BA HONs Marketing and Advertising

Guys, girls, women, men, aliens, predictors, nargilla smokers, non nargilla smokers, cockroaches (very clever animals may I add) GUESS WHAT?! I am going ramble on about my life in the past two years whether you like it or not.. feel free and read OR well I guess the case may be, NOT!

Now I am home and not travelling any more and have time to spare on my hands here and there SO feeling I should pick up the blog a bit more.

SO going to split up this next LONG blog into different sections:

Leeds,Travel Dublin, London and Israel , Love, Fashion and jobs and getting in touch with old friends. (with theories about what I have learnt through out) but will do it in separate published writings so it not too long to read.

OK so here it goes:

Leeds

Finishing Leeds Metropolitan Marketing and Advertising Management course was probably one of the greatest achievements in my little life so far. In the last year of University (third year) didn't end up having a placement year partly due to the economic recession with there being no jobs for either graduates or sandwich part time students looking for one ( and oh its not really changed today either.)

To finish off a year of what must have been a lot of highs but an equal amount of lows we had a BBQ in the student house where I was living in the middle of grotty Hyde Park on Welton Road where shoes are put on electric cables and leaflets are posted through your front door because of certain dirty dealings! Anyway had a BBQ outside in the garden with a LOAD of alcohol, burger buns and I don't know how but half the living room furniture ended up outside too. Don't get me wrong was a frikking awesome funny night! 'the album on Facebook is called did somebody say BBQ'

You can imagine when it came to Graduation day. It was fun, a barrel of laughs, you know.. the fact I couldn't get that ridiculous american style square hat over my HUGE barnet/head of hair or the fact all the girls were in heels and tripped up over their cloaks every five minutes. When my mum just started crying everywhere all the time or when your grandma and says you've got something on your face and gets a wet wipe out, remind you of anything in particular like that of when you were in the school playground age 14 and you didn't want your parents to be there?! embarrassing baloney...

Time for the ceremony: everyone got up row by row to go and collect their awards. There me and my course mates are queuing up by the side of the stage, whispering a number and our names into a woman's ear, ready for the presenter to shout out our names and final grade. VICTORIA SAUNDERS and there I go across the stage looking like a fur ball or one of those tumbleweeds rolling silently across a desert, look over at my mother what she doing? yeap you can guess.. crying all over the place. Along with my grandma!

what seemed like hours later we were lead out into a great hall/tent which looked like it was about to fall down/ shiny white building in the distance full of food. I mean thank thank the Lord that they actually had FOOD. Put it this way I paid a hell of of a lot for one ticket bearing in mind there were 5 of us. soo you get to meet the bumbling parents of course mates here and there. You know how English people are..Hugh Grant that's what other Europeans or The Rest Of the World (thats how the specify it when you looking at an advanced search when trying to find a job I mean 'rest of world' eehh?!) anyway shy and introvert. One of those days hey, that when you get home want to kick off your amazing shoes and think well that was a day of independence, well-being and honour but now I can write next to my name BA HONS Marketing and Advertising Management! woo hoo!

All of this was last summer ever since in the past year the government have passed rules in the law of fees per year going up in Universities in 2012. This makes it even harder for people to go. Just hope my brother and sister one day get to look pretty and walk across that stage on day.

I must say a year down the line and I have not kept in touch with the Leeds friends as much as I would have liked to! Gotta meet up soonage guys! miss you all dearly!

Next blog is about my travels! pshhhh xx

Try not to fall in the trap...

Well well well, actually not written in the blog spot for ages! There are not enough hours in a day, week,month to spare sometimes.
Well back at university,obviously situations have been going on.

I was having a conversation today with a coursemate and of course what else would it be about other that the subject of errr men!
Were talking about my past and her past and she said listen to me... if you love somthing set it free, because sooner or later it will come back to you.. she told me an example of this, in which it had happened to her and somehow I actually believe it, she won me over with her thoery because shes back with her bf and has been happy ever since.

Recently Ive had a spot of bother with a guy id met a few months ago, in which I told a male friend about.
He than told me something which Ive been dying to write in.
So here it is ... he has an older sister , shes in her later twenties and met this guy and my mate thinks he awesome he got everything, great man perfect for his sister.
His sister faults him, over the smallest things like not spending enough time on the phone in his busy scheduled day and makes a fuss. the reason he told me this story was for the very reverse reason which clicked, my mate thought I was trying to find the good in a guy that decided his job was more important than myself and said that i would be at the bottom of his priority list, so to me he really was just a guy... DELETED, its VERY hard to see a situation you are in from an outer perspective unless you consult.

Another story about weirdness of two people i just dont understand, I went out in Leeds on Saturday night with a group of mates, one of my guy mates (A) was with another girl who had visiting in the club, my girl mate (B) was with me. These two A and B have a very weird relationship with each other, very flirty and touchy feely like dancing together drunk in a clubs when they can. Anyway A was VERY drunk was with the girl but was texting B at the same time saying he wanted her. B and myself couldnt understand this, so A and B had the convo about it a few days later and he appologised and B thought that drink wasnt a good enough excuse.
A is now texting the girl and thinks something will happen in the next few months, B doesnt know what to think.

We aint getting any younger and yesterday my grandparents gave my family a scare, ive not seen them in a while but it made me realise to tell people who care about that you do, being away from home isnt easy when you hear about family troubles. Just make sure your close with your family, at the end of the day theyve been there for you your whole life.

So I named this blog try not to fall into the trap for a very good reason, guys will come and go make you, feel crap, down, but at the end of the day keep yourself busy because as long as your happy within yourself, then you make someone else in the future just as happy!

Sometimes things are better left unsaid...

Reason why some things are better left unsaid is because of the phonecall I had at four am, whatever happened it didnt go well he was drunk I was annoyed from recent happenings and confessed something that made him annoyed but realised this morning after sending a text, that things are how they are for a reason, hes going away I can't do anything about it waiting around is impossible.
When someone leaves your life yes u feel terrible aww dam there's nobody to replace them all you do is take your time, take each day as it comes and there is always somebody close that you can talk too.
Your friends are there for you no matter what, I just can't even begin to tell you how much mine mean to me.









After that rant discovering new music is a passion, though most of the music I discover is probably years old, spotify is great for this.
This morning there was no1 in the house so on went Micheal Jackson - Blood on the Dancefloor full blast out of the ipod speakers and decided to dance non stop to it for ages with it on replay..
Talking of music and bands I went for a run with an old friend from school, hes in a band, realising how much effort he puts in to pushing them good on you Alex!
I went to one of their gigs recently at the Acadamy.. It was impressive how much they have come along, they are called Epiphany they have a my space check them out!

So a shout out to my friend who just had an operation recently in Leeds I am extremely proud of him and hes a different person to when I met him in first year Uni, hes lost an immense amount of weight and his confidence has shot up like ive never seen, hes mental but a good mental!
Also my grandma is having a hip op on Wed, shes worried but family will be there for her..

Its a year of 21st birthdays for me my first is at the end of the month Ey Nat?! so London town it is again at the end of the month!









I have no idea what to do for my 21st i want to do somthing bazzare and different I dont wana do the usual clubbing... let me kno if yo have any ideas! My weird idea was to hire a bus take it round Leeds with everyone and get snookered!

Ill leave you with a great classic song you may or may not have heard of, the Leg-end Micheal Jackson- Blood on the Dancefloor!

enjoy bopping! xx

I felt the need to name my blog 'Writing, as well as talking, can ease emotions.' because there are a few things id like to share!

I feel I may as well start it on a happy note! This summer so far has been a mental roller coaster! At the start of the summer, I got home from university (Leeds Met) which is now being changed to Leeds Carnegie which I personally do not like. That means next year we will graduate under that name instead of Leeds Met HM I wonder how that will look on every ones certificates. bit like crap to be honest!

Well little did I know that I would become a MASSIVE jet setter round England loads this summer! 'Ull be going to Scotland for your first job' said the guy on the phone to me.' when he asked me to fill in for another girl in the merchandising job I applied for, which is how it all started!
The next day, went up to Scotland with two other people from Manchester, I was asking so many questions, didn't know what on earth I was going to but in that's three hours it took to get to Glasgow I had found out that the guy in the car with me travels round with bands like the yeah yeah yeahs on their tours ,stopping for food and we got pulled over by the police for speeding (they were following us for miles down the motorway) and got a fine!
Eventually got to Glasgow and went straight to Asda (which is where we were apparently refitting the clothes department) and got stuck in. Was the weirdest job Ive ever done in my life!
I was considering dropping out of the job on the very first week but I stuck to it..
I think the lesson here is 'Great ability develops and reveals itself increasingly with every new assignment' this is a quote I found by Baltasar Grecian, but basically with everything time u stick to something you may not like for at least a while you 1.May end up liking it 2. You may gain something from it in the long run. So for all those people who give up whatever it is, after just one go, try again...

As I am a girl I think too much, I think other girls can relate.. but when a special person you happen to like takes you out one night for drinks treats you like a princess, then turns completely around either the next day or a few days after.. You just don't end up appreciate it anyway so why ask to take them out in the first place huh? Guys and girls lead on others too much these days.

Anyway to top it all off

I realised the other day.. that Ive been having an amazing summer just because I have incredible friends,some live far, a few live near, but i just appreciate everyone being their for me, you know who you are!!
