The time of our lives

Friday 5 September 2014

So, somehow it's now September, and August is over, and we're trying to cling onto the lingering little bits of summer? Like what? When did that happen? I feel like I blinked and the summer is already coming to an end.
August was a crazy roller coaster of a month, that was just completely jam packed with stuff! The month began with me still being in the magic that is Walt Disney World. It was literally the trip of a life time, absolutely wonderful and amazing. We came home, and well, at times it felt like insanity ruled! I suffered from really bad jet lag for over a week after coming home, yet in that time I somehow managed to pass my theory test (!!!!) and get into Uni (!!!) As you can imagine that was one pretty mind boggling week, to say the least. The last few weeks after that have been jam packed too, visiting lots of different cities, catching up with people and also trying to stay afloat whilst dealing with some interesting (tough) personal stuff. Yeah, exhausted kinda describes me perfectly.  
Looking back August feels like one utterly bizarre month, yet I wouldn't change it for the world, no matter how hard, crazy or just plain tiring things got, (jet lag, i'm looking at you) there were some life changing and wonderful and magical and hilarious moments, and those I will treasure forever.
All of this kinda lead to a rather full and busy Instagram feed during August, I doubt I've ever posted so much. But I'm guessing that September may even be just as busy, as in a few short weeks I move up to Nottingham to start the next chapter of my life, at Uni! So if you want to follow my day to day adventures, inspiration and outfits then make sure to follow me in instaworld to keep up! Holljc, is my user name or you can click, here
