CLASSY DAYDREAMER

Was I ready- for the University of Reading?

Hi!

On the third of October, I went with my best friend Cindy to the University of Reading. In this post , I'm going to explain this amazing and anxious trip.

Firstly , I had to wake up at 5:30 in the morning! This has been the earliest I have woken up to on a Saturday. Then I did my makeup.

For this makeup look, I created - I used the Revolution palette and I will go into more detail on my Instagram : tresnajma .

Secondly . We went on a train to London Euston then a few tubes.

We also stopped at Paddington station as well.

As you can tell, from from my face . I was in shock? About Paddington? I'm really not sure ...

Then me and Cindy walked a bit further and we saw this beautifully made window with a Yo sushi below haha.

Then we took a train to Reading.

We went down the escalators then found an ambassador at the bottom. The ambassadors at Reading are really helpful and friendly!

There was a Starbucks as well! I love coffee and I really like the Caramel Frapaccino! We didn't go to the Starbucks here but there was one at the Uni *gasp*

Below , as I said, was an ambassador with a red shirt who guided us to the bus. Then , she gave us a free ticket to use for the bus as well!

Thirdly , once we came out of the station , these were the first things I saw.

Afterwards , we went on the bus and took a bunch of pictures of the city! It's so lovely and has a lot of great things!

After we looked around the city , I concluded that the there was a lot of green spaces and history which I love because it's not as different to my hometown. At last!, we arrived to the Uni of Reading! The question was -was I ready?

I put this University as my first choice and after looking through the prospectus- I was so happy that this course had exactly what I wanted! This course that I chose : Consumer Behaviour and Marketing had everything I wanted. This course is more of a psychology type than the financial and mathematical courses I see at other unis which is something - I was trying to avoid. So as you can tell, I want this uni to be the best ...

We arrived safely and sound - as they say... This is a campus based university as you can tell by the map. At first , I thought I didn't mind what type of university it was. However , after visiting Westminster , I knew that campus based was for me. We followed a tour guide ambassador to bring us to the dome so we can register ourselves. As I walked through the campus - I was in love! The atmosphere at Reading is amazing.

We got through the dome by scanning the barcodes in our phones and then we were ready to look around!

I'm not sure what these places are called but they are really pretty !

I'm only posting this part this week and next week - I'll post part 2 because there's so much to see and talk about. I really hope you enjoyed 'reading' this post!

If you're at uni or you're looking at unis - what do you look for in a university? And if you are at university , do you have any tips?

If you're not at uni then what do you think about this university?

Stationery? Stationery.

Hellooo!

So I went stationery shopping because I start school in two weeks , where did summer go?

Well, to prepare myself for school , I decided to purchase a few things and with these 'things' I got amazing deals! Moreover, all of the stationeries , I have bought are from ASDA.

Firstly, I want to be more organised because I know A2 is going to pile up and I really want to get my entry requirements for University. I think a 2015-2016 diary is essential for now because I'm only going to be in Year 13 for a year so this is something that will be put for good use.

This the inside of the diary , quite small lines to put brief words. However, if you would like larger spaces , there is a notes section at the back which is handy.

These pens , were on for an offer for 2 for £3! and I just had to, I could not resist. These are my favourite pens , because they are biro they are not inky and are great for left and right handers which I think is important.

Highlighters- £3

Notepad - £3 and there is 400 pages with holes great for A levels

Ruler -40p

I got this hole puncher for a £1!! and I'm so happy because they seem to be very expensive in some places.

For colourful notes , I bought these because they are not inky which I do not like and it doesnt give me blisters like the staedler fineliners ones do. Pens £2

Sharpener- £1

Now , the products I'm going to show are from different stores , that I bought stationery from when I went on my holiday to London for a few days.

Wallets- £1 each
The reason , why I got this , was to put any loose sheets .. that I can hole punch , when I get home so I can insert it into my folder.

I do ART as an A level so I bought this A5 sketchbook, to do certain tasks I have been told to by my teacher. This is great because I get to see an improvement in my skills each time , I turn a page. TIGER store -£3

ASDA- £4

I am going to be painting for my A2 personal study , so I purchased these oils . The artists that I have researched are oil painters , so is good to use the same mediums to learn their techniques and I'm very excited to use these.

What's your number one stationery , that you can not live without?

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone is okay! This post is going to be more visual then writing . Moreover, I have also had a great summer so far and there is still three weeks left! Over the past weeks , I have been experimenting on my friends and cousins and through a few pictures I will show you what I have done! Sadly, I haven't done a step -step tutorial so here are a few images.

This is my cousin , and I did a smoky black and a dark brown look. I wanted to create a winged look but without an eyeliner. I used the revolution palette (what a surprise ) because it is literally my favourite palette , until I find another great one.

Another look , I also created on my cousin.

This is my best friend Cindy , I also did a smoky silver and black look on her. I think this look is great for a night time occasion because of the silver in contrast with the black works well. She also blogs , I'll leave a link below!

Here are a few more pictures , of the winged eyeliner - I used a black kohl eyeliner. I feel that this eyeliner , is great to blend in with the eyeshadow as well.

I also did my other best friends makeup-Laura.

For this occasion , it is also at night. I created a circular smoky eye because I think it compliments the eyes and the brows above . I used dark brown, black and a base of a light pink to get this look.

I also used an eyeliner to create an illusion of more eyelashes or a fake eyelashes look.
