I’ve been waiting for My Oxford Year to drop on Netflix for what feels like forever. Six weeks of hype, anticipation, and countdowns ... only to be hit with — let’s just say it — major disappointment. Now, I don’t usually write negative reviews. I like to focus on the positive, but I genuinely felt so let down by this adaptation that I had to say something. Maybe I’m also a little extra annoyed because I was so hyped, and the let down hit harder because of that. First Rant

The Meaning Behind the Word "Saiyaara" Rooted in both Urdu and Arabic, Saiyaara traditionally refers to a star or plane t that drifts through the sky. In Arabic, it implies continuous motion or orbit, while in Urdu, it symbolises a solitary star —radiant, wandering alone, yet lighting up the world around it.

What appealed to me about Bridget was how 'normal' and ordinary she was . Her clumsiness, her trials, and tribulations were a breath of fresh air in a world full of perfection that dominated the noughties . Looking back now, it’s beyond shocking th

The Death of Liam Payne

A few weeks back I took my (much younger) siblings to watch "IF". Maybe it’s just me, but I felt it’s been a while since there has been a good movie out for the kids. - I'm assuming it has to do with the ongoing writers strikes .

In the end the he nailed it down to 'the fantasy side of my brain

Matthew Langford Perry I wanted this blog to raise awareness, and document my discoveries in life. Whilst I was prepping some posts (because yes, as an ADHDer I struggle with management. I wanted this blog to be a regular activity for me because, occasionally I do fall into wanting my own space and then blanking out all my responsibilities!) I felt this post couldn’t wait. So here I am. (Yes I’m defo nervous about posting my first journal - please don’t judge. I’m scared as i
