Thing's to do by 2014

I cant actually believe its October, and I will be turning 21 this month. I have just started my third year at uni, and its that time to start planning dissertations, and at times I just cant believe how quickly the year has gone. Everywhere is now setting up for Halloween with pumpkin everything, or Christmas, with Santa themed clothes and tinsel popping up all over the shops. There is so much I wanted to do before the end of the year, and I don't think I have achieved half of what I set out too, so I thought, that maybe if I compiled a proper list, it might spur me on to get going, so when I look back on my 2013, I will smile and be proud of some of the things I have done for myself. My list doesn't really have anything crazy on, like a bungee jump in Australia, but to me, the things still mean just as much, but on a smaller scale of accomplishments. So here it goes, my To do list before 2014; (In no particular order)

• Try a Macaroon 
• Volunteer
• Read another Jane Austen book
• See a shooting star
• Spend a day watching old movies
• Try Coffee
• Go star gazing
• Own a Macbook 
• Go a day without swearing 
• Do something in photography, i.e. take a course 
• See Jessie J in concert
• Finish my Wreck This Journal
• Get a tattoo
• Go abroad 
• Attend every lecture for at least one week
• Join a Gym, and do a class like Yoga
• Be happy with my life

If I am honest, I don't know if I will achieve everything on my list, but I am hoping that I only miss completing this by a couple of things, and I am going to give it my best shot. I am ready to start 2014, with a new set of things I would love to achieve by then. I think it makes for a more exciting year by pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, after all you're not young forever. 

Have any of you done a list like this, or preparing one for next year? I would love to hear some of the crazy things you would love to achieve in the next few months.

50 things that make me laugh!

So, recently I've been a little bit down, about life in general, not being at uni with my friends, my hometown being boring, that kind of thing. So I compiled a list of things that usually make me laugh, to see what I can do to cheer myself up. I also thought it would be a good way for you to get to know me a bit better. So here it goes.

50 things that make me laugh. (In no particular order)

1) My amazing friends (goes without saying really)
2) Vine videos
3) People falling over (harsh, but we all laugh)
4) People who have bad camel toe (like what is that?)
5) The phrase Gator Down from The princess and the frog (Great when someone's drunkenly fallen over)

I have actually found this to be a really useful technique, when I've been feeling a bit low, or bored or upset. It makes me realise there is more to laugh about than to cry about. And by looking at my list I've watched, or seen or done some of the things that make me laugh most. Happiness is made at home.
