When
I think about 2013 so many different things come to mind, so many things
happened!
2013
saw me go through the major stress of my final GCSE exams, which I remember
being the most stressful time ever and I literally counted down the days until
they were over. I was so happy with my results, it definitely was a highlight
of the year, so was the dinner at T.G.I's to celebrate, I have to say I much
prefer A Levels in terms of only studying the subjects you want to, I remember
struggling through GCSE maths so much the idea of finishing it was incredible.
So far I haven't needed the torturous maths I was taught.
One of my highlights of the year was
definitely prom, it was such a good way to celebrate the end of the dreaded
GCSEs and in hindsight it was a goodbye to those who were going to move schools
for A Levels. I struggled so much to find a dress though because I'm quite
short all of the dresses were too long for me! That's what you get for being
5ft 1 I guess. Everything about the evening was good, we found a giant chess
board outside and we took pictures on that and the stars were out, it was
beautiful. I loved this evening so much I wrote a song about it.
I
went on two holidays this year, the first and most exciting was Florida. We
visited Orlando, Florida again for two weeks which was lovely. I have to say
the weather was a little colder than it usually is in Florida, I ended up
wearing jeans for a few of the days, that never happens. I swam with dolphins
again whilst we were there, I did it a few years ago and it was incredible but
also incredibly cold. The weather on the day this time was so much better and
definitely made it much more enjoyable. If you ever get the chance to swim with
dolphins you should.
During
the summer I went on a little week away to Weymouth, it was a pretty little sea
side town and I must say the weather for England was incredible! Everybody
loves a good little holiday, especially when you have one too many Starbucks
during it!
The summer of 2013 was
one of my favourite times in my life. I spent it with friends and I just
remember having fun. This one day we were at my friend’s house, the weather was
beautiful and we were playing table tennis in the garden. It was just so much
fun. One night I stayed at my friend’s house and we camped in her garden and we
gazed at the stars at 1 o'clock in the morning, stars are pretty! I also spent
a lot of time with my family in the summer, one day I went to my Auntie's house
and we sat and watched the BBC's version of Pride and Prejudice (which is about
6 hours long) whilst eating pizza and having a good old chat.
This year my family also
received incredible news, a family member of mine had been ill for 2 years and
this year it was resolved and they've got better and honestly it has made me so
happy. there is nothing worse than constantly worrying about somebody very
close to you, I'm so relieved that chapter in their and my life is over.
I also got my own little
kitten this year! He is called Pickles and he is currently curled up next to me
asleep and he is beautiful. I am such a cat person and to have my own is so
exciting. He is the cutest thing, ever!
I celebrated my 17th
birthday in 2013, we went to a restaurant called Prezzo and it was lovely to
spend the evening with those that I enjoyed spending time with. It was good.
I also started my blog
this year! That was exciting, I remember having no idea what I was doing, I
still don't really but I love it. I love just chatting about whatever and
hearing what you guys have to say. I love blogging.
Not everything has been
perfect this year, I think the area of my life that has changed the most has
been friendships. I think sometimes you can hold on too long because you care
about people, you think oh they didn't mean it, oh they'll make an effort next
time, at some point they'll realise how they are making me feel but they never
do. Some people are self-centred and have no loyalty and I've learnt that they
really aren't worth your time. Sometimes you have to realise your self-worth
and walk away.
Towards the end of the
year my friendship with Beth (pictured above) has become incredible. She is
someone that I've been friends with for years but we've become really close
recently and she's amazing. When I was sad she made me smile and that's all
that really matters in a friendship.
My highlight of the year has to be
seeing Girls Aloud in concert, I'm so glad I got tickets as very sadly after
the tour they decided to finish as a group, but honestly this was the best
night of the year. Girls Aloud's music was the first that I really took an
interest in and the girls are honestly incredible. It was a night full on singing,
dancing and maybe a few tears. You have to love Girls Aloud.
So that was 2013, there
were really good times and really bad times but I've learnt a lot from both. I
can't wait to see what 2014 has in store for me.
Goodbye
2013, Hello 2014
