It's That Time

At last! It's here...Wimbledon.

It's that time of year again where the tennis white's come out, the blazers are worn with so much style and strawberries and champagne are in everyone's hands. Yes, Wimbledon has kicked off and the summer has officially begun.

The sports elite have come from across the world to play at the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament in the world. And as usual, us Brits are backing our only hope, Andy Murray to win the title once and for all. But will he do it? Will he crack under pressure from tennis greats, such as Nadal, Federer and Djokovic? Or does he have the confidence boost from winning the US Open and most recently Queen's to do it? I pray to god that he does, just so that as a country we are all not devastated just like last year, and the year before that, and the year before that.

I try not to get too involved in the tournament, but every year I'm sat there, eyes glued to the screen to see if my favourite (Nadal) makes it to the final and more importantly wins.

My predictions this year are:

Men's final - Federer vs. Murray

Women's final - S. Williams vs. Azarenka

Who are you backing this year?

First Year Results

The other day I got my university results, and I was delighted to when I opened the email and the first word was congratulations! A sense of relievement went through my body, as I could now relax and start to enjoy my summer. Even though I had received my results, I felt that they could have been better as I always see room for improvement. And this prompted me to create a checklist for not only second year but the summer ahead:

1. Start blogging again - decided that my last blog was a load of crap. So I've started again!

2. Set up a new tumblr where I can post images that reflect how I'm feeling and also what I'm loving in the fashion world.

3. Read and finish a new book every week - this may be a tad on the optimistic side, but I'm determined to do this.

4. Look for a job and more importantly work experience - the one thing I hate about being a student is the lack of funds. There's just too many nice things out there that I can't afford!

5. Visit more exhibitions and galleries - safe to say, I was a bit lazy in first year when it came to extra curriculum and hardly went to anything. And being so close to London and all the exquisite exhibitions going on its a shame not to go and have a look and broaden my knowledge and understanding of the industry that I wish to work in.

6. Take more photographs - even though I hate having my picture taken, I need to do this. Looking back at first year, I have all these wonderfully hilarious memories yet no images that capture the moments. Therefore I decided I needed to document my time at university more because these are 'the best times of your life' as my dad says.

7. Finally, be a tourist - yes, I did venture into London and do the standard sightseeing; Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, London Eye etc. But this time I want to see the whole of London and really absorb the culture and all the different sites out there

Hopefully, I stick to these seven things and you might be able to see how I get on along the way.
