Isn't every romcom a Romeo and Juilet?

My favourite type of book/movie is romance. In a book I've been reading called 'Soulmates' (which I'll do a book review on in the next 3 or 4 days) I've realised that all romances novels/films are based on Romeo and Juliet (most of them have got a happy ending). Some are very loosely based on the story whereas some are so similar.

I mean, boy meets girl, they fall in love, a montage of their love is shown/written, one of them does something they know will upset the other one so doesn't tell them, the other one finds out and breaks up with them, realises a few weeks later that they still love that person, goes to tell the person ( which is usually going away), catches them at the last second and tells them that they love them and the other person does the same and they live happily every after!

I know it's a bit confusing but do you kinda get what I mean?

I think everyone in the universe knows about this 'theory'. I mean, even my registration teacher ( who is an English teacher) had it written on her board a few weeks ago!

Anyway let me know what you think in the comments below! Do you agree or not?

See you soon,

To grow up or not?

Last weekend, my friend pointed out that I was starting my courses for my exams in 5 weeks! 5 WEEKS! Now in my mind that's when I become an 'young lady'! Part of me wants to be one because they have this position of authority and have independence but the other part of me wants to stay the child who dances around her living room on Saturday to her personalized Spotify playlist instead of doing homework, who doesn't understand grown-up things like bank statements and tax and most importantly, who loves Disney!(thus the quote at the start)

I mean, I guess I've started to grow up as I've picked my subjects. I knew what I want to do and didn't let anyone get in my way (even if that meant upsetting my mum a bit). The other thing I've had to do a lot recently is make decisions. Whether it is to have a yoghurt or a cake with my pepperoni pizza or whether to go in to school or not when I'm not feeling well, I find it challenging. I wish I was a little girl again so that my mum could make decisions for me (well the big ones, not the small ones cos I can do that myself cos I'm my own person #feminist )

A part of growing up that I like is that I find new things out about myself. For example, recently two of my friends L & A have started playing The Chain game at breaktime and I love watching them do it because not only does it challenge them it also challenges people who are watching from the sidelines.
So, I guess my conclusion is that I will grow up, not because I'm forced to but because I want to. I'm finding new things about me each and every day and I like doing that.

See you soon,

A sorta of book review and Executive Decisions

So remember I said I would do a book review? Well I've just finished Girl Online by Zoella and I thought I would do an informal book review. 

When reading it, there is a blog post ( these come up every few chapters. It's when the main character Penny reflects on what has happened) when Penny is reflecting on what people having being saying about her. Shortly after this her fans congregate and make up a hashtag on twitter that makes to a worldwide trend (I won't tell you what the hashtag is, don't want to give away too many spoilers :P )

The hashtag taught me something, that her fans will support her no matter what. I hope that this is true in the real world as well as in the fictional world.

So I made an executive decision and I hope you'll stand by me.

The decision is that I will only blog whenever I feel like it/ have an idea. Whether that is 5 times a week or once an month, I'm fine with that. I hope you are. Even if that means my pageviews are low sometimes (BTW I've nearly 2000! THANKS SO MUCH!)

So yeah that's what I've decided. Let me know what you think in the comments

 (Sorry had to include to that! It is my new theme on Firefox)

Back to the review

I've realised that me & Penny are alike in many ways. One way is that nobody else knows we blog.

I give it...
