Exams and Concerts- Both Cause A Need For Sleep

Hey guys!

Thanks if you're already 'tuning in', I appreciate it and it's nice to have the internet to rant to :)

Loads has been going on lately, like literally, loads...

I realise that I'm going back a bit before my first post, but I think you'll appreciate what I have to say.

Every teenager knows the stress of exams- whether you can be bothered to do them or not. My school has a week of exams before half term at around about May, and they are literally hell. First of all, you have all the revision stress that you need to control. You have no idea what you need to revise, and when you get to the exam itself you'll probably find that nothing you have revised is actually on the exam.

Then there's pressure from your family, friends, and most importantly yourself. I think that to be honest, I push myself more than my family does- because I want to do good. And I know that cooping myself up in my bedroom with nothing but school work and music WILL NOT LAST FOREVER!!

It's only going to last a week, and once it's over, it's over. Plus I'll be better off in the end (turns out, now I've finished exams and I've got some of the results- it was totally worth all the pain)

When you get to the actual exam, your mind sort of explodes into a frenzy of equations and metaphors and french words that you don't understand. On the first page, you scribble down literally EVERYTHING you remember in the hope that it's right. It becomes your bible, no kidding.

Then after the exam everyone shares what answers they got. And when you don't get the same answer as them, your life no longer means anything. The amount of time you have to wait between the exam and the results becomes more stressful than the exam itself.

But, hopefully, if you put in as much effort as you possibly can and if you try your hardest, then it'll be worth it. You can smile and get back to your normal life (my life is netflix, food and tumblr so now that I think about it, maybe I was better off doing revision... wait, what?!)

And if it couldn't get any more stressful, I had to pick a fancy dress costume for a eurovision themed party. WHICH WAS AWESOME! I think it's safe to say that I was probably the brightest person in the whole building.

I also had a birthday party which was also incredibly awesome. I had so much fun, even when a certain group of people almost ruined it for the birthday girl. That was a shame, I admit, but it's their own fault.

I went out with my class on Friday. Can I just say, to get the cheesiness out of the way, that you guys are my best friends. I honestly don't think I could ask for better friends. Before I met you guys, I had no idea what true friendship was. And this is so cheesy- but I am so glad I met each and every one of you. So thank you!

(Half of you won't even see that, but to those of you who did- thank you!!)

All of this brings me on to last night...

A really good friend of mine, who's blog is here and you should totally check it out because it is awesome, invited me and another friend to a concert. A FIVE SECONDS OF SUMMER CONCERT!  It was one of the best nights ever. My taste in music is rather varied (I'll do a post on music later on, but seen as I'm already rambling, I'm thinking it's best not to keep going just yet!), I like all sorts of stuff, but one of my favourites is 5SOS.

The whole concert was amazing, but there was one song in particular which stood out, and I'll think I'll remember it the most- Amnesia. It was completely calm compared to the rest of their set. The lights had all darkened and turned more neutral, and Luke and Calum completely took over the stage. All around the arena everyone had turned on the torch on their phones, it was such a beautiful sight. Hundreds of lights swaying to the beat of the music, completely taking over the arena. They make it sound so beautiful, when they sang you could hear the complete honesty that the boys sang with. The sight of the lights together with the song made it seem so emotional. I'm pretty sure a lot of fans were crying, I know I had a tear in my eye. The boys looked as if they were on the verge of tears too- and this is going to sound really weird, but it was beautiful seeing that they felt the same way about the song, and the lights, that the fans felt. We all sang along instead of the screaming that we had done before. It was so emotional, and just absolutely beautiful.

After the concert we went by the stage door, and after a few rounds of Pizza, we realised it was late and that we should probably go home.

Thank you to the lovely Tiki for inviting me, and giving me that experience. It was just.... ahh!

Back to school now, which is slightly depressing, but we're not there for much longer which is great. I love this half term, because no real work is actually involved. So yay!

As per usual, I have two songs this week for you.
Terrible Love- Birdy
Caught In The Middle- Kodaline (not Kodaleen!!)

I will update again this week, I'm going to have plenty of time to update because we hardly have any homework.

See you soon!

Fly on,
