F*ck me i'm in my twenties

 

As you know i love my little quirky books. Therefore i jumped for joy a little when i saw F*ck me i'm in my twenties. The book itself was filled with wonderful little doodles and charming anecdotes about life in your twenties. It really got me thinking about my life ahead.

I guess been in your twenties really are the freedom years and the years your aloud to screw up. Ever since we was all little girls and boys we've had our paths pre chosen for us, we would go to primary school, high school then most likely college . Then the worst happens. We have to choose for our self and among been dam right amazing it's pretty scary. I never choose to go to university and in some ways i regret it, but at the moment i have a relativity good job for my age and i have a comfortable life. I moved out when i was 18 and looking back it was too young, i'm now happy living at home for the time been and it means i get to spend my wage the correct way, on going out and shoes! Instead of rent and bills, there's plenty of time in life to do that. Also 21 is not too old to be living at home! 

What i have come to realise so much in the past year or two is that only you can make your life what you want it to be. For example sitting there hating your day job won't get you your dream job but most importantly applying and even more important carrying on trying when things don't always work out will. I don't think there has been or ever will be one person in their twenties who can sit back feeling like they've got it all. In fact does anyone really get it all?

The other side to been in your twenties i often feel is making sacrifices and taking risks. For example if i want to go on that dream holiday or travel the world i might have to cut back on nights out (a tear fell on the keyboard at the thought of that) or maybe even quit my job. However when else in life will it be so easy to make them decision. Finally time really does pass by so quickly so don't regret a single moment of your life, if you screw up in your twenties its a learning curve not a mistake.

Finally its also one of the few chances you will get to spend that much on those shoes, without having to explain yourself! 

P.S you will not become a crazy old lady with 20 cats so don't worry!

So lets all: Live while we're young

Growing up gracefully.

So i was sat at work clutching a nice warm mug of green tea when it occurred to me a few years ago i couldn't stand green tea. Then the dreaded thought crept into my head, Oh My God i'm getting old!! Well i'm far from old at 21 but i'm defiantly growing up. So i'v put together a little list of the signs that tell me i'm growing up:

1. I now find i can ponder around in the home section of shops and get excited at the thought of what my future home might look like one day.

2. I now drink Gin and Tonics. (No one has ever drank one of these before the age of 21 and enjoyed it)

3. On the same note i now also like rose wine, maybe in a few more years i'll drink red as well.

4. I now like herbal tea (green tea, fruit tea, peppermint i can't get enough of them, apple and cinnamon is my favorite)

5. I now make a budget for the month when i get paid (ok so i don't always stick to it but the thought is there)

6. My music taste is changing if you follow my song list you can see the type of music i enjoy i listen to a lot of my old favorites but my current favorites are Nina Nesbitt and Ben Howard and Jake Bugg. 

7. I take the cold weather seriously and take a jacket on a night out.

8. I prefer comfy shoes.

9. I prefer to buy books then DVD's, if you read this post you will see my book choices are far from intellectual novels but nether the less i enjoy buying books more. 

10. I prefer giving gifts to receiving gifts at Christmas. 

11. My skincare routine is less Clearasil more Clinique. 

12. A day out with my mum is a nice thing and i don't try walk a mile in front of her. 

13. When i see a new restaurant has opened i get excited and want to go. 

14. My purse is now full of store cards and loyalty cards, it once contained just my pocket money. 

15. I have a 9-5 job and my own desk:

Introductions

So i guess if this is the first entry in the blog that is LittleBlondeLife i should give you a quick introduction to myself. I'm Sammie i'm currently 21 and live in the city of Leeds. I currently don't have much idea as to what personality my blog will take on but i'm already getting excited thinking of ideas to blog about. Been the carefree age of 21 i'm often reminded these should be the best days of my life although it certainly doesn't always feel that way, so i thought i would blog these so-called "best days". The main topics of my blog can expected to be adventure, fashion, food, music and my thoughts on life.

I'm no journalist or photographer, I don't own a dlsr camera or have someone following me about at hand to take my photograph. my aim is to produce a simple blog for everyone to enjoy.
