Book Review: Looking for Alaska

I felt like I needed to get back into reading and after my partner gave me the book looking for Alaska I couldn't put it down. It brings a real sense of reality and expectations that many teenagers and young adults may expect when going off to a boarding school or university.

Without giving away any spoilers the plot line is extremely captivating, with each character having an intriguing story to their name and throughout there is at least one individual that anyone would be able to connect with and relate to. The story touches on many thoughts that a lot of teenagers and most probably everyone comes across now and again.

The plot line has you waiting for something to happen in a good way, it keeps you on the edge of your seat. It also describes the characters in way that allows your mind to visualise them but also to allow yourself to expand on their appearances and characteristics which is what every book needs to be able to do.

Overall I believe anyone could enjoy this book, its plot has something everyone will be able to enjoy, I know I did.

No Title Post!

To be honest this is gonna be real quick and I don't know just, have you ever felt so close to someone yet also so far apart like you just desperately need to be closer to them and have them close to you all of the time. It sounds really clingy and strange and I've never felt like this before so everything is just urgh really I guess because yes it is frustrating and yet I don't want to pull myself out of the situation because it's not something I want to not be in if this makes any sense xD.

Basically I just find it hard to deal with situation and emotions like this because to be honest I never deal with emotions very well and just find them overwhelming me in the most awkward situations and times. If people read this and know what it's about then that's fine because I think it's what expected and don't get me wrong I love it just I need to find a way to think of it all in an amazing way because it really is and wouldn't change it for the world, Ash, it's just like I don't know how explain it ahahaha.

Well then that went very weird and a lot of you will probably be like what the hell is this girl on about and that's ok because I kinda thought it may get reactions like that but oh well, what can you do about it.
Anyways I may write another post now or soon about something, I'm not sure yet but I really want to. So until then,

Thinking xD

Basically I've wanted to write a post for a while, but really I haven't really had the time or the idea of what to write but now I kinda do I guess xD 

I've been so stressed lately with exams and work that I just don't feel like doing anything, I know there lots of people out there going through the same thing so I don't like making a fuss about things like this but yeah. It's just driven me to the point where I am so lazy that I haven't got out of bed properly for like two days now which is sooo bad.

On the other hand my emotions have been kinda suppressed for a while, with people disappearing from my life and things being out of the ordinary I've just tried to ignore them and bottle them up as usual. But I've also met and started to talk to some really awesome people again and they've just made me smile and realise that things get better, even though everything does have difficulties.

I'll probably end this here otherwise it will just turn into none sense and I'm sure all of my readers (lol laughs to self) wouldn't want to hear anymore, but I just want to say to all of my friend who I know will probably read this that we will do amazing in our exams and have a great time in the summer as a celebration when it comes around and thank you to the people who have made me smile for being there, you know who you are xD.

Kindness can go a mile.

Hey guys I wanted to post something today but I couldn't think of anything worth writing about but it was just as I was watching random acts of kindness or RACKs I thought I could write about something like that or along those lines.

I love to do things for others whether it be to help them out with some work, giving them a smile, asking them if they are ok or even just being there to listen can go a long way these days. It's like just seeing them feel comfortable around you or smiling back at you makes me feel like I'm still worth being here and helping others is something I live for. The things I do aren't really that big or something to be noticed by everyone but I hope that that one person does notice and I can make them happy in some way.

What I really want to do, maybe this summer or even any time nearer to the present, is to do bigger things (well by my standard anyways). I was thinking of doing things such as buying food for homeless people up in London or paying for someone's food shopping one time or even just treating my friends to meal because they've done so much for me and I'd love to do something in return for them or just for anyone who deserves to be happy.

I know quite a few of my friends read this blog and so if you fancy joining me in this self set challenge I'd love your help even if it's just to be there with me and not really buy anything or whatever. Or even if we aren't friends yet I'd love to get to know some of you guys so you can email me (megan.teestump@gmail.com) or just leave me a comment and we can chat and get to know each other and maybe even rack up some RACKs xD.

Hopefully I'll post sometime soon if I can think of anything so until next time,

20 facts about myself.

So I haven't really don't this since I've been on her and I think it's about time I did so, here a a few facts about myself.

1. My name is Megan

2. I'm 16 years old and go to sixth form

3. I'm currently studying geography, media studies, English language and Italian.

4. I'm only 5 foot tall but I'm sure I grew at least 1 cm last year so you never know.

5. I've been dancing since I've been 3 years old so this year will be my 14th year at my dance school.

6. The dancing I do is ballet (plus pointe work of course), tap and modern (but not like the contemporary dance more like in a jazz way but my dance school calls it modern).

7. I live in South East London.

8. When I'm older I really want either be a primary school teacher, a child psychologist or a dancer teacher but I really want to be a published writer on the side if it's possible.

9. I love to write, I have a wattpad account which I've mentioned in previous blog posts I'm sure

10. My 9 year old sister and I have the same birthday only 7 years apart.

11. My birthday is on the 28th of August so I'm one of the babies of my year.

12. My favourite films at the moment are all of the hunger games, the mortal instruments, frozen, the tinkerbell movies and even though it's not out yet I'm sure I'll love it so divergent also.

13. My favourite books also include the mortal instrument series, the hunger games series, the divergent series and anything written by Maggie Stiefvater.

14. I'm related to someone who went on the expedition to the Antarctic called Scot of the Antarctic, he was called Captin Oates and he walked out in a storm and died so that the rest of the team would have enough food and supplies to make it, but unfortunately none of them did.

15. People say I'm really funny and kind and I guess that is true, I'd do anything for my friends and family and even those who aren't because everyone deserves a friend and someone to look out for them, I guess maybe I got that from my great great great great uncle Captin Oates maybe, who knows.

17. I'm obsessed with Naruto, Adventure time, Friends and Miranda.

I don't really know what to type

Hey guys (if there's anyone out there) I was just sitting in bed after not feeling too well and being home from my Saturday job today and thought I might as well give you guys a post xD

As the title suggests I don't really have a topic in mind to talk to you guys about, I may rattle on about something or say something deep or just list something's that I want to do. 

Recently things haven't gone as planned for me, over the past few weeks my thoughts have been getting the better if me like if I'm going to actually succeed at school and do my work properly too get good grades on my A levels or if people actually like me and all of the below. I guess what I need is something to take my mind off everything and getting myself to focus on everything positive in my life. I guess I'll start with saying that I won a writing competition at school called 'a twisted tale' and have been published alongside 19 other students in my whole school in a book featuring other winners from other schools which is something I'm really proud of since I enjoy writing so much. 

I also seem to be actually getting the hang of my dancing and will hopefully be taking two intermediate and one inter-foundation exam in June and soon I should be getting on to my associate exams which means I will be qualified to teach others (and I'm only 16 at the moment, wow).

 I also have some amazing friends around me and not until recently have I realised how amazing they are, I didn't really want to say names but I guess I will xD Kate, now of the most amazing people in the world, I get along with her so well and I feel so comfortable around her which is really difficult for me and also Vanessa who also has a blog on here (maybe I'll link it below) is sort of going through the same issues as me and so is also amazing and such a comforting and reliable friend I could ever ask for. These two girls are very special to me because they've been through a lot with me, to be honest I've probably done my share of moaning to them for a life time, they're just fab is all I can really say to do any justice.

Overall, at the moment I'm just taking each day as it comes which I think is really good, it gives me a chance to just live in the moment and not worry about tomorrow (unless I have to). I can't wait for the rest of the year because I think it's going to be really good and hopefully I'll get a lot of writing done because I said I would last year and never got round to it, oh well.

So yeah I hope all of you guys are having a great time and are happy, I don't really know how to end this so I'll just end by linking Vanessa's blog below and leave you guys to it, have a great 2014.
