The First Page

Hi there readers, 

 Welcome to the first page of my blog, it's so nice of you to stop by.

 I have wanted to start a blog now for a while, but haven't really felt like I have much to say or share with the world. However I love writing so it felt like a natural progression to share my thoughts with others as mundane as they may be.

 This blog begins just as I am poised to partake in my second year of studying English literature at the University of Sheffield and will hopefully give you an insight into the university lifestyle- in my case lots and lots of reading whilst drinking chai lattes- as well as my general musings on the ups and downs of life in general. 

 I thought I'd start this first page- or foreword- of my blog by giving you an insight into a few things that I'm looking forward to about heading back to Sheffield (I can't believe I'm flying on Monday, where has this summer gone). 

 1) I'm looking forward to having my own double bed for the first time in my life. This will be prefect for the many lie-ins I'm already planning.

 2) The City: I miss the buzz of life going on all round me, being surrounded by the Yorkshire accent, and the abundance of things to do. It's one of my many homes and where I feel happy.

 3) The Sheffield Crew: One of things I was most scared about going to university was making friends and I am blessed with a wonderful abundance of them that I have missed being around all summer. They make me smile and I can't wait to get back into the regular English Lit movie night routine and see all the church gang too. 

 These are just a few of the things I'm looking forward to about going back to Sheffield. I'm excited to try something new with this blog too and would appreciate any feedback :)

 What're you looking forward to about next week? 

 Love, 
Megan xxx

Sexism and Why It Sickens Me

Hello my dear readers, I hope this blog post finds you well and refreshed. Since my last post  I have been having a grand old time with my little sister Eve as she has been visiting me in Sheffield as a post-birthday treat. It has been great to show her round some of my favourite haunts and make myself relax a bit too. This has also provided ample opportunity for my childish side to emerge through trips for gelato and excursions to the park, which has made me very happy :) For this blog post I would like to share with you some of my recent musings around the topic of sexism and particularly the area of objectification. (As per usual I would like to state this is entirely my own opinion on the subject, I have never billed this blog as oracular and I'm not going to start now. I do however think it is an important topic to discuss.) It came to the forefront of my mind a couple of weeks ago when me and my friend Nicola went for Hot Chocolate at our new favourite Sheffield hau

Mental Health Awareness Week: 'How are you?'

Image
Hey hey lovely blog readers, Lost time, no post eh? I feel like I have been very remiss this past year leaving you all with less to read from Observations of a Fictional Girl yet this has been because the real girl behind the words has been incredibly busy. Therefore even when I've had awesome ideas, started drafting them etc. I just haven't been in the right mindset to actually put them up. But here we go, 8 months since my last post and I'm briefly back. It's Mental Health Awareness week and given that this year of doing my Masters has been a time where I've been forced to examine my wellbeing more than ever - it seems apt to post now. If you guys have been following my blog for a while, or know me a little bit, you'll know that mental health is a kind of key theme for me, one of the main passions of my life as well as the defining thread of it thus far. If I'm honest my mental health is something that has ebbed and flowed during unive

Ten things for ten years: World Mental Health Day 2019

Hey everyone,  Long time no post eh? Two years in fact. Wow. Where's that time gone? It's nice to be back, filling the screen with words and sharing time with you all. As some of you may have guessed I'm back because of one reason and that's what drove the creation of this blog post in the first place: Mental health.  I started this blog five years ago and have been posting sporadically since because I wanted to try and explore my journey with mental ill health and share that journey with others. It was one of the scariest things I've ever done, pressing that "publish" button and sharing my facts, my fractured self with the world, those I loved, and those I didn't even know. I wasn't fictional for a moment, I was entirely the most raw exposed version of myself, and I'm so glad I decided to be. Because it's okay not to be okay. And I had to learn that, a really f***ing hard way (I'm still learning that) and I wanted to share that wit
