Last night the majority of my work went to the Pollards for a meal as it was one of our duty managers leaving do's. I must admit the food wasn't the best, but the company was great and we all had a lovely evening, even though it ran on until gonr midnight and i had to be up early for uni this morning!

 

Too Much Work

I am currently trying to juggle three assignments at uni, one of which is due in just over a week! I don't usually stress out too much over work but with this year counting towards my final degree classification, yeah I'm stressing out!

The assignments are fairly interesting tbh, one is a lab report about body composition, another is a literature review comparing barefoot and shod running and the final one is about examining the relationship between sport and health...which surprisingly is pretty negative! 

I really cannot wait until the end of January when the bulk of my assignments will be submitted.

Nail Painting Top Tip

I don't know about you but every time I paint my nails I get the nail varnish all over the skin surrounding the nail, which means it all looks super messy.

My top tip for fixing this is to dip the end of a cotton swab/bud into some nail varnish remover and carefully wipe it over the messy skin. Make sure you don't go too close to the nail and mess that up too!

This easy trick will leave your freshly painted nails looking neat and maybe even salon style!

They Just Don't Get It

Most people who don't have anxiety or depression don't get it. They don't understand what you mean when you say you cry for no reason. They think you're just emotional. They don't know how it feels to have your heart pumping out of your chest and to be short of breath and can't control it, or to feel like the whole world is tumbling down on top of you and you can't fix it. They don't get that anxiety & depression are both illnesses, not a birth defect. It's not your personality either, it's just taken over it. They think we like the attention, but they have no idea how badly we want to feel happy. To have a real smile, not a fake one. To not have to go through the day feeling worthless. To not cry for a week straight. To just be happy, like the average human should.
