Hello there, buddies!
I miss uni :(
I genuinely think I am getting withdrawal symptoms from being there.
For all of you who haven't been to uni yet or just simply don't plan on going this is the sort of thing I mean: you live on your own (actually with friends) for an entire year. This means you can do what you want, when you want. You have all this freedom to do absolutely anything at absolutely any time. For instance, ordering pizza at 3AM (yes, I am guilty of this). You can go out without worrying about waking people up when you get in, or the fact you have to be home by a certain time. I used to stay awake all night then sleep most of the day, and I would have friend round until 6AM. So much freedom!
Then you come home.
Don't get me wrong, seeing my family is nice. But I miss my freedom. I have to live under someone else's house and (slightly) follow their rules. My parents are pretty chilled about this shit to be honest. I still get to do what I want, the when I want is a bit more restricted but they get that I am getting older now and I have my own life. So they don't make me do stuff like be out of bed early like they used to. But, at the end of the day, it isn't my own house or flat.
Being home also means I need to get a job. I have been quite lucky in that I have managed to get myself 3 jobs for the summer, one being in the area that I want to start a career in when I graduate uni. I have been very fortunate in this, but having been unemployed for a year, going back to work was a shock!
I am also finding myself having a weirder sleeping pattern to what I did when I was at uni. I am going to bed at around 2AM - this is considerably earlier than when I was at uni - but sometimes waking up at like 8AM. For anyone who hasn't experience university life, this will seem probably normal to you, but let me put this in perspective. At uni I sleep from around 5AM until 1PM on an average day, not including days when I am hungover or being lazy (most days). This weird adjustment to working life has messed around my body clock. Weird. I am going to have to readjust come September when I toddle back down south. Oh dear.
My alcohol intake has considerably decreased. Ok, lets address this first. In the first term of uni (September-December) I would be going out for an average of 4 nights a week (don't judge me). Second term (January - March) it decreased a lot as I had a lot of essays and stuff due in so we are looking at about once or twice a week. And in the last term (up until May) I went out like twice. My alcohol intake varied each night. Some nights we are looking at 3/4 of a bottle of vodka....other nights more, other nights less. So my intake was rather a lot - me and my liver no longer are friends. Since I have been home I have been out twice involving alcohol. This was not a normal night out, it was more of a social event with some friends. I am slightly concerned that I am going to become such a lightweight when I am back at uni. Freshers week will be interesting.
I gained several addictions whilst at uni. These were Pepsi max, coffee, tea, chocolate digestive biscuits and curry. Stop shaking your head at me, I am unhealthy. I have already been told I am not to drink any more coffee for a few weeks as it got to the point where I was getting no rush from it anymore. My parents don't really buy Pepsi Max so I am having to try and stop my addiction. Not working. I am shaking like mad all the time. Oops.
I am also getting withdrawal symptoms from my uni friends. Sad face. Having gone from seeing them every single day without fault, to not seeing them at all sucks. God, I am such a loser.....The only contact we have is Facebook, Twitter and text. Bet you're thinking "why don't you just go see them then?". Well, my friend, this is a slight problem as they are all scattered around the place. Panic not, I am organising something, so I won't be a sad mess for much longer.
I am starting to think that this should be diagnosed as some kind of medical condition. All my friends are like "we need to get back to Plymouth", "I am bored of home", "I miss uni", so it is not just me, ok?
Okies I think I should stop this little rant because it is starting to get out of hand.....

Toodle-oo!

I have unrealistic expectations of life
Hello there, buddies!
Okey dokey, today I want to talk about life expectations. I don't know about you, but my expectations from my life are so unrealistic, but I keep thinking they will come true! This is going to be a full on rant cause I haven't planned this whatsoever.....so bear with me!
I dunno about you, but I had this little life plan formulated in my head. Recent events have essentially meant that said life plan has just gone completely down the drain. I am a lost cause.
Theeeeeeen, I decided I would just concentrate on university and getting the best grades that I can - also unrealistic considering I like to drink and go out.....Typical student to be honest.
It is more my life plans after university are unrealistic really. After uni I am going to Florida with my little gang of buddies for two weeks. The money side of this is extremely unrealistic given that I am looking at £2000....but this is happening 'cause it is Disney. You can check up on this in 2 years though.
My plans after uni are just ridiculous. I am hopefully looking at moving to London with some of my uni friends. I know what you are thinking - these are already unrealistic because London is stupidly expensive to live in. I know this already! Having said that, there will be like 4 of us so maybe it will be cheaper? Any good looking YouTuber's living in London? Well heeeeeeey :)
Then I wanna move to New York or somewhere similar after this which is already unrealistic.
In an ideal world I would love to travel the world with a bunch of friends, just seeing the sights and getting some awesome opportunities under my belt because for some reason that is just the sort of person I am. You can already see a trend forming here....essentially I need to win the lottery.....I don't even play the lottery....
I also want to get the job of my dreams! I would love to work in youth justice, and I sort of have these opportunities at hand which is helpful for me. So maybe this one can come true :)
I'd love to get my blog noticed too cause I love to write, but this is so far-fetched as million of people blog now. Oh well :)
Now is when I turn in to a romantic typical girl with the whole I want to get married and have kids thing. Now for anyone who knows me, this is just not going to happen. I have my standards set so high I wish anyone luck fulfilling them. Unless your name is Jack Harries (YouTuber for all those who don't know) cause he is like my perfect man. There is another unrealistic thing cause that is never ever going to happen. Sad Danielle. :(
I have no idea if anyone else can even relate to that really because I just went full on rant there.
I know a lot of people have expectations from their lives, but to do all mine I need to become famous and win the lottery. Which won't happen.
So comment below your unrealistic expectations so that I don't feel as much as a loser.

Things you shouldn't do on a night out
Hello there, buddies!
Ok today I am going to talk about things that you should just completely avoid doing when you go out. We are talking like 'out out here, not just 'out'. That will make sense to come people....if you understand that then high five!!
So I have managed to compile a list of about 12 things you should just not do. If you do these.....you need help. Having said that, a few of these are talking from experience.
This one is talking from experience because it happens to be every single time. Don't play ring of fire if you know everyone has previously made a pact to get you absolutely hammered. There have been several nights out that I don't remember thanks to certain people (Vikki) making a pact with everyone else to get me extremely drunk. If you know your friends are going to do this then you are absolutely screwed :) There is literally nothing you can do but enjoy getting drunk.
The second thing is don't text people. Full stop. Not going to lie, this should be common sense, but when you've chucked a few vodka's down your throat you tend to have wavering common sense, so I'll let you off. Having said this, a simple "where are you" is ok, but it does tend to come out as "ekdjfn dkk skjkdjfd" even as an iPhone user mine still end up like this, and I have auto correct! Life can get awkward with drunken texts. If you take one thing from this...no drunk ex texts. Ever. In fact, just don't take your phone out.
Don't wear 3D glasses in a club full of normal people. Ever. You'll just get weird stares. Yes, I did this. Don't ask.
Do not, under any circumstances, take the standard "I am drunk and I don't give a shit about what I look like" picture. Because you will care when you get tagged in very unflattering pictures om Facebook the next morning. Believe me.
Don't go for a walk in the rain. It's cold, and it's wet. And you will get ill.
No duck faces. Ever. Even if you are doing them ironically (Vikki). Unless you are a duck, then that shit is ok.
Don't go out in underwear. You know what I am talking about here. If you don't, you live in a normal place. Congrats.
Never ever pretend you are drunk. You ain't fooling anyone, dude. Even all your drunk friends know you are faking. You just look daft and it is annoying. So don't. Have a few shots.
Don't be an absolute dickhead at the bar because I will plough you out the way. If you don't know what sort of person I am talking about then you are this person. I am short, but hell I will move you out the way if you are being an asshole. Just let me through if you aren't getting a drink, you are just creating clutter. Thanks.
The use of shitty cheesy chat up lines is still a definite no no. You aren't going to get laid that way, buddy.
Do not think you can dance. Alcohol can dance. You cannot.
Under no circumstances EVER should you OFFER to be the designated driver. Ever. Are you an idiot?!

Okies, so that was my 12 (I think) things that you should just completely avoid doing when you go out. This applies mainly to clubbing, but a few apply to pub nights out, or cocktail nights out, etc. So please take my advice; I have your best interests at heart!
