Weekly Update │ Travels, Pizza and Open Mic Nights

02/04/2016 - 08/04/2016

So, I thought it would be really fun to add something new on my blog. I post a lot about Disney, books and my favourite beauty products, but I think my favourite thing to blog about is what I've been up too, what I've been loving and what I've been hating. To rectify this, every Friday, I'm going to be uploading a 'Weekly Updates' Post. I hope you enjoy!

I had a very lovely start to the week this week, being re-united with my four best friends whom I spent 4 years doing drama with. We used to see each other every single day, but since we've all moved to Uni we don't get to be together as much and it's really sad. So, on Saturday, we all plodded down to Kathryn's for a Pizza night. I just love spending time with the drama girls, because honestly, we do nothing but laugh. It makes my week every time I get to see them. We watched the Saturday Night Takeaway finale with our dominoes pizza, singing along to mysterious girl with Peter Andre. I mean what more could you want to do on a Saturday night really?

I've also been doing a lot of shopping this week, we went to the most beautiful arcade in Southport where I picked up a few more items of clothing including a gorgeous striped crop top from Topshop. I just love getting my student loan paid in so I can go and buy loads of crap that I don't actually need.

Then, before I knew it, I was on my way back to the city of dreams, well, Liverpool. Not really the city of dreams as such but still pretty awesome. It's lovely to go home and spend a few weeks with the family, but I miss being here; my friends, the nightlife and of course spending every waking hour in the library. Which, is what I seem to have been doing since I've been back here. Deadline week is creeping forever closer, and I probably should be doing some work now, but here I am, writing a blog post. Priorities guys, priorities.

Looking happy, but you're dying inside because deadline week is next week!!!! 

One of the best parts of the week was being able to attend the final 'In The Red' which is an open mic night hosted by the Uni for all of the creative writing students, and pretty much anyone who wants to share their work with people. I didn't read out this time; I just can't pluck up the courage to read out some of my work to people. I'll do it next year though; I promise. It was a really great night, and seeing all the third years get emotional because they knew they were leaving made quite a big impact on me. I can't begin to tell you how quick my first year at Uni has gone, so to know that it'll be me graduating in two years is CRAZY!

I've been listening to The 1975 new album this week, and I just can't put into words how much I love it. I feel like, every time I listen to it, I just love it even more; if that's even possible. I'm also going to see The Vamps next week, which I'm soooooo looking forward too, so be expecting a blog post on that sometime next week! I've got a lot of fun stuff coming up and I can't wait to write about it and share it with everyone.

People have been annoying me this week; especially people who can't take constructive criticism. If someone asks me to look over their work, and give them feedback on how they can improve, do not go off on one when I tell you that something's not working and could do with being changed. I just hate people like that; don't ask for criticism if you can't take it!! I've also been hating teeth this week. Toothache sucks. I've been buying loads of new tooth products to try and combat it. I'm yet to go and see the dentist, because I think we all know I hate them more than anything.

Overall, I really just want to get this whole deadline thing over with. My final deadline is 22nd April, so after that I'm free! There's so much stress, and I constantly seem to be taking naps instead of actually working so I need to get myself out of that habit. Uni's so stressful, like you'd expect but I guess it'll all be worth it when you throw your cap in the air at your graduation ceremony? right?

Lots of Love

The 1975 & Meeting Matty

Hello Everyone!

It's the event I'd been waiting for for just over six months. When The 1975 announced that they were touring the UK again, I knew I had to get tickets. I was so disappointed when I couldn't get tickets to go to their previous UK shows, so I was the first on the laptop when tickets were released. I've loved this band for just over a year and a half. Their music reminds me very much of summer and my holidays, which is one reason why I think I love them. It's just the type of music that you can put on in the car and jam out too. 

On Monday, I was finally able to see The 1975 live. It was possibly one of the best experiences of my life. People had been queuing outside the venue since 7am in the morning, so when we arrived at half past six, the queue was around 2 miles long. Okay that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it was a complete trek to the end of the queue. After waiting for around an hour in the freezing cold, singing Justin Bieber's new track Sorry, we were finally let into the hall. It was packed full of people, we were like beans in a tin, but I guess that added to the atmosphere. Before we knew it, the support act began to play, and they were amazing. Although, I think they could have maybe done covers of a few songs that the crowd knew, just because it would have helped to raise the atmosphere a little more. 

Then it began. The 1975 casually strolled onto the stage and began their set with their new single 'Love Me' (which is such a tune). They were phenomenal, and they were so humble. I don't think they expected that many people to turn up to go and see them, and they just kept thanking people for turning up which was adorable. They played songs from their debut album, such as 'Girls', 'Sex'. 'Chocolate' and my personal favourite 'Heart Out'. But, as an extra little treat for the people who came to this tour, they played us some of the songs from her new album, which were sooooooo good! After hearing the songs they played for us, I cannot wait for their new album; it's going to have some tunes on it!

After a very sweaty show, and believe me, it was sweaty, we headed to the back of the venue to try and meet them. We didn't think we'd have a chance of meeting anyone from the band, but it was worth a try. When we arrived, Matty was smoking from the balcony and waved to the fans waiting for him outside. He then asked if we were waiting for him, to which we all replied that we were, and then he told us that he'd be down in 10 minutes. One hour later, and they still hadn't come down. They really were making us wait. 

Then, Matty emerged from the door and the crowd pushed to get to him. We'd been at the front waiting for over an hour, but we got dragged and pushed to the back by fans, meaning sadly we didn't get to meet him. So, we ran to the very end of the queue and we waited for another 10 minutes. That's when security pushed us out of the way, and we stumbled over the curb. I can't even begin to tell you how rude the security at the venue were, but if it weren't for Matty we wouldn't have met him. When he saw that we'd been pushed out, he told the security to stop and came back to us. We told him that we really enjoyed the show and he then took many photos with both of us. He's honestly one of the loveliest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and the band deserve all the success in the world. 

I can't wait to go and see them on tour again soon!

Lots of Love,

Meg
