Girls (or guys too, actually):
when ordering band t-shirts from America that you want to be a little bit on the loose side (so I can roll up the sleeves or wear it slightly off-the-shoulder), yet still slightly fitted, should you go for your own size (in this case ‘small’ because I think it’s a girls one - if it’s a guys it would probably be ‘xs’), or a size up?
Thank you kindly.

'There is nothing worse than wasted talent'
The guy driving my taxi told me this today.
I had already told him that I was studying law and he asked me if that was where my talents lay, in the knowledge of law. He said that he assumed I was good at debating and communicating. I kind of agreed but told him that my heart didn’t lie there and that in school I’d won awards for English and Drama, but my teachers had encouraged me to...

“We’re only ever truly happy for 15 minutes once in a while.”
– ‘Emma’, All New People, written by and starring Zach Braff and directed by Peter DuBois
One of the most real and touching theatre pieces I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Braff is a hugely underrated writer.

Gok's Teens: The Naked Truth
I honestly believe that this programme is a heartfelt, genuine campaign to help vulnerable teenagers (and indeed, society) realise that bullying and the low self-esteem that it causes are far from acceptable.
It’s about time that we accepted that bullying is not an inherent part of adolescence, but is something that should not be tolerated and must be tackled head on. The anxiety and...

recognition
it never ceases to amaze me how certain sounds or smells can bring back so many memories. long forgotten memories of people and places that i haven’t even thought about in a very long time.
it’s nice. it just makes me a little bit nostalgic.

Top five regrets of the dying
nevver:
I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.
I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
I wish that I had let myself be happier.

I’m already late (in terms of the deadline I set myself) for finishing the first chapter of my dissertation because I had to redo part of it. I’d started this weekend off so well, working really hard on Thursday night and all day Friday, but yesterday and today have been a disaster.
I need to pull my socks up, but I just can’t work at home. If this isn’t completed by...

Detox.
I’ve been overdosing on the tea lately, so I’m not drinking any caffeine for the next week. I’ve known for years that caffeine makes me fidgety and unable to concentrate, which is part of the reason that I don’t drink coffee or energy drinks (yeah, seriously; tea is my one true vice). If I have any real desire to actually get a decent grade for this degree, I need to be...

Discoveries
After only recently coming across the concept of synesthesia, I think I might have it. This explains a lot about me - I’ve always been fascinated by time periods because I have always been able to visualise history and timelines in my head. For example, when I think about my life, I can imagine a chronologically organised dated timescale with notable events from my life on it. This has never...

Nicest.
Today, a lady in a shop told me that I had lovely skin. Considering that I’ve had problems with acne since I was 13 and it took until I was 18 to find medication that could manage it (and that still doesn’t stop the occasional break out), I felt elated.

Yeah, I think just getting back into it would probably be the best way. I used to be okay (I did a cookery class in 6th year at school to try to learn :|) but after a pizza base disaster (seriously) I just kind of gave up all hope. I want to be a Nigella style domestic goddess, so I think I just need to man up and try…

I really need to learn to cook properly.
I love food and I’m meant to eat at more regular intervals than most people because I’m prone to hypoglycaemia but I use the ‘I’m a rubbish cook’ excuse to not do so. This usually ends up in me turning into an even more uncoordinated clumsy mess than usual. When I do my own food shopping I never know where to begin and it just...
