MY UNI ROOM TOUR

I am currently studying in the beautiful city of Bristol and in September I moved into new student accommodation. I love my new room and wanted to share it on here... but it has taken me a fair bit of time to do so!

I finally got round to snapping some pictures of it before I went home for the Christmas holidays. I thought I'd take the opportunity while it was clean and tidy, and while I had a lot of time on my hands.





This is the view of my room from my door and from the back by my window. I love how spacey and light it is feels, even on a gloomy winter's day, and it's very white and modern. I am used to my old, country house in Cornwall so it's a nice change for me.










On my door I have my towel and (very cosy) dressing gown hung up. I have my shoes lined up next to my door so they are easy to grab and put on before I go out.


Moving on to my desk, which is next to my not-so-tidy wardrobe. This is where my vinyl player and my TV live, as well as my laptop the majority of the time. This is where I like to do my uni work and most of my writing, while listening to a vinyl. 

Underneath my desk I have shelves and a box for all my vinyls. On the top shelf I have all my makeup and on the middle shelf is where I keep my bedding. My bathroom and nail stuff is on the bottom shelf. Some of that stuff also belongs to my best friend for when she comes to visit.  



Above my desk, I have more shelves. On the first bottom shelf I have a basket full of hair stuff, cosmetics and deodorant that I use everyday. I have my makeup brushes and lipsticks that I just keep in Starbucks cups. I also have a jewellery stand from Primark and a pretty jewellery box that I found in a shop in Mevagissey (Cornwall) that I keep all my chokers in.










On my other shelves I keep my notebooks, uni stuff, DVDs and books that I brought from home. I also have my film camera and my framed picture of my dog when she was a puppy.


All of my bedding is from Asda (never underestimate the amazing stuff you can get from Asda). On my bedside table I have my daily journal (Urban Outfitters) and the book I am currently reading. 


Here I have gig tickets, photos and leaflets I have picked up. I also have my Socialist Worker and Thekla posters.


That's it for my uni room tour! Thanks for reading.


Until the next time,

Char.

MY NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS 2019

With only a few days left of 2018, I've been looking back on the year and thinking about what I want to improve on and achieve moving forward. At the beginning of 2018, I had little to no motivation and was on a downward spiral. Things haven't improved much, however my motivation is slowly coming back as the desperation for things to change gets stronger. Because of this, I've given my resolutions a lot more thought than I have done in previous years. Last year I said that I wanted 2018 to be the year that I "get shit done". It was the complete opposite of that. So now, 2019 needs to be that year. My 2019 resolutions: 1. TAKE RECOVERY MORE SERIOUSLY 2018 was the year that I properly started recovery after my mental health plummeted towards the end of 2017. I started seeing a care coordinator fortnightly and went back on my medication. However, I haven't taken it as seriously as I should have. This year I want my mental health to be my ...

The Battle Between University and Mental Health

As my second year on my university course finally nears a close, I look back and realise that I've learnt more about my own mental health than I have in the subject I'm actually doing a degree in. Not exactly what I'm paying over nine grand a year for... I'm tired, my sleeping pattern has been turned upside down and the sense of dread looms as it finally hits me: this year counts. This isn't first year anymore, and there's no second try at this year, Student Finance will only support you for one more year. If you fail this: you're doomed. The fear of getting anything lower than a 2:1 consumes me. It seems to be embedded in every student's mind that if you don't get a 2:1 or a First, then you've failed. Now, this fear has taken up any enjoyment I was having from this course. I'm no longer writing because I enjoy it, I'm just writing to get a grade. But how can you enjoy something when your brain wants to die? How can you even be good...

A Letter From My Body To Myself (TW: Eating Disorder)

In contemplation group you were told to write a letter from yourself to your body (and vice versa.) And my God, you were really horrible to yourself. You called yourself fat, ugly and worthless. Repeatedly, you told yourself to stop eating and that you would have to die if you didn't lose weight. So today, I, your body, am going to write a letter back to you. I'll start of by saying that I understand you were in a really bad place when you said all those things to me. And I would forgive you but you tell me these things daily, even when you're faking one of your "positive" episodes. It has to stop. You wouldn't say these things to anyone else: you wouldn't say them to your mother, your sister, your brother, your friends, or even some random person on the internet. So why are you saying them to your body? It's bullying. Be kind, stop verbally abusing me. When you follow through with these threats of starvation, I feel exhausted. You're a very bu...
