I never really go on holidays - although I really want to travel. My last holiday was two years ago with my grandparents, auntie, uncle and two cousins and we went to Benidorm for a week. Before that I went on a trip with my school (it was more like two teachers and 4 friends) as an "exchange" student for a week to Paris. My holidays before that were to Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, to spend time with my step father at the time. I really did enjoy going out there as it was something different. I also really loved their chips and mayo. But by far, the biggest holiday I have been on is to Orlando, Florida, which was back in 2006. Apart from that I always went on little holidays when I was younger, to places such as Butlins and Tenby.

I know a lot of people who go on holiday often, like my cousins - they go at least five times a year. So they probably scratch their heads and thing "What the hell does she do in the holidays??"..

One thing I hate is routine, so being out of college helps me do more things. The only routine I do have is when I see my boyfriend as we tend to be busy at the same times - so it just works out. This year has been different to most years so, I'm going to share with you what I have done.

June.
College broke up in June. June was full of stress relief from the exams. When I finally broke up from college, I was surprised with my very own car. I thought "finally, I can be free!". I enjoyed my new car with my friends and embraced every moment of that milestone. It was fun, it was great and most of all it was new.

July.
I celebrated my best friend's 18th in July. Literally, the first day of July. The rest of July resulted in me working - not all the time, but most of the time. However, I did manage to squeeze in time to see my cousins, who may I add I don't see often as it's hard to get to them. But now I have a car, so I can do whatever and go wherever I want, as and when I want to! I went shopping with my cousin and we enjoyed a ride to Mumbles - which is a lovely place in Wales on a sunny day. If you're ever in Wales, you have to go to Mumbles.. only if it's sunny though! I also spent time with both of my cousins on a separate occasion where we went for a *cheeky* Nandos! Sorry, I had to. I don't think I've spent time with the two of them together for a very long time, I must've been about 12 when we last spent a whole day together!

I took my father out for his first real spin as a qualified driver with me in my car. It was quite strange as I picked him up. But nevertheless, it was fun - however, I'm no taxi! I've also been taking my mother back and forth to work this summer, which again is strange, but for her, I really am a taxi.

In June, this blog also launched, which I had been really busy with too, trying to finalize everything. I have also been trying to organize my room to the way I want it, so looking at designs take time too.

July also gave me the opportunity to go out on a real night out with my three best friends. We have never all been out together before, so this made me happy. I'm the soppy friend, so yes, every moment does matter.

August.
August August August. I hate thinking of August. Mainly because it's the last month of the holidays and I realize I really haven't done that much with my life. However, the two good things which came from August is that my best friend and my boyfriend both turned 18! Although, you know what that means ££££££££££££! I'm broke! That's a lot of presents and a lot of food! But that doesn't matter because they are totally worth it.

I went to the cinema this week and I watched Suicide Squad. It's such a great film and if you haven't watched it already, then you definitely need to.

Now comes the part I hate. It is currently 12:43am, Thursday 18th August. Anyone who's in sixth form or college knows this date. It's results day. I thought holiday's are meant to be relaxing?? There is nothing relaxing about results day! Or the week leading up to it. I'm usually really optimistic and enthusiastic, however, I'm not feeling so optimistic for today. By the time this post goes up, I'll already know my results - which I'm hoping will turn out okay this year. As I'm no stranger to failure as last year I failed two of the last papers by one mark each... But, this year is different right? We'll see, I hope.

For the rest of the holidays, I'm either going to celebrate with my intelligent friends, or, I'm going to celebrate for my friends and then just drown in my sorrows. I'm joking! I plan to plan my next academic year. I also plan to spoil myself loads, whether I get the results I want or not, as pay day is tomorrow and I literally haven't spent more than a tenner on myself the last month! I also plan to plan my next academic year - if I even decide to go back.
