Before I started this list, I hadn’t really thought of things I had achieved, I was just moving along with everything and not taking anything into account. I didn’t really realize what I had managed to do in life, and I didn’t stop to take it all in. When I actually started writing my bucket list with the things I wanted to do, I then realized that I had done some of the things already, and that I should have been more proud of myself. That was always my problem, especially the last few years. I had been tied down in something that clearly wasn’t going anywhere, and I got stuck in the same routine. For too long I have felt unworthy and insecure, which is ironic considering that I was meant to be in a relationship during this time. Surely being in a relationship should make you feel good about yourself, and you should be at your best during this time. For me it was the opposite. I was at my lowest and I had no motivation, all my dreams had swindled. Looking back now and coming out of this stage, you would think I would feel even weaker. But it’s the opposite I feel strong again and empowered. So here is a list of the things I have managed to achieve (And yes! I am bigging myself up here! – But you should big yourself up and spur yourself on, you get one life.. live it)
Donate Blood
This isn’t going to seem like some massive goal for some people. But to me it is. I became a blood donor last year, it is something I always knew I would do. I have always wanted to help others, and giving blood is a simple and easy way to do this. You could be saving someones life, especially if you have a rare blood type. I urge all my friends and family to give blood if that can. It is a great feeling, and even if you feel a little shitty after you feel great at the same time.
Have a Tattoo
When I was younger, I always wanted a tattoo, and I was always drawing sketches and designs of what I would want. Then one day when I was 18 I just went and got one without anyone knowing. I did it for myself it hurt but it was liberating, and I designed it myself. It is a dove on my lower stomach, and during the time this symbolised a lot to me. I guess I was a bit lost really, and I was about to start University, and I had just finished sixth form. It was like a new start, with hope and clarity. Since then I have only had one more tattoo and that is a small butterfly on my wrist, I would look to get it updated at a later date.
Graduate from Uni
When I was a little girl, I always wanted to do well. I come from a working class family, and we never had much. We lived on a council estate, and we didn’t have a lot of money. I remember not knowing anyone in my family who had gone to University and it just wasn’t something that was expected of me. My mum and dad always encouraged me to do what I wanted to do as long as I was happy, but I knew I wanted to prove to myself that I could go to University, and that I could leave with a degree. So I worked hard at sixth form even though I was pretty ill, and I got accepted into St Marys for Media. Three years later I left with a BA Honors. It’s a great feeling in life, when you can do the unexpected and better yourself in ways you could never of imagined were possible.
Run a 5K
This isn’t exactly a massive goal, and many people run the marathon every year. I intend to run the Marathon and the half marathon so this was my starting point, it was the beginning of a challenge. I didn’t train much and it knackered me but in October 2012 I ran the 5k for Breast Cancer in Richmond Park.
Learn to drive
I started learning to drive at seventeen and was an absolute fail, I remember being the oldest in my year at sixth form and starting to learn to drive first, but I only did about 8 lessons, and that was enough to convince me to stop for a while. Driving the wrong way round a roundabout was a sign that I should leave it until I could try again. Eventually when I was 21 I started to learn again, and found it easy. Passed my theory with full marks and then passed my driving test within three months of starting to learn. And now I have been driving nearly two years in my little KA.
Meet Ed Westwick
Fancied Ed Westwick since Gossip Girl and finally met the beauty himself with my Friend Sherinne at the premier of Chalet Girl. He really is as beautiful in the flesh as he is on screen ;)
Get Featured in the Media
Since leaving Uni with my media degree I was lucky and blessed to find a job in a small media company straight away. Working in the Media has allowed me to have my designs featured in The Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph as well as on Britain’s Brightest that was on The BBC this year.
