My Summer Wish List

As most of you know I am finalising my dissertation. I have been thinking about things I would like to do over the summer.
I thought I would share them with my lovely readers.

1. Read, read and read all the books I have been meaning to read for so long.
2. Spend time with family - t is how memories are created
3. Get super healthy and fit because I want my energy back
4. Plenty of shopping - find me a girl who does not love a bit of shopping
5. A lot of singing as I finish my time with Pendle Youth Choir
6. CCDS - a little work always does the heart and mind good
7. Write, Write and more writing
8. Start my YouTube channel properly.
9. Blogging as always
10. Sleep Sleep - the thing that has been lacking in the last few weeks

What are you planning to do this summer? I would love to know what you are going to be up to in your summer.

A Musical Message

It is dissertation week this week. So, I thought I would share one of my favourite songs this month. It is called Beautiful Child by Pauley Perrette best known for her role in NCIS as forensic scientist Abby Sciuto. She wrote this song in support of the LGBT community. I like this song not only because of the fact that it supports equality. It also has a community spirit which I love in music, because of my belief that music can bring us together.

Have a listen as I go back to my dissertation.

Motivation - The Student's Demon.

As you read in my last post I am currently finishing up my degree. I thought I would share how I stay motivated in this pressured time.

1. This is the most important one. TALK! - whether it is to yourself, your mum, your dad, your room mate. If you are worried about something, share the problem because if you don't share it. I t will consume you and you won't want to do anything especially assignments. 

2. EAT! - I suppose it is the most important one instead of Number 1 but everyone needs the fuel to produce the kick ass masterpiece. So don't forget to eat and it will help you keep your eyeballs on the task. 

3. SLEEP! - Students are suppose to have Phds in this topic. It help you find interest and motivation in your day. 

4. FIND YOUR ZONE! - Seriously whichever place sets your creative juices going. Set up camp and don't move. It can be anywhere from your bed to your desk to your home so your mum can sort the meltdowns out. It needs to be perfect, if it isn't right find another. I still haven't find mine. I work wherever I drop. 

5. FIND YOUR NICHE! - whether it is many drafts for your coursework or practising question after question, mind maps. Find your best way to study and stick to it. You study however you want. 

These are my motivators to get me to the end of my degree. 

The Final Month - The Final Goals before I graduate university.

I bet you have noticed that I have not been blogging for the last month or so, I have not quit it is just I have been busy with my university studies and other projects which I promise I will share with you when I am ready too. I promise you they will be worth the wait.
