Itchy Feet...

Firstly I would like to point out, I do not mean literally. Just want to put it out there I do not have some hideous, smelly fungal foot infection that makes me feet itch. Okay, sometimes my feet do smell.... mostly when I avoid socks in the name of fashion, but you know sometimes socks just don't look right... Rant about feet over.
No! the meaning of today's title, is as you may have guessed;
I WANT TO GET OUT OF HERE
I am off to uni in September, which is definitely something to look forward to, but with one of my besties having just returned from her gap yah trip of a lifetime to Hawaii (see http://mollysgapyearadventure.blog.co.uk/) And yeah she went to Hawaii/San Fran for 6 weeks BY HERSELF. I'm so jel, but would never be brave enough to do that. Another of my good friends has just gone off for a 3 month Camp America extravaganza which is definitely something I would love to do.
Another of my best friends has been to Ecuador for a month before we started college AND is off to Australia as part of her Uni course.
My baby cuz is off to Kavos for a girls week on friday and although its not exactly travelling, I'm still jel of the booze cruises and drunken adventures she will undoubtedly have whilst there!
 My sister friend (she pretty much is my sister, not in the cute best friend 'we've known each other for so long and I know everything about her' kind of way. But in the 'we bicker all the time, it annoys me so much when she's right, which is all the time. And yet STILL I talk to her' kind of way) is off to Turkey with her Mumma and Cornwall with her boyf jel! AND my Gingeee is off to DISNEY LAND.
All of this is making me feel like I should have planned something for my summer to make my gap year just a little bit more special.
My brother caught the travelling bug during his gap years (2 of them). He lived in Holland for 6 months as a painter/decorator, as well as going to India for a month. Since being at uni he has somehow managed to scrimp enough pennies to go to Morocco twice as well as a third time on a charity bike ride all the way from Brighton! I know he wanted me to get on the bug, he bought me a lonely planet gap year trip book for Christmas last year and I was super excited to plan a trip, looking at packages to teach abroad or build an orphanage, to travel America in caddy or chunndeerrr everywaaahhh in perah! I was looking at interrailing through Europe or volunteering in Uganda.
And then, I just kind of didn't. I could have saved enough money to have a nice little uni pot AND a magnificent gap yah holiday. But apparently saying 'I'll start saving next month', doesn't actually work that well...
SO although I have worked out I will be INSANELY poor at uni. I'm kind of hoping, somehow, I will find a job and be able to make a teeny tiny amount of saving, just enough to have one whole Holly adventure, which will hopefully inspire be to save a bit more, and go on another Holly adventure... and so on and so forth!
So for the time being, this summer, I'm going to enjoy going to V festivaal with my Fav gals, making memories and home with all my best friends and going on holiday with my Parents, because they paid for that one....
Tata for now! X

Shall we have a Jabberwock?

Oh Goodness gracious, where to start with a new blog?! I think it should probably be with my name; which is Holly. 

I'm 19 and am about to set off to uni in September! I am totes excited! 

I'm not really sure why I've decided to start this blog, I've had blogs before and I haven't kept them up, but I've been reading/watching a lot of blogs and vlogs lately, and thought it would just be swell to start my own, and maybe just maybe keep it up for more than 2 posts. 

I am currently on my gap year where I was supposed to make big life choices and save up enough to survive at uni, I suppose I have been somewhat successful in the former, having chosen which uni to go to, which course to study and what to do with said degree, winner, round of applause and a pat on the back for you Holls. However the latter has not been my forte, as I have preferred to eat at Frankie and Bennies and buy stuff instead of save some dough, oops. I will officially be a poor student. Oh well, part of the experience and all. 

I am also going to be poor this summer, on the account that I have quit my job, because I hate it, because I wanted a summer and because IT SUCKS. 

Other than working, I spent most of my gap year dancing,doing my nails and eating. Which is what I've spent the majority of my teenage life doing and are the things I enjoy most. These things are improved when done with my fav gals, my dancing galdem or my family. I love them all HUGE amounts and they make a happy Holly, most of the time. 

I have an older bro who is about to graduate uni, a cuz who is basically my sister and a sister who isn't my sister.

My name is Holly and this is my first blog.

Over and out. Ta ta for now! X
