Internet/College problems
I miss summer. I miss not having college every day, I miss going on holiday, I miss not being able to wear shorts! I guess the only bad part of summer was the A Level results part but seeing as they were pretty good, I'll disregard that as a bad aspect. Going back to college has meant everything is more stressful again. I, once again, have to get up at 7:00AM twice a week (although slightly later now that I've passed my driving test), I have looong days where I leave the house before 7:30 and don't get home for 14 hours or so, and I have coursework again!
Actually, coursework isn't too bad at the moment because I love writing and that pretty much sums up English Language coursework, but that's by the by.
The worst thing about college though is the people there (this goes back to wearing shorts again). For college, I don't often bother dressing up or realistically putting any effort into my outfit, purely because it's college, it requires getting up early, and I'd rather have a few more minutes of sleep than get up earlier and faff around with outfits. I wore shorts and tights a days ago and some girl at college tweeted a picture of my bottom half (creeeepy..) and put that she doesn't understand why people wear shorts to college in this weather. Well. I personally don't understand why girls wear leggings with bodywarmers and look EXACTLY THE SAME AS HALF OF THE POPULATION OF LUTON but I don't tweet about it. You know why? Because everyone has their own fashion sense, and to me, as long as you're happy with what you're wearing, you go ahead and wear it! I could take a lighthearted approach and perhaps appreciate her comments; she was clearly concerned for my health, however I would have preferred it if she'd spoken to me directly about possibly wearing warmer clothes rather than put it on the internet.
This is a problem many people seem to have at my college - they can't stand if someone looks different. There's a girl at my college in the year below with teal kind of coloured hair and I love it, but loads of people take the piss out of her because it isn't a generic colour. My hair has been that colour before which is probably why I like it but nonetheless, it's not your hair, therefore you have no say as to which colour it is. I don't understand why some people feel their influence is greater than the person actually wearing the clothes/dying their hair.
Despite all this, I will be continuing to wear shorts to college, until it genuinely gets too cold to do so!

Listening to my playlist adequately named 'Playlist'
It has been approximately 10 hours since I last wrote and I'm in the exact same position I was then - that is, sitting on my bed, still wearing my pyjamas, still procrastinating.
Tuesday is a good day because I'm only in college for an hour and a half, despite the amount of time it takes me to get there. Living in Dunstable has many drawbacks; all the shops are shut, the only bus bypassing my house comes once every 70 minutes and the majority of my friends live elsewhere. Consequently, I have to plan my mornings/afternoons/days around bus timetables. This would be tolerable if Arriva bus service was reliable. I can deal with occasionally waiting 20 minutes later for a bus (this is a complete lie, follow me on Twitter for daily anger fueled Arriva updates) but when it's a day in day out situation any sane person will start to complain. Sadly, Arriva are clearly used to this sort of thing and do nothing whatsoever.
One of my friends told me I should write a post about Arriva bus service because of the infrequency/rude bus drivers/apparent lack of concern for leaving on time, and purely by writing about my morning it has accidentally happened. I guess seeing as right now I would usually be either waiting for a bus or sitting on a bus it's pretty accurate time-wise however I'll be honest - I wasn't planning on spending my morning complaining (for a change).
My Tuesdays are also quite predictable and they go like this: Get up/get dressed/resume position in bed/plan proactive things to do and think about them whilst staying in bed. The problem here it seems is that although my mind is very productive, my body is not. Hmm. Maybe I should invest in some of those spiritual books that promise to engage your mind, body and spirit. Only if I could order it online from my bed though.
Today though seems to be proving different (so far). It is now 10AM and I am up, dressed, make upped and sadly, back on my bed. However, the main difference here is that instead of tweeting I am actually blogging which I like to think is slightly more proactive. Furthermore, I think today I might do a fashion piece. I'm not quite sure what of yet though. Most of my 'good' ideas come from leaving my brain to puzzle it out and let inspiration come to me. Some may call this laziness, I call it forward thinking (forward, as in fast forward to when my brain wants to think). I think I'll finish getting ready and try and focus my brain on a fashionesque journalism piece.
