I've been in the UK now 4 years. In the 4 years I was never truly in love with the city I hopelessly called home. I didn't know at the time if I'd ever actually get used to living here. It was more of a compromise for myself so that I could get a brilliant education. This year however.. Things changed.
Every summer I've planned on doing something new and different, so that my summer doesn't waste away. For the first time in years I enjoyed myself and the time spent in London. Although there were no over-the-top fantastic events or anything, it was just so enjoyable. I explored parts of London that I had never been to before.. Edgware road and Paddington became favourite places for sheesha and shawarma's! Just being around my cousins and my friends randomly felt really good. I loved it. Along with that, I did various detoxes to my body which felt brilliant too.
I can now say, that I'm in love with London. It's a great place to be when you're young and free and have nothing to hold you back. I'm looking forward to my last year at university now, so that I can spend more time exploring London with my friends as well.
I'm excited for the year ahead. The year where everything else becomes less important and the degree/studying aspect of it all comes to the top of the list. I'm enthralled, scared and getting ready for exhaustion but I feel great.
So here's a very short update ending now, I hope to write more this year.. Though do I ever really stick to plans?

Oh when I look back now
That was seemes to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life
