HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!
I didn't have time to put this post up yesterday so I'm doing it now! Wow it really doesn't feel like a new year but this year is going to be amazing!
So I'll carry on where I left off which was July.
July:
In July I did most of my AS exams and finished my first year of college on a high note.
I then spent some time doing my videos and I uploaded these three with my best friend:
I felt I was getting better at the whole videoing process but that my videos were still really long.
I then went on holiday with my family to Fuengirola. I had a really good time, and the place is amazing and the hotel was great, they were a good family hotel with loads of things to do throughout the day.
Here are some pictures:
Also whilst I was on holiday it was my 17th birthday so I had a great time by the pool and shopping to celebrate :)
I even opened some presents by the pool
When I got back I filmed another video doing my make-up routine. I should really update this because it's changed so much and I hardly use any of these products anymore.
It was on my summer bucketlist that you can see here>> Summer to go to a beach so when I got back I planned to go to Blackpool with three of my friends. We got the train which was exciting because I hardly ever get trains. When we got there we were very touristy, we played miniature golf, ate fish and chips, went on a little boat on a river, walked down the pier and had doughnuts and then went on the beach. Unfortunately it started raining pretty heavily but we didn't let that stop us!
August:
In August I carried on with my bucketlist, tie dying loads of clothes. I bought lots of tops from Primark in different styles and some clothes dye from Wilkinson's that wasn't expensive at all and we set out to do it.
Check out the blog post I did here >>>Tie Dying
I love the results!
I also did another shoot that is one of my all time favourites this year with my friends. I love using Tash as my model because she will pretty much do anything, no matter how horrible. Here are some edits that I love:
In the summer I kind of got my first job thing at a Country Fair that I go to every year. We went the second day and every single year I go to the archery tent because I absolutely love it. I was talking to the guy that was doing it and I told him that I come every year and he said that the usual people who work here can't work tomorrow so he asked if I wanted to work. I immediately said yes because he said I could shoot whenever I wanted. So the next day I worked with him, collecting arrows and teaching all kinds of people to shoot. I really enjoyed it and it was a great first 'job'. I also got paid really well too, which I couldn't really complain about!
Sept:
So in September I went back to college as an A2 student and carried on three subjects, media, photography and psychology.
I filmed a Summer faves video here>>> Summer Favourites
In my media class we could choose what project we wanted to do so I decided to do a music video and so did my friend Robyn. So we decided to work together and we were quick to decide what song and theme we wanted to do before anybody else.
So we got ready and filmed it quickly which was such a fun night. We filmed at Robyn's house and invited loads of people because we wanted a party vibe and I didn't know anyone but I met loads of cool people.
I also started my Photography Unit 3 which was based around Street Life so I took my brother and some friends out to take pictures of them skateboarding. Here are some I like:
I also had a free house one night so invited my friends round for a sleepover and we decided to play Slenderman. I did originally film the gameplay too so we could incorporate them both but unfortuantely it didn't work properly so I just edited the footage we got. I really enjoyed filming and editing this and it's absolutely hilarious to watch. Check it out here>>> Slenderman Reactions
I also took part in the Alzheimer's Society memory walk to raise money for the Society. I took part with my friends and I had a great time.
October:
So October was some of the first 18th birthdays of my friends and I was really excited but it felt weird that some of us were finally 18.
I also went to Vogue's Fashion Night Out in Manchester. I'd heard of it before but it's usually in London so this year I saw that it was coming to Manchester. I loved dressing up and going out and the places were amazing. I did a little vlog/update from then here>>> Update and FNO
I had a really good time with my friends
Me and my friends also booked the holiday that we wanted to go on together this year. Roll on Zante 2014! I'm really excited but nervous at the same time because it's the first time away without parents or anything but I'm excited to go with ten of my friends.
I also filmed two other videos:
Nov:
In November I started a little project that already exists called Dear Photograph. It is made my someone called Taylor Jones and it's all about memories. Here is one I did:
In November we had also finished our media coursework. I'm so proud of this video and me and Robyn spent lots of time and effort on this. Please check it out, and give feedback, the more then the better our coursework will be!
I also went to watch Tyler Ward with my best friend. It was such a small gig, about fifty people there and it was also his last UK date which was exciting. I was a little nervous because I'd never been to a gig but I really enjoyed it! I vlogged it here>> Tyler Ward Vlog
Just when we thought that our media coursework couldn't get better we got TWO comments of Madeon himself! We sent him the video on Facebook and got this in return-
And then to make it even better we got this comment on our YouTube Video!
We were so excited we didn't know what to do with ourselves! This was definitely a highlight of my year!
I also filmed a November Favourites Video here>> November Favourites
Dec:
I filmed a Winter Lookbook in December that I'm actually really proud of. It turned out just how I wanted it too and I'm going to do a lot more videos like this in the future!
And then you pretty much know the other stuff that happened. If you haven't seen my updated blog then check it out here>>> Christmas Time Illness

-18ths
-Little Mix
-One Direction
-My 18th
