Jess's Jabbers: Falling Behind!

Hi!

Do you every feel like your falling behind? Like everyone else is on the train and you've not even made it to the station yet? Call me cliche but, when I was 10, I thought that by the age of 15 I would have a boyfriend and be going to party's every weekend. However, 5 years on, I have done non of those things. I have never been to a party, hell I have never even been invited to one. I have never got drunk and I most certainly have never had a boyfriend. I have yet to experience my first love, first kiss, first relationship, first party and first hangover and, although I know that they will all happen, I can't seem to shake the feeling that I am falling behind. 

It's a Saturday night, my Facebook news feed is being taken up with status about party's and what am I doing? I am sat at home, ill, in sweatpants, watching 'Awkward' and writing on my blog. I know how cliche this must seem; a 15 year old girl writing about her lack of social life and the feeling that she is falling behind, but it's true and, sometimes, the truth is a cliche.

I am not one of those girls who are like 'my crush doesn't like me so I am going to die alone with 50 cats' but I understand how they feel. As far as I know, a guy has never been 'interested' in me. This is not a fact that necessarily upsets me but it is a fact that makes me think: 

In less than 4 months I turn 16 and, as I sit in my room listening to people, mostly couples, walk past my house making their way to whatever party they're going to, I can't help but wonder if that will be me this time next year or if I will still be sitting here wishing it was?

Back To School: Motivational School, Learning and Achieving Quotes!

Hey!

I always start off the school year with loads of motivation but, after the first term or so, my motivation lacks. The problem with this is that I need that motivation the most towards the middle and the end of the school year. By the middle of the school year, the end seems nowhere in sight and exhaustion, stress or both have started to take over. This is when you need the motivation to continue and not give up. By the end, your happier because the school years nearly over but big exams start to appear and you need the motivation to study and do well. 

I think motivation is a big part of school life and that's why I think this post would be a good part of my back to school series.

Next time your in a lesson and you have no motivation to learn or to work, remember these quotes!

Back To School: What's In My School Bag?

Hey!

Although I don't go back to school till next week, I thought now would be a great time to show you whats in my school bag. 

First of all I would just like to explain a few things to you. In UK primary and high schools, you get given exercise books in lessons. You get new ones every school year and you use them to do work and take down notes in. These are given to you for free. Because I get these free exercise books, I don't have to go out and buy notebooks, binders, files or folders. Also, school own textbooks for each subjects. This means that if we need to use a textbook for subject, they are given out at the start of the lesson and collected back in at the end. This means I also don't have to buy or carry textbooks with me. Because of this, I have no exercise or textbooks in my bag. I also don't have any notebooks, binders, files or folders. We are also given a homework diary/planner from our school which means I also don't have one of those in my bag either.

Anyway, with that being said, lets get on with the post.
