Blasting in my Earphones

I am a huge music fan, I can't remember a time in my life that I wasn't a music fan! People say that without music in their life they wouldn't be around right now and I fall into that category. Listening to music is the time when I can just loose myself for a few moments in my life and just listen, it's refreshing.

I have been searching the Internet to find some new music to listen to when I stumbled upon the bands Imagine Dragons and The Royal Sons, and I must say what great finds they are!! I am in love with both of these bands. The two images are of my two favourite songs "It's Time" and "Through and Through", I recommend you listen to their work on YouTube because it is worth it TRUST ME!! I would class the bands as Indie music, some might agree some might not but just listen to their music. There is so much hidden music out there you just gotta search hard for it, but at least you will find some amazing music at the end of it!

Reunion, of a sorts

 Top to bottom: Best rice ball in Christchurch, my sister all rugged up, a cloudless sky in Christchurch, going for a walk around Hagley Park, spending time with two of my best friends, braces are off, my mum, a book I found at my nana and grandad's, going through a car wash, catching up with friends, glow bands, Mt Hutt, the mountains which I grew up looking at.

I am now back at Uni after my four week break between semester's, and what a busy four weeks! I went down to the South Island for two weeks for the holidays, and it was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of Auckland and to enjoy the open space and quiet. I also got to spend time with my friends and family which I was very thankful for and I finally got my braces off which I am very happy about and I can't seem to stop smiling. My first week I spent in Christchurch with my sister and I got to see all of my best friends which is very rare since we have all spread out throughout New Zealand, so it was a very good catchup. The second week I went to my hometown Methven and spent it with my mum and just relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful mountains, even though it was freezing. And then in my last weekend I went to Timaru and seen my Nana and Grandad, and ate too much food as per usual when I visit them. It made me realize how much I do miss them. Moving to a new city where I didn't know anyone has been tough, but I'm happy that I am doing it. I've been through some tough times in my life, but its made me who I am, so I know I can get through with living far away from my comfort zone.

Getting away for a couple of weeks gave me some more determination to keep going and studying what I love and to not give up. It was a trip worth taking!
