I'm Scared...

-


Hey Guys x

Today, as you read this (if you're reading on the day that I upload), then it is the 1st of June.

This is the month that I leave college.

And a lot of people have said this to me, regarding exam results or just leaving in general, but I haven't said it to myself or to anyone else.

I'm scared.

I'm scared that I didn't start revising early enough and now it's too late to make a difference.

I'm scared that I was never destined to pass anything in the first place, that going to university is just a distant dream that I was never meant to achieve.

I'm scared that I've wasted the last 2 years of my life and, come August, I'll have nothing to show for it.

I'm scared that I won't get the results that I want and I'll have to make some big decisions in a really short space of time.

I'm scared of that moment 5 seconds before opening my results, when someone else has got exactly what they needed and is screaming because they can't believe it.

I'm scared that I can't compete with other people. I'm scared that I still think I have to.

I'm scared about that moment 5 seconds after opening my results. When everyone is clambering to know whether I did well or not.

I'm scared for a few weeks after that, no matter what I get.

I'm scared about possibly starting university when I still feel like a 15 year old.

I'm scared about having to be independent, to take care of things myself. Even though staying at home makes things easier, I'm scared of not knowing exactly what will happen.

I'm scared of having to make friends all over again.

I'm scared that I picked the wrong course and I'll come to regret it in the future.

I'm scared that I'll finish uni and not get a job.

I'm scared that I'll never finish writing a book.

I'm scared that I'll never become an author.

I'm scared that I'll be in a job that I hate for the rest of my life.

I'm scared of being unhappy.

I'm scared that what I do will never ever be good enough.

I'm scared of being alone.

I'm scared of having tonnes of people in my life and still feeling like I'm the only one.

I'm scared that I have no control over my future.

I'm scared that my future has already been decided.

I'm scared that it hasn't.

I don't really know how to finish this post so I'm just going to end it like this.

Here are some of my fears about the future.

Thank you for reading

Comment below some of your fears about the future!

Keep Smiling - Lou xx

    I think you are going to do amazing on your exams. I tend to leave everything until last minute because I worry more about it then actually trying to do something about it. I'm right there with you. It feels like time has just gone by so fast and we already have to decide what we want to do with our future. It's like everything is just being thrown at us from left and right. But I believe that we all have the ability to accomplish so much :) Try not to worry too much and let things happen as they will. You'll always find a way to get through it as you've done with many things in the past. Enjoy the time now while you have it ;) I think you are going to do great!

Hot Frosty | Blogmas Day 17

  It's Blogmas day 17! When Cathy (Lacey Chabert) accidentally brings a snowman to life, she discovers the magic Jack the snowman (Dustin Milligan) brings to the town of Hope Springs. This is the third of four highly anticipated Netflix Christmas originals this year that I'm including in Blogmas. And while it's not the most original story, I've always loved the idea of Jack Frost, so I was excited to see it. Thankfully I liked this one - though maybe not as much as I wanted to. I really liked the character of Cathy. Not only was she really likeable, but because we get to know her so quickly, we can really root for her. I also loved the tone of the film. It didn't take itself seriously at all and made it clear to the audience that we're just there to have fun. All of the actors, main and supporting, were great. They were so much fun to watch and all played their characters really well. The chemistry between Cathy and Jack is great! You really want to see them tog...

Christmas Holidate | Blogmas Day 19

Image
  It's Blogmas day 19! When Holly (Jasmine Burke) uses her company's app to find a date to bring home for the holidays, a glitch in the app causes more than one date to turn up. This film had an interesting premise because it seemed really original, and it looked like there would be a lot of chances for fun and humour. I didn't end up liking it as much as I wanted to. But one thing I liked was how much more modern it felt than most of the other movies I've watched for Blogmas this year. Even just the idea of her finding her date(s) through an app is original for a Christmas film. It's nice that the movie was family-focused, but the family it focuses on aren't that interesting and can't really carry the story. The main couple have chemistry and it was fun to watch them interact, but I never really cared about them one way or the other. And if for some reason they didn't end up together, it wouldn't have mattered to me. It took about 40 minutes for the...

Holiday for Hire | Blogmas Day 20

  It's Blogmas day 20! After getting dumped right before going home for the holidays, Katie (Christie Leverette) hires a man to pretend to be her boyfriend in front of her family. Finally a fake dating trope! A couple of the films this year have played with the theme, but this one really goes for it and I love that! But as much as I loved the premise, the film didn't really live up to it. However, one thing I loved as much as I loved the premise was Katie. Right from the beginning she was a character I could get behind and really root for. I also really loved Katie's roommate Sarah (Jeanne Lau) and I wish she had been given more to do, and more of a story. Why is she spending Christmas alone?? I tried not to look at the film from a point of realism, as this is a Christmas movie after all, but where was the sense of safety? The main couple are complete strangers at the start and it felt weird to see how quickly they trusted each other. And while I liked the characters intera...

A Christmas Proposal | Blogmas Day 16

-
Image
  It's Blogmas day 16! When Jason (Joshua T. Shipman) is forced to move for work, and his girlfriend cannot go with him because they are not married, he creates an elaborate plan to propose by Christmas. So apparently there are two films with the same name, made in the same year, and it looks like I picked the worst of the two! From the very beginning, the tone of the film is really odd. It was taking itself way too seriously for what is supposed to be a light Christmas movie. The plot didn't really make much sense. A few times throughout the film there was a point made that the character didn't want to be with his girlfriend, and had actually requested a be transferred to get away from her. So why are we watching him plan a proposal? Why is he planning a proposal in the first place? There were really weird moments throughout the film where the sound quality would drastically change when a character was speaking but not on camera, despite supposedly being in the same room. ...

Christmas on Ice | Blogmas Day 21

  It's Blogmas day 21! Former figure skater Courtney (Abigail Klein) teams up with former hockey player Noah (Ryan Cooper) to save the local ice skating rink from closing. I picked this one because it just seemed so quintessentially rom-com-y that I had no choice! And it also seemed like it would be really Christmassy, which is always important for a Christmas film. Unfortunately this one wasn't as romantic as it could have been. But I will say the Christmas part holds up - is there anything more Christmassy than ice skating?? My main gripe with the film is that I completely fell in love with a couple and was willing to spent all my time and energy on them. The only problem was, it wasn't the main couple! It was the side couple who were given no time! If the main couple of this film had been Beth (Caroline Portu) and Trevor (Matthew Grimaldi) this could have been a great Christmas movie. I really liked what little I saw of them and wanted so much more than the film gave us....
