The Beginning

Hello all!
Because this is a personal blog, or lifestyle blog, or whatever you'd like to call it yourself, I found it hard to figure out what kind of topics to start off talking about for my first few posts. As in, I didn't want to start harping on about my deepest darkest thoughts (that's a joke those will never be revealed) or opinions straight away because basically I don't want to scare/offend people.
Sooo on that pessimistic note I decided to just talk about "where I'm at" right now, because this is the beginning, or the starting point of my blog. But don't take the "where I am" thing too literally 'cause I'm currently in my bed writing this, feeling a but queasy cause I just ate an Easter egg that has been waiting in my room for me for 3 weeks, while taking a break from the mountain of washing and ironing and general cleaning that I have to do since moving back home from college. Which leads nicely into the biggest thing that signifies where I am right now; I just finished my first year of college.
Firstly: I don't know where the year went at all! (Is that a real Irish thing to say?)
Secondly: I now know that I don't need to bring every stitch of clothing back up with me next year because it really isn't all the hauling around (and present washing/ironing that was aforementioned)
Thirdly: But really where did the year go?

I'm studying at NUI Galway and I have irrevocably fallen head over heals in love with the city. It has such a beautiful landscape, and such an electric atmosphere that it's hard not to like it. I'm so glad I chose it, I wouldn't change it for the world, and I am truly looking forward to my next 2 years of education there. Also of course actually learning more about the worlds of Philosophy and English, the reason I'm there in the first place (oops nearly forgot). It has a brilliant nightlife, and there's always something to see or do.

You learn a lot in college, as I have discovered, general things and academic things (hopefully) as well as things about yourself, and I feel grateful that I have the opportunity to actually achieve an education, as many people don't. I've made so many fantastic friends throughout the year (you know who you are) and I've loved being more independent and standing on my own two feet. You finally get that feeling that you are stepping out into the world, it really is a massive life change, in a positive way!

So, anyway, before I start ranting about college mishaps (mainly the ugly accommodation that I experienced this year - that's a whole other "moldy" post, actually "moldy damp" post) I am going to go and move through another pile of washing (all of which needs to be done because my clothes all reek of damp FROM the ugly overpriced accommodation).

Like I said it's still tricky to figure out what to talk about in these early days, so you seem to just be getting some random thoughts about my life it seems. I will have better structure on my posts once I've gotten used to this whole ordeal haha.

If you managed to make it to the end of this post fair play, and thank you for reading.
