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!

Road House (2024) | Film Review

-
Image
When ex-UFC fighter Dalton (Jake Gyllenhaal) takes a job as a bouncer at a roadhouse, he soon finds that his past is quickly catching up to him. I've never seen the original Road House, and when I put this one on I wasn't really planning to review it, but I found myself really getting into it. I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. Both the characters and the story were a lot more engaging and compelling than I thought they would be. The story sucked me in right from the beginning and I was interested the whole way through. The cast is great, but Jake Gyllenhaal completely carries the film and plays the character of Dalton really well. Again, I can't compare his performance to the original, but I really like the character. The fight scenes, which are pretty much what the film is about, are done really well. They're entertaining, but they also do a good job of moving the story forward. I think the reason I liked the film so much was because I didn't take it

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!

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

If I Stay | Film Review

Hey Guys x This film is also a book, which I reviewed here last September. I saw this film for the first time a couple of weeks ago when it came on a Sky Movies for the first time. I had always wanted to watch it because I really enjoyed reading the book. But I have to say - and this is probably the only time I'll ever say this - the film was so much better than the book! It's about a girl called Mia who lives with her parents and younger brother Teddy. The film shows two completely different times. On the one hand, it shows Mia's life leading up to the main 'incident' of the film, and on the other hand, it shows everything that happens after the incident. In the film, Mia has to make some really tough decisions. I don't want to give too much away, but the main decision is whether she should stay or go, and there are a lot of reasons to do both, which is hard to digest, especially for a 7 year old. This film touched me in so many different ways - an
