Music

I don't have the coolest music taste, as many of my friends will be more than happy to tell you and make fun of me about; however, despite that I thought that It would be fun to share some of my favourite songs. Here are some songs that I have been loving at the moment. 

While I am a huge fan of pop music, I also love more old school stuff and what I only know how to call 'chill out' music. So I'm not really sure what category to put my taste into but it is what it is haha. 

The Fray - "How to Save a Life"

Christina Perri- "Human"

'Brandon & Leah - "Together",  "Sunday Girl", "Showstopper", "Life Happens"

James Lawson- "Wasn't Expecting That"

Corinne Bailey Rae- " Put Your Records On"

Adam Barnes- "She Will Stay Beneath the Moon", "Lighthouse", "Come Undone", "Old Shoes"

Destiny's Child- "Say My Name"

Dixi Chicks- "Travelin' Soldier"

Sticky Fingers- "Australia Street"

Hoodie Allen- "No Faith In Brooklyn (Feat. Jhameel)", "All About it (feat. Ed Sheeran)", "18 Cool",     ddddddiddddld"Act my Age"

Blue- " U Make Me Wanna"

Passion Pit- "Take a Walk"

Jonsi- "Go Do"

Beyoncè- "Pretty Hurts", "Run the World - Girls", "Partition"

Mike Dignam- "Great Escape"

Dolly Parton- "Jolene" 

Miley Cyrus- "Bangerz (the whole album!)"

Taylor Swift- "Every song ever (pretty much)"

These are just some of the songs that i'm loving and listening too right now.

University.

So at the end of last year i finished high school. This was a pretty scary time for me. For as long as i can remember i have been a student, granted as I'm now attending uni I'm still a student; however, not in the same way, and the thought of having to decide what i wanted to do with my life terrified me. 

In Australia, school starts at the beginning of the year and finishes at the end of the year, which I know is not the case in other places around the world (one of the many reasons that America for one confuses me).  This meant at the start of 2015 I was on my own.  Faced with the opportunity to go into full time work or continue working part time and study further, I chose the latter. 

All of year 12 (Australians last year of high school) I worked my butt off to get an ATAR (end of year score) that would get me into uni. The only problem was I didn't really know what I wanted to do. To be completely honest I'm still not 100% if I've made the right choice and if this is truly what I want to do and eventually become.  By the end of the year I thought to myself what are the subject that i most enjoy? To this my answer was Legal Studies and Psychology. Logically then I found a university course that had both of these at its core. That is what I'm currently studying. 

While university is both exactly how I though it would be and completely different at the same time I think that it has defiantly helped me to become a better person. Only one semester in and I feel that I have become more independent, I feel that i have gained a new way of thinking on particular topics and all around I feel better for being at uni (this is not to say some days I days that I don't hate it, because i do). 

I suppose my point is, if you're thinking about uni and you're not really sure what you want to do but you think you want to try it, go for it! You have nothing to loose. Plus, if you don't like it a few weeks in you can drop out without any cost (something no one ever told me) so why not. 

Uni isn't for everyone, and anyone thats ever gone to uni will tell you that. It is a scary unfamiliar place when you first go there, but you learn so much from the experience. 

Overall, being half way though 1st year my thoughts and opinions may change. As the upcoming exams draw closer I may have an overwhelming hate for it all over again, but I'm still glad that i made the decision to go. 

The end of school is a scary and exciting time. At the end of the day you have to do whats best for yourself, not anyone else. Because when it comes down to it, this is your life and no one else has to live it but you.
