Heya lovelies.
I’VE BEEN GONE SINCE NOVEMBER?? How have I not blogged since then? ;_; I think this is the longest period I’ve gone without updating. I’ve always been slow since I started focusing more on my youtube, but these past few months have killed me. So finally, it’s time for an update post!
As you guys may or may not know, I’m currently finishing up my final year of my undergraduate degree. I’m studying Honours Communications and Multimedia – a double major for topics such as PR, research, writing, marketing etc, as well as a more technical aspect for audio, video, and graphic design. Because I’m doing a double major, I had to do 2 final thesis projects. My multimedia thesis project was much more intensive, whereas my communications thesis has to be a 14-16 page paper (which is due on Monday/ I haven’t started yet gdi ;_;)
It’s pretty sad to say, but I feel like I’ve coasted through my first three years of university and karma caught up with me and decided to give me an intense butt-kicking this year. I’m sure most 4th years understand this, as we’ve got to worry about tuition, final cumulative thesis projects, as well as graduating on time and then finding a job afterwards. Why does everything always come in waves. WHY LIFE WHY.
Today I though I’d blog about my multimedia thesis project so you can see what’s been sapping my life force for these past few months. The condensed version is that we had to propose a project that would showcase the skills that we have developed, in addition to creating a portfolio piece that we would be able to show future employers. I originally wanted to do something with my youtube account and branding but I seriously hadn’t developed an action plan, so I ended up doing an educational design project with a partner. This class spanned from October to March, and included doing research, literature reviews, preliminary work, proposal presentations, professor consultations, and then a final presentation.
STRESSFUL. Our project included graphic design, illustration, marketing, branding, packaging design, and printing. We took on a lot more than some other people in my class haha, a little over ambitious I guess but it paid off in the end.
Anyway, we decided to make an environmental activity kit for students in grade 4-6. It would be a kit that teachers would use in classrooms. Our kit included a student activity booklet, a black and white version of the same booklet (so teachers can photocopy/print activities to distribute), and a teacher’s handbook explaining the curriculum. Here are some pages.
But yeah! It’s been a super fast 4 years, kinda scary to think about how fast time flies. Everyone keeps telling me “Make sure to savour your time at university because the real world is much more intense” etc etc etc. I’m excited to get out in the real world and gain some experience, and maybe I’ll return to post-graduate education in the future! Right now I just want a break from school instead of going straight into a masters or postgrad certificate/program etc.
Now that I have a little bit of free time, I’ll be updating my blog/youtube more often. It’s my dream to make this into a full time thing, but school has stolen some of my time. Can’t wait to continue blogging!!
Thank you for reading! 😀

On the show, they talk about their lives and relationships. They answer 20 questions on the show. Although it can be quite explicit at times, it’s pretty funny.
I’m kinda glad that Matt Barker wasn’t there lol, he seemed really annoying and cocky during the actual show. 
Anyway, we’ll be there on Saturday. We’ll also record a few vlogs and maybe a dance.
Can’t wait to start making more videos / take pictures in this. I’m cosplaying Yuki Cross from the series Vampire Knight. I have longer hair in these pictures because I wanted to mimic her hair from Vampire Knight Guilty.
The colors are actually quite close, which it blends so well. I don’t think bangs would work with my actual hair because I have very defined eyebrows that don’t look good under the bangs… I’d have to dye my eyebrows lighter?
We’re signing the official lease on Monday.
During the third year of university (we have four years of uni in Canada), we have the opportunity to spend a semester or a year studying abroad at one of my university’s sister unis! So of course I want to go to the UK! I’m studying communications and multimedia for my major. I’ve been looking at the sister establishments in the UK and only two offer specific courses for my major… University of Sheffield and University of Leeds. My dad was pushing for me to go to University of Bristol but Bristol doesn’t have the courses I need. 
So my current first choice option is University of Leeds.
And bonus that it’s Kiki’s Delivery Service! Probably one of my favourite Ghibli movies ever.
When it gets warmer and school lets out, I’ll be working on a cosplay video! Maybe like a showcase or music video type of thing.
There was a V taped on the ground (might be hard to see) but you had to keep your feet outside of the wider parts of the V so you were almost doing the splits, and then try to blow ping pong balls off water bottles!
IT’S GOING TO BE TEDIOUS.
The weather has basically been like this for the past week…
But art is extremely subjective so I’m sure somebody out there finds it amazing and complex and understands the hidden meaning behind the rope etc… 
The guy selling it wanted to upgrade to an iPhone 4 so he was selling his practically new iPhone! Just my luck! 
) Just before I left, they decided to go on a walk.
They saw me get off and were like ‘wtf’. Haha they were kind of against the idea of me getting an iPhone because they thought it would be too distracting and it was too expensive…etc. So when they got back home, they wanted to see my iPhone haha. 😛 They kind of stole it away from me for a while before I got it back! And when I did, I had a bunch of these weird apps installed. 
Silly parents.
My favourite apps are 
Here are some pictures I took! 
It looks too animu.
