Leaving Certificate Part 2

holymotherfuck, i've been accepted to my first choice course in NUIG

Sorry for abandoning you, my dear blog. I've been too busy lamenting life and being intoxicated. This was such an important summer in my life and I chose to ignore it... but not anymore. So what did I do besides binge watching Netflix and researching prostitution (just in case I failed the big L-C)?

I went to Indiependance, which was a festival sesh full of Irish hipster youth. I met so many lovely people and drank myself into oblivion. PERF for the teen failure, I'll see you all there next year. The highlight was the 80s VS 90s rave - it enabled me to completely lose my mind and voice.
I aged in my time away. 19. It's been a weird month because I know the best years of my life are coming, but the absolute stress of post LC life was totally killin' my buzz bro. 
Leaving Cert results came and went, the whole process was underwhelming to be honest. I'm just glad to be gone from the hell that is school.
The Debs... not much to really say. More alcohol and ignoring the people that are irrelevant to me. Everyone outside of Ireland is going to think I'm a degenerate, but Irish youth culture really just revolves around alcohol and getting shitfaced, sorry.

My future in NUI Galway awaits me. It's terrifying. It's exciting. It's mysterious.

life goin' nowhere, somebody help me, yeah

It's March. Time is going by so fast, but also quite slowly. It's a strange sensation. Instead of getting caught up in exam results or how shitty your life is, you should just take a chill pill. Relax.

So I have a list of songs lined up that have nothing to do with relaxing, and everything to do with good vibes. (Do people still say vibes? Is that so last month?)

Typical Teen Playlist You'd Probably Hear In A Movie:
Apartment // Young The Giant
Avalanche // Walk The Moon
Ask // The Smiths
Boys Don't Cry // The Cure 
City // Spring King
Freak // Olivver The Kid
Giants // Bear Hands
Snack Attack // A Great Big Pile Of Leaves
Zoom // Last Dinosaurs

January Resolutions

The beginning of a year marks change, or at least, the idea of it. January is the most disappointing month. It gets hyped up too much. Even New Years Eve parties end up "just being okay".

So here's all my failed resolutions:

1) Study More: While I have actually increased the amount of time I spend studying... it's still not quite enough. The thought is there... the energy isn't.

2) Blog: I suck at this and I don't make many posts whatsoever. Oops.

3) Rise Earlier: I planned on going to sleep at 10 and waking up at 7. I would have plenty of time to wake up, get breakfast, do my makeup and be refreshed for school. I still crawl outta bed at 8 and rush to be on time.

4) Exercise: I have no idea what I was thinking.

5) Be Optomistic: The Leaving Cert and general teen angst is stressing me out too much to be any bit optimistic.

Hopefully the remaining 11 months will be a lot easier and happier for all of us.
Love, Maeve x
