September has been a slightly tough month for me but I had a feeling it would be. I went back to school so I have been very busy doing homework. Unfortunately this has meant that I haven;t had time to blog as much as I want to let alone any time to comment on anyone's posts. I have been struggling to write 2 posts weekly that are a quality I am proud of so sorry. For example, the reason that this post is late is because I was busy with extra curricular stuff.
Autumn is well and truly here and I couldn't be more glad! Autumn is definitely my favourite season (even though I say that about all the seasons!) so I decided to list all the reasons why in a blog post! If Autumn isn't your favourite season then maybe I can convince you to love it.
Today I thought I would write a chatty post so I asked my followers on Twitter for some questions and this is what they came up with! I asked for some questions relating to blogging and school as school has started so I hope you find some useful tips.
@katerosebeauty : How do you balance school with blogging?
I am really bad at this as you might have been able to tell by my recent blog posts! A main tip I have for this is plan everything out and use every available minute to draft posts. I am going to start drafting blog posts on the bus so that I use that time effectively and don't feel stressed when I come back from school.
Recently, Charlotte from VieAvecCharlotte wrote a blog post called 20 before twenty where she listed 20 things she wanted to do before she reached the age of twenty. I found it really interesting and starting thinking of my own that I have decided to share with you! I want to make the most of my life and make amazing memories so this should help with that.
When I was creating this list, I thought of all the things I wanted to do and then compiled them but I also thought of what could actually happen, considering I won't have that much freedom to do these things as I will be in my late teens. I love the idea of having a definite ending to when I have to complete this list and I am so excited to get started with it.

What do you want to have completed before you are twenty?
ps: I am still looking for people to guest post, if you are interested let me know!
So for today's blog post I tried something a bit different. I had planned to do a room tour but I didn't want a post which was super long as it would have had 2885 pictures. Instead I filmed bits my room, created a video and uploaded it to youtube. I hope you liked this format!
I am not an organised person and this school year, I really want to try to be, so I bought an A4 notebook with the aim of making it into a planner. I wanted to get into bullet journalling, but I didn't think I would be able to keep up with it, so I decided that I would create my own format.A few months and a lot of googling later, I have created a planner that works for me and I thought I would share it with you.
Are you ever in that situation where you desperately need something at school, to realise that you don't have it and you have to suffer through the rest of the day without it? This is always me at school. It will be a PE day and I won't have a hairband and will have to ask everyone in the changing rooms if they have a hairband or risk an elastic band that the teachers will give us.
As I go back to school on Monday (cry) summer is officially over for me. Way back in June I shared my summer bucket list with you and now I am going to update you on how well I have completed it. I had so much fun completing almost all of these and I can't wait until next year.
I am also thinking about starting to write autumn and winter bucketlist's because I enjoyed this one so much but I am not sure. Summer is probably my favourite season and when I have the most time which is most likely why I complete almost everything. I have already started writing a bucketlist of things to do before I am 30 so if you would like to see that let me know!
