My Highs and Lows of this Past Year

I feel like this is a great time for this topic.  I'm finishing college this next week and this is a great way to reflect on this past academic year.


The Highs

• Finding a flat was absolutely no problem this year.  Last year I nearly became homeless due to a scam so was so worried to possibly go through that stress again.  It didn't happen and my boyfriend and I officially moved in together in one of the preferred flats we looked at.
• My boyfriend has been brilliant.  I don't give him enough credit for what he actually does for me.  He's been so supportive and caring and I needed that so much.  He's my best friend.
• I got an A for my graded unit and possibly the best score in the class! (Either best or second best but still, an A!)
• I've actually made friends at college.  And they're all so different and brilliant in their own ways.  I finally don't feel as lonely.
• I've learnt to crochet.  I've only been doing it for a year and it's one of my favourite things to do now.
• I got to see Fall Out Boy again and I finally got to see The 1975
• I finally got into university! FINALLY!

The Lows

• My flatmate from last year ended up hating my guts and I still don't know why.  She refused to help clean when the lease ran out, didn't turn up to give the keys back and refused to pay towards extra cleaning and damage expenses.  I had to pay an extra few hundred cause of her and she never talked to me, or told me why she was unhappy with me.  She didn't stay there 80% of the time.
• I've put on more weight than I ever have...and I'm so unhappy with how I look again.
• Finding flats where my university is is starting to be a real struggle and I'm worried.
• I had to quit the job I just managed to get because they were so unprofessional and awful to new people and the way they worked.
• I'm running out of money because I didn't manage to get another part time job after that.
• One of my Shetland ponies, Tilda, passed away.
• My boyfriend and I had our first argument. 

Song of the day: A song that I hear often on the radio

There are a lot of songs that I hear often on the radio, like I said on my last post - they play the same songs every day.  But I'll choose one that I actually like that I hear it often.
