Something Great

Hey everyone! :)

Last week was filled with fandom stuff and I think my heart is about to explode!

As much as I love having new and exciting things happening to me, it's still a lot to take when they all come at once. I need some time to process one thing and then get excited of another one. Maybe sharing all this amazing stuff with you guys will help me control my feelings for a while!

I know there's going to be things that some of you like and some of you hate but please be nice, these things mean a lot to me!

Where We Are - Where I Was
(not actually about last week but I couldn't come up with any good reason not to include this...)

On Saturday I got to relive one of the craziest concerts of my life on the big screen (like literally it was gigantic!!): Sara and I went to see One Direction's concert film to Empire Cinema on Leicester Square! The concert was filmed in Milan's San Siro Stadium on June 28th and 29th, which was lucky-lucky for me because I actually went to see them there! The whole film was a wild ride from start to finish and half of the time I was just swallowing my tears because all the emotions I felt at the concert came back to me. 

You can't obviously take pictures in the cinema but because photos are nice you can have my favourite pics that I took myself during the concert!! :3

I'm not going to write a proper review of this but just a few thoughts..

• I was disappointed that they didn't include all the songs in the film, I was looking forward to hearing Better Than Words again but it never came (yes, you heard me, don't except any Niall's hip thrusting this time)
• Twitter questions were also excluded
• Despite everything that I just said I'll be watching this on Blu-Ray over and over again
• But it was still good
• The boys are amazing
• I liked it as a One Direction concert film but I would have liked it more if I didn't have a live concert to compare it to 
• If you love concert films and you love One Direction, you'll love WWA Concert Film!

Ed Sheeran @o2 Arena

On Monday I headed straight from school to London's o2 Arena to see this red-headed singer. I only queued for two hours before the doors opened but still got a pretty good place to stand! Ed turned out to be even better singer live and also even cuter than in the pictures :3 He sang mostly all of my favourite songs and even surprised me with The City, the song that I had on repeat when I moved to London. I'm still quite starstruck from this concert so I can't find the right words so have some pics and videos instead :)

It Was Way Past My Bed Time

On Friday night we were adventuring around West End with Sara and while we were walking towards the Piccadilly Circus I noticed this curly haired girl talking with a bunch of people. My first thought was "oh my god", second thought was "OH MY GOD" and the third one was "THAT'S CARRIE OH MY GOD". She's one of my favourite Youtubers and she's currently acting in West End's Les Misérables. Her Youtube channel is ItsWayPastMyBedTime so if you enjoy watching vlogs and such you should check her out :)

This picture will go down in history because for once my selfie game was strong in the right place at the right time

Fury Sunday 

Yesterday was the closing night of BFI London Film Festival and it was celebrated with the premier of Brad Pitt's upcoming movie, Fury. Luckily the sun was shining and it was pretty warm to spend the whole day outside!!

Me and Sara weren't as dedicated to queuing as some people so we didn't get the best possible view but still got a glimpse of some of the stars. Of course I was blessed to have this two-meter-long tree-man in front of me to block the view. Got some pretty nice pictures of his back and hair on my phone... But fortunately that tree-man turned out to be really nice and offered to take a couple of pictures using my phone! :)

Most of the time I just reached as high as I could, snapped a picture or two and hoped for the best but I don't really care BECAUSE I SAW BRAD PITT AND LOGAN LERMAN AND SHIA LABEOUF 

And this is the only picture worth posting because the rest of the pictures are just so blurry they make me cry blood :<

So as you can see I have had a lot to process lately but now it's time to concentrate on school work and take a deep breath!

This post might've been quite long, was it exhausting to read? Should I avoid making these big posts in the future? Please let me know what you think :) And also if there's been something exciting in your life lately, share it in the comments and we can celebrate together!! :) <3

See ya next time!!!

PS: I still haven't figured out this picture size thing. I'm getting there.. Sorry if the sizes annoy you :(

Little Party Never Killed Nobody

"A little party never killed nobody

So we gon’ dance until we drop, drop

A little party never killed nobody

Right here, right now’s all we got"

What could possibly make Wednesday better than a party? Two parties of course!

Welcome Party at the Student Halls

To welcome all the new residents to the student halls there was a party in the common room! I went to check the party out with my roommate, Faye. We didn't stay too late, but long enough to enjoy free beer and Domino's pizza! And that's just enough for me to get the party started!!!

After getting enough pizza and beer it was time to head to the next party!

Party @ Your Mom's House

This party was at our university's bar/club/cafe. There were parties everyday for two weeks but this was the only one I attended to (might have had something to do with those red cups, who knows!).

I'm not much of a club person but we ended up having so much fun with Sara that we drank and danced until 3am. The music was absolutely amazing and I just went crazy on the dance floor! I don't usually like to dance in clubs but I think the London brings out the worst in me. 

The next morning was absolutely brilliant! :) I didn't get sleep until 4am and had to get up at 10am to get ready for school. And on top of that I felt really hungover after ???? bottles of beer. (Neither of us counted the amount of beers we bought, I guess that'll remain as a mystery)

A little party never killed nobody but the hangover next morning makes you wish it did.

Moral of the story; don't drink on school nights! 
Have a great and safe weekend, everyone!! <3

+ My cousin helped me to upload larger photos in my posts so maybe the pics make more sense now :') and I'll make new header ASAP to get it fit to my blog better so bare with me, this blog keeps getting better!!

Psst! These posts are so late it's embarrassing. It's been two weeks since this party so I'll promise the next post will be about this week! 

I see fire you in the next post! ;)

Weekend with New Friends

Hello!

I've now been in London for two weeks and this fortnight has been filled with exciting stuff! Thankfully I didn't have to experience everything alone because I already made friends with two amazing girls that I love spending time with <3 

Here's how my first weekend in London went! :)

Oxford Street Shopping 

On Thursday we had school only for an hour and we were served a delicious lunch! :3

After getting my tummy full of sandwiches, fruits and heavenly lemon cake I headed to Oxford Street with my classmate Sara. She's from Finland too and we hit it off really fast! I feel so lucky to have made good friends with someone so quickly, on the very first week!!! (^_^)

Oxford Street is absolutely my favourite place to shop in London and whatever I'm after I always start my search from there. This time I didn't shop too much, only the "essentials" such as Matte Basecoat nailpolish and One Direction's You and I fragrance. I usually get really uncomfortable in big H&M's but I still managed to find that nice hoodie/shirt thingy. From Primark I found a nice scarf to keep me warm when the weather is getting colder! :3

Platform 9 3/4 and Honest Burgers

On Friday me and my roommate, Faye, went to King's Cross station. More specifically to Platform 9 3/4! I know what you're thinking and the answer is no, I'm unfortunately not studying in Hogwarts. But you get to experience the feeling that all those lucky wizards and witches get when running against the wall to catch the train. Also the coolest thing ever is that they give you a house scarf to wear in the pictures and you can actually choose which house you want to wear! And then there's this dude holding the scarf up so it looks that you're actually running through the wall (which looks soooo real in this picture with me posing and all..)

All this wizard hype made us hungry and Faye happened to know a burger restaurant nearby. The place is called Honest Burgers and honestly, the burger was the best one I've ever eaten.

This was the first time that I could actually eat everything on my plate when ordering a burger in a restaurant! Reasonable portions are usually so hard to get! The burger was so delicious and the fries were flavoured with salt and some other ingredient (I'm sorry I don't know what it was, but trust me, it was good!) If you love yourself a good burger, you have to go eat in that place when visiting London!!!

So that was my first weekend in London! Pretty great, right?! :)
