Game of Thrones - Season 6 - Teaser

I don't do YouTube, part of me doesn't have time, the other is unsure about going into that world mainly because the whole YT thing frightens me tbh, I feel like I would be too exposed. Its just something I wouldn't want to get into right now, or maybe ever. Point is, I always see people creating content on YT, of reviews/reactions/theories based on GoT and/ or other shows/films they love. (I watch them myself too, mainly Charlie from Emergency Awesome, he's genuinely the best) So instead of creating a video I thought, why not just do posts about it on my blog? So here I am.

A few days back Game of Thrones released its first teaser footage for season 6. I am a huge huge HUGE GoT fan! Like, the obsession is real, you would not believe! Anyone who knows me knows how much I adore the show; it is genuinely one of my all time favourites. Since last seasons ending, I've been waiting patiently for the new season and now that were getting  closer to the premiere date (April 24th) GoT is slowly releasing a bunch of new stuff that we can expect from s6. 

The teaser, which you can watch above if you haven't already, is set at the House of Black and White. Seeing and hearing past characters faces, Ned Stark, Robb Stark, hell even Joffrey made me miss them so much! I loved the whole concept of the teaser, having Jon Snow in it, continuously toying with our emotions when it comes to our fav bastard, I'm not gonna lie I was getting prepared to freak out at the end cause I thought all their eyes would open ha. Some people thought the teaser was confirming many of the characters' deaths like Tyrion, but I don't think that, that was their message with the way in which they placed all the heads. The GoT writers love to toy with our emotions so I personally didn't look too in-depth into it. 

Overall, the message of the teaser, for me, was definitely WINTER IS COMING, which should hopefully mean more epic White walkers scenes in s6...along with numerous deaths of our favs but lets be honest, I don't really need to tell you that, thats what comes with being a GoT fan. 

Thats all for my first Game of Thrones post, its not the best and I'm not entirely sure what my GoT posts will be like but, its just a show that I adore very much so I plan on doing these as a bit of fun. I cannot wait for a full trailer of s6 footage, I'm hoping it'll be soon! I'll probably do a post on that too.

Diary Entry #3

Assignments, book reading and everything in between 

I think my last Entry was around a week ago maybe, or more, not sure but anyway...I've been meaning to do another one for a few days now but just wasn't getting round to it. I had an assignment due Tuesday which I done! HOORAY! One less thing on my plate, it genuinely felt like weight off my shoulders. I thought I had another due in March but, it turns out, I don't have any essays due till April, which is great cause this means I will know focus most if not all of my energy just on my dissertation. I think thats all the uni update I got atm. 

I finished my Me Before You book around that time also, I'm sure I mentioned it on my last Entry. It was a good read, I loved having something to just get me out of my own world for a lil bit, I'll probs do a review on the book on my here soon; I'm no book review expert but yanknow, I thought it would be something fun to do that might also persuade someone else to read the book, or just read in general. I think I wanna also do a post about my re-found love for reading; I stopped reading in around primary school, not starting again till about 2 years ago. Its on my list of posts-to-do.

Oooohhh another thing I just remembered is Deadpool! I went to see it on Wednesday, I have been looking forward to it coming out since, they first showed the trailer at comic-con during the summer. It was brilliant. Very funny, whilst also containing more serious and emotional moments. The context of how Wade became Deadpool is where it the more in-depth and serious moments lie. WHATS MY NAME?! (if you've seen it you'll get it haha) I wouldn't mind watching it again tbh. 

I think thats all from me today, need to go brush my hair and let it dry. Adventurous times, I know! Speak to you soon.

Diary Entry #2

Back again. It's a late Monday morning, I'm suppose to be at uni right now sitting through a 2 hour lecture, instead I'm in bed. I did plan on going this morning I really did! Its just, the struggle to get out of bed was REAL and the weather right now is horrible! (Whoever lives in London will know) I'm only a 5ft1 girl and the wind is currently doing all sorts; so I guess my fear of being blown away by the wind is my excuse for refusing to leave my bed this morning. 

Anyway, an update from my last post, I've barely done any work, sighhh why does this keep happening. Writing this is making me feel guilty about it so I'm hoping that following this post I'll get down to one of my assignments thats due next week. To be fair, I have started this one! Which is a great improve from my last 3,000 word assignment that I begun and finished on the due date (don't judge!) I spent my weekend watching episodes of The Office, I'd never watched it before and have been meaning to for some time, I'm enjoying it so far. Besides that, the rest of my time has been spent reading the Me Before You novel by Jojo Moyes (which I might do a review on here but, I dunno yet, I'm no expert in writing book reviews but I might give it a go anyway) I've almost finished, I have a feeling its not gonna have a happy ending but we'll see. If only I was this eager to read for my assignments thooo! 

I think thats pretty much all I've got to add from last time, I'm really hoping next time I write a diary entry on here I have a much better update on my assignment lol. Pray for me to find some motivation guys!

Diary Entry #1

I haven’t been on this blog in quite some time now. I’m not sure what even happened but I think I just stopped motivating myself and a while later uni started again. I’m currently in my third year of studying History. Having done my first semester and began my second I can tell you that third year is probably the worst! I totally understand what everyone has been telling me about your final year at uni. My dissertation is, at the moment, all over the place to be honest. I kind of know what I’m doing however at the same time, have absolutely no clue. It worries and stresses me out a lot, I’m a massive worrier, I’m also awful at motivating myself.

There are numerous things that I would probably change about myself, the main one right now however, would probably be to find bloody motivation! I will sit here complain and think about how much work is pilling up yet not do anything about it at all. I don’t know why I do it, i just do. Instead I’ve been spending my time watching How To Get Away With Murder on Netflix (great show btw! my head was spinning by the end of the first season due to the many plot twists. Man i couldn’t keep up!) Anyway, back to this. I’m not entirely sure why I’ve randomly decided to write this blog post but come to think of it, maybe this will motivate me to start my assignments early instead of being my usual last-minute.com and doing it on the due date. DO NOT DO THIS.

I’m not the most vocal person when it comes to how I’m feeling or whats on my mind so i might just use this blog as a space to document how I’m doing, mainly with my current uni work load. I hope you enjoyed this muddled up bit of rambling and maybe I’ll be back on here again soon.
