The 10 Hangover Commandments

I'm sure everyone agrees with me when I say hangovers are quite possibly the worst feeling. Especially a hangover with regrets. But going out is fun and regrets are forgotten after a week, so hangovers are the punishment we have to suffer for being 1 shot to turnt up. But to make your fragile hungover live a little easier i've become the God of drunk bitches and written a list of the commandments everyone in your squad should follow. 

1. One must not be disturbed from their slumber

2. One must not brag about 'feeling fresh' when fellow associates are not

3. One must delete all inappropriate pictures of associates from their snapchat story

4. One must keep noise to a minimum when throwing up

5. One must ask fellow associates if they want take-out before ordering

6. One must gain permission from all associates before instagraming a risky photo

7. If a fellow associate wants a cuddle one must always give in to cuddles

8. The most 'fresh' of the group must take over cleaning duties from the previous night

9. One must only discuss previous events after 5pm

10. One must never judge their fellow associates actions from the previous night

Organisation Porn

Nothing excites me quiet like a cute notebook.......okay I'm being dramatic it's not that amazing, but anything's good that makes me want to pick up a pen and get my creative juices flowing after a December of pretty much doing nothing. So here is some cute inspiration organisation to get you in the working mood (at least a little bit).

Lists/ weekly planners 

There is something so satisfying about ticking or crossing things off a list, it's like the action equivalent of wiping that thing out of your brain. There's no point making lists if you're not going to actually follow them though otherwise it'll just make you feel even worse about your life being a stressful mess. 

Multiple Notebooks

In your head everything is already muddled and overlapping constantly, don't make it worse by having one notebook for everything where you can't actually find what you need. Separate notebooks for separate thoughts/projects. But no one is saying they can't all be colour co-ordaniated... 

Productive Playlists 

I can't remember a time where I didn't work to music, nor would I want to remember those dark days. It can be pretty hard choosing the right music because if I club jam comes on I just wanna start dancing and if an overly emotional song comes on i'll start crying. You got to find the perfect mix to inspire you. If you want to have a nosy at my playlist follow me on Spotify at nicoleeeslater - yes I'm advertising myself because yolo. 

Pointless (but cute) Accessories 

Although they are a little pointless at times because really how many sticky notes, files and tag pegs do you really need? But that doesn't stop them from being cute and from me buying them. These tag pegs really help sort out all those random bits of paper laying around you room... (I know you know what I'm talking about) and they make your desk just that much more adorable. £2 from Tiger. 

I hope this post makes you the tiniest bit inspired to actually do something with your life... because i'll be the first to admit I haven't wanted to even get out of bed this January. xx 

10 Thing's You'll Learn When You Live In An All Girls House

When you're thrown into a flat full of strangers in your first year of uni you want to make the best impression on your new friends as possible. But fast forward to final year when you've teamed up with four of your now best friends you reveal the real you....the good the bad and the extremely weird.  

Lady's Are Certainly Not Ladylike

If you think girls living together will mean pillow fights and dancing all the time then you are sadly mistaken. This is our house and our safe place so if we don't wanna shower or throw up because we drank off milk we will. 


Your Periods will all sync

This may seem like a convenient thing but trying living with 4 other girls who are just as moody and tired as you are. Every little thing is something to complain about HOW DARE YOU USE MY KETTLE WATER YOU STUPID BITCH.


Every Occasion is An Excuse To Chat 

Just gone downstairs to make a quick cup of tea or take a toilet break from all the studying your gonna start doing.....of course i've got time for an hour chat about that woman who keeps looking at us next door, its an important matter. 

Your Landlord is On Speed Dial 

Without sounding very sexist a house full of girls can go into utter chaos when the heating goes down. I honestly feel a tiny bit bad for my landlord sometimes because nothing is ever right and he has a lot to do......but then I remember...he's kinda a dick.  


Everyone is Scared of Ghosts

No matter how strong one of you is or how many jokes you crack about ghosts in the house to scare everyone, as soon as you hear a noise in the middle of the night you'll hide under the covers and beg your housemates to let you in their bed.  


Baking Anything Means Sharing With Everyone

The smell of baking somehow sneaks into everyones room and the kitchen will magically fill up just at the exact moment those muffins are out the oven.......typical. 


Piss Someone Off And Your Dishes Will Not Be Washed

No matter how much you get along there will always be moments of tension. If someones acting a little odd, thats it the guards are up and for at least a day the house is a war zone and the kitchen is the battle. Plates and cups will not be safe. 


You Know Every Intermit Detail About Each Other (whether you like it or not)

Since your life has now turned into a never ending sleepover, with the occasional trip to uni you get a lot of talking done. From 3am deep talks about life to oversharing great details about your sexual habits. As well as each other, you'll get to know their boyfriends pretty well too and meeting  them can be a bit awkward: "hi nice to meet you i know all about your penis".  


Chicks Before Dicks: 

No matter how much drama is going on between your girls, when someone needs a shoulder to cry on, a person to make them fill a little less crazy or even someone to write a reply for you, your house will be the ultimate girl power team. 


You'll Get Excited to Hear Each Other Come Home 

You're so used to having each other around all the time that when they go away for the weekend you really miss them. You're like a mini drama filled family who love each other but also want to hit each other sometimes too....but thats okay. 

It may be dramatic and sometimes you will want to kill each other but living with your best friends is an experience you'll rarely get to do so love every moment you share with each other xx 

Sunday Thoughts | How To Not Screw Up Your Life

Recently a lot of questions about the future seem to keep cropping up on me, what do you want to do? Where do you want to live? How are you going to get a job? It's honestly terrifying. Not because I don't think great things are going to happen, but simply due to the fear of the unknown. I've decided to write a few tips that I think prevent me from going into a spiral of decay. 


Don't Rush

Apparently peer pressure is at it's peak during high school but I call bullshit. Pressure about the future can be a lot worse. Thinking of taking a gap year? "Oh they're not taking this seriously" Not being able to find a job? "They aren't trying hard enough" and so on. It may seem like you're being rushed but honestly take some time to really think about what you want to do and who you want to be, nothing is worse then waking up to the realisation that you're unhappy with who you've become.


Be Confident Not Egotistic

By all means embrace your best assets and the things that make you individual but don't get cocky about it. Confidence shows you know what you're doing, you enjoy what you're doing and people will see that. But being egotistic and bringing people around you down won't make you any better at what you do. 


Dream Big

Having a big dream that you strive towards gives you something to wake up for, something to try your best for. Fair enough you may never become the multimillionaire bachelorette you dream of but you should damn well try. Average dreams get average results.


Forgive Yourself / Respect Your Choices

For me personally this is such an important mindset to have. Everyone does silly things and you may look back and think, "what the hell was I thinking"? But you have to respect that you wanted to do that at the time so whatever the outcome be confident with your choice.  You can't rely on other people to understand you or forgive you but if you can rely on yourself life becomes a lot easier.


Don't Compare Yourself To Others

I get compared to so much by other people that if I did it myself I'd probably go a little crazy. It's so easy to look at someone's life and think, "well they've got their shit together" but that's not always the case, remember that we only post what we want other people to see on social media. 


Choose Your Friends Wisely 

It's so easy to get caught up in social groups and tell people all about your goals and ambitions. But not everyone will be supportive. A handful of people who love and care about you is worth much more then an roomful of people who mock you. 

I'm thinking about making "Sunday Thoughts" a frequent thing where I just write about what's on my mind at that time. Let me know what you think? xx
