Top 16 in 2016


I can't believe I've said goodbye to 2016! If you're on social media you're fully aware that 2016 had been described as "the worst year ever", and although we've lost so many music and film/TV icons this year I think it's really important to reflect on the good that's happened in 2016. I've put together 16 of my top moments in 2016.

1. I handed in my dissertation and somehow managed to blag my way into getting a first. (One of the many miracles that happened in 2016)

2. I celebrated my 22nd birthday and actually made it into the club. It was a 'top moment' because I didn't make it out on my 21st. *sigh*

3. I traveled to Lyon, France and 'adult' me did some very fun wine tasting with my family

4. I was awarded by my University 'Biggest Impact of the Year 2016' for making changes to my course as a course rep.

5. I attended my first ever blogger hosted events including ones with Supercut, All Bar One, So..Fragrance and a couple of others.

6.  I graduated from University with a First (seriously now that was a miracle). I absolutely loved my University experience and at times I actually miss it.

7. I attended my University grad ball and had to eat Chinese at 11.30pm before we went into the club because otherwise there was no way I was going to make it through the night/or get into the club. 

8.  After graduating from University I got offered a job back where I did my internship year, and was able to start straight away.

9. I went to visit the set for the TV show 'The Royals' whilst working with Elizabeth Hurley and William Moseley and felt like a pretty big deal.

10. I got to visit the set of ITV Lorraine

11. I went to Wireless festival with work and went behind stage and met Craiiiiggg Daviiiiidd

12. I also managed to buy a flat. Because London prices are so ridiculous, there was no way I would be able to afford to buy in London. Instead, I purchased a flat up in Liverpool which I rent out. I generally don't remember the last time I felt more adult than that moment when I had to sign that piece of paper.

13. I attended the National Reality Television Awards where I met Mary Berry and fan girled a little bit....

14. I moved to London into a flat that I got to completely refurbish to how I wanted it to look, new furniture, new everything!

15. Oh and found the best flatmate ever. *waves at Emily through the computer screen*

16. Lastly, I enjoyed myself a little bit too much at my work Christmas party, but generally had one of the best times ever with my team and is a night that I will (try) and remember forever.

Here's to an incredible 2017 -  Let me know in the comments below one of your highlights from 2016!
