THEME 1 - SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER

Just a little foreword here.. I'm going on holiday in 4 hours and 22 minutes.. WOO!

Anyway, the first themed post from lists I made yesterday is - "SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED IN HIGH SCHOOL THAT CHANGED MY LIFE FOREVER"

Now thinking about it, not many "big" things happened to me while I was in high school.. I suppose I could say that I had my "first" boyfriend and stuff but most of the relationships I had while there never lasted longer than a month or two so I don't really know if the guys count as "proper" boyfriends..

Life changing wise though I can only really think of 2 things.. One, the whole dilemma I had a while ago where none of my friends spoke to me for a week.. That was pretty life changing because it made me realise that you can't always depend on your friends, and that you really can't trust anyone.. I was so used to depending on them to made me laugh and to make me happy and then they just weren't there, it was weird. So that was pretty life changing because it made me look at things differently and to be honest I think it was a change for the better.

The other life changing thing was applying for the apprenticeship with Unilever.. I did it while I was in an IT lesson, supposed to be doing my work. I'd just decided i didn't want to go to uni anymore so I was looking on the apprenticeship website and I found it. So I applied, not thinking I'd get anyway from it and before I know it, I was in the next stage of the application.. Then the next, and then the next, then the next again and finally I was in the last stage with 9 other people, basically competing for 1 of 5 apprenticeships they were offering. After the final assessment day I waited a week and as it turns out, I GOT IT! So that was pretty life changing because now I definitely know that if you work your butt of for something and don't give up, you'' most likely get the outcome you want. :) 

There's a lesson in life from Jenny, people! ;)

Anything happen while you were in High School that was life changing for you? If so, what is it? I'd love to hear your stories. :)£

FACT FRIDAY #1

Yeeaaaahhhhhhh, time for the first fact Friday ever!

Honestly, I actually struggled finding a fact because.. I don't even know why to be quite honest, I didn't think anything was interesting enough. Anyway, this is the one I decided to choose.

"Only one person in two billion will live to be 116 or older."

I find this interesting because I can't really imagine what it'd be like to live that long. I mean, my dad always says that he wouldn't like to live to an age were he becomes dependant on everyone else and I can kind of understand where he is coming from.

But imagine living through a whole generation. Imagine seeing the world change over your entire life. Imagine how much you could achieve and see.

If I lived to 116, I'd have wanted a full life at least. I would have wanted a family, a successful job, travels all over the world. I don't think I would be able to live 116 years without a family. But then again, I wouldn't be able to cope with everyone I knew and was close to dying.

I suppose you'd constantly meet knew people, but I think having a rock would be nice. Someone to keep you stable and sane. That's how I'd live through 116 years.

Do you think you'd be able to cope? What would you do in your 116 years of living?
