Life... Meet Laura: May 2013

It's been a while, I'm sorry. Been super busy with essays and revision and trying to get through these last few weeks of second year in one piece.

I had such a lovely 21st birthday. I swear I didn't stop moving for a good 5 days.

It started on the Friday night with a merry trip to Brewdog and then onto a cocktail bar for some delicious drinkies. Pretty chilled in anticipation for the rest of the weekend!

Saturday began in the best of ways with the arrival of my gorgeous little sister to celebrate with me. We grabbed a cheeky Nandos before heading back to my house to get ready for my parddddy.

The party got off to a great start with beer pong and some terrible disposable camera snaps before heading out to my student union who do a decent night on a Saturday.

Sunday was spent BBQ-ing and sunbathing on the roof/balcony. Some of the boys had given my water balloons as a random present the previous day but they ended up being one of my best birthday presents because we ended up having a hilarious water fight where we pelted the boys on the roof and generally soaked each other.

Sunday evening was another night out, packed because of the Bank Holiday the next day. I love Newcastle but the locals are insane. Cannot tell you the amount of time my sister and I had to fend off guys touching our arses, giving us proposals, trying to take us home... madness!

Monday morning I headed home to Manchester. My lovely father picked my sister and I up. I had planned a chilled afternoon of drinking icy lemonade and eating my weight in cake but little did I know that my naughty mother had planned me a mini surprise party which loads of my family turned up to! The weather was incredible and I couldn't have asked for a nicer few hours being spoilt and catching up with what everyone had been up to. My mum and nana worked so incredibly hard planning everything and slaving away in the kitchen to put on some yummy food so a BIG THANK YOU to them.

Tuesday was B-DAY. Dual meaning in it being my actual birthday but also BEYONCE DAY (I think I was more excited about the latter!). She was INCREDIBLE. We hit town afterwards but it was so dead. Manc, I love you loads but dayum you had some weird people about on that night! Still my girls made it a good laugh and we all cuddled up in our (slightly gross) Travel Lodge bed knackered but happy!

Thank you to everyone who made my 21st one of the best birthdays I have ever had. I love you all.

Now for the important bit - the photos!
