Freshers Week Top Picks

Well its A level Results time! All of you must be so nervous, excited, scared, worried the emotions are endless hoping you get the grades you need for University!

I have been there believe me so I know how you all feel even if it was what feels like a lifetime away!

I didn't get the grades I quite wanted, but had a few struggles through my final year with the fact that I was in hospital for a long period of time so meant I wasn't quite as revised as I should of been! 

This didn't stop me though, and luckily still got onto the course and into the University I wanted... Yippee!

Now once you know your going to University, you will be flying the nest, leaving your home comforts to face a brand new world.
Moving into your halls and living with people you have never met before is a huge deal for someone who has never been away from home before and can be quite daunting! 

So there's only one thing that can make you feel at ease and that's SHOP!

Here are my Freshers Week Top Picks, All the must have Gifts and Gadgets you will need for your new Beginning....

This is a must have kit, for all those crazy nights out looking all glam and then great for the late get ups due to shocking hangovers, these will be your life!

Happy Jackson Pencil Case
Keep all your stationary in order with this bright fun pencil, it has such a funny slogan on the side, "Pen Orgy In Here Tonight... Pencils Welcome Too.." haha!

Vintage Dolly Deluxe Sewing Kit £12.99
You will no longer have your mum by your side to do your washing, ironing, cooking and cleaning! Its time to stand on your own too feet! I was always asking my mum to sew buttons onto coats and dresses, to the point at the age of 29 i was still having to ask my mum to do any sewing bits i would need as i didn't own a sewing kit! 
Then that Christmas i got a lovely sewing kit from my mum, which now i have to say I've used loads and will most certainly be using it soon to sew in all my boys name tags for school!


This bag is brilliant for transferring all your prized possessions from your family home to your new abode! And this then turns into your washing bag, if you need to take your clothes to the launderette or even better pile it up and send to your mums when you pay a visit! 
This bag is HUGE and comes with a zip too so all your belonging are hidden away from preying eyes!



This is a must have for any gadget lover! The Ibed lap Desk is a cushioned desk which has a slot to rest your tablet whilst lying in bed enjoying your Sunday morning breakfast! There's enough room to rest your coffee cup and toast whilst your reading through the morning news online!



Why not treat yourself after all the stressful nights and days you've had working hard to try and get the results you want, or even better get someone to buy it for you as a Well Done Gift! This gorgeous Mona Mara Necklace is a brand that Rihanna herself has been spotted wearing on more than one occasion and is a stunning statement piece and a lasting memory of how well you've done which can inspire you to keep trying and get to where you want to be!
