As the end of the year approaches so does my least favourite holiday - if you can even call it that-. I don't know what it is about new years but I've never warmed to it. The pressure you have to make sure you are doing something out of this world when 12 strikes is ludicrous. Then there's the resolutions no one ever keeps. But this year is different. I have decided to document some achievable resolutions with the hope of checking them off throughout the year.
1. Re-read all 7 Harry Potter books.
I am an absolute nerd when it comes to the boy wizard so I don't think this one will be too difficult.
2. Visit at least 2 different countries
I have a little obsession with a certain English capital so it will be good for me to break out and see what the world has to offer.
3. Move into my first apartment.
I'm 24, it's about time!!
4. Learn something new.
I have been looking into evening classes for months now. It's time to actually start and complete a course.
So I just wrapped up the final episode of E4's Sorority Girls and have been pleasantly surprised by how much the show has sustained my interest over the past two months. The concept is fairly simple, 5 current sorority girls from the US have been sent to the UK with one mission.... To launch it's first ever sorority- Sigma Gamma.
At first glance - in my opinion - episode one can come across very cheesy and staged which is completely different from the vibe I get in the episodes that follow. The reality is that both the British and American sisters are smart, witty and well rounded individuals.
From ridiculous challenges, to priceless reactions and hilarious commentary throughout each episode, this show has a light hearted mood with a heart felt message.
With only 2 of my 5 favourites (Claudia, Alex, Sophie, Charlotte and Alana) making it into the final, I don't know how good I'd be at recruiting new members but I had a lot of fun playing along every week.
If you haven't watched this series I highly recommend you do. It certainly brightened up my Monday evenings and left me a teeny tiny bit jealous that sororities weren't around when I was at uni.
