Easter Weekend in Cornwall (Photo Diary)

Easter weekend has just passed and now it's back to procrastinating from coursework. I've never been one to enjoy Easter or even care about it much, however, this year has been really enjoyable.

Good Friday

On Friday, my Grandparents and two of my cousins came down to Cornwall. Luckily, the weather was beautiful so we headed over to Mevagissey in the afternoon.

























































We then went into Truro because neither me or my cousin, Hannah, had clothes cool enough for the warm weather. Expecting the usual rainy British weather, we had both packed jumpers!






















After dinner, we took my dog to our local beach. It was high tide so there wasn't much beach left, but I played in the sea with her. The waves were bigger than the poor thing! But she had a lot of fun, as usual, and was very cuddly on the drive home.

To end the day, we played a nice, family-friendly game of Cards Against Humanity. Yes, we're all going straight to hell.

Saturday

On Saturday morning, I helped my mum clean a B&B so we could hurry up and get to Flambards.

Flambards is a small theme park in Cornwall. I'm not the biggest fan of rollercoasters and rides, but I did go on the log flume which cooled me down. Once again, the weather was incredible.
















In the evening, Hannah treated my mum and I to the cinema. We watched the new adaptation of Stephen King's Pet Sematary which was a great but messed up film.

Easter Sunday

Easter Sunday was another gorgeous day so we went down to the beach, where I spent the majority of my time swimming in the sea. It was glorious, and more than needed. I also got some reading time in.




















Afterwards, we went back home and I read some more in the garden whilst waiting for tea. Mum cooked a lovely roast dinner which I demolished. Then, we took my dog for a walk before heading back and chilling with a film night.

Easter Monday

My family left for Bedford very early (half 8 in the morning - that's still mid-night!) so I spent the first part of the day napping.

The weather today was overcast but still warm, so I sat in the garden with my dog and did some coursework.

For dinner, my brother treated us to Domino's pizza, which was a great end to the perfect chill day.



Overall, it was probably the best Easter I've ever had. Although, I probably should stop procrastinating before I fail university.

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...
