University Room Tour
Today I thought I would show you some pictures of my room at university, in September I shall be moving into a student house so will have a different room. My room was ensuite and on the ground floor right by the entrance to my block. This was slightly annoying when people decided to make a load of noise at 3am on the way back from a night out but I invested in some ear plugs so I didn't have to listen to any more drunken conversations!
Under my desk area I kept my printer, laundry basket and a little draw unit that had cleaning stuff in and towards the end of the year ended up being the home of loads of random things that I shoved there as there was nowhere else to put them.
At the start of the year I just had photos I'd printed on my notice board but once I started to collect little keepsakes over the year like tickets I decided to make a kinda collage on my notice board of all the things I had done in the year. Along with pictures of my cats of course (self confessed crazy cat lady)!
This shelf was were I kept all of my uni work and books along with books to read in my spare time which I didn't ever get round to reading. You may also have spotted quite a few owl related products!
At the start of 1st year I just kept all my makeup in a large makeup bag but after Christmas I decided to invest in some Muji storage, I'm so glad I did as it's a great way to organise my makeup and quite a few people have said how neat and tidy it looks. I also keep my No.7 mirror on my desk for doing my makeup, the light comes in especially handy for nights out and I'll definitely be using it more next year as we'll all be fighting over the bathroom mirror when we go out!
Near the door I had a large notice board where I had a term calendar, poster and photos. I blue tacked the photos on as I didn't have enough pins but they were always falling down! I'd definitely recommend taking lots of photos as it's a great way to fill up space and make your room feel more like home.
All in all I'm going to miss my little uni room next year and my ensuite! In September I'll probably do a room tour of my new room.
If you have any university room tour posts I'd love to read them, they're always a good place for inspiration so leave me links.

A Quick Catch Up
I'm finally back to blogging after not blogging since September! The main reason for my absence was starting university, it took me a while to settle in and once I was settled I wasn't really sure whether I still wanted to blog partly because I felt I couldn't really take good pictures as my room was very dark and partly because I didn't want people from university finding the blog but now that doesn't matter so much as I have now told some of my closer friends.
During my exam season at uni I started to miss blogging and so decided that once my first year was over that I will start again. So here I am, hopefully I'll be blogging a lot more from now on. I'm also thinking about doing a couple of posts about university and my experience so far which may help others who are considering going off to uni or are starting in September.
I feel like this summer is going to go really quick I've already had about three weeks off and all I seem to have done is play Sims and watch TV, surprisingly I've got quite into the world cup, I never normally watch football but I've found myself watching most of the games this past weekend. I have no real plans for summer, I am on the look out for a job for some extra money but if not I'll probably just end up spending the summer reading all the books I never had time to read whilst at uni!

Trip to London
Recently my friends and I went on a mini break to London in late June and I thought I would share a couple of photos of what we got up too. This post was meant to go up nearer the time that we went but I never got round to sorting it out, but better late than never.
On the first day we headed towards M and M world as none of us had been, in all honesty none of us thought it was that great but it was still fun to explore.
We then visited Trafalgar Square which we all really enjoyed, it was nice to just be able to sit and relax
The Second day we decided to visit Buckingham Palace as not all of us had been there before, it was very busy but was still worth doing.
The rest of day two and some of day three weren't quite so fun , I ended up getting ill while we were in Primark Oxford Street which wasn't fun so we headed back to our hotel early. The next morning was spent in the hotel room, my friends were great at looking after me though and even danced a Gangham Style to cheer me up, I won't insert the video as they probably would never talk to me again.
We did however go to the theatre to watch Mamma Mia in the evening as I refused to miss out on going and felt a lot better by the afternoon. On the way to the theatre we popped into Boots to do some shopping and somehow lost track of time so had to rush to the theatre and run up the stairs, we were in the balcony area so there were a lot of stairs! But we made it and thoroughly enjoyed the show so I would definitely recommend it to you all.
Have you been anywhere exciting this summer? I'd love to read about any holidays if you have done a blogpost on them.
