Set For Summer 2015

 

This year I have an amazingly long summer ahead with a 12 week break, I finished exams a few weeks ago and don't start back until September so I want to make this summer worth every minute, making the most of all the time I have to myself and to develop this blog and my work further!

 

I'm very excited for the new chapter of my life in September as I start college to study exactly what I've been dreaming of for a long time now to get me even closer my dream job in journalism. Of course I'm slightly apprehensive and nervous, to start at a college where there are a whole new group of people around me, but I'm more excited than anything as I will be able to extend my group of friends even more.

 

I recently sat 14 examinations in order to get the grades I need to get into college to get onto the courses I want to do including English Language, Media and Sociology, so the break away from studying will be much appreciated but at the same time I will be working hard to prepare for college and also in my day job to earn some extra money to fund my summer this year!

 

 

WHAT DO I WANT TO DO THIS SUMMER?

 

• BBQs and lots of them!
• Concerts and Gigs - I've already started with 5SOS which I posted a blog post on here
• City Trips - I'm planning to revisit London again (read about my last visit in my last post) and also hopefully Birmingham and Liverpool as I love the vibrant city life
• Prom!! I'm on the prom committee at my school this year and prom preparations have got me extremely excited for the big day - I may even do a blog post afterwards all about my experience, hair, make up, travel and of course plenty of pictures!
• Beach Trips
• Theme Parks - I may possibly be planning this very soon
• V-Festival!
• Parties with friends and family for a number of reasons including birthdays and 'just because'
• Finish my piercings - I haven't got loads and I don't plan on having an excessive amount because I don't think I can handle the pain but there are just two more I want
• Most importantly to me... catching up with friends and keeping in close contact with friends I will part ways with now we've finished school

I have already started summer; with a concert, a city trip, several catch up dates with a few of my close friends and a party already complete, but there is so much I still want to do and I am beyond excited to do them all and document every moment on my blog for all of the internet to see! What do you want to do this summer? Who with? Why? Leave a comment below if you want to share!

 

Until next time, Toni. xo

 

 

5SOS Concert Wembley - 12/06/2015.

I've been a big fan of the band for a few years now after initially discovering 5 Seconds Of Summer on twitter and Youtube, so to be able to watch them grow as people and as a band with their success and fan base has been amazing.

 

I've seen them live several times before but this concert on their ROWYSO tour was the best so far, being able to see them perform in Wembley Arena was honestly unbelievable because I never imagined their careers would excel so rapidly. I am unbelievably proud of the boys and what they have achieved so far and I'm excited to see what is yet to come from the once small Australian band, who are now huge and worldwide.

 

I thought I would do a quick blog post to share some pictures I took at the show and allow myself chance to document and remember this concert forever, as one of the most eye opening for me that success can happen so quickly and in such a life changing way.

I will continue to support and watch the band's shows and videos and tweets develop and grow into even more success as that is all I wish for them.

 

 

Until next time, Toni. xo

WWA Tour 2014 Experience.

The day of our concert me and my friend got up incredibly early in the morning! We love concerts and gigs so of course we were naturally very excited and raring to go. We had seen one direction live 3 times previous to this concert so knew that it was destined to be an outstanding show. However, we had never seen them in front of this many people; we had been to the UAN and TMH tour and even saw them perform live in Wembley Arena at the 'BBC Radio 1 Teen Awards', but never in a venue as large as a stadium!

 

As I had been to a stadium for a concert before, I knew we would have to get there early and line up all day as we had standing tickets so didn't have a reserved seat and of course, we wanted the best view we could get and thank goodness we went early because it was chaos!!

 

The security and stewards around the stadium were all very informative and happy to help us get to where we needed to be and when we did (finally) we were faced with at least 50 metres of weaved fencing to line up in; and that was just for our section! We waited to get into the stadium for roughly 10 hours, thankfully it was a lovely day and we were able to sit in the sun chatting to other people who had the same plan as us. 

 

 When we were being let into the stadium the security were very calm and the whole time very organised, making sure groups of friends didn't get split up and the flow of fans being let through the ticket checking gates was steady to ensure everyone was safe. When we got into the stadium we showed our wrist bands and were allowed into the section where we would stand for a further 2 hours to wait for 5 Seconds of Summer to come on stage as the support act. We got ourselves a very good place with a few fans we had met earlier, which was a couple of people back from the barriers at the side of the middle stage. As you can see from the pictures we had a perfect view of the show.

 

We had an absolutely amazing night and of course both 5 Seconds of Summer and One Direction performed perfectly. The entertainment before, in between and after acts was also great: with music playing along with relevant videos and adverts, the whole stadium joining in with dancing (including the light and sound men who got the audience very excited) and the spectacular fireworks show at the end of the night.

 

It was such a crazy night filled with lots of love, laughing and loud music!
