The Sunday Post: My First Blogger Meetup!

Some of the girls at the meetup// A cheeky mocktail, yum!// I made the mistake of downloading the Sims 3// A bit of at home Costa love// Very slowly getting there with my web design course// A view of Manchester// Playing with Afterlight's new app features// I found the best thing ever invented// The most overrated book known to man// I got my business cards through, who wants one? ;P// Moving on to a new book, hope this one is better// 

It's been a pretty eventful week this week and also a pretty boring one. My first mistake was giving in to the huge Origin sale (the games website not the skincare brand) and ended up downloading the Sims 3. Well, there goes my life, I forgot how many hours you can dwindle away playing with imaginary families. 

I also finished the most hyped up book ever, The Fault In Our Stars, boy was I disappointed. I'm sorry if you love this book but it is definitely not as amazing and heartwarming as everyone makes it out to be. It's not clever it's pretentious, the characters are annoying and I just didn't connect with their relationship. I'm not going to rant about it but it does make me angry that I read this thinking it was going to be an epic love story and it was just another teen romance book, someone stop me on my angry tirade. 

Moving on from disappointments to more happier times, this week I had my first ever blogger meetup! It was hosted by the lovely Holly from Holly Goes Lightly at The Whim Wham Cafe, who was super friendly and put together a really informal and friendly gathering. My anxiety has been at an all time high this week so I was a tiny bit worried that I would freak myself out and end up not going, but I pushed through and got on that busy train to Manchester. I am really glad I did, I wanted to do something where I would get to meet new people, what with all my Uni friends being scattered all over the country. I do wish I'd gotten more pictures so that I could write up a proper blog post, but I was so busy trying to not have a Godzilla sized panic attack I didn't really think it through. Do not fear though, I'm going to another event at the end of July so I'll make sure I take my camera.

Other than that I haven't been up to much, just job hunting and doing my web design course on Treehouse. I thought I may as well use my unemployed time to learn a new skill and HTML is always a handy tool for a blogger to have. 

Let me know if you have been to any blogger events this year or if you have any planned! Its pretty normal to be absolutely terrified of meeting new people but it is honestly worth pushing through the fear.
