Well kind of, hopefully will be, lets face it, it will not be more mature :)

Congratulation Post!
So I want to take the time to express how proud I am of my main hows, my main bitches, the most weirdest people I know and have the pleasure of being my best friends. They worked extremely hard in their A-Levels, as I am sure everyone did, but these three girls neigh women have done their families proud. They all did extremely well, they all thought they failed but they didn't their hard work and determination paid off immensely.
Catharine - I am so proud of her, she put a lot of effort in every time we sent snapchats she was studying as well as having a part time job of being a lifeguard where the hours are well over the recommended limit, but she did it, she succeeded and now she is studying Geography at the University of Bristol.
Shannan - She's a smart smartie. She is one of the most caring people I know, which is why she is going to make an outstanding nurse when she graduates from the University of Manchester. We need more people like her in hospitals, a kind, caring and selfless natured woman.
And last but not least Sophie - She got in the University of Liverpool studying Psychology, after everything she has been through the past few weeks she deserves this, especially as she really thought she wouldn't get the grades to get in, but she did and she proved to herself that she can do anything.
So to sum up I want to say I am proud to have you three as my best friends, sorry not best friends, sisters from many other misters, congratulations on getting the results you deserve and you will do fabulously at uni, and if you don't feel like you fit in with those normal peasants we can always weird it up in the group chat where we are always queens *insert sassy girl emoji girl here*
Love you guys to the farthest galaxy and back

Exams and Exhale
If you live in the UK then the exams have just started and if you are a GCSE student or As/A level student or even a university student you will probably be under a lot of stress, and you will be freaking out about passing the marks to get the grade you truly deserve. In this post I will share to you my past experiences revision techniques and peri-exam breathers you should do.
Okay well first of all lets start off with Monday, I had a resit psychology exam and I was prepared for it. I revised for it, I felt ready, I was bossing the past exam papers and I felt I was going to do great. However, I missed two questions out that equalled to 6 marks because I ran out of time. I felt so stressed and upset I wanted to cry so much but in the end its in the past and I might as well focus on the present exams, speaking of which I have a business resit on Monday, not looking forward to it at all, I just feel completely useless and shit so now I am writing this post whilst listening to the indie radio station on Spotify, safe to say I am on track for a U - yay great #winningatlife - Anyway my past experiences, well in my written drama exam I wrote three maybe four pages all together when we were ment to write probably 5 pages maybe 6 for each question? So that was great, I just didn't understand the questions they asked me so that's why I got an E in that exam. But one of my proudest moments was when I turned my D grade to an A grade in my PHYSICS exam, I am so proud of my self that I knew I worked for that grade I revised extensively, which leads me to revision techniques :)
1. Write posters with the main info for each topic; calculations, definitions, cases/studys etc
2. Write note cards; questions and answers on the other side, summary of each topic etc
3. Write tiny cues on post it notes and stick them round your room and mirror
4. Record yourself taking through that topic and listen to it throughout the day/before you sleep
5. Watch videos online of the topic and make notes (WARNING:IT DOES TAKE ALOT OF MENTAL STRENGTH TO NOT TYPE IN 'THATCHERJOE' INTO THE SEARCH BAR)
6. Read over a couple of pages and re-write the info onto lines paper and highlight
7.Use different colours when writing out information
8. Plan and write out essay plans, model answers to questions
9. Do practice papers and then mark them
10. Create a booklet on the whole subject then print it out and read over it - Be careful with this technique it took me hours to copy up 6 booklets and when I went back on to carry it on, I found out it hadn't have saved, so be sure to save it before you exit it
11. Create a powerpoint of the info
12. Create questions and answers and put them on different papers, then get someone to read the question out for you too answer then for them to check the answer
13. Create pictures that relate to the topic that help you remember; Evolution in Biology, draw a monkey and write all your information in that
14. Print out worksheets and go through them
15. Attend revision sessions
And finally breathers to do peri and post exam. I strongly recommended that you get lunch half an hour before your exam, you need food to focus, you don't want to be in the flow of writing then worrying about a massive grumble gurgling in your stomach, also I know its simply but BREATHE, just relax for a bit and do the best you can :) Also have some chocolate as it releases serotonin which makes you happy and relaxed which will make you more likely to feel ready for the exam, and lastly take a bottle of water in with you, just to make sure that you aren't dehydrated, just be sure not to drink lots of it as you may need the loo.
GOOD LUCK IN YOUR EXAMS !!!! YOU WILL DO FABULOUSLY AND GRACIOUSLY :)
Grab the exam by the balls and own it's ass :)
Love yours truly
