What I've Been Up To | Life Update

Hi lovely reader! Long time no post I know. First off, let me just say thank you to the people who read "Not Exactly Plain Jane", I am so happy with how the blogging world has been treating me. Since it is going so well, I thought it would be fitting to share a little bit more about me, gradually of course, because I know that when I read blogs I'm interested in the people who are writing them too. So today I'm going to do just that, a bit more of a lifestyle post.

As you may be able to tell I haven't been posting as frequently as I usually do. The reason for this is that I am now at college or university (whichever you say). Now I'm not going to lie to you and say "OMG I was so excited to go" or "I've been waiting for this all summer" because in all honesty, I really haven't. I've been quite scared and massively anxious, the thought of going away to school made me feel sick. I also have some anxiety issues, but I'll save that for another post. None of my close friends are here so in a way I'm starting all over. This idea terrified me but also excited me deep down. So the amount of stress and preparation has led to fewer posts this last week. I apologize but I know many of you will understand. 

Now that I have been here for a little while, I quite honestly, I'm proud of myself. I've done more things recently than I would have before and I've enjoyed it. I'm pushing myself to take steps outside my comfort zone, even if they're little. Do I feel 100% comfortable here and ready to go? No not at all, I'm still scared and unsure, but I'm taking things one day at a time, and thinking that way has made a massive difference. Since I am away, it may mean that I won't be able to do some of the posts I have in the past as often (mainly hauls or OOTDS), but I have already been brainstorming some new types of posts.

So if you are starting any type of school, job, or new experience that you are worried or anxious about, remember that you are not alone! (If you ever want someone to talk to, the comment section or my email is a great place, I'd even be happy to chat on twitter!) 

Have a fantastic weekend! Xx
