Welcome

 Covent Garden Marketplace

My name is Megan, and this is my new blog. It will feature mostly lifestyle posts, potentially with the odd political/topical post, and will (hopefully) become a place that I can share snippets of my life. I study at Kings College, and live with six other girls at the moment in university accommodation. I spend most of my free time just wandering around London, I normally frequent the same places, as I am a bit of a creature of habit. I like routine. To the left there is a picture of me at Covent Garden Marketplace, about ten minutes from where I live. This particular day my parents had come to visit, so we spent about two hours just walking from stall to stall with them speaking to almost every stall owner. Fun.

St. Paul's Cathedral.

In central London, and I  am surrounded by some beautiful places. When I first moved to London, from the seaside town of Bournemouth in September, I was terrified. My anxiety levels were through the roof, and honestly I thought I had made a huge mistake. I'm the type of person who won't walk into a room full of people by myself, I hate public transport because I have an irrational fear everyone is looking at me, and I don't like confined spaces. The second my parents left me at my uni halls, I thought I was going to die. The thought of leaving my room to go and talk to my new flatmates made me feel physically sick. But I did it. I made friends with them all, and although I did spend the first month or so mostly staying in my room, and declining on all but two nights out (I was worried I would have a full scale panic attack if I went out and freak them all out), now I have made amazing friends with all my flatmates, who respect when I need space, and have helped me home when I am panicking. Despite living in the centre, and being surrounded by mostly very tall buildings, sometimes I like to just go out and walk. I find the most beautiful spots when I do this, and I realised that it isn't just the beach that can be calming and relaxing. Sometimes just looking at a really pretty building, like a cathedral or walking through somewhere like St James' Park can give you the same feeling of tranquility.

Through this blog, I hope to share some posts about fashion, beauty, food and general life bits and pieces. I hope you will find it interesting.
