Goodbye 2017, Hello 2018

Goodbye 2017
I can't believe how quickly this year has gone by. It's crazy. It has gone by so quickly and I'm trying to catch up with life. It's been a rollercoaster of ups and downs. The ending has been particularly stressful and I am looking forward to welcoming a new year in. I thought I would talk about some of my highlights of the year and some of the things I am looking forward to in 2018.

University

I think this is the biggest thing that happened to me this year. Maybe. I finished college and got my diploma in Social Sciences. I then got into 3rd year at uni and started in September. It's been mostly a positive experience but there are times where I have found it very hard. I'm just glad that I am getting through it this time.

Cinema
 I've been a Cineworld Unlimited member since 2014. It was honestly such a great decision because I get to see more movies than I normally would. This year has been a good year for movies. Some of my favourites were probably Guardians of the Galaxy Vol2, Thor: Ragnarok, Dunkirk and Wonder Woman. I also got Unlimited Fan of the Month for October which was pretty cool as I got a £100 giftcard to spend on snacks and stuff. Was a happy bunny.

My First Tattoo

I'd wanted a tattoo for years but I didn't have the guts or the money to really go for it. This year though as a gift to myself for my psoriasis clearing up and finishing college I wanted to do this for myself. It was also one of my first posts which you can read here.

TRNSMT
So, a friend (I no longer talk to) and I went to the first TRNSMT. It's a music festival in Glasgow however unlike T In The Park there is no camping which is a pro in my opinion. We went for one of the days and had such a good time. We saw Biffy Clyro, Twin Atlantic, and the 1975. They are doing TRNSMT again in 2018 over 5 days instead of 3. Not sure if I'll be going again in 2018. Already got a lot on and not many of the acts have really appealed to me yet.

2 Years with Chris
On 11th December we celebrated 2 years together. Officially the longest relationship I've been in. No pressure Susan. Honestly though, he's the best and I'm reminded all the time just how amazing he is and how much I love that we are together. I can't wait for what the future holds for us. I really can't.

Hello 2018
So, 2018 is drawing very near. I'm sure it's going to be quite a busy one... maybe. I'll probably end up being super stressed out at some point with uni but hopefully I can manage it. I do have a few things to look forward to and some goals that I want to do over the next year.

Moving Out
I seriously hope that we save up enough money and get accepted for a mortgage so we can buy our own wee place. It's time that we have our own wee place together and that I have my independence and out from under my mum's feet. I've been saving up since June and it's not a lot but it's something.

Gigs and Shit
So a lot of my money this year has been spent on events for next year. So far I'm going to see Paramore in January, Imagine Dragons and Flight of the Conchords in March and going to see Wicked in June.

University
I hope to finish my 3rd year at uni and go into 4th year. My final year. Omg! I'm so bloody close to being finished. I've also been looking at what I want to do when I finish which includes looking into becoming a primary school teacher which is something I would need to apply for in September 2018. This has me pretty excited for some reason.

Learn Russian
So in October Chris and I started learning Russian using Duolingo. He's so much better at it than I am and due to me being busy with uni work I have been going at a slower pace. But I would like to continue it as it's a lot of fun. I used to know French but over the years I have forgotten every single word of it so would be cool to know another language. I'm not sure how useful Russian would be but it's interesting.

Thanks for reading. Let me know what your highlights of 2017 have been and what you're looking forward to next year.
