The following is an explanation of where the hell my life is heading…
I
plan ahead, now sometimes my plans don’t always go to plan because I also
happen to be the queen of procrastination (In fact I was meant to write this
post 2 days ago) however my future (after high school) is something that I
really had thought long and hard about. I’ve always had dreams and aspirations,
but I also love that I have mischievous streak and spontaneity about myself,
it’s one of the things that makes me ‘me’. Naturally my sense of adventure and
grabbing life with two hands has therefore influenced what I want to do with my
life.
The Next Five Years
The
next five years may happen to be the most terrifying and thrilling in my whole
life! I’ve recently started working at a local fish and chip shop, so that’s
bringing in some extra money! Every shift I’m putting $10 away for my
retirement – may seem stupid but I’d like to be able to own my own home one day
& my own fashion label.
These
holidays coming in January my parents are taking me on a once in a lifetime
trip to America, as our last major family holiday. Where going to San Francisco, Steam Boat
Colorado (skiing), Las Vegas and 3 magical days in Disney Land! I seriously
can’t contain my excitement!
I’m
starting my senior year next year which means lots of study and hard work, but
not all work and no play – Formal, Graduation & Choosing the Design schools
I’m applying for (I’m really keen at getting into the Whitehouse Institute of
Design located in the heart of my favourite city Melbourne). Speaking of design
I’m working on some different options for my formal dress – This will
definitely feature in another post, because I need your trusted advice and
constructive criticism!
If
all goes to plan I’d love to move to Melbourne after high school. The creative
people and city really just draw me in. I’m probably your typical teenage
blogger I’ll follow my heart to where there’s good food, live alternative music
and beautiful unique vintage clothing pieces. Sounds like absolute bliss!
I
also hope to grow and share my blog with new readers. As I mature, grow and
learn for the people around me I want to share my discoveries with all of you!
Bucket List | Before The Big 30
I
put a big emphasis on creating ‘moment’s’ and my bucket list is no different. I
felt like I had to give myself some kind of time limit otherwise nothing would
get done so I chose the big 30, that’s 14 years (I’m 16 currently). I would be more than ecstatic if I was to
complete these things before 30
*Squeals with excitement*
but…
I would find it more than satisfactory if I were able to complete around 80% of
them. Some of these things may seem trivial – it’s not like I’ve written down
“Solve world hunger”, “Cure the world of all infectious diseases” or “Abolish
the wearing of galaxy tights”. They mean something significant to me and I
think that’s what a bucket list should be about.
