My developing life as a Journalist

Hello my beauties!

This past few months at university have been rather chaotic; one 2,000 word essay talking about council tax, developing my writing skills to be able to successful write decent articles and enjoying the social aspect by celebrating life with the four most amazing girls!

This month, my first article was published - and if you follow me on Facebook or Twiiter, you'll know how exstatic I have been. The article was about the guys who produced 'Feel the Love' Rudimental and I was successful enough to interview one of the band members Piers Agget. I absolutely loved interviewing him and he was exceptionally understandable when I began to stutter and get nervous.

Last Friday, I finally saw my article in full in The Nottingham Post which is Nottingham's local newspaper. Talk about a proud journalistic moment!

I then found out that my article was being used into today's East Midlands Metro, which is absolutely phenomenal as it won't just be hitting Nottingham, but my hometown Derby and Leicester.

I wouldn't change this lifestyle for the world as it has opened so much more opportunities than I ever imagined. And for that, I'm so grateful!

However, I am going to dedicate my weekend to reviewing more stuff for this blog and I am going to run a competition!

I feel like I've been slacking on the blog, and I think it's time we had some 'me time'

Hope you are all well, and have a lovely day!

Apologises and something EXCITING!

Hello my Lovelies!

Firstly, I want to apologise for my non-excusable absence. I have been, well, really busy and rather lazy over the Easter Holiday period.

My main reason for this was because I celebrated my 19th birthday on Easter Sunday. Because it was Sunday, I didn't actually do anything that exciting - just some much need family time and snuggles with the boyfriend (just because I'm 19, doesn't mean I have to act like it)

                             

My Lovely Gifts; Just Cavelli Perfume with free bag, Juicy Couture handbag, Lush gift and Easter Eggs! 

                         

The Perfect Gift: Audrey Hepburn in all her glory

As you can see from the images above; I was pretty spoilt (no, I am NOT bragging) and I am do grateful for everything I got.

                                 

Homemade Birthday cake - Delicious!

Now, for some BIG News;

As you would have guessed from the title of this blog, I am an aspiring journalist and being a student at Nottingham Trent University has opened so many doors for me that I couldn't be more grateful. One of these opportunities really excited me and has confirm the fact that I want to become a journalist.

You may have heard of the band Rudimental with their top selling track 'Feel the Love'

Yup, thats them :)

Well ..... I can officially say that I have successfully interviewed a member of the band!

In any journalists view, this has got to be one of the highlights of my career (so far ;) ) and the article that I have written will be published in The Nottingham Post in a few short weeks.

So if you live in that area, keep a close eye on the paper! :D

I will be putting up some more posts tonight as I have the night off, so stay tuned folks!

Lauren
