A year since the last post

Okay, don't even ask me why no posts have gone up in the last year- I didn't forget about this blog, but I have been super busy? Hmm, no actually I've been slowly learning how to use my time efficiently- have you ever spent a day doing something and then you look back and realised you could have probably gotten it done in under half the time? That sums at my year, I managed to get everything done (in terms of school work ect.) and meet all my deadlines but it has been stressful and the amount of time I spent on everything meant I didn't always have extra time for things I would have liked to do, like meeting up with friends more and writing this blog. But that's okay as this year I can try and work on that, I have had such an incredible summer (I am working on the write ups for that, so they will defiantly be up soon) and I have realised that I need to dis attach myself from social media and try and spend more time outside, making memories instead of trying to work on that instagram feed x
 I have been on two great holidays and then on a guide festival, making so many new friendships and new memories, I have learnt a lot of new things (those outside of classroom lessons are the best ones right?)  and managed to really enjoy myself, while exploring new cultures.
I guess I'm just trying to say I have been motivated to try and become  the best version of myself, so here are a couple of things I would like to achieve over the next year:

1. Get a job- I need to wait until my 16th birthday to get a national insurance number before I can do this, 
2. Start a reading list - I want to get into reading more, so from now on I am going to try and get through one book per month, expect to see book reviews on here as well as on my instagram. I promise to stay away from posting spoilers,
3. Try and look after my health- not counting calories, but defiantly through trying to eat more wholesome foods,
4. Spending less time on social media- I am going to allow myself one hour per day,I can monitor this through looking at the battery setting on my phone, if I manange a whole week of this I will treat myself to a treat decided at the start of the week.

So how has your summer been? Have you learnt anything? What goals have you set yourself for this school year?
