I always like to look at the beginning of a new year as the beginning of a new chapter of a book. I've never really be in to making new year's resolutions or anything like that but I've always liked the idea of closure. The idea of moving on and learning from bad experiences in order to improve yourself and make your life the best it can be.
Personally I really enjoyed 2015. Don't get me wrong I did have my down days but the good ALWAYSSS outweighs the bad, right?! I experienced so many new and exciting things, met so many new people and also grew closer to a lot of people!
I've always been the type of person who likes to keep record of all my memories etc so that when I'm old and grey I can look back at my life and smile at all the things I was lucky enough to do. So, with 2015 now being officially over I thought it would be a good idea to take a look back at all of the things I have enjoyed most about this year...
People
I am extremely grateful for all of my friends and family members, I honestly don't know what I'd do without them! But, there are three people who have helped to make my 2015 extra special.

Fitness
This year I have really gotten in to fitness and healthy eating. As weird as it sounds I really enjoy going to the gym and the results you get really motivates me to work harder! I have always hated my body shape and now I am finally starting to become more happy with my figure. I still have a long way to go and I know this sounds extremelyyyy cringey but I am really proud of myself for getting where I am today. So here's to all the workouts, clean eating and fun runs to come in 2016!

Night's Out
Some people may describe me as quite the party girl...I love getting all dressed up, going out and having a good time with my friends! I love thinking about all the funny drunken stories!! Here's a few pictures from my favorite nights out from 2015

Univeristy
2015 saw me finish my second year and enter my third year of University (for those of you who don't know I study Psychology at the University of Edinburgh!) I felt kind of apprehensive going into third year as this is where it get harder and your grades actually count towards your degree! So far I feel like I'm actually doing pretty well (touch wood!) and I have been happy with most of the grades I have received throughout the first semester. Hopefully I can keep it up and improve in 2016!!

Travel
As most of you will know from reading my previous posts I went on a 2 week holiday to Cuba in July this year for a wedding. It was definitely the main highlight of 2015 for me, I loved every single minute of it!! I absolutely love going on holiday and one of my aims for 2016 is definitely to travel more and go to at least one city/country that I've never been to before!
Cheerleading
Dance has always been a big part of my life and when I moved away to University 2 years ago I had to leave the dancing school I'd been a member of for 14 years, I really did miss it a lot so this year I decided to try out for the University's cheerleading team and I was lucky enough to get on to one of the competition teams! I have made so many amazing new friends though it and although the training is hard I thoroughly enjoy it and I am so glad I decided to give it a go!

Concerts
My little sister is a huge fan of the Australian boy band 5 Seconds of Summer so when we found out they were playing at the Metro Radio Arena in Newcastle we just had to get tickets! They put on a really good show and we both thoroughly enjoyed the night!

Christmas
Christmas is one of my favourite times of year as it means that I can spend a few weeks at home with my family. I just love how happy everyone is at this time of year and obviously you can't beat a good Christmas Dinner!

Writing this post has made me realise 2015 was actually an amazing year...but I'm sure 2016 will be even better!! I think that the main thing I'll take from 2015 is to do what makes me happy and not to worry about what anyone else thinks (cliched I know!) I also feel that 2015 tought me not to believe the words that people say but to believe their actions instead. I have got such a positive feeling about 2016 and I am determined to make it the best year yet!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!
♥
