Dear Mum,

 I want to take this time today to thank you for being my mum. As of late, I have been attempting to show a little more gratitude but I always seem to forget to thank you for, well, just being you I guess...

 Thank you for supporting me everyday. You always ask me if I have had a good day at school and you always remember if I have an important exam so that you an ask me how it went. I have always been able to speak to you about anything because I know that you will listen and I am really thankful for that.

 Thank you for supporting me when it's been difficult. When you and Dad split it was always going to be hard for all of us but thank you for making me feel better. Thank you for that awesome song session after my fist break up two years ago (has it really been that long?!) and thank you for helping me out of my 'spiralling circle of nothingness'. From school to dance to home life you have always been there to support me.

 Thank you for doing the practical things. You do the washing, drying, cleaning, cooking, tidying the house, shopping and on top of all that caring for us. I'm sorry that my bedroom is always a mess and I can never seem to remember to put my stuff in the dishwasher or put my lunch box on the side. But know this: I am truly amazed by how much you do and it makes me really scared about growing up and leaving home.

 Thank you for giving me opportunities. When I'm older, I will be able to look back on my childhood and smile because I have done truly amazing things. Shows and performances, the Warner Brothers Studios, Wembley Arena and so many other school trips. Oh and the family holidays (like Butlins - gosh I love Butlins) that you have put money towards and taken me there. Thank you.

 Thank you for my upbringing. You have been the most kind yet stern mother that I could ever have asked for. You have taught me so many things and I would never want to change my childhood.

 Thank you for being my mum.

5 Easy Summer Productivity Tips

Hey guys,  I have recently realised that I have wasted a hell of a lot of my extensive summer. I finished school back in June and to be honest, I haven't really done a lot since then. So, in an effort to stop procrastinating, I have included some new things into my daily life to help me be more productive. 1. Get a planner. Throughout the school year, I always have a planner and write down everything I need to do during the day. Why have I never thought of keeping one during the summer? I find when I physically write down a to do list, I am much more likely to get stuff done. 2. Have a timetable.   This one will probably be more controversial. Now, I'm not saying plan out your entire day minute by minute. However, if you say to yourself 'I am going to read one chapter of my Literature text at 8 pm' and write it down, it will make sure you stay on top of things and get them done. 3. Have fun.   Go outside, spend time with family and friends and do thing...

The Day Before GCSEs | Thought Bubble

Hey guys I take my first GCSE exam on Tuesday. In some ways, I am terrified. The thought that two years of solid hard work could all go down the drain if I have a bad day is scary. I have bombed mock exams in the past so I know what it feels like to walk out of the exam hall feeling like it's all gone wrong. But to do that on the real exams would be devastating. However, I am feeling reasonably calm. I started revising pretty much since the start of year 10. I have done past paper after past paper, made thousands of flashcards (quite literally) and have covered my walls in revision from floor to ceiling. I feel prepared. This is strange. I always thought I would be really stressed in the run up to exams. But honestly, it's a day before and I'm feeling fine. Last week, I posted a list of non-school related things that I wanted to achieve during the exam period. I have already started on some of them. It feels nice to allow myself time off despite t...

5 things to do before a new school term

Hello In England, the school year is split into 3 terms and 6 half terms. At the end of each term there is a two week break. At the end of this break I like to do a few things to get ready for the new term. 1. Sort out my pencil case. At the end of the term, I am usually left with a pencil case full of pens that don't work. So I just swap out the old ones with new ones. The last thing you want is to go back to school after Christmas with 7 pens that have all run out. 2. Re-organise my school stuff. I put all of my books in one place, stock up on equipment, put revision in folders etc. 3. Tidy my bedroom. Completely sort it out. I get rid of all of the things that I don't use or don't need and re-organise everything else.This only needs to be done 3-4 times per school year. 4. Get a lot of sleep. After all, it is the holidays. I tend to loose a lot of sleep during the school week so I try to get as much sleep as humanly possible in the holidays. 5. Quickly review...
