Questions: Does March Actually Exist?

I'm beginning to question if March is a real month or not. Every year without fail, at the end of February March begins, and what seems like two days later it ends. No other month in the year passes as quickly as March.

Today is the 22nd and it feels like the 1st was a week ago at most. Where have all the days in between gone? Granted I have been endlessly stressing over never ending assignment deadlines for the past two and a half weeks, which probably explains why March has passed so quickly this year. But that only provides an explanation for March 2015, not March 1994 - 2014. I can assure you I was never stressing over anything in the 90's, except maybe getting S Club 7's or the Spice Girls' latest album.

I think over March 2016 -assignment and dissertation permitting- I'll really make a conscious effort to take note of March and make the most of it's 31 days, instead of letting them slip through my fingers once again.

Does anyone else find this with March, or am I just crazy?
Or any other month of the year maybe?

University: My B+ Slump.

I've had a number of results back recently, and so far all but one has been a B+. Now don't get me wrong, that's a pretty good grade and I'm happy with it. The only issue is that it's so, so close to an A; which means I'm averaging on a 2:1, but bordering on a 1st. And it seems that no matter how much effort I put into an assignment I can't quite break free of my B+ streak. I know it's such a silly and trivial thing to be down in the dumps over, but I would really love to achieve a first class honours in my degree.

I've got about a month until my next deadline; so I'm hoping the time off will somehow do me some good. That way when it's time to begin work on my next assignment I might feel slightly fresher, or more motivated and break through my B+ slump, while adding another A to my repertoire.

I'm sure a number of you out there can relate to my situation. I don't suppose you'd be willing to offer any advice?

(Thanks in advance)

A Little Voice In a World Full of Noise: Save Dippy!

I don't know if any of you have ever been to the Natural History Museum in London; but in their main hall stands Dippy the diplodocus. After 109 of standing proudly in his place, the museum are now thinking of replacing him with a blue whale's skeleton.

Don't get me wrong I'd love to check out a blue whale's skeleton. That'd be frickin' awesome! But I don't want to sacrifice Dippy for it.

As I have previously stated on here, the Natural History Museum is one of my favourite places on Earth, and Dippy is my favourite thing in that massive building. Which is why I'm here with the link provided below, asking you to take a minute of your time to sign this petition and keep my precious Dippy in his rightful place.

Jottings In My Notebook: Aims for 2015.

Earlier this morning before I hit the hay, I pulled out my holographic T-Rex notebook and on the top of a fresh page scribbled '2015'. Then I started to jot down some of the main things I wanted to achieve and work towards in the coming 365 days of 2015. At first I didn't think the list would been very long as I'd never really be one for making any form of New Year's Resolution. But the length of my list once I had finished it was quite surprising; and I didn't even write down everything I wanted to achieve in 2015, just the stuff I felt was most important to me!

So here's a little look into what I want to get out of my next 365 page chapter:

• Really make an effort to practise mindfulness,
• Make yoga and hooping part of my daily/weekly routine,
• Actually use the library,
• Become more confident, especially in terms of body confidence,
• Go to a film premier,
• Go to more concerts -at least 3,
• Open a savings account with the aim of saving £1,000 by the end of the year,
• Go ice skating more,
• Write more,
• Read more,
• Take more photos,
• Make more of an effort in learning Italian,
• Help people more -especially those in need- in some way or another,
• Give less of a fuck about people's thoughts/opinions of me,
• Realise and take note of who my real friends are -hold onto them and let the others go.

What are some of the things you guys are hoping to get out of 2015?
