Tips on how to use Tinder
Recently I jumped on the bandwagon of an app called Tinder to see what all the fuss was about and this is what I came up with:
1. Don't show pictures with you and a person from the opposite sex: the person looking at your page will automatically think you are dating and will class you as a douche bag and will automatically dislike you.
2. Do not take the app seriously: personally I used it for pure entertainment and to see the amazing pick up lines people use.
3. Finding out who is in your area: I can't decide if this is a good thing or a bad thing.
4. Like EVERYONE: you can easily delete the app later.
5. Learning new pick up lines: you never know when you might need those bad boys and some people have great creativity when it comes to some of these.
6. NEVER let your flatmates take control of your device: the stuff they say and the people they like may stalk you for a while.
7. Why go out when you can tinder: The amount of pulling (in the words of Geordie Shore) that you can do with this app is crazy, you don't even need to leave your couch.
8. Don't swipe the wrong way: make sure you know that left is dislike and right is like.
9. A great way to creep people out: you know those moments when you want to, now its just an easy conversation away. Like chat roulette but has more class.
10. Download it: even if its just for half an hour of your life everyone needs to experience this pure source of entertainment.

I Couldn't Work in a Circus
My life has become a constant juggling act, one second I know what I want to do with my life and the next I get this other idea in my head on where my future lies. One second I'm up and the next I'm back down. This whole juggling act just makes me feel exhausted because I just keep dropping the balls.
I sometimes wish I had those parents who raise their children telling them exactly what they will do in life, and the child just nods and agrees. They have it easy! They don't have to map out their lives and don't have to worry about the constant question that every child has of "What do I want to be when I'm older?" I am now older! and I still have no bloody clue. These lucky people can just focus on what they have been told and just get on and do it, while here I am contemplating life and what I should do with it when I could be either studying, eating or just having a damn life.
But I would have probably rebelled and then run away from home and become that weird homeless person who roams the streets if I had parents like that. I am way too head strong and have far too many opinions.
I can not wait until my last year of university next year because then i can focus on my major and my minor and that's it! I won't have to worry about whether I will get in or not, cause once I'm in that's it. Whatever major option I get into next year will be the deciding factor for the rest of my life.
Pft who am I kidding I will probably change my mind at least a dozen more times before I actually graduate.

Daddy Issues
It's the awkward time in the year again when we celebrate half of the reason why we even exist today, Father's Day.
Yes it's awkward for me because you could say I do not have the greatest relationship with my father. It will be the brief text saying "happy fathers day, hope you have a good day x" and the reply will be "thanks".
I understand that we should appreciate our parents, but it is hard to do so when one parent just does not know anything about you, it's difficult.
It was not always like this, I use to be Daddy's little girl. There are pictures of me sitting on his lap all smiling and happy or building a sandcastle together. I look at these and wonder how did we ever drift so far apart.
So now my little rant is over I will get back to drinking my wine and I will appreciate all the amazing people I have in my life.

My future looks like a magazine
 |
| My ever growing magazine collection. |
I moved up to Auckland with one goal in my mind: to get into the journalism major. But things changed, as they do quite often with me.
The first half of this year was rough on me, I wasn't in the right frame of mind and I became somewhat depressed as I felt that I was not good at university altogether. I went home for two weeks and got away from the city which gave me time to sit, chill and think.
So far this semester has been great and I have begun to remember why I made the move up to Auckland, I want to work for a fashion magazine.
I love fashion, I might not have the money to buy the clothes I want but that doesn't stop me from opening Vogue Australia or Remix and appreciating every single piece of clothing and imaging what I could wear or what would suit me.
So now that it has come to the time to pick majors I know I want to do journalism. But first I have to get the good grades so I can be accepted into journalism next year.
The best I can do is take one step at a time and stay true to what I believe I am capable of and that is that I will one day work for a fashion magazine.

Exam Time Part 1
Like the picture says I should be studying for my exams, but with study comes procrastination. During my great procrastination moment I thought "I'm putting all this time and effort in to a two hour or three hour exam, why?"
There is so much pressure to do well in exams when in the real work environment they don't tell you to sit down for three hours and write three essays in order to keep your job, or do they? did I skip that class where they told us this actually happens?
So much of my life right now is dedicated to study and I hope like hell it will all be worth it at the end of the day, otherwise I'll just end up working at Burger King for the rest of my damn life on minimum wage...NOT COOL!!
So to everyone out there going through exams or who will eventually do exams GOOD LUCK and remember if you study hard then it will be worth it in the end, and when you reach that end you will forever have your student loan to remind you of those long nights studying and pointless lectures you once attended.

A Depressing Thought
The thought that my mother is depressed deeply troubles me, I know she is stressed from her job but I have never seen her as depressed. When I told her now we have something else in common I don't think she realised how sad I really am.
This troubles me as I have always been very close to my mum, and if we can't see this in each other makes me realise how serious this all is. I wish I was with my mum right now so we could just talk about everything.
My mum must have told my sister, as she posted the picture above on my Facebook page.
I hope my mother starts to change some of her lifestyle habits so she will be happy and healthy again, because my mum is my rock without her I don't know where I would be right now.
I don't know how to handle the fact that my mum is now mildly depressed.

10 Things You Don't Know About Me
- I am a gaming geek at heart - I love gaming, if I could I would seriously play a game non-stop for a day if I didn't have to sleep and eat. They are addictive and so much fun compared to my boring relality.
- I am a magazine horder - Only my close friends know this when they come into my room and see my stack of magazines that I have. They are always like "Why so many?" and all I say is "Why not?". I remember my mum telling me to get rid of them when I was younger and that's when it dawned on me if I love them so much why not work for one, and hopefully I will achieve that dream.
- I have no social life - My social life now consists of me talking to my flat mates (while watching TV) and talking to my work mates and uni friends. That is all. I never go out and explore anymore because of my busy schedule, which makes me question when did I become such a nana?
- I am a chocoholic - Yes I said it, I have such bad cravings for it when trying to stick to my 80% healthy 20% indulgent. I swear chocolate breaks me everytime!
- I am really bad at keeping in touch with friends - Since moving up to Auckland I feel like I have neglected all of my amazing friends in the South Island, and I hate myself for it so it's time to change.
- I am really bad at saving - I use to be the queen of saving when I was younger, WHAT HAPPENED!
- I love star gazing - If I was smart enough I would have been an astronaut. I love anything and everything to do with stars, constellations, planets, in general just the whole solar system.
- I am not a very confidant person - I doubt myself all the time and always think the worse.
- I love running - When I first started my healthy spree I never would have thought that I would enjoy it, and now I love running! If I don't run at least 3 times a week I don't feel like myself, I feel miserable. Thanks to me loving this it has made me loose over 6kgs.
- I have never been in love.

Soul Mates- The Host Soundtrack
This is a beautiful song and I can not stop listening to it, the whole soundtrack to The Host contains beautiful music and is worth listening to as I feel that it really gets into my soul as music and just makes me stop and listen. I really enjoyed the movie as well, I just wished that they didn't make all of Stephenie Meyers books into movies but I can;t stop them. I also wish the second book would hurry up and come out! I have been waiting years for it. (A huge sci-fi fan I am, and this book was so much better than the Twilight series.)

Bad Day
Today has not been a good day to say the least and right now all I want to do is sleep but I have an essay to write, so I am surviving on tea to help keep me going through the night right now (I was tempted to buy an energy drink, but I don't like the idea of putting that into my system!)
I thought every thing was on track until I couldn't get hold of one of my sources for another assignment that is due tomorrow! and now I have to talk to her tomorrow, frantically write up my story and then hand it in. I half blame myself for this because I should have contacted her on Monday but I didn't, but ringing her for four hours when we planned a time to talk and her not picking up is not helpful either.
And then to make matters worse I have an assignment due on Monday which I do not have a clue what I am doing for it.
I can not wait until the holidays!

Pink Bible
So it's that time of the year again when Uni work comes crashing down on me like a brick wall and all I can think is when am I ever going to break free, it feels like never.
This year is one of the most crucial years as it will determine what major I get into for my third and final year, and all I can think about is what if I don't get into any major, what then? I would have wasted two years of my life (not even going to mention my student loan) all for nothing. You would think that I would be working harder with all this burden dragging me further under the brick wall, but I feel like I'm not, I'm stuck in the same habits for study as what I have always had, WHERE IS THE MOTIVATION!
That led me to this:
I can always rely on Treasure Yourself by Miranda Kerr to get me through the tough days. This positive affirmation has made me stop and think that I choose how successful I want to be in life and one thing I want to be successful in is my future career, and that starts with working hard at university.
So tomorrow I am cracking into my essay and giving it everything I have to get a top mark to show to myself that if I put my mind to it and put all my effort into it hopefully my efforts will be rewarded one day.
