Turning 21!

Hi guys, sadly revision is currently taking over my life so I'm not blogging as often as I'd like to, but today I will. Last week, I celebrated my 21st birthday and it honestly couldn't have been any more perfect. I'm incredibly grateful for all the friends and family I have in my life and I have now accepted that I'm a proper adult (18, 19 and 20 were practice years).


The celebrations begun with a visit home for the mayday bank holiday weekend, as I'd just finished all my lectures and saw it as the last opportunity to see family before my impending exams. Whilst at home, we celebrated by grandparents' joint 90th birthday and spend a day in the Lake District with extended family. Then on the Monday, my parents drove me back through to York to head out for a meal.

I must say, I was more excited for the 21st birthday than I have been for a birthday in many years. I think I was more excited than I had been for my 18th birthday. And in all honesty, I think its purely down to my friends. I started the day by opening presents and cards, which my parents had brought through on the Monday. I was so spoiled and incredibly grateful for the amazing people in my life, I then went shopping (to spend all the money I'd just received) before relaxing in York Museum Gardens with an ice cream and my friend Luke. 

After retail therapy, sunshine and ice creams, we returned home and visited the local shop to stock up on barbecue essentials! There were burgers, sausages, onions, bread buns, halloumi, cheese and all the other BBQ essentials you could wish for, All my best friends came and it was such a perfect birthday, the BBQ was a huge success!

I'm so genuinely honoured to have the friends I have. They accept me for who I am, they're kind, funny and caring and I just feel so comfortable being myself around them. My friend Gabbie even made me brownies which were incredibly delicious!

21 is a relatively big milestone to meet and its crazy to think that my next milestone is turning 30. The realisation of this just makes me feel like such a mature adult.  I feel in control of my life now, I feel like I can actually achieve things and my mindset is so much more mature than it used to be (although my personality can still be young and bubbly when it needs to be)! I honestly had the best birthday ever with the most wonderful people I'm privileged to call my best friends.

Thank you for reading, peace and love xo
