PHILLIP PHILLIPS WON AMERICAN IDOL!
I’m so elated right now! Since his audition, I have been in love with Phillip Phillips and I’ve always been rooting for him to win! For the first time ever, my favourite contestant on one of these competition shows has actually won! And I’ve never loved a reality television show contestant as much as I love Phillip! He is amazing! I dare anyone to watch this video and not fall in love with him!

same here, let’s start our own media/communications/journalism company

Let’s! It’s probably just because our Const exam is on Saturday, but I’m hating on law so badly right now.

I’m watching a documentary about law students on their journey to become barristers.

The more I watch it, the more I realise just how much I don’t want to practise law.

So, like, I’m going to spend 5.5 years studying a law degree just for fun.

At this very moment 100 years ago, the Titanic was being flooded with water, having collided with an iceberg. This song, Nearer My God To Thee, is reportedly the last song that the band played while the ship was sinking.

Today marks the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic. I have always been fascinated by its stories - the tales about exuberant wealth, about hopeful emigrants, about love, about human error and, of course, about tragic loss. The above photo shows my modest collection of Titanic memorabilia, both of the real ship and the movie. I was fortunate enough to attend the Titanic Exhibition in Las Vegas in 2007. I have also been to New York City and have seen the hospital where the survivors were taken and the dock where Titanic was meant to arrive. I own a couple of books about the Titanic, as well as a necklace with an authentic piece of coal from the Titanic inside of it. The movie, Titanic, is by far my favourite movie of all-time and I own the 5-Disc Deluxe Limited Edition (one of only 10 000 copies worldwide). I also recently attended an advanced screening of Titanic 3D.
All of these things have fuelled my interest in the Titanic more and more.
I will spend my day today thinking of all of the people who lost their lives on April 15, 1912, because their stories should never be forgotten.

Am I the only one who finds it incredibly upsetting that at this exact moment 100 years ago, hundreds of people on the Titanic were having the time of their lives thinking that they’d be in New York soon?

Honestly, it’s so upsetting I don’t even want to cheapen this sentiment with a .gif or anything.

It’s terrible.

Writing such an emotional post (as I can already tell this will be) about a television show may seem a bit ridiculous. That is, of course, unless you have actually watched the nine incredible seasons of One Tree Hill.

I just finished watching the last ever episode.
My heart is aching.
I’m balling my eyes out.

One Tree Hill is something so special. It’s such a privilege to be the age that I am and to have coincidently grown up somewhat in sync with the characters of the show. I’m not going to lie… Years ago, I really did not like One Tree Hill the first few times I watched it. However, my sister always had it playing on our television and I eventually started watching it more and more, until I was so hooked that I would take the time to write a post like this.

One Tree Hill has taught me so much. It has taught me that you are never alone; that it is okay to feel sadness and pain; that you should never give up on your dreams, even if things do not always go your way; that you should never be a victim to your circumstances; that death is never the easy way out; and that, above everything else, you should always aim to be the best version of yourself. Plus, it exposed me to so much fantastic new music through its soundtracks.

Of course, the storyline was often very melodramatic (sometimes too much for my liking). But there was always so much truth to the characters. Something about them always made them so relatable, even if the storyline was far-fetched. My favourites have always been Lucas Scott and Peyton Sawyer.

I just can’t believe that it is all over now. I feel liked I needed to write this post to pay homage to a show that I didn’t like at first, but that I ended up falling completely in love with. And the final season has been absolutely magical and such a fitting way to end such an amazing show.

Goodnight, Tree Hill.
