One minute it was January, then BOOM it's the middle March, how on earth did that happen?
It's safe to say this year is already flying by and University seems to be consuming all my time, but knowing it will soon be all over is allowing me to stay motivated.
I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!
I've been editing my dissertation over and over since I finished my first full draft a month ago and am determined to submit it knowing that I've made it the best it can be! I still don't have much of a plan for after University but instead of being nervous about this, I've been getting more excited as I feel I will no longer be restricted by being in education as I have been all these years. I don't regret not having a gap year before uni but after this degree it will be definitely be time to have a break and start a new chapter.

While it's been hard to stay positive during such a stressful period of my life, there has been a lot of little bits of happiness that have cheered me and kept me going!
Little bits of happiness:
♥ My dissertation is nearly finished, after months and months of dedication to one project I have something which I can be proud of and hopefully achieve a high grade in.
♥ It's my birthday on Sunday (eeeeek), I will be turning 21! Last big birthday for a while! I haven't got many plans but it will be nice just to have a day off to celebrate and then see my family when I go home for Easter (second birthday!)
♥ The change from winter to spring has made me feel so much more positive, being able to go out for little strolls around the park near my house in between lectures and doing my dissertation has been lovely.
♥ I managed to successfully bake something successfully! To relieve stress I've been baking, I've tried to make rainbow cupcakes a few times and completely failed but came across a cookie recipe which I found really easy and had amazing results. (Here's the link if you want to see the recipe!)
♥ This week I celebrated my 3 year anniversary with my boyfriend which makes me feel extremely happy and loved!
I know from next week, after the celebrations of birthday, my dissertation being submitted and relief of the term being over, the revision blues are going to kick in and the panic over upcoming exams but I've got so much to look forward to!
