Being Happy.

Two days into my design placement and i'm now in bed with a cold/flu; some weeks really do not go to plan..
I uploaded all the photos I took over Christmas onto my computer and it made me feel slightly homesick, I always find getting back into the routine of 'uni life' hard, especially the part of living away from the people and places I love, but for these final 6 months of Uni I really feel determined to push myself to enjoy all the things that this time next year I'll be missing.
I find myself focusing a lot on the places I'd rather be, the people I wish I could see and the lives that I can't help but be envious of whether their my friends or internet celebrities.. some days its easy to want to emmerse yourself in anyone's life but your own.
I hadn't made any new years resolutions so far for this year (except to learn all the words to Paul Simon- You can call me Al.) But from my (sick)bed I want to try and make 2015 a year of appreciating everything and everyone I do have and making more of an effort with them. Whether that mean's prying myself away from netflix so I talk to my friends or finding the positives in my life rather than the negatives, I really just want to see my world as something that's just as good as everyone else's, if not better because its mine and I have so many amazing things in it.
