As this is my first post on this blog, i'll introduce myself. Hello, My name is Alice. Not to be confused with Alice in Chains, Alice Cooper or Alice in Wonderland. I'm an introvert with the personality of an extrovert. I am the complete opposite of a minimalist and keep my life like an organised mess. I'm an actress, an ardent reader of poetry, classics and Oh Comely magazine. I am also an avid worrier.
I mostly listen to The Smiths, Lana Del Rey, The 1975 and Arctic Monkeys. My guilty pleasure is Disney songs. I used to be a singer for a band but gave up to work on my A Levels.
My desire to become a Journalist came directly from my dad - my biggest influence. My dad works freelance for the BBC and was previously the African foreign correspondent. He also studied Classics and History at Cambridge. In comparison my goal is to study at Bristol University (if I get there), to travel the world and to work in either Law or Journalism afterwards. I'd love to study History which is unremarkable considering that my house is over five-hundred years old and my family are deeply interested in our ancestry.
Procrastination would be one of my defining characteristics. I tend to excuse myself from work due to 'dire levels of stress' and spend a lot of my time trying to find different ways to relax.
"Alice, Why don't you get on with that Philosophy revision?"
"Nope, got Yoga"
"How about History Coursework?"
"I can't, baths to have, films to watch, Lana Del Rey to listen to. I NEED to bake a cake"
So round up what you should expect from my posts, I'll say this. I'm unpredictable, mysterious, it could be anything. But it'll probably be musings about elements of life, reviews of films and music and opinions on current affairs. I'll try to be funny but don't count on it making you laugh. The most you'll get is that odd throat noise you make when you're mildly amused. However, I anticipate that my future posts will be thought provoking, funny and interesting.
Thank you for reading my first post.
Lots of love
