ANOTHER CASE OF 'NICE GUY SYNDROME'

Recently I've seen a lot of hate directed towards girls from men, or should I say ... boys, on social media especially. I feel as a young woman myself, we put up with a lot of, well, shit basically, from the opposite sex; and at times it feels like we just can't win. 

Yesterday I seen "man" post a link of the photo below posted by another "man", with plenty more "men" jumping on the band wagon in the comments. It went a long the lines of saying all girls complain of not being able to find a nice boy and girls need to get over themselves because nice boys do exist but we think we're too good for them, it then went on to say that with out make up and fake hair and nice clothes and sucky-in pants and fake tan that we are actually all really ugly too so we're no better than anyone and we have no right to be choosy because we're actually naturally ugly so ugly people should take what they get.

RIVER ISLAND INTERVIEW

For as long as I can remember I've wanted to work at River Island 1) because I spend all my student loan in there and 2) I'd have no problem picking out the uniform. 

After my trip around America, it came to my attention that I am very very very poor. Not poor as in your friends ask you to go out and you say "oh no I can't, I have literally £3 in my bank" but really you have about like ... £50, you're just playing it safe, not that kind of poor, oh no. Literally, I have £3 in my bank, currently, right now. So, safe to say, I not only want but I need a job. 

THINGS WE PAY 9 GRAND A YEAR FOR AT UNI

Many students often ponder the question of "we pay £9000.00 tuition fee a year but what does the money actually go towards?", well fellow students ... I think I've sussed the answer!

CAMP IN VIDEO

Here's some videos from my summer, made by the kids actually!

I feature in this (as the screaming girl) with my best camp friend Dale (the scottish one in the TOWANDA shirt) 

YAY TOWANDA

REMINISCING

So camp, a lot harder than what I expected but also a LOT more rewarding. I loved the kids, I had never taught but I actually loved teaching, I loved it all but it was hard. Me as a person I'm very ... I'm a big kid really, not the most serious of people, In fact I'm the least serious person you could meet; camp on the other hand - very serious. Do the math! However, it was a challenge and I feel I was opened up to a lot of experiences, challenges, things and people I wouldn't have usually been and that was great, I definitely learnt a lot! 

I did keep a journal, how very American of me? That's nice, maybe I'll look through it and post stuff on here. If you want to know my favourite memory though or at least one of them, it would have to be teaching one of the little 7 year olds to swim. A non teacher teaching a non swimmer to swim, and she told her mam and then she showed her dad when he came to pick her up and her little friends said I was a good teacher and then when she left, I got a little letter in the post saying thank you. That was cool, very cool.

This video tells you a bit about what Ballibay is! 

Found this post I was in the middle of writing at camp. Kept it

Had an amazing day at camp.  Just finished a brilliant radio show with the G8 girls (15-16 year olds) after spending all day radioing with the cute, little 6 year olds ... absolutely hilarious! They are literally, miny comedians... Feeling much more confident on the Radio now and got a few good groups really interested in regular shows so I'm enjoying working on them with them, it's so fun to be part of.

Does doing the dance to Cotten-eye Joe with a bunch of kids count as a lesson though? Or listening to the Gummy bear song? I dunno ...
