I'm going back to uni on Saturday. The terms at my university are very short: 8 weeks, so all i can think about is how intense the next two months are going to be and strategies to stop myself from falling into the pit of madness.

Enough about my life. Does watching the news make you feel as depressed as I feel? I'm starting to understand how ignorance may be bliss; though I really fear ignorance (I just can’t stop talking about myself..!)

Some pics of mine I wish to share and a video by an awesome youtuber (I'm gonna do a blog post in the future about YouTube, inshaAllah)

So the humour in the above vid may not be for everyone- she does make some 'crude' remarks- but i think the message she sends is really cool (considering she is very popular on youtube and influences lots of people i think its kinda nice that she makes videos like this)
