The one where: I review 2015

Goodbye 2015, you served me well. 

So, 2015 was a umm... a crazy year! I met a lot of new people and said goodbye to a lot too. I finally got the hang of my new (amazing!) job and I think I also grew up a bit. I have written down, in bullet points, a few things I did this year. Hopefully you enjoy.

• January 2015 - I promised myself I would become a better person and really stop caring what people thought all the time. I think I got the hang of this around February last year and decided it was time to change. 

• February 2015 - A weird month! I met someone who I honestly don't think I could live without today. It's not even been one year yet and it already feels like I've knew him for an incredible amount of time. He's taught me how to appreciate the smaller things in life and not to be so serious all the time.. 

• March 2015 - I was starting to really get the hang of work and (finally!) got promoted to PR Assistant... can you believe it? Coz I can't! It was hard getting my head around things but I knew once I stuck with it that it would be worth it. 

• April 2015 - I'm classing this month as the first month of my new life. I went on my first proper date and realised that not everything is always what is seems (future Paige will know what this means). 

• May 2015 - I can't really remember much of this month - whether it was good or bad - it seems to have totally gone out of my mind. I remember that - now one of my good friends - Roxie joined us at work and I didn't think I'd like her at first. Fast forward nearly nine months and I couldn't be without her. 

• June 2015 -  This was a great month, really. It was one of my best friends' birthday, my nan's birthday AND I got to pretend to be a lady for the day (on June 7) as I went to a really really posh restaurant. 

• July 2015 - Another great month. My beautiful mum celebrated her birthday and I told her we were going to see The Carpenters (see review here). 

• August 2015 - Nothing properly amazing really happened in this month either - nothing that I care to explain anyway. 

• September 2015 - I turned 20! Obviously a brilliant month because I became one year older (I'm not going to feel much happier about becoming older for much longer so taking it in my stride). 

• October 2015 - I went to Manchester to see Circa Waves. It was my first 'real' gig (I'm not counting going to see One Direction four times as a proper gig, sorry). I also went to see The Carpenters Story at the theatre with my mum. That was really good, I reviewed it here.

• November 2015 - Nothing much happened in this month. The year was nearly over so I was getting ready for Christmas (one of my favourite times of the year!) and the New Year.

• December 2015 - A month to reflect on the previous year. It was in this month that I realised who my 'real' friends were and that I don't need as many people around me as I thought I did to be able to succeed. I planned my year (so to speak) in this month too and I was trying to work out the person who I wanted to be in 2016. 

Here's to a great 2016, it's February now and already it's flying by. I know it's going to be a good one because... well why wouldn't it be? I have great people around me and I have A LOT to be thankful for. 

Until next time, 

The one where: A new start means something different

Something different for the new year

It's a new year which obviously means one thing; we can all stop regretting what we did 2 years ago and move on. For me, the new year brings positivity, new beginnings and even more happiness. Yes I know, we're nearly in February and this post is beyond old but it needed to be done sooner rather than later. This year I plan on doing A LOT of things so thought I would share them with you all. 

1. Travel more! I spend 90% of my days wondering what certain places look like so, this year I'm going to see them. Whether I'm alone or with amazing new friends, this year is my year to see amazing places before they become less amazing. 

2. Stop caring what others think. This one  is a must! Does that boy I seen on the bus last Tuesday really remember that I had my best perfume on that day? Does that girl across the road really care that my hair doesn't look it's best today? No. Literally no one cares what I look like and why I look like it. I need to learn this year to start living and loving my life for me. 

3. Be braver. This year I need to learn to say yes more...even when I'm scared of what might happen. I don't want to get to 50 and be like "why didn't I just go out that time when I was 19?" I'll regret it when I'm older, I know I will. 

So that's it...for now. My top 3 "things to do this year". I seriously hope I do them. 

Until next time,
