My History Degree Is Almost Complete!

After three years of struggling, tears, stress and occasional happiness my history degree is almost complete!

It feels so strange that it is almost over, the three years of my degree have gone by very fast. I am going to miss so many people but i can honestly say that i am glad that after tomorrow i will not have to write any more history essays or do a history exam ever again. As much as i enjoy history, and i am glad i chose the degree that i did, it does take its toll after a while.

Nevertheless i am proud with how far i have come, what i have managed to achieve and who I've become as a person. University has helped me to become much more sure of myself, more confident and more willing to try new things and experiences. I have met some amazing people, some who i know i will definitely stay in touch with.

I don't think it will feel real until after my graduation but i am looking forward to having the summer to just chill and have some much needed rest. I miss sleep.

How To Study

Exam season is fast approaching which means a lot of stress and thinking 'why did i pick this subject?!!' However i have found that these tips help keep me calm during such a stressful period.

1. Get organised.

If you have more than one exam then this is definitely key. Organise your notes for each subject into separate folders so they are much easier to access. That way if you need a specific quote from a certain lecture/lesson it will be easy to find it.

2. Use highlighters.

These are a great revision tool to help you to remember important facts, dates or quotes for the exam.

3. Test yourself.

Write a practice essay, memorize it and see if you can rewrite it without looking. The more times you do this the better you will get.

4. Make a timetable.

Revision timetables are so useful, you can set yourself breaks so that you can get the balance between your revision and social life just right.

5. Hydrate.

Drink plenty of water! It helps with concentration and will prevent you from feeling sluggish after a long day.

Hope these tips are helpful!

Must-See TV Shows

If I'm not writing an essay for university then i will more than likely be on Netflix. So here is a list of some TV shows which i love and highly recommend!

1. Shadowhunters

This show is based off The Mortal Instruments book series. It is action packed with beautiful people in it. I would say it does take a couple of episodes to get into its stride but once it does it's a very good show and i binged the first series.

2. Dexter

I first noticed this show when it popped up on my recommended list on Netflix. I can't say too much without giving away the whole premise of the show but if you like shows full of murder then this one is definitely for you.

3. Scream Queens

I am obsessed with this show! It is written by the wonderful Ryan Murphy who created Glee so as soon as i found that out i knew i had to watch it. This show centers around the mysterious red devil who seems to be picking off students and creates a whole 'who dunnit' vibe.  It is so funny in parts and i would definitely recommend it.

4. Grimm

This series is based off the 'real' fairy tales, so the more gruesome ones. It focuses on a detective who is the only one who can see these creatures real faces as he is a Grimm. Its hilarious in parts, full of drama and action, and you get attached to the characters very quickly.

Hope you all enjoy watching these TV shows as much as i do!

Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner Review

After using the same eyeliner for a while now i went on a little trip to Superdrug a couple of weeks ago to try out a different one. I ended up picking the Maybelline Master Precise Liquid Eyeliner in black.

This eyeliner is a liquid eyeliner but it is shaped like a felt tip pen. I have never used an eyeliner like this before, as i usually use the liquid eyeliners with a little brush on the end, so i thought i would try something new.

First thing i would say is that i found the overall application a little difficult. This may be because i haven't used a felt tip eyeliner before but i found it quite difficult to make a precise wing compared to other liquid liners i have used in the past.

The colour itself also doesn't come out as strong as i would have liked. I found myself having to go over the liner more than once to make it as opaque as possible.

Overall i would have to say i was disappointed by this liner as i do not think it works well for me. However, this may be down to the fact that i am not used to felt tip eyeliners so others may find this product easier to use than i did.
