University and What the future holds . . .

Image Source

It's been a really long time since I've done a lifestyle post hasn't it. Well, today a friend and I were talking about what we wanted to do in life after we leave school. As some of you may know, I've just finished up high school and am now attending sixth form - basically community college. I only have so much time left before the real world kicks in and I actually have to put things into action. I do actually know what career I'll be going after for once I've left school, but I've found myself asking, 'If today was your last day of school, what would you do?'
It scares me that I have no answer for that question.
I know where I want to go but I don't know how I'll get there. Through the jumble of looking into different universities and stressing about how exactly I'm going to be able to pay my tuition is just a lot to deal with. Taking out a loan is the last thing I want to do. Being in debt before I've even hit 21 is just not an appealing thought. 
Do I work for a few years before I go?
Do I work while I'm there? But then how is that going to work out with me being an international student?
Do I try to get a scholarship? But what if it doesn't happen, what then?
All these questions just stress me out because I know where I want to go, but I don't know how to get there. I've been looking into universities since I was 14 years old and of the colleges that I've looked into Parson The New School (NYC) and Istituto Marangoni (Milan) for a course in Fashion Design stand out the most to me. I would think that a lot of these concerns would resonate with a lot of people who have been through similar situations.
I guess in the next few years we'll see what happens, but I just don't want to get in a situation where I'm just stuck.
Yes, this post has been way off from the usual. I wanted to share a bit more of myself with you guys away from the beauty and fashion posts and this is a topic that I've been thinking about a lot as the time comes closer to make a solid decision. But, as always, thank you for reading.
If you've attended university, what was the initial process like for you?

I'll talk to you guys in my next post!

Home Office [Under Construction]

I decided to take on the challenge of creating my own mini home office. I know that it's going to take a lot of effort to start from scratch, but I feel that my blogging can really benefit from some extreme organisation - big time. And as I go along with this journey I want to keep you guys updated and get some tips from you as well.
I got a whole lot of inspiration on Pinterest today, so much so that I went on a bit of a pinning spree and I think that I have somewhat of an idea - however vague - of what I want the end product to look like. It's essentially going to be in my room in a corner really, but I want it to look like it was professionally put together and a place where I can just get lost in blogging.
I think it'll be a fun process organising and decorating my own little area.
These are my favourite pictures for inspiration so far:

But I'm still in the planning process. I'll definitely keep you guys posted on any updates. 

Bye everyone, I'll talk to you guys in the next post.

Life Update | Final Exams and the Easter Weekend

Hey everyone!
It really has been a week since my last post, hasn't it? Sorry about that. My final exams are coming up and I really need to put in time to study. I'm not giving up blogging but my posting just wont be as frequent - especially when the exams get started (May to mid-June). But I really want to get good grades, so even though I really enjoy blogging and sharing with you guys, I can't have it at the fore front of my mind at the moment. These grades are going to follow me when I leave school and are going to make an impact when I apply for university/ a job, so I really need to make this count.
I hope that you all can understand that.
With that said, I can't wait for exams to be over and for summer vacation to come! I haven't had a single vacation since last summer. Let me explain why; since this is my last year in high school, school has gone into high gear and teachers have been having classes on weekends and during Christmas vacation and during this spring break as well. I hardly consider Saturday part of the weekend any more, all I have is Sunday. 
And recently I've been studying for my Spanish Oral exam which on this coming Tuesday.
But we'll see how things go and I'll tell you guys my results if you want!
Anyway though, it's the Easter weekend. How's it been going for you guys so far?
I went off to the beach today with family, it's so sunny and windy here right now. Perfect weather for kite flying!
So bye for now, this was a post that I've been meaning to right for a while and this was a great time to do it. I hope you guys have enjoyed your day, and I hope that you all enjoy the weekend.

Chao!
