It has been a VERY long time.. and I apologise. I've been literally busy busy busy (either camped out in my room with depression watching hours and hours of gossip girl or having writers block)
I wanted to share something amazingly significant which happened in my life this summer, and this is NCS;you've probably heard of this before but basically, it's a summer camp for 16-17's which gives you the chance to meet amazing new people, go outside of your comfort zone with activities and just having a laugh.
The reason why I decided to do it was because I felt as if my summer wasn't going to be good, and I needed some oomph in my life- basically making new friends.
On the first day, it was quite weird because you're surrounded by people who live around the same area as you, but you don't know any of them? However, everyone as I realised are connected to one another (mutual friends) so it made me easier to get along and start conversations.
Don't feel awkward!
Everyone is on the same boat as you are, so just relax. I felt anxious on the first day but on the second day, it felt more like I was at home and the people there are so genuine. I never thought i'd be the one telling people secrets I'd never tell my own bestfriends and they'd be the ones to understand ! People are great.
Thing is, you need to have the courage to put yourself out there- people still talk I guess: drama goes round and round and you just need to rise above it alll.
The reason why I wanted to share this blog post with you is 1) this is one of the main reasons why ive been AWOL from the blog 2) I want you guys to say YES because this is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity.
You learn new skills, independence, how to cook and how to give back to your community.
Honestly, the NCS squa are like my family. I love them all to bits.
