Clap Along If You Feel Like A Room Without A Roof...

Hi!

I'm back again, don't worry.

Basically, I haven't written anything for (what seems like) ages because I simply haven't had the motivation.

It's been a sad time.

And, because I still don't have anything to say (apart from yay exams are soon) I've gone to Pinterest (handy, isn't it) to find an idea for a blog post.

Isn't that sweet.

So, without further ado, welcome to today's post: the top ten things that make you really happy!

 What is happiness?

According to the wonderful Google, happiness is that feeling that comes over you when you know life is good and you can't help but smile. It's the opposite of sadness. Happiness is a sense of well-being, joy, or contentment. When people are successful, or safe, or lucky, they feel happiness.

 Therefore it's pretty subjective, isn't it? What makes me happy might make you sad, so while this list might not mean anything to you, I think that everyone should think about what makes them happy because we live in a world where people aren't happy much. Have a think, then, about what makes you happy.

And in no particular order, here are the top ten things that make me really happy:

  1. Having good conversations with my sisters
  2. Good music that makes you feel (or that is just so loud that you can't hear your thoughts any more)
  3. Tidiness/having a clean room
  4. Reminiscing happy memories
  5. Christmas!
  6. Friends, especially when you're laughing with them for no reason
  7. Finishing a really good book
  8. Finally understanding something that you didn't before (*cough* Chemistry *cough*)
  9. Aesthetics (especially to do with seasons for some reason)
  10. Cats- aren't they just adorable?

That's it for today, folks. Have a good time, until I write again (which should be soon, but I do have Mocks over the next two weeks, so maybe not). 

Au revoir!

Carers Week

Hi everyone! It feels like it's been ages since I last posted anything (or really wrote anything for that matter) but hey, exams! Anyway, this week (11th-17th June) is Carers Week, so I thought that I'd do some raising of awareness for Young Carers. First of all, shout out to my friend for standing up in assembly to talk about this, and for all those who ran the cake stall at school (they raised £69!). She's so amazing, and most of the following information comes from her. There are three main types of care that someone can provide-  physical (e.g helping to get dressed), practical (e.g shopping) and emotional (e.g comforting them if they’re upset or anxious etc). My friend thinks that emotional is probably the hardest to deal with, and it can worry carers a lot, especially when they’re at work or school (is that person ok, has anything happened to them etc), and I have to say that I agree. For young carers, the most common situations are looking after a paren

Steam trains move slowly but surely

Hello :) Those of you who know me well will probably have listened to at least one rant about feminism, especially after having studied Invisible Women by Caroline Criado-Perez in English. And those of you who have also read this wonderful book will (hopefully) be joining me in ranting. One of the parts of this book discusses women's health and medicine, and how the concept of the default male (a major concept throughout the entire book) prevents women's health issues from being properly understood and treated. There were many parts of the book that made me so angry that I had to put it down and just stare into the distance. It was probably quite a good thing that we were studying it, because it meant that I only had to read a few chapters at a time and so the anger wasn't building up BUT, the revolution is here! Slowly, it comes, like a steam train. One of the parts of the revolution concerns actually listening to and collecting data on women's health so...  Please fil

Do You Think That Dragons Would Like Campervans?

Because I haven't actually written anything on my blog for a bit, the modern look threw me once again. Oops? But hello! I hope that everyone is doing okay with everything that's going on at the moment. Our history teacher said that we're living through history at the moment and that it is exciting (especially as a historian) but also terrifying. This came about because we were talking about primary sources and secondary sources and which is more reliable/accurate (because it's history, the answer is neither). If you wrote a diary about the events happening at the moment, is it more or less accurate/reliable than someone thirty years in the future writing about the events drawing from multiple sources? Haha isn't history great. It's fascinating and there are so many different interpretations that can come out of sources, much like English (we're studying Othello at the moment and I did go off on a mini-rant about how I don't like Cassio). Oh, and also I j
