Graduation!

So this week I officially reached the end of my three year law degree and had my graduation! I can't believe that after all of the stressful 400 pages reading a week, ten hour revision days and still managing to have never fully read a case I managed to get a high 2.1 and finish it completely!


It was really odd seeing everyone for (probably) the last time, dressed up in their robes! And to be able to celebrate with my best friends :)

And parents..


And boyfriend..


Who had the job of photographer for the ceremony! The ceremony itself was very lavish and posh, with a few of our lecturers sitting on the stage watching as our names were called and we shook hands with the headmaster and head of law at Queen Mary University. I didn't fall!


It has truly been the best three years of my life at Uni, and I've learnt so much more than law. I've learnt how to balance things - modeling and law is not easy! - that I can't leave all my reading to the last month (first year drama), made the best friends I will ever have and had amazing experiences with those I was lucky enough to have met before uni as well! Living in London has been incredible, it was definitely the place for me to grow, and I'm so proud that I didn't get killed living in east London :)

I have no idea what the future holds other than modeling at the moment, but it's quite exciting not knowing what will happen! Goodbye my university years, hello real world!

University - Part Three

Cheerleading/Chess
The first two years of uni my 'clubs' were (literal) clubs... in the third year me and my best friend had a CV crisis and decided that we had better join some clubs! We also came up with the brilliant idea of starting up a Chess Club as Queen Mary was missing one... and now I have 'founder/president of the chess club' on my CV! If you spot a gap like that it is definitely worth taking the risk and filling it. We aren't the best chess players ever, but we have learnt a lot about organisation, leadership and teamwork (etc) from it and had some very cute nights playing chess :)
One of the best decisions I made throughout uni was to join Cheerleading. We have one of the best teams in England, with about 70 people on it total and 3 separate teams within one, with the top level 6 team competing in Florida at the last world's competition! (As you may be able to guess, me and Katherine were in the 'new' team). We still had such an amazing time and really dedicated ourselves (6 hours training a week...) to it, and came second in a national competition (one point off first place!).





I definitely recommend joining a club at uni, even if you think it's not really your thing! :)

Dima
I met Dima at school and we came to London together. We had heard it from everyone about how 'hard it is to be in a relationship at uni' and all the potentials of making out with strangers etc. It has actually not been difficult in the slightest and I've never ever felt like I am 'missing out' by being in a relationship at uni. It is four years coming up and he is literally my best friend and boyfriend in one, the best person I have ever met :) I'm really happy we got to experience uni together as we have had some really great times over the last 3 years.




Food
I am a major foodie, and London has a lot to eat. I would like to congratulate myself on succeeding in eating some super incredible food over the past three years, before my metabolism gives up completely!

Lantana's french bread amazingness

Chelsea Bun - always a winner (get the milkshake!)

Deep fried oreos at Feast London (definitely go to this!!!)

Medlar - incredible food

my FAVOURITE BURGERS EVER - Patty and Bun (worth the queue)

GO TO GRANGER&CO. Get the ricotta pancakes with banana and honeycomb butter. 
If you go to brick lane on a sunday you are pretty much guaranteed a food-gasm

Sapori Sardi is my favourite date-restaurant.

Maxibon cookies.... heaven



I have had a slightly love/hate relationship with Law since being at university, but by the end of my degree I have decided that I do actually really like it and I'm glad I studied it. I still am not 100% sure about what I want to do (there is just so much out there!) but I've learnt some really interesting things over the last three years. Uni is literally the best time of your life, so make sure you are studying something you love! I have had the best time ever at Queen Mary and will really miss it, but I'm more excited to see what the future holds :)

The Weekend

Since we finished uni,  all the days seem to have blended into one mad haze of revision. This weekend I took a bit of a break. 

On Saturday I went to my best friend's, Lisa's sister's tea party :) 

Lisa's sister, Polina who is due to give birth in a month!

me and Lisa

food! 

 Lisa made an ever-amazing Devils Food Chocolate cake, and muffins :) and there was lots of American sweets for some unidentified reason from Patridges and amazing cheese and pickle sandwiches which I am currently craving! However writing this back I am remembering how much I ate... healthy eating also took a bit of  break this weekend.

 I played Cluedo for the first time ever.. and won!!

Then on Sunday, I forced Dima to wake up early to beat the queues at Granger & Co so that he can finally try the amazingness that is their ricotta hot cakes. 

scarf: Asos, Leather jacket: Topshop, dress: Topshop, Shoes: Asos

Dima decided to go for two breakfasts; 1 - full Aussie Breakfast

2 - Ricotta Hotcakes with Honeycomb Butter and Banana aka best thing I have ever eaten

my 'healthy' breakfast of smoked salmon, ricotta and parsley!

food coma creeping up slowly.. 

Granger is a funny one. There is almost always an achingly long queue (the first time we went we waited for 40 mins in the cold simply because we had nothing better to do) but the food is good, Some people aren't as impressed though, when you have gone on and on and on about how amazing it is :(

But the day was warm, at 20 degrees!

Then I dragged Dima to see Spring Breakers - DO NOT SEE THIS FILM if you watch pretty little liars/value your time/ eyesight etc this was probably the worst film I have ever watched, and I do not have high standards (Glitter is wrongly hated). I mainly wanted to watch it to see if Ashley Benson was different, and she wasn't really that different just a very porn-ed up version of Hanna who loves guns for some reason. And Selena Gomez still managed to be typical selena gomez - it would have been better if their roles were reversed. She was a church girl then went on the trip and then moaned and wanted to go home within 10 minutes. 

But yes - anyway this film is basically 90 minutes of teenage girl's breasts/strange gun obsession (for no reason)/repetition of the same scenes/lines over and over and OVER again (mostly along the lines of spring break.....spring break foreverr) with NO RELEVANCE there was no relevance to spring break :'( 

my boyfriend hated it with a passion but there are some high reviews on imdb, which I think are probably because they know the director (like my housemate Ben who says that all his films are like that and they are 'amazing' despite having literally no plot line whatsoever) and because the film does have a 'shock factor' as my friend Louisa put it, of how INCREDIBLY AWFUL IT IS. It does keep you talking about how that can be called a movie nowadays. 

Anyway after that I felt pretty annoyed that I wasted my time/money and exam stress ensued :( 

Then yesterday I had an impromptu dinner party/entire day of revision 

Today was a horrible day, I was very stressed out because of exams and my friend Nicola really does not help at all. She studies for 13 hours plus a day and has perfectly organised notes etc where I am the equivalent to an octopus in an ink factory :( overwhelmed 

i have never used said octopus line before but it sounds like the octopus would be having fun in the ink factory so maybe I should change it - an octopus in a fishing net :(( 

but yes, Nicola calls me daily stressing out and saying she is going to fail, so then I have to reassure her and are reminded of MY current failures etc :-( and today I was mean to Dima and told him to go home (sorry dima if you read this) which I didn't mean because I love him lots <3 

but alls well that ends well, as I had a shower and now I am going to watch 90210! :)
