Just wanted to pop in to say that I don’t think there will be a proper post for a little bit as I’ve got Covid again. I last had it in August btw. I have had my first dose of the vaccine, they came to my school in October and I am due my second dose (not looking forward to that).
Also I have got exams starting on Monday *gulp*, so please wish me luck!!!
Some good news, is that I don’t have to wear masks in classrooms anymore! Yay! However we do still have to wear them in the corridor and basically everywhere else like canteen lines. But I really hated wearing them in the classroom so yay!
Sorry, I know I was waffling on in that last paragraph.
Ordinary Fab Girl here, and I just want to start this post by saying happy new year to you all! So,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
By the way, make sure you let me know your new year’s resolutions in the comment section down below.
Now let’s get on to the first part of this post.
My new year’s resolutions last year were:
Get better at Spanish.
Take better care of my hair.
Make new friends.
Be healthier. *
Study more.
* I feel like this is on everyone’s list every year. 😂
Now let’s see if I stuck to them:
Yeah, I think so. I have definetely improved a lot. You may have seen a couple of months ago, I did a post only in Spanish. And I have definitely improved since I did that post. By the way, if you want to see more of my Spanish posts, there is a category on my blog called Spanish.
YES! DEFINITELY! I am now doing regular oil treatments, and using natural hair products.
Mmmmmm, kinda yeah. So I have actually made 4 new friends (don’t worry though, I am still friends with my old friends).
Mmmmmmmm. Lets skip this one LOL.
Yeah, I think so. I have done pretty well at school this year.
My new year’s resolutions for 2022!
Run a 10k race.
Learn some more German and Mandarin.
Give my geckos tank a makeover.
Try and be more environmentally friendly (like using reusable sanitary towels).
So once again guys I hope you had a great Christmas and a happy new year!
So there are many times in your life when you will be in a situation were you want to make new friends. I’m here to give you some real life tips on how to make new friends!
No, I am not saying don’t make an effort. I am saying don’t within a day of meeting them act like you have known them forever. It will make you look weird. Friendships take time. You can’t force them.
Lets prove my point. Ok, you love creative writing and theatre. Who are you more likely to be friends with someone who loves creative writing or someone who loves chemistry?
So I personally think it really helps friendships to have inside jokes. For example with one of my good friends, we will call her Zebra 🦓 for privacy reasons. One of us just has to saying sharpening pencils to each other and we will both start laughing. Its also great for sending your first text to them. Nothing is more awkward than sending them hi, and then they reply hi and you have got no idea what to say next.
With a bit more of a serious post. I was inspired to do this post after a geography class, where we watched a video called the hidden cost of hamburgers. It was really informative. Click here to watch.
Earlier this year I really started to cut down my meat intake. If you read my what I eat in a day, you would have seen that I was basically eating a vegan diet. However, I am not vegan, as that would be basically impossible at the school I go to. I do try and avoid meat so I eat A LOT of cheese sandwiches!!! I also drink Soya milk instead of cows milk, plant butter instead of butter etc….
What I’m trying to say is to make an impact you don’t have to go fully vegan. You don’t have to go fully vegetarian. We all just have to put in the effort to do better. That is what counts.
Having a meat-free day once a week would make an impact. If everyone had a meat-free day once a week, imagine how big an impact that would make.
Today I’m here to let you into a very IMPORTANT secret. The best Starbucks drink!
DISCLAIMER: I don’t know if they do it in your local Starbucks as I am not sure if they have some differences in the menu depending on what country you live in. I live in England , so I don’t know if they have it in the U.S for example.
Hi guys, Just wanted to check in with you guys, see how you are doing! Let me know in the comments down below what the best thing about your day has been!
