College Awkwardness

So, as from the title, I bet you can guess what I am going to be talking about!
Me and my friend Molly started college last week, and it went basically as we thought.

Everyone stood in the corner's and didn't talk to one another.
Ah.

So, it was super fricking awkward, but what can you expect? 50 odd teens with the same interests don't know how to approach one another at the best of times. Suddenly, we're all thrown in a room forced to interact!? It's like we all produce a hormone which says 'stay away, creature'.

It wasn't so bad when lessons actually began, however. Yesterday was awesome, as I found out that I get to jam with other musicians for 2 and a half hours and get assessed on it. THAT IS NOT HARD WORK, THAT IS A FRICK FRACKING DREAM!
My advice to any students starting college/already there but don't know how to talk to people, remember that they all have the same ideas as you and are pretty cool dudes. The people I have met are so much more mature than the people at school, so acceptance isn't even a second thought. We're all adults. Also, we get to call lecturers by their names AND get to wear our own clothes!! *dribbles*


Anywho, have an amazing week, guys. I've uploaded a video as well, so check it out!

Electric hobs and Coffee

Hello, Outernet!

Lots of things have happened to me recently, so this is my first chance to actually put it down into words! For starters, I got my braces off. Never has there been a feeling recorded as high for when you can bite into an appple. I went ten months, people. TEN MONTHS.

Also. I dyed my hair again! Originally, I wanted it go go turquoise and purple, but my hair didn't lighten greatly. Therefore, I am now bright red and orange!

{I keep putting my head next to things and pretending to set them alight.}

The biggest news is that I have finally moved into my college halls!

Nothing major has happened yet, but I have learned that electric hobs are awful. They should burn (literally). They don't heat up quickly, so cooking dinner last night was a task and a half! I do like living with my friend, however. We get up to a lot of fun things, especially when testing out the gym.


Apart from filming a YouTube video (which should be up in the next week), eating lots of food and drinking coffee, we haven't done much today. If you want to keep up to date, then you should follow my Instagram, Twitter or subscribe to me on Youtube!


Sorry to keep it so brief, but have s good week, everyone!

Your perception VS others

From the title, I'm guessing that you already know what I'm going to be talking about. If not... Google it!
All joking aside, here is the meaning-

perception

noun

1. 1.

   the ability to see, hear, or become aware of something through the senses.

   
   

   • 
     

     
     
   • 
     
2. 2.

   the way in which something is regarded, understood, or interpreted.
3. 
   

The type of perception that I am on about is the second one. Moreover, how people perceive themselves.

Many people on a daily basis look at someone and make a judgement. Before you all go, 'I don't make judgements, I'm all about equality and I accept everyone!', THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEAN. I mean, you might look at someone and think, 'I like that outfit' or 'I think they should style their hair differently'. That is a judgement. The word has such a bad connection to other things, that the minute in which you suggest it, everybody get's their hackles up. 

Another situation that most people go through, is having a bad perception of themselves. This could be physically or emotionally. Although you may see someone as being healthy, happy and an all round good person, they may hate the bits that you love about them. They might want to change their nose or the colour of their eyes, their leg shape or even their height. Usually, it is because people have told them that they need to look a different way to fit in.

What needs to be taught to children and adults is that what they have, they should be grateful for.
What REALLY needs to be taught is to accept people for their quirks, their attire, their heritage, their height, age, voice. Everything. Their entire person. But the real question is, would there be this problem with teaching children acceptance (even more so than we already are) if they already accepted themselves?

I know that I go on about this far too often, but it is a situation that I hold close to my heart. I don't think I see myself as a victim of bullying, or even a survivor. I see myself as a person who has been there. done that. If I can help, I will!

On a slightly more upbeat note, have a wonderful week and enjoy starting college, Freshmen!

Change

Hello, friends! (Or people who I like to 'stalk' on Facebook.)

The Autumn (or Fall for you crazy kids out of Europe) is rapidly approaching, and I feel like I am finally ready to move on to college. I don't know about you guys, but I'm moving away again to go to college. I'm practically leaving the nest! Most of my friends are either going to 6th form, or going to college in their area/ in commuting distance. Now, as cool as this sounds, I am absolutely BRICKING it.
When put into perspective, however, I realise that I have an amazing opportunity to pursue a career in music, meet funky people and abuse the recording studio privilege I will have. This is a change I am fully welcoming in my life, even though I am frightened.

Most teens are going through this ordeal right now, and I fully sympathise with you all. Remember that change is a good thing, as long as it makes you happy in the long run.

Now, change is happening to everybody. Whether it is buying a different brand of cheese, a family member being brought into the world or your house falling down, it happens. Instead of dwelling on this change, you have two options; CHANGE IT or EMBRACE IT.

EXAMPLE-
You've just received a phone call, a friend is moving away.
CHANGE IT- If you really disagree with this situation, express your concerns to this friend. Tell them why you think that they shouldn't move away or another option.
EMBRACE IT- Let the friend know that you fully support their decision and help them in any way possible.

I'm more of an embracer to be honest. Things happen.

Have a great week, guys, and I'll catch up with you later.

Shroedinger's GCSE results

So, the most wonderful time of the year has arrived...

RESULTS DAY!

Now, I was completely dreading results day, as most teens were. I wasn't worrying about my grade. I was afraid of just knowing what it was! I know this seems confusing, but bear with me.
With my results, I applied the knowledge of 'Schroedinger's Cat'. Without knowing what I scored, my results were either good or bad, but not determined. Such as the cat in the experiment, my pass to college was either alive or dead.

Thankfully, I got some pretty good grades, considering I missed a lot of schooling. I'm not too worried about my maths being a pass, as employers are usually not bothered. I'm just so happy that I get to go to college and do the career that I have dreamed about for ages. That's why I'm not discontent with my lower graded, as they still allow me to do what I want. I still get to go to college and dream about being on stage with my idols.

Don't be upset with your grades. As long as you did your best, that's all that matters!
Enjoy these last few weeks before you have to go back to college/school.

The important things in life.

Ever since I have finished school and have been on my holidays, I never feel productive if I spend the day at home. I feel like I should be doing more and that I just waste my time. In some respects, it would certainly look like that! What I need to remember, however, is that not every day has to be action packed. I hate feeling like this, but then, who enjoys it?

Every day in which you wake up is dictated and moulded by every simple action that you proceed to do. Right?
Right.
In a more straightforward sentence, you create the day. Your decisions are what controls how you feel at the end of a day. Even better, your decisions of that day can control how you feel in the next day. Or the next week. Or even the next year! Great, huh?
Well, maybe not always.

This doesn't mean that it's the end of the world, though. You don't have to spend every waking moment, scared that you will do something wrong which will possibly change your future for the worse. People do things on impulse and reflex most of the time! Or, should I say, our brain does it. Your brain has evolved to basically protect you from the most basic things. The oven's hot? PULL AWAY! Fly? SWAT THAT BASTARD! You fall? ARMS, TAKE THE FALL! Our brain is extremely clever. It's evolved for the little moments in which we need it for the things that we cannot process to do. That does not mean that you should abuse it or not use it correctly. Stay hydrated, stay social, do puzzles. READ! Brain's love that shit. Believe me.

{You're probably thinking, 'Why is this all relevant?'. No, what you're actually thinking is, 'What the hell is this freak on about?!'. It's okay, I'm used to it. Maybe it's all the Meow Chat and game requests that have slowly turned me -more- insane. But don't worry, stay with me. This all ties into a neat little bow in which you will all think I'm some God like creature who has abused her right of owning a laptop and internet access.}

What I'm asking you, no, what I'm TELLING you, is that you need to do things for you. The you in the present. The you who wants to live a long, happy future. The you who wants that last damn slice of cake. Don't WORRY about the people of NOW; They could be temporary. If they want to be permanent, they'll be the one's stuffing the piece of cake in your face.
Say YES to the roller-coaster.
Say YES to evenings of popcorn and movies with friends, even though you're up early tomorrow.
Say YES to making yourself happy.
If you don't do what's good for you now, you could pay for it. I know I said don't worry about every action, but take each day and summarise it. Consciously add things into your day that you will BENEFIT from. An extra glass of water, some time with your family, a coffee by yourself and a book.

Live life a day at a time. Live in the moment. Live.
Just existing isn't an option.

NYC ramblings.

Hello, Coffee Fiends and Sassy Scallions!

One word for New York?

Wow.

Just, wow. For one thing, I didn't even DARE get a taxi ride. I valued my life far too much! Every car had a ding, dent or scratch along the sides, and I don't mean small ones. Like, 'I've just hit a cyclist, three toddlers and a hobo' size.

I spent a lot of money whilst there. Two new pairs of shoes (Dr Martens and Uggs), a quill (I'm partial to some good old fashioned pen and ink), a new scrapbook (I hoard) and clothes upon clothes, upon yet more clothes... China town was also an... amazing experience. I got chopsticks, a purse, a necklace with a guitar on and a cute bamboo mouse. Not to mention some Chinese candy!

The candy out there is awesome. Much, MUCH more variety than the UK. I mean, two words; MINT M&M'S. 

WHAT?!?!

Almond snickers and peanut butter flavour, m&m's, twizzlers, candy, candy, CANDY!!

On a more elegant note, me and my mum went to Tiffany's. (swoon)
I bought myself my first ever proper ring. I'm very particular with jewelry and have a tendency to lose it, so this is a big thing. I trust myself (I think) as I've grown older, so let's see how this goes. My mum surprised me with a bracelet from there, which I also adore!

Surprisingly, the portions are not massive. Because of the heat, me and mum were not hungry most of the time, but still ate loads! Still, normal size portions + good presentation= happy Jazz.

We visited the Empire State building, and the height truly is astonishing. As with the 9/11 memorial and the centre of Central Park, all of the madness is sucked out and replaced with a tranquil atmosphere. Beautiful.
Staten Ferry was awesome, too. Seeing all the sights definitely made my holiday.

The mother and I went to 'Chicago' on Broadway as well! It rocked. We also saw 'Heather's' off Broadway, which was definitely a good choice. We just rocked up on the day! A must see.

Oh, and the subway? Easy. Piece of cake. AIR CONDITIONED AND BIGGER TRAINS.
London underground, GET YOUR #@!? TOGETHER!

5th Avenue, 34th street, Macy's, shopping, food and Central Park. Dream.

ALSO!!
