Last First Day of High School

I honestly cannot fathom.
I...just...can't...even.
My High School career is coming to an end this year. The last year of high school. Matric. Seniors. Whatever you want to call it.
There are no words to describe how I am feeling right now. Excited for the year ahead, nervous for the work load. So many mixed emotions that I can't put my sentences together.
So the last first day of high school everyone in matric realises that whatever happens at school during the year,  it will be the last time they will experience it. This makes us really want to appreciate every moment this year.
The morning of the last first day, the matrics anxiously check to see who their homeroom teacher is. Luckily, our class (12D) got Mrs. Bezuidenhout, probably the best teacher in the entire school. She always knows how to keep up the class spirit, which is something our class has always lacked. I was scared at first that our class will ruin her, since we have ruined every single homeroom teacher we had since grade 8. No, our class isn't naughty,  we just have an extravagant personality :)
This teacher, she is amazing. I would know since I was in her biology class last year. She knows how to handle any situation and any type of student. As I said, our class has always lacked class spirit, it's not that we hate each other, we just dont contribute to anything thats happening at school. But I know our class loves eachother,  whether we admit it or not, we are crazy about one another. Yes, it took time to accept everyones personality,  but we eventually grew onto eachother. Just as any other class would have, we have the nerds, the bitches, the plastics, the attention seekers, the 'I dont care', the introvert, the list goes on. We never labelled us as 'the best class' throughout high school, the other classes in our grade were always in competition with eachother. Honestly, our class couldn't care a damn. We never worried about being the best class. We just wanted to have fun! Who's there to prove it to anyway? The other grades? Please, we dont need judgement from other grades to determine how much fun we are having.
I can already picture how insane 2014 is going to be. So many suprises, so much stress. I'm excited.

Matric 2014, may the odds be ever in your favour.

May the odds be ever in your favour... Every year I'm excited for our schools birthday, there's always exciting things happening the whole week!!! This week was also literature week, so there were many things literaturical happening. On Friday, we could dress up as any character from a novel. Last year we could dress up as anything so there was more of a variety to choose from. But it was strict rules that it had to be a book character. Unfortunately, I'm not much of a book worm. The only books I've read was the Hunger Games series. The Hunger Games is my favorite book this far in life, so I've decided to come as Katniss, the main character of the story. I came to school dressed as Tinkerbell, but my friend, that was Peeta (another character from hunger games) with me, brought wet suits so we can change at school. How ironic going from a fairy to a warrior type of girl on fire. I borrowed a bow and arrow from my friend, and if I do say so myself, we look...

Tell It Like It Is | Side Chicks

Side Chicks are totally bad and can ruin your relationship. But, guys, we know you most of you want one. I'm not giving any scientific facts, I'm simply just stating what we were all thinking anyway. Nobody wants to be someone's side chick, am I right? If you think of it, it's not all bad being a side chick (I'm not saying this from experience). I know, who would ever think that being a side chick is actually great? But, seriously, just take the time to think of it. You get the main chick and the side chick. The main chick is the actual girlfriend that everyone knows about and your Instagram selfie buddy with the hashtag #InstaCouple. But then you get the side chick. Not everyone knows about her, probably not even your main chick. But your side chick knows she's your side chick. Okay, so I'm guessing that didn't really convince you that being a side chick is better than the main chick, its probably not. But it has its perks. Metaphorical example: Le...

I've BEEN wanting to wear this coat and pants for the longest time. I took the opportunity when I travelled to Johannesburg ( #CozyInJozi ) recently to build an outfit around these 2 pieces.  Firstly, this coat: SO COMFY. I wore it on the airplane and it felt like a blanket/gown. I feel like it elevates any outfit and it's such an essential piece. It's not the warmest coat ever, it's pretty thin, but I don't mind as it allows me to layer underneath and it gives a more relaxed oversized fit. Okay, the pants. I've been eyeing these at Cotton On ever since it released. The fit of it is amazing and I love the slits at the bottom. I always have this problem when I wear flare pants that You can't see my shoes because my feet are so small. This is a game changer for me and I'll definitely be wearing it more. Especially when summer comes.   Coat-  Cotton On Pants -  Cotton On Fitted Polo Neck -  Mr Price Shades -  Cotton On Boots - Doc Martens ( That Shoe Lady )...
