What I won't miss - Restrictions.


I won't miss the restrictions that in place whilst living at home - fair enough they are there for my safety ect, but it will be nice to have some freedom come september time. Do everything for myself, the only person I would need to rely on then is myself, oh and my other flat mates - but there are very few limitations at university than comparing to home. It will also be nice to know, that if I mess up - then its my fault, no more blaming it on anyone else, I need to take the brunt of it.

Facts about me - Organiser.

Being organised is a huge thing for me, if I'm not organised then I usually end up forgetting important dates, deadlines, meet ups ect. So for me the most productive way to keep me in line is to make lists, notes, folders, labels - anything where everything is organised together under one belt so I know where it all is. It makes me feel that little bit less stressed; it also helps me not to forget anything if I'm going out. Working in a tidy environment is vital for me if I'm in my own space, I can't even begin to crack down with working if the rest of room is in a tip.  A quote that I go by;

"A tidy room is a tidy mind".

Facts about me - Trumpet Player.



I used to play the trumpet for about 6 years and I achieved Grade 5, but I was on track to start my Grade 6 - I think playing the trumpet has given me such a diverse music choice and what I listen to. In future, I guess I would carry it back on if I gave it a bit of practice again because I did really enjoy playing it.

Idea generation - Bedroom.

One of the main places that I gather thoughts, Ideas or even concepts is my bedroom. Before this photo was originally taken, my walls were covered in pretty much anything I thought looked visual and inspiring. From posters, to pages out of a GRAFIK magazine and even designs from an illustration newspaper. In this place, I feel that my mind can think and in a way work at its best as just looking around can give me a sense of inspiration.

What I won't miss - Cat Food.

Seeing as I have 5 cats, you can imagine the stench that 5 bowls of cat food gives of - especially in the morning. When I venture into the kitchen its more of a task to see how long I can go with, without breathing through my nose whilst I quickly grab my breakfast and make a swift exit. Sometimes, I forget and gag as soon as I walk in there, the smell is horrendous.

Facts about me - Adventurous.



I see myself as a fairly adventurous person, I love the thought of discovering a new place or even designer for that matter. Im not afraid to be lost, because the beauty of being lost is that you actually take in much more of your surroundings looking for signs, or iconic structures that you would recognise than if you knew exactly where you were going. I think this is another reason why I would love to go abroad so much, so I can find out about different cultures and lifestyles from all around the world. Grabbing a map, setting up a tent, starting a fire and being in an unknown location to explore is something right up my street, purely for the fact that you have no clue on what your going to discover, or find along your exploration.
