Third year and feeling old!

Early birthday cake / favourtie cinema treat / dissertation work began in fog, always a good omen / birthday onesie from flat mates / beautiful present / free cocktail kettle / so much free champagne, only 21 once though! / drunk Eliza Thornberry and an evil Minion in the background / toilet selfie with Amy

Having my birthday in freshers week every year since being at university meant that becoming 21 was going to need a few get togethers with family and friends before heading back to good old Bangor.

My mom got Sleeping Beautys castle made for me and it was perfect! One layer vanilla the other chocolate, yum! Felt like a 5 year old and loved it. Had one final trip to the cinema with my brother to finally see Monsters University and I wasn't disappointed! Of course I had to indulge with this delicious drink. Arrived back at Uni and the first thing I did was go straight out discussing my field work! Was so much to take in when I just wanted to sleep and the places I'm collecting my data are just so pretty. BIRTHDAY! My flat mates know me too well! This onesie is perfect and so warm though in this flat I shouldn't need to wear it but I currently am trying to fight off freshers flu! My parents spoilt me and I wasn't expecting this beautiful camera at all, but it will be used lots for my dissertation. What's a birthday without a night out where drinks are free and you're dressed up as Eliza Thornberry! Save to say it was the best night out and the best birthday ever! The hangover was surprisingly pleasant with the drinks that I'd had, there was some mixing...ops! I certainly have the greatest friends here at uni and they make life here so much fun. Last night saw the return of Rock vs Indie a favourite of ours and once again we got drunk and spent time with a Canadian band called Colfax who were really good. Since turning 21 the hangovers are much worse, feeling old now! Naturally there just had to be a nice drunk toilet picture!

Well I'm officially a third year and will be going out at ridiculous times to collect my data in the cold but I will be watching birds for several hours. So glad I have Amy to do all this with! So nights out will be few and far between now. And I will be going to Tenerife in March which I'm really excited about because the furtherest away I've been is Paris and I'm so ready to have adventures!
I've decided I'm going to be Hermoine Granger and keep my head in books and do well this year. I am determined to get better grades!

Have you started university? How was freshers week? Hope no-one else has freshers flu cause it feels like a bitch this year!
