My 20th Birthday! | Blogmas Day 12

Hey Guys x

It's my 20th Birthday!!

I am a 20 year old person - and that freaks me out. I started my blog when I was 17, and now I'm not even a teenager anymore!

I can't even handle the fact that I should be well into my adulting by now, I should be a fully grown adult and be doing all these adult things.

It's weird to think that I'm now in the same decade as all the YouTubers that I watch, because they always seemed so old and mature and their lives seemed light-years ahead of mine. But no, we're all in our 20s, going through life in the same way.

I don't think I'm like a normal 20 year old.

I don't go out and get drunk (I've never actually been drunk in my entire life, and to be honest that's not really something that I want to do, I don't see the appeal)

I don't work, of course this will change in the future so it's not that big of a thing, and I am trying to get work experience in the field of my choice, but it's still something that a lot of 20 year olds do that I don't.

I could probably think of a lot of things that separate me from most other people my age.

This year my birthday is, by choice, a quiet affair.

I went out for dinner on Saturday and today I'm just chilling, not really doing anything. And I do like it that way. I'm having a day to do nothing, to not worry about uni or going somewhere, to not have to think about writing essays or the marks on the essays that I've already written. I can read a book, I can write, I can watch as many horror movies as I can fit in - what better way is there to spend a birthday?

Thanks to you guys for sticking with me through my two previous birthdays, I hope I get to have many more birthday celebrations on the blog!

Thank you for reading.

It's 13 days until Christmas!

Come back tomorrow for Blogmas day 13!

    I actually totally get what you mean about the whole not being drunk thing. I turned 16 this year and pretty much everyone at school is partying and getting drunk... and then there's me who hasn't and never wants to have alcohol.

Wonka | Film Review

Young Willy Wonka (Timothée Chalamet) tries to follow his dreams to become a respected chocolatier, despite opposition at every turn . This film was never particularly high on my 'to-watch' list, but it was always on my radar, so I'm glad I've finally seen it. I liked this movie a lot more than I thought I would, but I still definitely had problems with it! For a start, while I love the fact that it was a musical, I didn't actually like any of the actual songs. None of them really stood out (except the one that's already known) and having only seen the film yesterday, I can't remember any of them. In fact, while the songs didn't hurt the film, I also don't feel like they were completely necessary. I would have liked the film the same amount if it hadn't been a musical. Wonka is a really charming character, and Chalamet plays him really well. In fact, the entire cast is great - definitely the best thing about the film by a mile. The relationship b

Scarface (1983) | 100 Movies Bucket List

Next up for the Bucket List was another first-time watch! I'd seen the original 1932 film years ago and really liked it, but I never got around to watching this (undoubtedly more popular) version, so I'm glad it was on the list. I really really liked this movie. I'm not sure if I like it more than, or the same as the original, but I definitely had a great time with it. One thing about finally seeing all these classic movies is seeing how much impact they've had on pop culture, and this film is definitely no exception. It's so quotable, there are so many iconic images, and it's one that everyone should watch if they haven't seen it before. The most talked-about aspect of this film is probably the violence, and that's so interesting to see. Not only the way it's spoken about, but also the difference between violence in older films like this and newer releases. I personally thought the violence was done well, and while probably not all of it was strictl

My Problem With '8 Simple Rules'

Hey Guys x Today's post might come out as more of a rant, which I'm OK with because I haven't ranted about something in a while! Last year, I started watching the show '8 Simple Rules' when it started playing on Comedy Central. It originally came on between 2002 and 2005 but I didn't watch it when it was first on. Anyway, I really got into it. There were only three seasons, so it was over before I wanted it to be. And I loved this show, and I still love it. Comedy Central doesn't play it anymore but if it did I would dive right back into it because I love a good sitcom. However, I have a major gripe with a plotline of the show, that got more prominent in season 2/3. Let me just explain the characters a bit, so you know who I'm taking about in case you never watched it. The show revolves around a family, Paul and Cate Hennessy, and their children Bridget, Kerry and Rory. In the second season, the father in the show died (due

American Psycho | 100 Movies Bucket List

This one was a re-watch. I'd seen this film once before watching it for the Bucket List. My memories of it weren't wholly positive - I didn't love the first watch, and while I didn't hate it, it wasn't a film that I was itching to watch again. Though saying that, I knew that I probably would watch it again eventually, because I knew how much of a classic it was. Like a lot of films I've watched for the Bucket List, I liked it more this time around than I did the first time, though I still didn't love it as much as I wanted to. But that being said, I did really enjoy it. The writing was great and Christian Bale was amazing in the role, as were the supporting actors. For me, though, the most iconic thing about this movie is its soundtrack. The songs used are amazing and fit the movie so well. They're used in such a unique, original way, that it feels like this alone makes the movie a classic. The film is really well made, and even though I don't love i

The Matrix | 100 Movies Bucket List

  Next up for the Bucket List was a first-time watch. This is one that I had obviously heard of but knew next to nothing about. I found that it took a long time for me to connect with the story, and even then, while the film was interesting to watch, I never felt particularly invested in it. There were a lot of recognisable, iconic moments that I appreciated, and I get how much of an impact it had on sci-fi (and probably movies in general), but I don't know if it was for me. I somewhat enjoyed it, I understood everything that happened, but never felt connected, and didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted to. It could just be that I need to re-watch it, and I probably will, but for a first watch, I didn't take to it as much as I wanted to. But that being said, I'm glad I finally watched it!
