amourvita: August 2015

Wow! What an episode. So much more revelations and the ending of the episode.. Honestly this show is just soo good. Each episode just keeps getting better and better.

This episode was all about, Harvey, Mike and Jessica's past. Learning about Harvey's family background and to finally get more answers on what actually happened was so good because Harvey is such a mysterious man that in the first few seasons we didn't get in depth with his past till now.

Mike's past has been the main plot of Suits. Having him become a lawyer, even though it was totally against the law was interesting, but the fact that after 4 and a half seasons he's getting arrested. About time! As much as I hate that to happen especially when things between Mike and Rachel has been going so well, it sucked that the episode ended like that. Because he just resigned, and was ready for a new chapter in his life.

But looking at it as a show. I think this was bound to happen sooner or later. Since this issue can't go on for another season. It's going to be really intriguing to have this new plot, on how they are going to get Mike out of prison, because I'm sure Harvey is the one that's going to help him get out.

But who's the one that told the police? The priest? Claire? Who?

However finding out about his parents and how his life was when he was young, was nice to see. Sometimes flashbacks are actually good to have, and in a show like suits, it's not always. This just shows that the flashbacks are important.

Jessica is a character that I honestly hate so much at times, though I have to say she is one strong, and powerful female in the show. Again it was great to see a bit of her past and her emotional side because Jessica is totally mysterious.Im just thankful she got the firm still because I wouldn't want anyone else to have it but her (or Harvey).

I really loved that short scene between Donna and Paula. For a second during the beginning of season 5 I actually thought Paula may be Harvey's new love interest and thankfully she hasn't, so I hope it remains like that because, even Paula can see how can Harvey miss a lady like Donna. I wish they would get together already!

Now we've got to wait till January for the next 6 seasons *cries*. I'm just glad that most my shows are coming back in October! Yasssssss!

Just a week left till college starts, some of you may have already started school, and some college students like me will be back to school next week.

One thing I love about being back to college is shopping for the supplies I need to survive the year. Since it's going to be my second year of college it is going to be quite hectic so I'm going to have to keep my head down and study hard.

So for this blog, I have decided to show you guys what I've got my school survival supplies and other items I take.

The first item is the main essential item and that is the bag - because we obviously need something to dash all our books, ID card, purse, pencil case etc. I usually buy a new bag every year, since it's needed, because the old ones get quite tacky over the year.

I brought this standard yet perfect fit bag for college. The inside of the bag as you can see is spilt into two sections. It has 3 pockets inside the bag, and another pocket on the outside at the back. The bag cost about £20 which was not a bad price since bags like this cost a bit more in other high branded stores.

Next is the stationary items! I am obsessed with stationary collections, like the amount of book, pens, colouring pencils and felt tips I have is countless. Since I will be starting my second year of college, I won't need to many items. I will be only studying 3 subjects; media studies, photography, and sociology. As well as other small lessons on other minor subjects.

A folder is definitely needed especially if you make notes of refill papers. You will need somewhere to store the paper in order to keep it all organised and in one place. You wouldn't want to come back looking at your notes and finding some papers missing. This folder was bought Wilkinson which is store I mostly buy stationary items from. It's perfect for carrying around school/college since it's not too heavy and if you have a good bag then it should surely fit.

Refill pads/notebooks/book, is compulsory because where else are you going to write down your notes. Last year I brought a book that had 4 dividers so it was good at first because I didn't have to have so many books in my bag but later on during the year it got annoying especially, if one section finished yet you had to bring that big book and another. So this year I settled for 2 refill pads which should last half a year for me. It's already hole punched so you can easily input it in your folder.

This cute little book was brought from tiger for only £1, I originally brought it because it just looked cute and for me to end up storing it in my cupboard. But instead I've decided to use it as just a notepad to jot down things like homework, deadlines etc. I like to write things down most of the times, but if you are someone who don't then the other option could be typing it on your phone and leaving a reminder.

Another item is this A4 wallet folder, I will be using less of the normal folder and more of this since its more convenient and easy to carry. It's perfect to store papers and waterproof. So if you have a bag that doesn't close then this is more suitable than a normal folder since your papers are less likely to get wet and ruined.

Pencil case it not really required. I honestly just use it for a couple of days then it's back into my cupboard since I just store a couple of pens in a zipped pocket. Though just for the sake of this blog, I will be showing this bit. This pencil case is quite old as you can see from all the scribbles. It has 3 compartment. One section has the colouring pencil, another section has pens and the middle section just has rubber, sharperner and pencils.

And these are the items inside the pencil case. A couple of black pens since I don't really like blue pens - weird right. A bunch of colourful pens since it's just so cool, and I just lovely using them. The pencil, rubber and sharper is not essential for me because I just don't need it for the subjects I study. Lastly the highlighters are quite important, for highlighting important parts for revision and more.

This is the final part to this blog. Items that are needed to survive college year, and very useful to have in your bag always.

A purse to store all your cards, and money because you never know when you will need it.

I always need my hand cream, because my hands tend to get dry, so having the cream is always handy.

Your college ID is necessary. For me if I don't have my college ID then I have to go all the way back home or pay to get a temporary one for the day, so I have to always have it in my bag.

As you guys can see my memory card is attached to my ID card since it's so small and easy to lose and my other half gave me the idea so why not. Memory card is essential for college because you can't trust the college computers to always have your work there, which is why having a memory card is important because you can always back them up which just means less stress.

Mirror + Girl = Hell yeah. Us girls need to look in our phone or mirror so many times! Just hoping we don't look effed up.

Keys is an obvious reason, parents or siblings won't always be home so to avoid being locked out its useful to have your keys on you.

And the last item is the common and most needed item. Headphones!! I honestly get a panic attack if I find out that I have left my headphones at home because I always need them. Either during lessons, walking to college or back, or just simply because I'm bored.

That's about it. This post has been quite long, and I'm sorry about that but there was just a lot to mention in this blog. I hope this has helped anyone starting or even started, yet don't know what to take.

It was fun typing this blog and taking photographs :) I've got a twitter account now so follow me at @amourvitaa.

Majority of you all, have either already got your A/AS results, or going to be getting your GCSE results, either way they are both terrifying. You have many thoughts for round your head, about whether you did good or bad, whether you did enough revision, or if your parents are going to be happy with your grades or not.

I recently just got my AS results, and let's just say that it was okay. I received 3 C's and 1 B. It could have been much better. It's disappointing when you do so much revision, and you think that it will hopefully pay off when seeing the results but instead it's the opposite. Now I was glad I passed, because that meant I could continue what I wanted to do.

But it was still quite an unsatisfying feeling. Not only that but having to go home and tell my mum the results was hard too. Since she's the Asian kind of parent that wants her kid/s to have A's. Which honestly is not a nice pressure to put on a child. Motivation is something else but being compared to someone else is just a b*tch.

What I'm trying to say is that, of course results are important(right now), but don't let it be the number one focus; if you did good then that's great for you, but if you did bad, then it's not the end of the world. Just keep your head down and work more harder to reach to the point you want.

Don't let that piece of paper rule your entire life. The cleverest people aren't always the most successful ones because it all comes down to your ability, attitude, and yourself. Why do university bother about personal statements and references? Because it's not all about the results only. Grades don't define you.

There's always other options, if you are not able to get into a college or university then always look ahead, and discover other options, don't let your initial plan be the only one. There are other pathways like, apprenticeship, starting you own business, or getting a full time job. Choose what you think is best for you, and will benefit you in the long term.

Surround yourself with people who will always support and understand you, because at times like this you may just need your family and friends. Don't do the opposite and hide yourself in your bedroom regretting how bad it went and blaming everything on yourself. Because you tried as much as you could.

I'm going to end my advice/rant here. Good luck to everyone getting the results. And to all those who got good results or not - give yourself a pat on your back because you've still reached to this point. And no matter what don't give up, just keep and going!

This day will come and go.
