"Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower."


There's something wonderful about Autumn, and although we are firmly into the winter months, I can't help but crave the colours and crunchy leaves. The promise of cosy nights yet crisp days. Bonfires and fireworks are lit while we tuck into toffee apples and a nice cup of something warm, my preference is a flat white. 
This past year seems to have disappeared in the blink of an eye. I entered 2014 with excitement about university which was quickly dashed when I didn't get in to my university of choice and a gap year seemed like defeat. Yet here I am, working to travel, working to fill time, working to gain experience. I've only just sent my third application to UCAS and I'm praying that it's enough for me to get into my dream uni. Third time's a charm so they say.
Christmas will soon be upon the world, yet all I can wish for is that my stubbornness and determination to get to where I want to be has paid off. 

Fingers crossed,
Nathalie.
