Birthday Wishes

So this is going to be a bit more of a personal post. I have been nominated for the Liebster award by the lovely Bet from LifeAccordingtoBet and a Blogger Recognition Award by Nicole from WhatNikkiDid. I have to be honest, I haven't heard of these kind of awards before, since I only started blogging about six weeks ago, but I find the idea of it really appealing. These awards pretty much go from blogger to blogger, and it really helps small bloggers gain some recognition within the blogging community.

First things first, a massive thanks to Bet, Nikki and to anyone who stumbles on my little corner of the internet. I find it so amazing that I can get to know so many interesting people though writing about what I love. Sounds like a dream. THANK YOU, YOU ARE WONDERFUL! And you made me this happy!

Secondly, I'm going to go around the rules here a little bit and just tell you 11 random things to you about myself. So without further ado...

1. I was born and raised in Hungary, and did a year abroad in England when I was at uni. I liked it so much that I moved back for three month after my writing my dissertation but I had to go home to take my last exams at uni. I then very irresponsibly decided to move to England full time, without a job, with £500 in my pocket and nowhere to live. Didn't really think it through!

2. I didn't really wear make up until I was about 20, and my mum never understood why. (Clearly she saw the bags under my eyes more than I did).

3. Growing up, I just wanted to be Rory Gilmore from Gilmore Girls. I wanted to be a journalist, I forced myself to read a lot and I even wanted to apply to Yale, but my parents didn’t want me to move to America.

4. I have a major love-hate relationship with my fringe. When I grow it out, I instantly want to cut it, but when I have one, it annoys me to hell and back!

5. I could give you great lifestyle advice, but I'm rubbish at taking them myself!

6. I have a Youtube channel. Although I haven't uploaded anything for about 3 years now, and it’s not what you would think. I used to play music so I recorded some of my stuff.

7. My boyfriend is a major nerd. The one that has a Lego collection, pre-orders video games and wears the geekiest T-shirts ever invented. Well. Used to. He’s been through extensive fashion training.

8. I have found it quite hard to make new friends after leaving university. It seems like everyone it competing with each other, instead of genuinely supporting each other. I just don’t like the politics of adulthood!

9. I have a major girl crush on Amanda Seyfried and Emma Stone. They're such babes!

10. I have a 19 year old sister and a 29 year old brother, both in different countries, I speak to them a lot, but I miss them every day!

11. Tomorrow is my 25th birthday.

And what I'm hoping for this year? I hope that my loved ones and me stay healthy and happy. I hope my career takes a turn, and I'll no longer feel like I'm just working to earn money. I hope I'll finally have the strength and patience in me to live a healthier lifestyle. I hope I get to see my family a bit more often than last year. And I hope I get to carry on writing about things I love.

I challenge each of you bloggers reading this to share 11 random things about you! I think this is such a fun way to get to know each other a little bit better, and I'd like to read all of your random things, so if you decide to do a similar post, make sure to let me know in the comments below! Much love xx
