Long Time No Blog

So it seems that I've re-entered the realm of blogging?

I’ve been absent for 2 months due to some personal circumstances. I won’t delve into great detail for obvious reasons but in January, I finally found out that I was suffering from anxiety which explained pretty much everything that I was going through for seven whole months. Since then I found it immensely difficult to cope with certain things, which is why I decided to stop blogging all together until I felt ready. The reasoning behind this was that I didn’t want my posts to sound as if I was ranting or having a good old moan or whatever, and although I am known to many people for being an absolute pessimist, who would want to read negativity all day?

This is habit I was, and still currently am, trying to break.

Now, two months on, I’m feeling much better. I still have days where I feel completely worthless, however, I’m recovering. I’m learning to appreciate the beauties of life, and even though I’ve been going through some hardships, there are so many other people out there who go through experiences much worse but are still happy. Through hardship I’ve realised that I’m pretty lucky. Now I’m much happier and grateful.

About my blog. I’ve made a few changes. At first, I started blogging with the intention of writing random things, but as the months progressed, I realised that most of my posts were revolving around the subjects of student life and studying. Therefore, I’ve decided to change the blog url/name to ‘A Students Confessions’ and as you can probably tell, most of my posts will be about student life. Apart from that, I’ll be writing some book reviews, and just random opinions of mine.

That’s all for now really. I’ll try to blog when I’m not drowning under an interminable ocean of coursework prep and the like, evidently trying to test out the ‘work and life balance’ notion. Let’s hope that it works out!
