So today something so great and wonderful happened to mankind (but very mostly me happened) following on from something not that great. On Monday - which was yesterday (if anyone is reading from the future or past and has just become confused - I got yo' back) something not great and frankly really rubbished occured in my life. Exam results. The worst part of said exam results other than that they were not very great was the fact that I'd really, really tried. I'm planning on writing another post about exams and my experience but the bottom line was although I didn't fail my exams (and got my A in English which was a definite woohoo moment) I didn't do as well as I'd thought, particularly in my beloved subject; history. Fair to say I was bitterly disappointed and a fraction heartbroken. However every cloud has a silver lining! (A saying unrelated to the story I am about to tell but I am fond of it, so it is included.) In March I sent Hellogiggles a piece in the hope of publishing. I didn't hear back and figured it got lost in translation, and I just kind of let it be. Que Sara Sara. Anyway - last night I decided what the heck (as I often do) and I was going to email again because I have lots of questions about being a regular contributor and why shouldn't I ask them!? Everyone seems super nice. So I did. When accessing the email that I use for all writing related wonder - I saw an email from the hello giggles teen editor saying that they wanted to publish the piece I'd sent in march! I AM GOING TO BE A REGULAR TEEN CONTRIBUTOR ON HELLO GIGGLES - MY FAVOURITE WEBSITE!!!!!! I could have cried when I signed all the paperwork - especially considering it was only two days ago I started this blog and mentioned my hope to become a columnist! Sometimes life does go your way, and hard work does pay off yet not always in the way you expect. Also - exam results do not count for everything!
I took a selfie to celebrate such a wonderous occasion. I look alarmingly long.
