I've been away… for quite some time, I've been a bit of a poor blogger…
From previous posts you would be aware that
I was in my final year of university, and it has been hectic to say the least.
Doing my first and second year of university was difficult at times but most of
the time it was fine and peaceful (most of the time) and then others would warn
me about final year, telling me, ‘Oh it’s quite a big difference with the work
load and difficulty from your other years…’ And I was thinking, I've done it
for two years now, can it possibly be that different? Yes, yes it can. However,
the stressfulness, the work load, the crazy days and evenings of doing work for
hours and hours was worth it. Even with the cloud of work above my head
constantly, it has been an amazing year. This, of course, has been a big reason
to why my blog has suffered from neglect, but, it’s no excuse really, I should
have kept it going. However, these things happen, but now Chloe Chats returns!
Expect to see a new post once a week, and
maybe, at times, a few in a week, as I’ll be blogging in my spare time around
working (fingers crossed for a graduate job as soon as possible, pls.) But as I
am most probably done with education now I can take you a long with me as I
step out into the world! (God help me) Joking aside, hopefully big things will
come my way now!
I have always enjoyed blogging about life
experiences, and having posts on helpful advice, so I will continue with that, and
hopefully things I have gone through (like university) and future events such
as where I go now I am done at university will be helpful to others that are
going through it or about to. I don’t want to bore you with me blabbering on so
as I have been away for so long I shall continue this post bringing back my monthly
loves, that way you can also find out what May has been like for me!
As a
quick note, I would love to see others chat about their monthly loves, so do
comment below your blog with this little tag and I would love to check them
out!
What I watched: I'd say for this last month, which started at the end of April, would have to be the new Game of Thrones season, of course! We had to wait a long, tortuous, lengthy year for this but it was well worth the wait. (My year wasn't really tortuous but just go with it) I won't talk about the episodes and so on just in case anyone does want to watch, although I'm sure the internet is spoiler galore, but it is always so intense, full of drama, and full of very, very, heartbreaking moments. If you haven't seen it at all, and think most of the time, what's the big deal, and why are people so insane over it, it is a very good programme, I would highly recommend.
Oh look, who's that loser in that picture? (awkward giggle)
What I snapped: This wasn't in May, I'm a liar I know, but I like this snap, and as I missed out on my April Loves, I thought I'd be forgiven if I put this here! I went to Amsterdam in April, and here is the stereotypical picture of one of the many canals.
Lovely.
What I wore: I wish I was cool and could say something that was really fashionable for this section, alas, I am not. I bought a striped tee not too long ago that I enjoy wearing at the moment, nice for something to just put on that looks nice but isn't overly smart.
What I did: I'd say for a couple of days in May there were a few special events that happened due to friends leaving university and going home for good, (cry) but they were really fun send off's and memories I shall cherish! One event was a surprise early birthday/leaving party which was really fun and as a good sign of a good night out, many hungover and sick people in the morning! And the other a chilled barbecue on a nice warm evening chatting and relaxing! Some pictures follow...
What I ate: The weathers been very nice recently and for some reason I think of food involving fish a summery dish. (That rhyme though...) So anything with fish in it I suppose, although I've been craving different kinds of fish instead of the usual cod, here's a picture of a meal cooked not too long ago...
This contains, salad, with French dressing, plain rice, fried whitebait with a thousand island dip, and a piece of cod covered in black pepper and sea salt.
What I drank: Other than the usual drinks like tea and water (which is kind of dull I guess), a nice home made drink of strawberry and mint flavoured pimms mixed with lemonade and fruit such as oranges, apples, strawberries and raspberries and then a load of ice and put in the fridge for a bit for it to get cold was a very nice refreshing drink I guess!
Where I went: To be fair, I didn't really go anywhere in May if I'm honest! May was a very busy period for me at university and it involved a lot of sleepless nights doing assignments so there wasn't much time to go anywhere exciting. So just for this month I will slot in last months favourite place I went, which was of course... Amsterdam!
It was pretty cool to say the least! I went for a birthday kind of thing so it was with their friends but I had never been before and people always go on about it so I was very much looking forward to going! It is an extremely pretty place, and the weather wasn't too bad either! I'd like to go again but have more spending money on me next time as it can be a little pricey!
What I used: If you don’t already know this part is for
an app that I’m loving at the moment, and there’s a few… as usual I’ve been
loving Snapchat’s app – purely for the face swap, it’s gold! But I’m going to
choose a different one as that’s quite an obvious pick. There is an app called
Neko Atsume: Kitty Collector and I guess you could say it’s a game but you
basically have a yard and put cat food down with the yard filled with fun
things for cats to play with or nice cosy beds for them to lay in, and as you
check it throughout your day you’ll see loads of different cats! You can take
pictures of them and make an album for each of the cats, and with every cat
they leave you with grey or gold fish, and with these fish you can buy new
goodies, better food, or get a yard expansion to have even more goodies set out
for them. Even though you barely do anything, it’s just so hard not to go on!
They are all adorable cats, every time I get a new one I say that it’s my
favourite! It’s also free unless you want to buy fish on the game instead of
waiting but waiting is the much better option, it doesn’t take too long to get a
load of fish!
Thank you for reading, and I shall chat to you soon!!
