Right to Real Love radio, AGAIN!

As I said in my previous post I had the amazing opportunity to feature on a podcast with Jay Mayo! Well, I got the chance to feature on another podcast! It was so much fun.

This time was a little different, this time it was a group discussion. There were two other lovely guests on the show this time. It was great! On the podcast this time we discussed 'Why Kids Keep Secrets from their Parents'. A totally different topic compared to the last time I was on the show in December!

I really enjoyed being on the show this time, I received so much insight on why kids might keep secrets from their parents. It was great for me. I don't tend to keep secrets from my parents (that much) so it was nice listening to why it might happen. The two lovely guests on the show both had kids of their own, so it was fun listening to their previous experiences with their kids keeping secrets from them and how they handled the situation.

If have kids and are unsure on how to handle hearing secrets kept from you for a long time, I advise you to listen:

I hope this gives you guys as much insight as it gave me whilst I was recording the podcast.

Again, thanks Jay! I had so much fun!!

My Right to REAL Love radio experience...

I was suppose to blog about this a long time ago. I was recently given an awesome opportunity. I was a guest speaker on a radio show - Right to REAL Love. Jay, the radio host was so welcoming and was so fun to talk to. He asked me a few questions and I answered them basing them on my previous relationship experiences.

Jay asked me questions about 'Valuable Lessons Learned From Exes'. I had so much fun recording and answering.

Here is the link to the podcast if any of you would like to hear it:
righttoreallove.com/lessons-learned-from-exes/

There are so many more podcasts. I love listening to them and hearing what other people would do in situations that I have previously been in or what to do if I am ever in certain scenarios. The podcasts on Right to REAL Love radio aren't all about love and relationships, Jay covers lots of different topics from friend situations to work situations.

One of my personal favourite podcasts from Right to REAL Love radio is 'Follow Your Dreams and Let Go of Broken Dreams'. (righttoreallove.com/follow-your-dreams/) I really liked listening to this podcast. I am currently at University studying journalism. My personal reason to be paying all of this money and going through the stress of moving to a whole different city is to follow my dreams and hopefully successfully gain a full-time career in my chosen industry. Sometimes the work you get given to do from your tutors at university can be hard, almost to the point where all you want to do is give up. Listening to podcasts like this gives me so much positivity to keep going and carry on doing my best to achieve my goals. Sometimes all it takes is someone else to give you that push and that bit of advice to let you know you are capable of things you thought you would have no chance in doing.

I am so happy to say that Jay invited me to feature on another podcast on Right to REAL Love radio. I will be talking about something totally different this time and i really cannot wait. My life long career goal is to be a radio broadcaster and to be given opportunities like this is amazing. I can't wait to share my next podcast!

Watch this space!!

Sorry for the Wait.

I am so disappointed in myself.

I was suppose to write a new blog post every week. That failed.

I was suppose to apply for jobs in the sector I would like to have a future career in. That also failed, miserably. 

I just haven't been onit recently. But it's summer soon and I'll be back living at home until my second year of Uni starts again which only means one thing... I'll have no life! That way I won't have any excuse BUT to update my blog regularly. 

So, since my last 'life' blog update I have almost finished my first year of University. I cannot believe how fast it has gone. I remember before I started everyone told me that it was going to go fast. But, I don't even feel like I have moved out of my house yet. 

(Maybe that's because I've been home atlas twice nearly every month...) 

I am so excited for summer back home. Last summer was great, but this year I'm 18, I guess I'm only that bit more excited because I'm legally allowed to drink alcohol. Wow, reading that back sounds really sad. There is more to my life than just alcohol. Promise. 

ANYWHO. 

I feel so much more better now I'm in the process of updating my blog. As well as my Mum constantly telling me I have learnt over the past 4 weeks that I am very lazy - in every way you can think of. It's fine, like I said I will start updating regularly. It's all good. 

Happy Easter!

Diwali, for everyone!

Diwali

dɪˈwɑːli/

noun

a Hindu festival with lights, held in the period October to November. It is particularly associated with Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, and marks the beginning of the financial year in India.

Diwali is a Hindu festival also known to fellow Indian's as 'Deepavali' also known as the 'Festival of Light' to everybody else. 

I've never been a big Hindu festival celebrator in the past, however growing up I've come to realise how fun, getting together with family and friends to celebrate festivals can be. This year I've decided to be as involved as I can with the festivities, to learn more about it, also for the nice food.

Mainly for the nice food.

I wanted to find out more about the festival for myself, I did some research and the more and more I learnt about Diwali I realised that it isn't just a festival for Hindu's, it's a festival that can relate to everyone who believes in what Diwali spiritually signifies. 

"Triumph of good over evil, of righteousness over treachery, of truth over falsehood, and of light over darkness."

I think as long as you believe in this way of thinking, Diwali can relate to everyone and anyone. Any religion, any race. There are a lot more ways to celebrate Diwali aside from the belief side of it, it's a fun festival, Rangoli patterns are painted outside houses and fireworks are lit to celebrate the Indian New Year, lamps and candles are lit and placed around the house.

Of course there more in depth meanings to Diwali, and it means a lot more to some people than others. In order to get ready for Diwali; houses are cleaned, certain foods are made and new clothes are worn. All of which work to my advantage, any excuse to eat and buy new clothes. 


The Festival of Lights.


All of the Hindu God's have different meanings, for Diwali Lakshmi, Goddess of Wealth are honored the most. Lamps are lit in and outside people’s houses to guide Lakshmi, Goddess of Wealth into their homes. Prayers are said to the Goddess in order for a successful year ahead. And I'm paying £9k a year for tuition fees, so we all know who I'll be praying to in the next few days.


I wanted to write this post for insight for myself as well as for others, I think it's important to share one another's festivals with each other, celebrating together is always more fun. And I can't stress how good the food is around this time of year.


Happy eating and Happy Diwali everybody!

So far... Not much actually.

First of all I'd like to admit how ashamed I am of myself for not updating my blog as much as I should. I told myself 'every week, at least one post every week', that motivation obviously wasn't enough. 

I thought I should update whoever views my blog about what I've achieved since my last post which feels like it was posted years ago...

I got into the University I wanted to get into the most, which to me was a massive achievement. The grades I got for my last year of my A Levels were not what I hoped for, after seeing them I thought I could kiss the idea of going to University, goodbye! Thankfully, I got into UAL. 

I am now a, Journalism (B.A. Hons) student studying in the Capital. Fabulous. 

I've not officially started my degree course yet, which, to be honest is super annoying. I've been living in London for a whole month now, and all I seem to have done is spend money, unnecessarily. Sad. I start my course properly tomorrow, however. I am so excited which is strange because I've never been excited to start any form of education. Maybe because I'm studying something that I truly want to do as a career, it makes me feel like I have a foot through the door to getting where I want to go. 

I guess that's all I've done so far, I thought I'd done a lot, but no.

I'll be sure to update my blog a lot more. If anyone is reading I hope I'm as entertaining as I like to be.
