One of the worst things a blogger can do is start with a title. It ties you in to you subject matter and it doesn't allow you to think more freely to create a better article, which the subject of may naturally change in the first few sentences, the first few words even. But that of course is exactly what I do. Would you expect anything different?
The last post I titled a "Inspiration", in a bid to try and get my mind to think of something to write about. It ended up being another blog about me leaving for university. I looked back at recent blogs have some sort of link with me going off to university. And feedback from you guys is very positive towards blogs about student life and the progression to Uni.
So I am making a decision, that the most productive path for my blog to follow, as well as it being the best, is about my life as a student. Following examples such as www.thestudentblogger.com I am going to talk about things which are happening for people who are looking to go to university in the future and want to find out more from a first person perspective, as well as interesting stuff and quirky little things that I am in no doubt will happen.
I thin by doing this it gives my writings some direction and some purpose as apposed to me just telling you what level I am at on Candy Crush (Still level 28 by the way)
Anyway, I hope that you enjoy the slightly revised format of the blog and I look forward to writing many more happy posts in the future!

Some very important news...
I suppose that events have unfolded in the past few days that will inevitably shape my life from here on in. So therefore it seems appropriate that I share these things with you.
Yesterday was the day that I received my a Level results, and I must admit, when I first opened that envelope I was panicking. The way the system works, for those who don't know, is that you make your choices for university, and if you get the grades then you are in. You can check this on the internet, and occasionally they let people in without them having the grades they need.
So when I was 1 grade below my requirements, I was a little bit worried to say the least. Seeing as schools are schools and school computers are the world's slowest physical being, the wait for the computer to boot up was agonising. I though there was no hope and I was going to have to go home and cry. A lot.
I therefore had to get a friend to check that my eyes were not deceiving me when I read: "Congratulations, Your offer for the University of Liverpool has been accepted."
Basically, to cut a long story short, on the 13th of September I will be getting in my Dad's car (that's if I am nice to him so he gives me a lift) and driving, with a boot full to the brim of stuff, to Liverpool.
This whole thing seems so unreal and alien. I thought, least I hoped, that once I had found out what was happening I would feel somehow different, or enlightened or something like that. But still I am putting off doing things like finding out what I need to take, and reading what I will be doing in the first week and all of that kind of stuff because the whole thing seems to overwhelming to begin.
Nevertheless, I am still massively pleased that I am going to university, even more so that I will be going to study Accounting and Finance at Liverpool. Going to Liverpool has been a dream for a few years, before I even knew what I wanted to do, there is something about the city that upon visiting it makes you feel welcome. People ask me where I am going and go off on one about how they can't stand the accent and things like that, but having visited there on numerous occasions, you can barely even notice it.
I don't want to make this blog a "look at me aren't I brilliant" blog either. It just feels like such a big leap in my life that it is appropriate for me to share it with you. And my family and friends have already started getting excited with me. Sometimes more than me I think, as I found out my mum had been talking to our family doctor today about whether I needed to take a clothes airer with me.
So now, whilst enjoying and looking forward to moving to Liverpool, I also have to do a lot of things in the meantime. I have a whole list to write of things I need for University and things I very kindly have to ask the bank of Mum and Dad to set me up with, and I have to organise my accommodation, registration, when I am going, what I am doing, transport and all of that kind of thing. I have so much to do, but I have no doubt that it will be well worth it in the end and I am really looking forward to taking you with me on my blog!
