Do I see vlogging in my future?

If you are friends, family or read my blog regularly you will know I've just finished my first year of University at Sunderland, you can read a previous post here, reflecting on this past year. 

But now what I want to share with you is a specific module that I had to study this last semester and that would be Online Video Journalism.

There are many many many definitions as to what people class a VJ as but to keep it sweet it's basically self shot videos, self editing, basically everything done by yourself, in this case for online. However, it can work as a team of VJ's, but you can't because not one person is doing all the work, some people think it doesn't matter about quality as long as you have captured what you need etc. 

It can get quite confusing but we'll keep it at that. 

OOTD: Back To Uni

Today was my first day back at University after a nice three week break. 

I've had a lovely time off but I've definitely missed having a routine.

To prepare myself I did a little last minute shop yesterday and went to Teeside Park. I literally bought one thing. Nightmareeee!!!!! but good for my bank account.

The slogan T-shirt reads 'carbs' and is from H&M, costing just £7.99, bargain.

I do love carbs!

Living at home for University: Perks & Preparation

Living at home perks

So as most of you know I will be studying at The University of Sunderland in just under a weeks time, to study Fashion Journalism. I'm super excited to see everyone again that I met at summer school and to finally experience freshers... I'm a year behind okay most people in my year went to uni last year, I just didn't have a clue what I wanted to study. Although I will be studying in Sunderland I am going to be living at home and travelling through. Sunderland is about a 20 minute train journey/30 minute drive so it really isn't that bad at all. I chose not to live in halls as I've already got everything here on my plate, speaking of plates I can't cook so I would probably starve or live on pot noodles and look like a whale, I also don't particularly know how to use a washing machine (even though I used the one at work today, shh don't tell my parents). I know University is good for learning all of that kind of stuff but I'm just not interested in that yet, I don't think I ever will be with cooking, maybe next year, plus your parents are the best people to learn from, right?
