My First Year At College! My Experience + Advice!

I should have dont this post a bit earlier but shhh...! So my first year has just ended and ohhhh my am I relived that everything is done for this year and summer is here! It doesn't even feel like its been and year since I finished school, I even done a post like is last year! Check it out here - Bye, Bye School Hello Summer!  ;) So I'm not sure how long this post is gonna be because I can bable on a bit ;) Its gonna be a picture heavy post too, so lets go back to the start where it all began...

First of all if you are wondering I do a Level 3 BTEC In Fashion and Clothing!

So on my first day the first person I met was Charlie (she also has a blog here - http://doe-eyedgirl.blogspot.co.uk/) We were forced to turn and talk to each other because our tutor wanted everyone to get to know each other. We then had 5 minutes to tell each other everything about our selves to tell the rest of the class. 
I found out that Charlie also had a blog like me which got us instantly talking! We then had to go to an assembly where I then started to talk to two other girls, Courtney and Chloe! (Who both have blogs here - Courtney,   Chloe) We all arranged to meet the next day out side repetition so we wont get lost in this new scary world called college! Although Courtney's has spent two years at college already, she's a granny ;) 
These are the three C's - Courtney, Charlie and Chloe! Chloe looks like shes gonna kill me and I think Courtney was posing for a picture!

We then got to know each other a lot more and found that we all have a lot in common too! I have never really gotten on with girls that great, and lets be fair they can be pretty bitchy! So I was really scared knowing that I was going to be in a class for 2 years with mostly girls, and I really didn't want what happen to me at school happen again :( However when talking to the three C's I felt like they didn't judge me, didn't care about what I looked like, dressed like or what I smelt like ;) ahah I get sweaty in summer! I knew that these guys could be friends for life, and I hope I'm right :3 - see it gets soppy ;)

I also got to know new people in my class, now looking back it feels like I've known these people for years when its only been 10 months! Next I met Sabrina, Tori, Aidan, Courtney and another Courtney... yes we have 3 Courtney in our class! We quickly bonded together and have become a great group and have some pretty fun lessons too!
I've done some pretty cool things and been to some pretty cool places in my first year. And yes we take pictures for like every place or thing we do ;) Some of these pictures are from peoples phones so sorry about the quality!

As me, Charlie and Courtney had a blog we got Chloe to get one too ehe! We were lucky enough to go to In Love With Fashions First Blogger event which I did do a post on so I wont bore you with here but if you want to see it click here! It was a great time to hang out with the 3 C's outside of college and it was the first time I had ever been to Oxford Street so it was a pretty big day for me!

So my advice to you guys if you are starting out in a new school, college or work is...

- Don't be shy, talk to people and make friends! Otherwise people are gonna make friends and it'll be harder to join them later in the year as they all ready have their groups of friends, this doesn't sound nice but its life :/ 

- Don't be scared, everyone else is in the same boat as you and they are feeling just as nervous!

- Stay on top of your work, as this is something I found difficult at the start of the year but once I got in the swing of it, its all good!

- Don't let anyone get you down, because they have nothing better to do with their lives so they will try to pick at you and really its not worth getting upset over as they are just immature. Trust me even though most people in my class are 17+ they still bitch about people and wont grow up! 

- Stay as organised as you can, this is something I really fail at! Make lists, plans and reminders so you stay on top of things and make sure you have two of every piece of equipment you have, because they do get lost or run out!
So my year at College went a lot better than I expected and I'm grateful for the great friends I have made, the amazing teachers and fingers cross a good grade at the end of it! If you want to see what Chloe, Charlie and Courtney thought of their year at college check out their blogs to read about it! 

So I hoped you guys like this post! Let me know if there's any posts you would like too see me do this summer because I would love to do them for you! ^_^ Until next time have an awesome, amazing day...

My Year 11 Prom!! :D

So if you haven't guessed from the title of this post, yes it is about my prom!!  eeekkk :D For my prom, it was a long and worth while journey from choosing my dress, to getting it altered to choosing my shoes and accessories :) Although it was long and stressful it all payed off in the end :3 

First of all is what I wore :D The dress that I wore was from an online store called Persun. I fell in love with this dress the first time i saw it online and knew i had to have it, and so i got it :D I had it made to measure and it fit me perfectly which made me 10x happier :) However I did have to get it shortened at the bottom, but that's cause im tiny :3 I got this dress in the colour ocean blue and i think that it looks beautiful in the sun and really makes you stand out over everyone else :D You can get the dress here http://www.persun.co.uk/chiffon-sweetheart-high-waist-aline-prom-dress-p-1183.html 

My shoes were a pair of silver glitter platform courts from Dorothy Perkins, I done a post on them a while back so you can go check them out there http://rougeinlove97.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/my-prom-shoes-d.html
I got the matching bag which went with the shoes which you can see in some of the pictures below :D

My prom was on the 5th of July and let me say the weather was perfect for it :D but the only problem was that the sun was to bright so in some of the pictures my eyes were closed :/ However I did get a nice little tan on my arms ;) I went to prom with 4 other people, my boyfriend Sam, and my bestfriends Bobby, Tara and George :D and the car we went in was a burgundy/ivory Daimler ds420 :3



Our car, I think we kinda scared the driver on the way to prom ahah he most probably thinks were all freaks ;) 
Left to right... Sam, me, George, Tara and Bobby :3

Inside of the car :D you can see mine and Sams Button hole and corsage :333
