Being comfortable in my own skin is something I've always struggled with quite a bit. It's probably no surprise that I am on medication to control my emotions/feelings/overall personality -- I've probably even mentioned it before. This week, I was changed to new medication and am now in that 'getting comfortable' stage where I am 'finding comfort' in myself. Of late, there have been a few things that I have noticed myself doing to feel at ease and back to 'normal'. 

I'm now old, well 19 but I feel old... I had a pretty good week this week. I'm back at uni and fully into the swing of assessments, lectures and tutorials but I got to have a weekend away with friends for my birthday.

Hope you've had a good week!

Week 1: that thing that happened in high school that pretty much changed your life forever.

I think this is a fairly obvious one to start with... I've spoken about this in at least one other blog post before, but hands down the most life changing moment of high school was moving schools.

Here's a little thing I found when scrolling through Pinterest one day. It's a 19 Things I've Learnt thing, so I figured it was only fitting to upload for today as it's my 19th birthday. The 'headings' were in the one of Pinterest, but I added a little to them (the part after the colon). This author/creator of this list is Anonymous. I've uploaded my own version of this today, but I liked this one because it's a little less serious :-)

5.17am, Tuesday August 2nd 2016. I have this thing recently where I start my posts with a date and time stamp, I think it's me just trying to bring this back to its original usage - a diary. I haven't slept since I woke up Monday morning which is going to be a fun way for me to get through my day. It's a semi-casual day today; doctor's appointment, university and then I get to babysit my two favourite kids (Clark and Aila)!! I have a few things/people getting me through life, of late, and their lovely mumma (Meg) is definitely one of them.

Canberra is such a beautiful little city. Little background info for those of you who aren't Australian -- Canberra is the capital city of Australia. It's where our Parliament House and Prime Minister are, and all things politics happen here. Two of my closest friends from high school, Holly & Cara, have moved here for university and I got to come down for 5 nights this week to spend time with them. This is a long post because I wanted to add so many photos!!
Hope you've had an awesome week!!
The next time I update you with a Weekly Bit, I will be 19!!! AHHH :-) 

I thought I'd start a mini series, where each week I post a blog post addressing one of the topics below. I compiled this list from reading a few of my favourite blogs and a few I thought of myself. They aren't anything crazy or insane, but I thought it would be a good way to write new content. Each Saturday I will upload a post relating to the topics below (in order). 

1. That thing that happened in high school that pretty much changed your life forever
2. The worst movie you ever did see, and why
3. The day I left home

3.23pm on a Wednesday afternoon and I've found myself in this extremely adorable little cafe in the heart of Canberra (Australia). Theses days, I definitely find myself in some quaint little places in some very fun cities. I'm here visiting Holly and Cara and having a lot of very necessary alone time. One reason I went to America (aside from getting to spend time with my amazing family and exploring the local area) was to get away from my current reality and return my mindset to something happy and healthy. It didn't really work, because half way through I realised I was spending 24/7 time with them and never had any alone time to think for myself.
