Ghostbusters Wanted

So I have been in my new flat for almost a week now and I have come to the realization that my flatmates are ghosts! Ghosts I tell you.

Every now and then there is a noise down stairs, so after about five minutes of facing my fear and seeing what the noise is there is no-one downstairs and instead their bedroom doors are closed upstairs.

I think to myself "Oh right they were getting food and then just went to their rooms, that's cool. But how do they move so fast?"

But when I'm sitting at my desk (with my door open) I hear this whoosh noise/stomping of feet and see a blur from the corner of my eye and then the click of their door being closed.

Seriously you don't even say "Hi!"

I don't know how I feel about this whole ghost situation, I don't know whether to be scared of these ghosts or to be happy about having the whole house to myself for a majority of the day.

But then I think these ghosts have more of a life than me since they are never home and all I ever do is watch TV shows and look at random stuff on the internet. Thanks Ghosts for the reminder of the sad life that I have!

 Time to call the Ghostbusters, 555-2368!

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.

It has come to that time again when I have to choose what major I want to pursue in my last year of university next year, and I am even more confused and conflicted about what I want to do.

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.
