked beyond the borders of the UK for education and have lived in ways I had only seen on films. Crazy right?

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:

So, I'm back. It's been a year, I know, a busy long and chaotic year. In the time that I have been MIA a lot of things in my life have changed and I myself have changed. Well I mean firstly I only fricking moved to EDINBURGH...SCOTLAND... Before that though, I had the most exceptional summer of my life, but I'll come onto that later on. Yes, leaving Yorkshire was one of the hardest things I will ever have to do. But there's a very reasonable excuse for this move, I got into university, after hours of hard revision and days of stagnant anticipation over summer. Therefore for the past three months I have been settling into the student life, acclimatising to Scottish weather and learning I am not the best at making friends. Small Changes have also happened: I got new glasses, new job, a giant champagne glass is in my possession , you probably know these sort of changes. Here it is then, my returning notice. Look forward to loads of things coming in the next few month
