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.
