4 Things Every Student Thinks/Sees When IN THE LIBRARY (of doom)

So being a good student for the first time in my three years at university, I have decided to go where few students ever return from, thats right I have ventured where dreams and social lives go to die...THE LIBRARY
 (I know shocking)

But not being a native library being, it's like walking into a whole other universe. The rules, expectations and norms of the library are very very very complex. AND so my little petite pois I will teach you about first the 4 things you see and can never un-see in a library and that really grate me the wrong way;

1) Now classing myself a native among the library trolls you begin to spot regulars, and more so any irregular behaviour. FOR EXAMPLE you will always be able to spot the person that has literally moved out of their house, and brought it's entire contents to the library with them. Who really needs 3 water bottles, four jumpers, a whole bag of oranges, hat and scarf, (mate you're clearly not going anywhere you'll be here till it's summer at this rate) and 10 empty folders...


2) If you are lucky enough to be able to bag a computer you'll have surely seen those poor people surveying every screen looking for a free one, that pleading look in their eyes that says "I have an essay in at 5pm. SOMEONE HELP" when it's 3pm and you're just trolling Facebook and pretending to skim read a passage from a book written in 1924(yawn) trying to not make eye contact but feeling bad and thinking

                 (we've all been there) 
OR the person who logs in to their emails and then leaves for 6 hours and the computer is just there, waiting for said person to return. OR EVEN when people bring their OWN laptops and decide to sit in front of a computer NOT USING IT but using their OWN LAPTOPS. (Did I stress own enough?!) TO DO WORK. If you've ever been to Manchester Learning commons you know this pain and it is a bitter pain that makes you want to throw their own laptop(OWN) off the third floor and watch it smash into tiny pieces....(sorry got carried away)

3) The people that NEVER leave, you know them. Every time, in EXACTLY the same place and even sometimes in the exact clothes there they are... Maybe they forgot how to leave? Maybe they secretly live in the Library eating food out of the vending machines and sleeping on a bed made from all the books people can't be arsed to put back? OR maybe just maybe they are a GHOST ....
Nah, but seriously why do they have to make us look so bad? The fact that I get lost in the library while they live and breathe and know EXACTLY which chairs are broken or not... it's freaky man, can you guys not like or please find some other building to live in i can't get my study on.


AND FINALLY
4) Someone eating the smelliest pasta/sandwich/sacrifice to the library gods AND CHEWING SO LOUDLY. Like look guys the library it's a quiet place you usually have to be careful to not breathe too loudly. LET ALONE hear you crunching on pickled onion monster munch, weirdly avoiding your hate stare...
                        (but isn't it worse when there is awkward eye contact while eating... slightly serial killer-y right?)

SO BASICALLY YEP. This was a library rant, if you do any of these things tut tut tut. BUT at least you're in the Library and not at home sitting in bed writing passive aggressive blogs on the library, right? (cough cough cough) Haha. Anyway thanks for reading this little snippet of my life it always makes me so happy to see those number tot up, any ideas or topics you want to hear my rant about I will (I thought you'd never ask) and if you're feeling stressy or sad remember a grade does not define you but good fashion sense does (joke) YOU'RE ALL FABULOUS ON A STICK

till the next time, make sure you're wrapped up all warm and snug in a little sushi roll....mmm fishy.
loveeeeeee

this week Maisie is looovingggg;

  • Bath bombs - the only way too warm me up to my toes, I recommend Lush Yoga bomb lovely sandalwood and ho-wood, which is not only funny to say(childish sorry) but really relaxing AND GORGEOUS.
  • Popcorn - I recently got a popcorn maker and watching it do it's thing actually makes me really happy... I don't know why, all the popcorn flying everywhere makes me giggle. ALSO great with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar and pepper... mmmmm.
  • Flowers - Being able to actually see some flowers whilst out and about has really lifted my mood, SPRING IS ON THE WAY PEOPLE THIS IS NOT A DRILL
  • You guys, I know i've been crappy at blogging but still having people read it makes me smile so very much.

I am going to clear out my life...

Yo, lizards and wizards (yep that sounds lame) I have decided I AM GOING TO BLOG IF IT KILLS ME. ...
      Recently I have decided that I need to declutter my life, I own too much stuff and should literally be signed up for Hoarders and plead for help. Hello my name is Maisie and I have a hoarding problem....




So basically I decided to have a I AM A HOARDER PLEASE TAKE MY STUFF party. Think any cheesy chick flick makeover montage meets a shit-ton of wine and bam you have my idea....

   It's basically that I own so many clothes, shoes, makeup, books FRIENDS(that ones a joke plz lurv me) That I don't use or need. The continual 'one day i'll wear it' skirt that I swear has been on the same hanger with the tag on since I decided I HAD TO HAVE IT 4 years ago... 
Those jeans that I may one day squeeze myself into (nope , I won't i have cake to thank for that) 
ALSO all those scene kid net skirts and black on black lace that I don't even want to bring out of my wardrobe. (2009 you were a bad time, fingerless gloves dear god)

(don't laugh too loud, I'll probably hear it)

   I only want to own items I absolutely love, that make me feel good and make other think I look good in.. (This is were you say BUT YOU LOOK GOOD IN EVERYTHING.. *silence* urm right moving swifty on)
Owning things I love and WILL wear will help me feel good about me, and throwing out books I'll never read again leaves space for more new GROWN UP BOOKS. (Sorry Jackie Wilson, we had a good ride but I'm not 9 anymore) I can also give these things i don't want to other people or charities that actually need scene kid clothes (though that is a poor example)..

Basically I feel that now is a good time to cleanse my life, surround myself with clothes, books etc.. That I love and the same to people, only keep the good ones in you know?
       The one's the make me feel good inside, so I can rock my gorgey shrunken wardrobe on the outside and reflect my inner brilliance. (Too much?) Bribing my friends with alcohol will also make sure they're honest with me, this could get painful, I'll be sure to fill you in on the gruesome details and all the drama that will be me screaming as people try to tear me away from my 2011 prom dress... 
     BUT *deep breathe* frankly I need it, a clear space to chill and not worry if my wardrobe will burst at the seams... Well not until I next get paid anyway. It'll be healthy and maybe then I can actually see the clothes I own not an array of colours..

Now thank for reading you babes, University calls apparently I have a lecture (sigh) I'll be back in a flash and a ton more interesting than this, hug your pets and if you've got no pets hug your knees and give em a good squeeze.
Love always

this week maisie is loving(that's right it's back);
  • Olives- man the obsession is real
  • Glastonbury line-up being announced, get on down to oxfam stewards if you wanna go the right way ;)
  • Seafret- don't fret with those beautiful tunes (dum dum chhh)
  • Blogging- Still need to sort my life out and write better ones for you guys, but I'm back :)
  • Mascara - my life, my true love, my one my only.

I AM SORRY DON'T HATE ME..

I know, I know I KNOW I am so so so so so so so so so so so awful at updating and blogging AND though I love it I have literally have had zero ideas on what to write to keep people interested or to gain more views(it's all about them views guys)...
       It's strange having something that is quite personal online it's just strange. It is sort of like putting a tiny little piece of your mind or your point of view on the internet regardless of how lighthearted it is, and asking people to read it. To read it and to judge and hopefully like what you've written... and damn you, you better like it.

         So lets talk about ME. I am currently drowning in my dissertation, work-work, next year plans and occasionally if the god have been smiling down on me a social event...

and
Frankly I am a boring sod who ran out of things interesting to write, it appears I only had three posts in me and then blank. Not a word. This gif is the embodiment of my life right now ...
Yep so anyway, GIVE ME IDEAS OF WHAT TO WRITE MY MIND IS AS EMPTY AS MY FUTURE IS IF I DON'T SUDDENLY BECOME A GENIUS.
Is it me or a are the February blues hanging on a bit too long?
Love you always, I haven't died or abandoned you.... much.
Match socks on thickness not colour one thin sock and one thick one make you feel like you've got a fake foot.
