..I Have Finished Education After 16 Years!

I have some good and exciting news.. for me not you haha!

I have officially completed uni!!! forever!! Speaking of which, I have just had the email to confirm I will be graduating! 

I cant actuall believe I have finished education after 16 years! I have only ever known life in this routine which is quite frightening as I have huge anxiety problems and dont work well without my certain routine! 

I have been with these girls (and one boy) for 4 years now so I am now full of different emotions leaving that place. It has had more lows than highs- and I think everyone will vouch for me there! but the laughs between the tears of all these girls and Jak, has pulled me through! 

I am extremely grateful for them as we have been through alot together, broken familys, various boyfriends, deaths, babies, heartbreak and most importantly success. 

Its a shame we all live so far away from each other, literally one person in a completely different place about 20 minutes away from the next place BUT now we have actually finished and we are all secretly distraught we are making a conscious effort to see each other now and instead of rolling up to uni cause we have to and annoying the hell out of each other as we are in each others pockets for 3 long and stressful days straight stuck in the same room - it is much better and so much fun to see each other! 

We had our 'final' night out last Wednesday when we handed in and it was so fun and hilarious! I absolutely loved it, and we are hoping to recreate the same night tonight - though as its planned it probably wont be as great haha!

Here are some pictures of our last few days and last Wednesday!

I cant wait to look back on them with everyone in a few years time full of nostalgia! 

The first two to hand in!!

I love this photo haha!

The joy of selfie sticks.. our group minus meg!

Hand in day! .. One drink at 4pm turned out to be 10 drinks, shots and 1am bedtime! ... and I dont drink haha!

The last thing now - is bring our graduation!

Real Recipes: Sweet Potato Fries!



I call these Real Recipes because I am just a normal student, on a tight budget wanting to cook real peoples recipes. I don't want to spend a lot and dont really want to have to go out and buy ingredients when I fancy baking. I want to bake there and then and just hope I have the ingredients. If I can I will just miss them out, making these recipes ideal for us normal people!!

I have seen countless blogs/photos of gorgeous cripsy looking sweet potato fries so wanted to try them myself and show everyone what 'real peoples' sweet.p fries are like as you can never reproduce restaurants quality on things!!

So first I cut them up into thin (ish) pieces. I wouldnt go super chunky, like wedge's size, but not as thin as McDonalds either! Somewhere in between. 

I kept the skin on as its healthier and also makes it alot crispier as its slightly tougher and sweet potato can go slightly mushy and soft.

I loosely dripped olive oil on them, and covered them in salt and pepper.

They take AGES which you wouldnt expect but I had them in the oven at 200 degrees for 40 minutes. I also kept checking them and tossed them in the oil abit every so often. 

I think restaurants make this so yummy and crispy by deep frying them.

This is the finished product - obviously its a bad photo as I forgot to take a photo as they came out of the oven so you have a picture of my whole meal haha :)

They arent as great as I thought they would be.

The skin defo makes them crispier but they are still slightly mushy - I just dont understand what I have done wrong haha! They were in the oven for slightly over 40 minutes!!

Let me know if you have tried these and know what I am doing wrong haha!!
