As I started my first year of uni back in September of 2016, I thought I was set for the next 3 years... Little did I know that over the course of the year, my family life would be turned upside down.

I am a sucker for a cute animal as I'm sure a lot of people are. I have contemplated for a while now of going vegetarian but never put it into practise. As a new years resolution I am going to go vegetarian

Being a teenage girl who isn't skinny, doesn't have a thigh gap or a very flat stomach I have always been a victim of the way I look. I have never had an issue with the way I look, yes I would like to

With uni on the horizon I knew I had to be careful with my money, it wasn't 100% certain when the student finance would come through. I didn't realise how hard it would be, all the temptations to buy all

Now that I have less than a week to go until my mum comes to pick me up I have started to reflect back on all of the learning curves and the memories of my first term here at uni. I never realised how

One of my modules for university is called Constructing the Moving image. In this module we look at all of the different types of cuts within movies, adverts or any moving image. We also look at the types

As an A Level I chose to do Home Economics. Now I didn't think that this course would be all about cooking and it isn't. When I told people Home Economics was one of my choices, their response was 'Isn't

Now I don't know if I haven't gotten to use to everything yet or if this is what I'm going to feel for the next 3 years. I thought being at uni would make me exempt to all of the things going on at home,

Now that I have fully settled into my university accommodation and started my course I can say that it has been an experience so far. Living with people I hardly knew at the end of September and being

Moving into is very different to how I imagined it. I'm not going out every night and getting drunk, which I think is a massive relief to my parents. Instead I am having trouble sleeping, something I was

Today I had my induction to my university course. All went very well, the course tutors are lovely and can joke with one another, which I love. It makes everything seem not as scary and fun. We had an

After having moved into my flat with my 3 other flat mates, the day has come to enrol for my university course. I am really excited to be able to start the next chapter of my life and with some great people.

You would have thought that with it being 2016 and coming towards 2017 people would be able to tell the truth, but no! A 'friend' of mine decided to turn the whole entire story round on me. The funny thing

I never thought that packing up my stuff for university would be as stressful as this. I have a mother that lies about stuff causing me to become even more stressed as I don't have a duvet, pillow, plates

As I am sat here waiting for the train to depart so I can get into my lovely comfy bed I am reflecting on everything that has happened over the last few days. Early mornings and late nights... Sort of.

So today was the day of Disney Land Paris. Having been to the Paris when I was a lot younger I hardly remembered anything, just what my parents had told me as it was over 13 years ago I came. Within the

I started my journey to Paris this morning at 4:30. I woke up and just laid in bed for about half an hour, when I got up I finished my last minute packing and got dressed. I left for the train station

At heart I have always been an independent person from as young as I can remember. My parents were always shipping me off on school trips and I knew then I didn't mind being away from my parents. For school

Hi everyone, my name is Elle, pronounced as Ellie. I have been into photography for the last 2 years and instantly fell in love with it! I completed my A levels in photography, art and home economics(harder
