So the university summer break is finally here, and I know I'm supposed to feel excited about it, but… I don't have anything planned. The university's career advisory department keeps telling us we're supposed to fill up our holidays. It's not for lazing around, like when we were in secondary school. During uni breaks, people get internships, attend extra credit classes, fly off for international exchanges, and just generally, are productive.
Remember how neoprints used to be really popular? When I was younger, every girl in my school had a little notebook filled with these cute little sticker photos. But now, we have Instagram filters, Photoshop, and high-resolution selfies – stickers seem so quaint and passé!
Today's post
is going to be dedicated to my favourite – and only – niece, J. Because she's
finally turning sixteen! Congratulations J! It's not every day a girl turns
sixteen, and it'll be the very first birthday she's celebrating with us, so
we're going to make it extra special.
I've got amazing news, girls - my dad's finally given me the green light to take driving lessons! Can you believe it? I wasn't sure if he'd say yes. I think having me behind the wheel will turn his hair grey faster! I'm really excited about this – in case you can't tell.
I know I can
be impulsive at times. I don’t just mean that impulse buy that I clicked
through at 1 in the morning (haven’t we all been there?) but I’ve been guilty
of sometimes blurting out things I shouldn’t have. Sometimes it gets me in
trouble, or puts me in embarrassing situations, but you know what? It’s not all
bad. Mistakes are a learning experience! And I guess if we make the same ones enough times, we eventually stop.
