Xfactor giving me life advice?!?!?!

Literally have a song I heard on the Xfactor UK stuck in my head. I’m constantly singing “no no n-n-no no” to myself all day long. Its an original song by a band called Overload. They seem to be one of these newly formed Youtube bands that have more than likely been approached by the producers because they are very One Direction/Union J esque bands. I’m leaning towards Union J as they seem to have a bit of an edge to them which 1D lacked in the early days and are currently desperately trying to clutch and hold onto for dear life!!

While this song has been stuck in my head I’ve been desperately trying to hide my new guilty little secret from everybody I’ve seen as I need to try and maintain some sort of street cred.. But I think I’m failing at it miserably!

I also think its sorta odd that teenagers on the Xfactor are basically promoting friends with benefits and getting away with it. On the flip side of the argument is the song has subliminally suggested to me that maybe I do want friends with benefits, maybe it could work as I am so not interested with the ins and outs of another complex relationship.

Its a bit of a weird thing that Xfactor has prompted all this thinking but yet it has and I’ve sort of come to the realization that I’m okay with being a lone for a bit, doing my own thing and having the freedom to do whatever I want when I want.

Summer Goals!

Summer is coming ❤

Life's Wanderlust

The last few days its been sunny, which is a rare occurrence! But this sun has reminded me of summer and in reminding me of summer it has motivated me to plan my summer adventure a bit more! My main goal this summer is to make it to America. It might seem trivial to some but I’ve been everywhere around Europe but I’ve never made it stateside and I even have an American History Masters degree so with a bit of luck and money I’ll be hitting Boston, Washington and New York… To say I’m excited is an understatement, I love travel, I even have a few trips planned before this one but its my stateside adventure that I am all excited for as it will be somewhere completely different and unknown and those are the adventures that I live for!

But before any of that can happen I have…

Summer is that you?

Sun it’s a concept most Irish people aren’t familiar with. It’s a rare occurrence that we get sun so the fact that today it has been splitting the sky is rare very rare! And in true Irish form we are milking it to the Max trips to the beach, lake and ice cream have been littering my Facebook feed all day long.. I will admit I am one of the culprits posting my own ice cream and beach photos up as well!
Sun also makes everything so much happier and easier! Life’s problems seem less serious and manageable 😃
But the main thing is it has made me so so happy and excited for the summer because and the sun but mostly because I’m finally heading stateside 😀😀

No time to myself

I have been crazy busy with my college schedule and literally haven’t had much time to think which at the moment is a good thing. With my mind filled to the brim with American History during the Cold War I haven’t dwelled on boy or relationship issues which I think is great I’ve focused on myself more and planning my life after college! I’m going to take a year off after my Masters and work, travel and maybe even move abroad for a couple of months.

That’s just an example of what I’ve been doing but it’s only 1 of 19!

Summers just around the corner so I’m trying to get in shape as I’m heading Italy with my parents and then Portugal with my friends so there will be many bikini opportunities… That being said the gym can get boring so I’ve started taking the dogs to the beach!

All in all right now I finding myself sort of moving on in my life, there will probably be residual feelings there for him but I have this fear of going back to him, I don’t think that I could survive it ending again so that is helping me move on even more the fear is stoping me from going there in both my head and in life.
