New Chapter.

So I finally know what I'm doing with my life.
I'M MOVING TO BRISTOL!!! :D *jumps around dancing*
I cannot wait to go to uni, I'm so excited! But I'm so nervous to move away from london & my family.
  This is exactly what I wanted. But it doesn't stop me from feeling sad, scared and anxious!
I need to move away from home so I can gain some sense of self and independence.
I always rely on my mum, sisters, aunty and grandma to get me whatever I need. I've had a few jobs, but they don't last long.
So I need this to grow as a person. 
  Going to uni is going to be a challenge itself. But I'm willing to do what it takes to get where I want to be.
A few years ago I didn't even want to go to uni. The thought of it scared the shit out of me and I was sure I would be living at home (in hounslow) forever.
    But after finding friends who actually had proper ambition in life. Going to uni, working hard etc, I changed my thoughts and views on life.
I visited all my friends at their different unis and saw how happy they were with the lives they lived. It was no secret that it was hard-work, money was tight and that being away from home sometimes got on top. 
But seeing their independence, freedom and generally their lifestyles made me realise I want something more from my life.
I can't be stuck in a hole. I NEED to become something...
    And I will! The first step was working my arse off and getting into UWE. 
I've done that :) 
And on the weekend I'll be moving into my new home!
    Then.... The next chapter of my life begins!!

The way of today.

I miss phone calls... The only person I talk to on the phone for anything length of time is my boyfriend. Other than that, my minutes are left there. 

Communication now comes in the form of tweeting,texting,whatsapp-ing,bbm-ing, emailing,facebook-ing.

I personally miss people calling me to see how I am. Its got so bad, that these days I ignore most of my pings, texts, fbs & emails. Unless it is something specifically important. 

I'm not going to lie, I was never one to phone people myself, and I'd get off the phone as quickly as possible. But a phone call is a lot more personal than a ping. 

I, myself have fallen into the trap of modern technology. Rather than writing a diary, I'm blogging... 

Its not very private. Yet I'm doing it.

Also, I'm addicted to twitter. - Yes I admit it.

I don't really bbm anymore - in fact I'm thinking of deleting it. But it has one major advantage, my phone is cut off right now, but because I'm connected to wifi in my house I can still use my phone for everything internet related including bbm & whatsapp... So for now, I'm keeping 'em.

My preferred way of communication is texting. But that's because I am often worried about a persons reaction to what I'm saying to them.

I think people are talking less, & typing more. But most do not have to exercise the english language while doing so... 

Technology is great... But in moderation... I can honestly say it is taking over my life, the life of my friends and my family. My cousin is 10 years old and has a BB, iTouch, laptop etc. Can the boy sit and write an imaginative story? Probably not.

Technology is stealing children's childhoods and stopping people from spending time together or actually having a conversation using their mouth...

Honestly, I can't imagine not having my BB, not being on twitter, not using FB  or even not having a phone. But I do know, secrets would be kept a lot easier if they weren't posted all over the internet. You can find out almost anything about anyone.... If you look in the right places.
