On Stranger Tides

Its been a long while since I blogged, I wonder why. Maybe it has to do with the fact that school ended and i went back home, I tend to get lazy when I am there. So now I have to explain everything that has been happening in my life. Like the fact that i moved cities, well cities is an understatement. I moved across the ocean, I am in England now!! Yes you heard right, England. The land of the British or is it the Queen, whichever point is I am here. It has been a long 3 and something weeks. On paper it sounds so short but trust me a lot has happened. My new school or should I say University is in Leicester, a small town in England. I am still studying Economics so that has not changed. But so many things have, for example it is colder here, more strangers here. Okay that last bit didn't make sense but you catch my drift, I am living in a foreign land. I had to start over, make new friends, get accustomed to the people here, their ways, their accent, the list goes on. I will be lying if I said it hasn't been difficult, sometimes I just lay in bed and think about what i would be doing if I was back home, how things would be different but i don't dwell on it much after all I am in EUROPE! It is still a bit surreal to me but I will get the hang of it. Today was my first table tennis game, I lost miserably but I wasn't surprised. I haven't played in years and even then I was never that good. I had fun though, lots of it. I am now in the Economics society, Creative Writing Society and 2 others I am too tired to mention. It just occurred to me that this is my first entry where I wrote about my real life, not good. Must stop. Why am i here today, I just realised that I love attention more like crave it. Okay fine I didn't just realise it now but I never thought it was an issue until today. I want someone to wait on me hand and foot, to text me all day, tell me I am beautiful every minute. Basically I just need someone to acknowledge my presence. It is selfish and disgusting and I do not know where I picked it up but it is definitely not one of my best traits. When I don't get the attention that I so dearly crave I react. You know in Physics when they say  for every action there is a reaction? Well it is sort of like that with me. For every attention that I seek from a particular person that I don't get I react. And trust me you do not want to see my reaction. It usually leads to bad stuff happening, gosh I hope I don't react this time around. What are your vices? Drop them in the comment box, make me feel better about mine I beg you!!

Growing Up

I recently reached a very important stage in my life; turning 21! Yep, I am pretty old I know. So 21, everyone looks forward to this big moment in their life. It's when the whole world recognises you as an adult! You are finally free to do whatever you want. It's like being given a canvas and paint and painting the picture that is the rest of your life. A pretty exciting moment right? wrong! Well at least for me anyway. I mean at first I was psyched, I was finally 21. What could go wrong? And then I sat down and thought, I am 21. I am in my 20s and I have nothing to show for it. Over two decades I have been on earth and I hadn't even finished school yet! It was a nightmare. My friend called it an 'early mid-life crisis'. Of  course right now I am feeling a lot better about the whole thing, I mean I am still freaking out just a little bit but I will be ok. The point I am trying to make is even though growing up is great and everything, it can also be scary. The older...

Cancelled!

Have you ever been excited to share with a friend a new project, be it a movie, song, TED Talk, etc by your favourite celebrity only to be shut down by said friend because we have 'cancelled' the person? Saaaame! I remember a few weeks back one of my friends was super excited about this new Tyler Perry movie and I had to educate her real quick about how we had cancelled him. She was obviously not happy. But this new habit, often referred to as cancel culture is becoming increasingly popular. With the COVID19 lockdowns in several countries, people had so much time on their hands that they started scrutinizing their love for celebrities which resulted in many of them being cancelled .  So what is cancel culture ? This refers to the practice of withdrawing support for public figures and companies after they have done or said something considered to e objectionable or offensive. It usually happens on social media, specifically Twitter where users are ready with receipts to prove ...

'Tis the season...

Is it just me or does Christmas seem to come earlier every year? Literally as soon as October ends you start seeing the signs: Christmas sales green and red everywhere Christmas cards invading the cards section (I almost feel bad for anyone who has a birthday during this time, its nearly impossible to find a birthday card!) Christmas themed food/drinks and of course CHRISTMAS TREES!! It's like a freaking epidemic! Christmas has now turned from a Christian holiday celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ to a marketing gimmick for shops to make money! It is now one of the most commercialised holidays in the world! It's no longer about singing Christmas carols, acting out plays and actually going to church. It's now about who cooks the best Christmas dinner or who gives the best Christmas gift or who rocks the best Christmas sweater! It has become so terrible that we get into debt just so that we can have that special 'Christmas' with all the unnecessary cake...
