Job hunting/Rant

When did this become something that you dreaded doing because it took so long and you had to sign up to so many different things...Well I can tell you something its making me want to rip my hair out and I have lovely hair.

Job hunting is a chore its not fun and to be honest with you its made as difficult as possible. Not only do you have to sign up to a million different websites to even click the apply button but once you have clicked that you must sell your self on the internet. How you can tell what im like by a few clicks of a button. If anything your going to get a really bad impression of me because your stupid website had pissed me off!

After you've managed to get through that there are a million and one questions to answer where you can feel the pressure of the fact that over 200 people have applied for this job. So you spend hours giving yourself a head ache and sore eyes. You hit the apply button and you get a screen saying "im sorry you do not reach the targets for a future employer your application will NOT be sent"

UHM FUCKING EXCUSE ME...so your telling me I just sat here for 1 hour applying for a job I don't really want but need because I cant keep scrounging off my parents and your NOT going to send it to them...That is when everyone in my position thinks about picking up their laptop and throwing it onto the floor stamping on it and swearing really loudly.

And when you are successful and you have met the criteria to stack shelves in the shitty super market down the road (how hard can that be?) You wait...And wait...And wait...And for what? NOTHING! They ignore you.

Why cant I just smile at someone give them my cv, and they tell me there and then if my cv covers it or not. What happened to those times my nan tells me about...I wish it was like that because this is far to painful and is making me want to cry.

How bad is it for you or is it just me? Do you have any tips and tricks? Or any interesting stories you would like to tell let me know but for now im out

I'm still alive...almost

So, not for the first time in my life I'm late! 

 hello, hi I'm still alive...! call off the search party!

So this weekend has been pretty crazy, you're average teenage weekend.... Friday, PARTY... Saturday PARTY! Sunday, DYING! 

Friday I went to Colchester with my amazing horsey friends, yeeharr! and a spooky Halloween party at Jade's house Saturday night 😃!

So, to be fair... just being a teenager doesn't mean you drink like a fishy, I really don't drink that often....!

So it's my birthday Friday (8th nov).... GET ME! I will be a whole 19 years old.... I'm excited to go for a lovely dinner with all my friends and then go hammer time out clubbing!!

I promise I don't have a drink problem!

so basically I dunno what to write about, other than I bought my Christmas PJ's with little Santa's on 😃 LOVE THEM!

so today I have the worse tummy ache ever, so I've been feeling rather sorry for myself.... so I'm gunna go now drink hot chocolate and watch two and a half  ❤ Check ya laters!

-Deeeee!! 

L.a and stuff 2.0

What’s this? A blog post? God damn it. Ok fine let’s get this over with before Jade super-punches me into Big Ben. Just thought you might like to know, at the time of writing this, I’m listening to ‘Tom’s Dog’. Check it out it’s the meaning of life (http://tomsdog.com/)

Ok, right, blog. Well for starters, myself and a bunch o’ college people are going to L.A in April as part of the course or something, I dunno I didn’t really listen but the point still stands...L.A...as in Los Angeles...y’know like the best place in all of America.

I’ve always wanted to go to America, sun, sea and sand (just kidding I hate the beach so much and now I can because my college loves me, it costs a lot but I don’t know maths so I couldn’t care less, besides it’s my Dad’s money. What? You think it’s bad of me to make my Dad pay for it just because I am unemployed? Well it is, I totally agree with you. I am a terrible human being but so is my Mum because she’s unemployed too. I’ll get a job when she does...maybe we could work together! We could work in the same place that’d be so awesome! Then again I would probably leave her to do all of the difficult things)

Did you know I make YouTube videos? Well I do. So y’know check them out or whatever.

I also feel the need to have an outro so I can be a cool kid like Jade so...um...I’ll think of one for next time but for now I’ll steal Jade’s.

 

Peace x

Excitement!!

Hello! I've been like an excitable little child lately and I really do need to calm down. Well, I'm not excited at the moment. Two idiots in front of me at the train station decided to take forever to have a chat which held up the queue, which then made me miss my train. I'm now sitting in the rain whilst waiting for the next train. Yay!

But other than this morning, I have been incredibly excited. I'm off to Northampton this weekend for a YouTube gathering/gig. I'll beable to meet up with friends that I haven't seen since last year so that'll be fun! I'm quite a bad friend really, I always wait for my friends to come down south to visit me, I never think about going up north to see them. I think I'm gonna make that my new month resolution. Not even new year and it's not really a new month but sh I mean well.

I'm also really excited for Christmas (yes already). I picked up a few little bits for my mum and brother last week and that got me even more excited. One of my friends let me know that they're already putting up the decorations in Westfield and on Oxford Street. Oxford Street at Christmas is great! All the Christmas music, the decorations, the pushing and shoving, not being able to move because it's so crowded... Yeah. It's great. 

All joking aside I am super excited for Christmas and you should be too!

What to write..

So it's Friday and all week have been trying to figure out what I'm going to write about and to be honest I got nothing. 

Nothing big enough to discuss has happened over the past few weeks. 

So here are a few things I feel I can mention 

1) I have made a new YouTube. Nothing has been posted yet but as soon as it is i will keep you updated ;) 

2) I now have a portfolio not quite professional but it's just my style

http://jpetchey100.wix.com/alittlemessneverhurt

3) uhm I don't think I have a number three wish I did. 

So here are a few things happening with me. Do you have anything interesting or eventful happening or coming up? 

Peace x 

Time to say hi again! Meet Deanna

Well, I've been asked to help out give my opinion of stuff and generally talk crap. Which those of you who know me well, know I do this a lot. It's my favourite hobby!

My names Deanna, I live miles away from my friends... I have a car which has made my life easier, knowing that I can jump in my car and I'm just an hour away from my life and friends... When I'm at home I'm a proud horse owner, I have four... Bit of a cow girl really! 

I will soon be 19, (nov 8) which feels weird! I've barely got use to being 18..! 

People often say I'm the person they come to for advice, which I'm happy to give... Common sense is very important to me. I would say I don't take my own advice a lot of the time I don't do the things I know i should, this gets me in trouble...

I'm currently single.

I don't have a job, I am looking... I don't go to college, tried it not my thing really... 

I'm not totally sure what I'm going to write for the rest of this post... I might just call it quits and say goodbye...! 

Say hello to Michael!!

Yoooo! So, hello I’m Michael and you now have me on here as well as those other two. So basically I’m supposed to tell you about me or something, well ok here it goes... I’m 17 and I don’t know what I’m doing with my life! I know I want to go into the whole media thingy but apart from that I have literally no idea so most of my updates will probably be me moaning about my future or just plain random stuff (mostly likely the latter because yolo)

Ok are we done? Good because Jade is like so totally mean to me and made me do this against my will, this one time she slapped me in the face just for being myself, you think I’m joking but that actually happened...Alice is also cruel too, she wants to kick my mum in the face.

Well that was my first post and I hope you enjoyed, If you did then I love you let’s make out and touch faces or whatever it is the cool kids do.

I leave you now with a link to my youtube channel followed by a picture of my face.

Meet Alice

Hello Jade’s audience!

 

It feels so strange writing for another blog, I feel like I’m trying to impress my mum or something. Anyway, hi! I’m Alice and I’m a bit of a loser here on the internet. I also (badly) run another blog and I also post videos on youtube. My plan in life is to infect everybody with my weirdness.

 

I’m not entirely sure how I should be introducing myself and I’m very tempted to just steal Jade’s original intro and hope nobody notices. I’d like to think that I’ll be writing regularly but anybody who knows me will know that I will need prodding and poking around to be reminded of that, so if you’d like that job you will need ten years of experience in the field of prodding and poking and I expect your CV on my desk first thing monday morning.

 

Nice to meet you!

 

New people!

So it taken time but I've found two willing victims who will be posting once a month.

These lucky victims are my two good friends. 

Miss Alice Taylor. She can also be found on YouTube telling you her crazy stories and doing extremely strange things. 

Alice is a one of a kind with the craziest of thoughts and opinions and is an excellent addition to the only way we know how. She is defiantly living life to the fullest and is enjoying discovering where she is going with life and where she will end up..hopefully you will enjoy her journey. And find it as amusing as I do :) 

My second addition to the blog is Mr Michael Rawe who once again is on YouTube, he has very strong thoughts and opinions and once again is a very funny man..unlike Alice he has no idea what he wants to do or how he wants to get there. But is still willing to give life a try.

And nine times out of ten you will find him pulling a really stupid face. His thoughts and feeling are always put across In a light hearted and funny way and he has a vlog which further shows his crazy side. But once again is one hell of an addition to the blog.

So I hope you guys enjoy what they have to say and how they say it :) watch out for their first posts!!

To be or not to be?

So I thought I had mad a choice..go to university and get a degree...it would appear my mind is still not set. 

Seeing as this is one of the hardest decisions of my life I need to have a definite answer and the truth I have no idea what I want to do. If I go to uni I need to have a definite idea of what I want to do. Truth is I have no idea. 

In one side of my mind I have the fact that I'm letting my childhood dream go. And knowing that I have wanted to do this since I was 12, on the other hand I would have to build my own business and honestly I have no idea how to do that. But on the other hand I think going to university will be good for me. 

I'm in a catch 22, how do I know my choice and university will be right for me, and then I have wasted the money I have. But the again how do I know I'm any good at my childhood dream. And that won't be a waste of money. 

So I'm stuck, everyone says go with your heart do something that will make you happy but how do I know what will I'm 18, all I want to do right now is live life to the fullest while I can. The big wide world scares me and I know that their will always be obstacles in my way. 

How do I know I will be strong enough to not just run away. To start and then give up! I need help I need someone to tell me what to do where to go and yet it's my life and it has to be my choice. 

How did you choose your career? What made it easier and what made it harder? How did you know what was to be. Where you wanted to go at such a young age. Did you wing it and hope for the best? So many unanswered questions. And I have to find a way to figure these all out.

So...what is to be and what is not to be? 

Peace x 

We need you!

Okay so I'm trying to make this blog as interactive as possible. 

I need your help! I need your opinions and your ideas. If you think in right of wrong. If you think there are certain things I should discuss that I'm not!

Come on get involved. You can even write a piece send it to me and I will publish it for you :) with your own tag :)

So get involved! 

Here is my twitter if you want to get involved @jadexoxoxd

Solutions and answers

These are two things someone of my age kills for solutions and answers and sometimes you fight them. I realised that you shouldn't. 

Stress can ruin a good day or even a long period of time, it can ruin relationships and also work. Two things that sort stress is solutions and answers. 

You have to learn to deal with what your fighting. Be it in my case growing up and trying to run away from it. 

I discovered that running away from things that frighten you is all well and good till they catch up with you and then bite you on the ass. Solutions and answers are not always easy to find. And sometimes take a lot of hard work a will power to get to them. 

You must prevail and stay strong when it seems like all things are crashing and burning around you. 

Here are some tips just in case you need a helping hand; 

1) Talk to someone. 

You have loads of people around you who care and love you they will always be able to help :) 

2)Face the situation.

Easier said then done I know. But sometimes you don't have to go at it alone. 

3) Ask for help. 

If you have found answers but many of them don't be scared to ask someone for help like a tutor or someone who has has to make the choices you now face. 

4) Stay strong. 

Always remember your strong. And don't let others tell you any thing other than that :) 

Hopefully these have helped. If you have any solutions to finding answers and solutions. Comment below and help others out :)

Pressure.

I don't know abut you but I have recently felt a lot of pressure to mature and grow up. And to start thinking of my future when in all honesty I have no idea what I want to do or how I'm going to get there. 

And sometimes I feel a little like this 

I feel like my head should explode...things that people of my age are thinking about or have thought about are things like; university, work, relationships and so many other things. 

And then I discovered the art of relaxing, yes all these things are crucial to my life. But I need to take one thing at a time. 

So here are some ideas to relax and get things sorted without giving yourself a head ache.

1) Take time for yourself

Yes you have a lot to do but it doesn't mean that you can't spend 30mins watching tv or seeing your friends. A lot if the time your friends will be willing to give you a helping hand or give you some advice. 

2) One thing at a time. 

Your human you can only do so much. Plan one thing at a time. If your finding hard to deal with everything put them in to order of most important and go from there. Don't stress yourself. 

3) Never do what you don't want to. 

It's all well and good doing things to help others but if your plate is full stop stacking other things on top. Again your human. You can say no. If you don't want to go to uni say no. If you don't want to go out on Friday night and you need to sleep say so. The people who care will understand. 

4) Enjoy life. 

That doesn't need to be explained, your young enjoy yourself. But remember you do have responsibilities too so remember all actions have consequences. 

So there are few things that have helped me cope. If you have some techniques you use let me know. Ill put them in another blog :) 

Peace x 

About me and the start.

So I guess I should tell you who I am. 

I had a previous blog which is more personal this is general, not only will I be writing this but I am hoping my friends will join in too :) 

My name is Jade I'm 18 and I'm really bad at becoming an adult. If anything I'm fighting it as much as I can. 

I enjoy life. I have a great friends and an awesome family. But I always wondered why no one helped us out. Yes we have our parents who are doing amazing things and deserve to be praised from the ground up. But honestly I have no idea what I'm doing so I plan to share all my trials and errors and hopefully my successes with you as well. And maybe a rant every now and then...if your lucky. 

I will show you and share with you  everything I feel is important for you to know and it won't all be serious. 

Don't panic. We will do it together. 

Peace x 

Welcome.

I am no one special. I am not famous and never will be. I am a normal (kinda) teen girl/ young adult. 

Maybe someday the right person will read this and my thoughts,feelings, facts and truths will help the generations after me. 

Being the age I am growing up is never easy things change and I have always wondered why no one had written a manual for us? There are loads for our parents and their parents but none for us. Sometimes things happen that in all honesty that our parents have no idea about. 

And it may help knowing someone has gone through the same thing. I'm not talking about puberty although that's terrifying. This is for when your older and your having to become an adult. And your screwing things up and you have no idea what to do. 

The way I see it is where living life the only way we know how. So welcome. 

And enjoy. 

Peace x
