Letter To 22 Year Old Me!

-

Hey Guys x

As I said in yesterday's post, today's post is a letter to myself in 2 years time.

I hope you enjoy reading it!

Dear 22 year old me,

First of all, what are you doing? Uni finishes at 21 so please tell me you have a job, any job. Well, a job that you love would be great, a job that pays well would be even greater, but any job, please.

Who's the celebrity crush? This may seem like nothing, but it means a lot to me, my celebrity crushes get me through a lot. Right now (you probably can't remember) it's Chris Pine, but there's a small flame burning for Tom Holland too so, you never know who it could be in the future!

What was the last film you watched? Please make it be something that I hadn't even heard of in 2017, that would be so cool!

Have you made more friends? In 2017 you were happy with the people in your life, but if this number has increased, that would be amazing.

I have to ask about the love life, in 2017 it's on your mind more often than not. Have you had a relationship? Don't beat yourself up if not, it'll happen. Do you have a crush? That would be fun to know!

As for this blog, are you still running it? I know it's hard sometimes, especially if, like me, you've just done a variation of Blogmas. But please go back to it, even if it's just to write the response to this post and no one else is reading. At 22, this will be your 5th year of blogging, that's a huge milestone! Have you bought a domain name? Probably not but you never know!

Is wattpad still in your life? It seems far-fetched for a 22 year old to write fanfictions, but at 20, you're currently writing one and have big plans for the next. And it's fun, so much fun!

Did you graduate? Hopefully you did or my last year and a half was a waste! What did you get? If you don't want to share that on the blog you don't have to, but it would be great if you got something that you were proud of.

In 2017 you started working out. I know, it's crazy right? Did you continue? Maybe you've gotten over your fear of gyms, or maybe you still have to wait until everyone falls asleep and work out at 1am, but I hope it continues.

How are you health-wise? All good? I'm definitely not going into it too much, but in 2016 there was a problem or two, are they sorted?

Where are you replying to this from? Home? A Coffee shop? Your own place? Work? Some far-away holiday destination? Wherever it is, what are you doing there? What have you done today?

Have you found happiness? With whatever you're doing and whoever you are, do you have a reason to smile. Any reason at all?

Here's your chance to tell me anything that I didn't ask about. Brag about your life, tell me the positives and negatives! Because 2017 me wants to know everything!

Thank you for reading

What would you say to your future self?

    That's actually such a great idea! I've done a similar thing, I've written a letter to myself that I want to read out if I feel I've reached the right point.

Venom: The Last Dance | Film Review

While on the run, Eddie Brock and Venom (Tom Hardy) are pursued by a dangerous military organisation. But when aliens from Venom's home world come to Earth, the pair have to make a devastating decision that will change their lives forever. I watched the first Venom movie when it came out years ago, didn't really like it that much, and subsequently didn't watch the second. But totally randomly last week I decided to re-watch the first movie, and ended up liking it enough to also watch the second. And as soon as I finished that, I went to the cinema to see this new one. I really liked this film - it was so much better than I thought it was going to be! My favourite thing about this franchise is the relationship between Eddie and Venom, and for me this film was the best version of the characters together. Because, while the comedic moments between the pair are still there, there's a lot more heart in this story than there has been previously, and this is especially evident

Smile 2 | Film Review

After a harrowing accident, popstar Skye Riley (Naomi Scott) is putting her life back together and embarking on a world tour. But after witnessing a suicide, she begins to experience strange occurrences - the strangest of which is a smile that seems to follow her wherever she goes...  Having absolutely loved the first film, I was so excited to see where this next one would take the storyline, and it seemed really promising! But my high expectations were probably why I ended up being so disappointed with the final result. I know that this is definitely an unpopular opinion, but I didn't really like this sequel. However, I did like how it began. It directly connects itself to the first film in a really interesting way, and that was fun to watch. Then it kind of went downhill. For me personally, I didn't love the character of Skye Riley. I didn't really feel connected to her, and it never felt like the film allowed me to get to know her that well. So as much as the events are

Book Review #138: Kill For Me, Kill For You by Steve Cavanagh

  After meeting by chance one evening, Amanda and Wendy realise they have something in common - they are both experiencing grief and want to make the men who destroyed their families pay. Knowing they can never exact the revenge they crave, they come up with an idea: if you kill for me, I'll kill for you... The premise of the book is deliberately vague, but I think the main idea of it is enough to give you a flavour of what the story is about. I have mixed feelings about this book. There's so many things about it that I really loved, but there are also a few things that I could have done without. To start off, the first two chapters are absolutely riveting. I feel like it took no time at all to bond and connect with the characters. Not only are the chapters exciting, but they're also really visceral. You feel like you're living in the scenes with the characters. It would have been amazing if the whole book had stayed like this. The story is told from two points of view,

Lagaan | 100 Movies Bucket List

Of all the movies I watched for the bucket list, this one was without a doubt the hardest to track down. Thankfully I managed to find it but it was looking impossible for a while! I ended up watching a version that didn't include the musical numbers, so I had to listen to the soundtrack separately, which felt really weird. But at the same time, I don't feel like anything was missing from the story by not having the songs in it. I'd never heard of the film before, but an almost 4-hour long movie about cricket wasn't exactly enticing. Thankfully the film is a lot more interesting than it sounds! There's a lot of underlying themes, and even when the scenes are about cricket, the game isn't really the most important thing. It was really fun spending time with these characters and seeing them interact. The one thing I didn't expect from this film was for it to be so uplifting. Even though it's not entirely sunshine and rainbows, you fall into step with this g

City of God | 100 Movies Bucket List

At this point in the bucket list we start getting to the films that are a bit harder to find. I had never heard of this film before seeing it on the list, and I didn't look it up before watching it (beyond searching for a platform to watch it on), so I had no idea what it was about. Sometimes when I'm watching the bucket list movies I write a couple of little notes to remind myself how I felt about it, as I don't give them full reviews. For this one, the only thing I wrote was 'harrowing' and I think that describes it well. The film doesn't shy away from anything troubling or uncomfortable, and it doesn't try to sugar-coat what the characters are going through, or what their lives were like. Apparently it's loosely based on true events and that feels really evident. Because of that, these characters feel extremely authentic. Whether you're familiar with their lives or not, you empathise and sympathise with them because it feels like you're watchi
