Starting the warmer months off right!

After working all week last week, I decided to finally enjoy my time off of college! As the weather has been amazing this week, I thought Tuesday afternoon would be the perfect oppurtunity to invite some people round and have a barbecue! 

I spent most of the day lounging around in the sun while Josh cooked our food, making the most of the time with my friends and drinking cider in the garden. The weather was great, the food was great and the company was even better. 

We had a bit of a barbecue nightmare to begin with when the gas ran out, but we got there in the end haha! 

After we had all eaten we ended up just laying on some blankets in the sun and listening to some Arctic Monkeys. It was a great start to the summer. (Even though it is still spring it was at least 17 degrees for most of the dsy, i'm classing that as summer! 

I love a good barbecue, do you? I'd love to hear any good stories about any barbecue fiascos or summer get togethers! Leave a comment letting me know yours.

Celebrating

What better way to celebrate surviving two weeks of college then... Nando's! It was delicious, we ordered a lot of food since there was so many of us. We also ended up in Sutton Coldfield which is about an hour and a half away from where I live?? It was so good to just hang out with some friends and laugh. College has been really stressful, it's a lot harder, and it's a lot more hours. Despite having less lessons, the day is much longer, and the homework has been piled on since day one. On Wednesday I went to college, went straight to work, did my homework on my break, and then finished it when I finally got home from work at 11, slept and did the same thing again the next day. It's crazy, but i'm slowly adjusting. And the nando's wasn't half bad too. ;)

Prom

A week ago tomorrow night, was my prom night! It was amazing. I got my hurr did, and my makeup done for it, and I felt like a princess. I was crazily excited for prom, and it was exactly what I expected it to be. Everyone was dancing, and taking pictures all night and it was perfect. We had it at the motorcycle museum, and there was a red carpet, and a filming crew. We went in a range rover evoke, and holy moly was it nice!  Because our school are part of a tv program so that was kinda weird! We had a three course meal which consisted of soup, chicken with veggies and potatoes, and a meringue with ice cream and raspberry sauce. It was delicious. I had an open evening at college today and most of the girls were having their prom today or tomorrow, so if you've had/are having your prom I hope it was great/goes great. xo

What a photobomb in the background.

Selfie!

Desert.

Name cards, and mocktails. We were feeling super fancy! 

How napkins should be worn.

See that balloon? After this photo we went down stairs and hid so we could suck the helium out of them and sit down while our feet hurt.

With my form teacher! 

White girls on the loose.

There's a certain level of hipster that you reach and cannot return, today, we were so close. Just kidding, kinda.

I've been so ill recently, I went to school for two days during the week and Friday night I was up until four am and then woke up again at five coughing like crazy. The doctor suggested that it might be early stages of glandular fever which is more famously known as 'the kissing disease', I'm praying that it's not though.

And Even though I was incredibly tired, I got up at ten am Saturday morning and got dressed before jumping the bus to Abbie's, I hate buses and the day when I can learn to drive will be the best day. Abbie and I met up with Hannah and we got another bus (ugh) into town.

I'm not one to go out much, I just prefer the comfort of my home and since me and Abbie are always at each others houses it's never been a problem. One of my new years resolutions though was to get involved more so when Abbie asked me to join her and Hannah I said yeah, we watched The Awkward Moment first which was so good, Zac Efron is so perfect. If you get the chance you should definitely go watch it. Also Abbie got asked for ID which me and Hannah thought was hilarious.

Then we just spent hours window shopping, I brought a dress from h&m and some socks in topshop and Hannah bought a cd but apart from that we just spent about four hours drifting through shops and pointing out cute boys. We went into Hollister and sprayed all the testers, we walked slowly through shops just looking at everything and commenting on random pieces and picking out outfits. We found some of the cutest jumpers in h&m and in paper chase the notebooks were to die for. I didn't realise window shopping could be so fun, then at about five we went into starbucks me and Hannah got salted caramel hot chocolates (yum) and Abbie got a strawberries and cream frap (also yum) and then we got the bus home. While we were in starbucks though a cute boy let Hannah have his hot chocolate before his and he was tripping over his words and damn it was cute.

I was tired Saturday when I got home I just went through tumblr and I'm pretty sure I was asleep by ten but it was worth such an amazing day, I've forgotten how good hanging out outside of the house is, we used to be out all the time in year 7/8 and I'm definitely going to make more of an effort now!

How was your Saturday? Did you do anything exciting?
