As a student, I thought that this would be a good little series that I should (hopefully) be able to carry on over the course of a few weeks! Budgeting is a huge part of my life, even though I constantly find myself within my overdraft - god damn you student loan company. Student diets are perceived as unhealthy and mainly pizza-based. This prawn stir fry is one of the many cheap and easy recipes I've lived off during my undergraduate degree, it's super yummy and as easy as chips! (No chips were harmed in the making of this stir fry).
So, I figured you guys would all like to know a little more about me, embarrassing stories - the lot, so I'm going to try and give you a little insight in what it's like to be the walk embodiment of cringe that is myself.
I'm going to start with one of my more recent embarrassments that I am comfortable enough to share on the internet for all to see - Halloween last year. I had been dating my (now) boyfriend for about a month and dressed up in what can only be described as a sexualised red riding hood costume for Halloween, which was mistake number one as I am THE least sexy person in the world, EVER. So I was wearing this outfit and I think I looked pretty damn good. So we had a massive Halloween party in my flat, decorations and everything (only poundland stuff, student problems) I had my super spooky playlist playing and everything was going great, especially between myself and Sion so that was good. It was when we came to going out to the SU that things went wry and I basically made a tit of myself!
I thought I would kick off my first blog with a recount of one of my favourite holidays to date, Amsterdam 2016. My boyfriend and I went for my twenty-first birthday for a weekend and it cost us £180ish flights and hotel! I was so buzzing with the price and the timing and just everything about it! That is until I got ill, really ill! I couldn't walk past one of the coffeeshops without a lung coming out of my mouth. Non-weed-smoking aside, I really had a great weekend in Amsterdam and cannot wait to go back next year (hopefully)! Here are a few of my favourite pictures from the weekend, much to a lot of peoples surprise there are loads more things to do in Amsterdam than going to coffeeshops, so in a way - I'm glad I was to ill to even walk past one, even if it might have put a grey cloud over the weekend.
