Motivational Quote #6


The way I see it, if you want the rainbow you gotta put up with the rain. - Dolly Parton    Free Printable

Hello everyone!!

Last year I started doing motivational posts where I would put up a quote that would hopefully brighten up someone’s day. Lately I have been looking up quotes to get me motivated for the day due to feeling a little down in the mornings. The quote I thought I would share with you today is one that is currently up on my chalkboard in my room and by one of my favourite people.

“If you want the rainbow, you've got to put up with the rain”

Its true that if you want something truly wonderful in life you got to put up with a few obstacles here and there before you get to where you truly want to be. As an acting student this quote is rather appropriate for me due to having to take on roles that may not be to your liking or getting rejection but in the end you will land a role that is your dream role. In high school drama, I found I got cast as an older and much more mature character due to most of those in my class looking and acting a lot younger than myself. Do not get me wrong I loved playing older characters but sometimes I wanted change, I wanted to show that I could play a wide variety of characters. Now at college I finally have the chance to display what I really can do and it makes me so happy knowing I’m getting to play characters that are amazing. For my final production my class is tackling “4:48 Psychosis” a play by Sarah Kane, it is a wonderfully written piece with no set directions or characters. The scenes my lecturer/director has given me are fantastic and are really going to showcase my acting skills, this performance is almost like another audition as this is may help me get into next year of my course. I hope this quote gives you a little boost in life.

Hope you enjoyed reading & have a lovely day!!

Moving Away from Home


Hello everyone!! If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter you will have already heard that on Thursday night I received a conditional offer from University of the Highlands & Islands and I am completely over the moon about it. I traveled up to Inverness on Wednesday 26th March for my interview and it was amazing. I loved the whole feel of the University and the people there seemed rather lovely. One of the lecturers who also interviewed me is the auntie of my Pastoral care's partner which is rather funny and I actually didn't know that until after the interview. The conditions that I received are fantastic, I only need a C in both English and Drama so that will be easy to achieve. My only dilemma I have is moving away from home, I want to move as it will be a new start for me and hopefully the start to my fame. My parents and almost everyone else in my family aren't as happy about my offer as I am, they don't want me to move out. I feel ready to move out, I am a rather independent person and I know living on my own will be a challenge but I think I can do it. The university does not have student accommodation so that will mean I will have to rent out an apartment or something like that. Money will be a huge problem but I have some sort of a plan worked out in my head so hopefully it will work out just fine. This offer has made me more determined and rather proud of myself, I never in a million years imagined to get an offer. This is the beginning of something special I hope, I just have to pass my exams first.

I hoped you enjoyed reading!!
