What People Taught Me At University

Image
First things first. I am not going to undertake a proposition that university is the be all and end all of victory amongst our species. I recall being at school whereby the teachers imposed that if we were to avert higher education that we would never attain our hearts desires. Since my own path has transpired unimaginable consequences, I oppose this structure. Finishing school without formal qualifications, truth be told, is not as dreadful as one may believe. Sure, we are lectured on mandatory subjects, such as Math, English and Science. Once we are inquired about our elected coursework, the reality of our futures truly begin to flash before our eyes. Most parents and carers encourage their children to seek some form of employment whilst they are undergoing these examinations. Some suggest avoiding this settlement, in consideration of the fact that it may disrupt the progression of ones educational credentials. On the other hand, from personal experience, a few hours during the we...

You know you're a Media student when...

Image
...You interpret the world abstractly, as if your life were in a movie and you were the protagonist of your own conceptualised reality. ...The Matrix / Inception provided all the  enthusiasm  and passion, necessary to apply for Media in the first place. CGI, SNM. ...You're supposed to be technologically adept but you still heavily rely on walkthroughs on random  internet   forums and wikiHow articles to learn how to do things in programmes such as Photoshop , which you should know by now from all those hours in lectures (!)  ...You spend weeks at a time on  YouTube  consuming volumes of information from Vloggers and other non-credible sources, perchance material for critical analysis, investigating the details that these small productions deliver, such as short films. ...Then when you steal ideas from these videos for your own coursework. ...Your best friends are the coders, designers and philoso...

Material World

Image
After a recent progression in my journey of enlightenment, I have reclaimed possession of some of my physical gear. It is truly a debt in my karma and since I have missed two summers of imaginable nights out, nights in, with the girls and guys I became acquainted with through Uni days. Nothing seems to stick with me. The friends I thought I had made quickly disappeared faster than I can smoke a cigarette. This is an example of chaos theory at its finest. Every decision I had made to move from house to house across Nottingham only brought me back to where I began. A house in a nice area with educated people; but does this represent the real essence of me? Since I started Uni, I have been surrounded by people engrossed in their chosen subject, all battling it out in their field to achieve their dream job. They have created a serious change of perspective on my own future, and the chances of me settling with what I want, rather than allowing an unknown fate to decide mine for me. Ene...

The Liberal Democrats

Image
First things first. Get your self a cup of tea or coffee. Because the Lib Dems are the friendliest and most accommodating party. Alongside their genuine policies and down to earth compassion, they deliver their character with integrity and holisticism. Their minds are concerning real issues and their multiculturalism offers you to vote for something worth talking about, in a non-conformist fashion and they rejoice with an impressive voice bringing justice to millions of families across the UK. They would rather help individuals of the nation, willing to work diligently in order to achieve their dreams, than reap benefits that are only going to serve their own personal agendas, they are more pragmatic than the other parties. For example they are huge supporters of creative enterprises and are big on education, in a more cultivating progression as opposed to the adversity of the Labour and Conservative constitutions. Moreover they fancy teaching etiquette in schools to refrain sex...

The Guilt Trip

Image
We have all been there. Not utterly sure where we are going, who we are actually associating with, what we are doing with our lives, perchance what we want... Furthermore,  it being a perennial  adventure, with our ambitions churning and our aspirations imaginatively  soaring for audacity , it would now seem an ever more presenting task of us to lead the way to an improved version of the future. So what gives? Is it the insurmountable pressure that takes us away from our demise? Is it our souls guiding us or a higher source? Well this is where it begins. The question is clearly that, and we are at no solid conclusions. We cannot continue to blame our selves for the unknown personifications of anxiety and synchronicity  that forever flows on a timeless and formless condition.  It is alluring how so many of us do not appear to be living the lives that we expect, never mind desire. There are thousands of videos online and articles on the web that ...

The cake is NOT a lie!

One of my philosophical musings, today. To make this blog more engaging and readable for a wider diversity of audiences, stepping away from stereotypical 'beauty and fashion' blogs, because that has never been my true sole intention. I have to admit it has been a wild journey to get to this point. I could never have prefigured until now, my reflection has become so much more real. I realize I am no super woman. Indeed, there is evidence that supports what I have recently observed in my life, it is not always possible to have every thing we want at any given time. It would seem there are not enough hours in the day! :') I particularly find joy from discussing extensively around the topics of spirituality, well-being and alternative medicine, such as spirit-science, which you may regard as a hoax or fairly stated ill-informed. None the less, I do consider its legitimacy, for its appeal is personal to my own experiences of life and since I am exploring the many faiths ...
