Dream jobs and Photography passion!

Photography has always been a passion and hobby for myself, but being the dreamer I am, I would love to travel the world practicing and capturing photographs professionally. Carrying my camera in my hand, music blasting through my headphones and wandering through life, capturing snaps of a day to day basis.  From daily selfies to random days outs I love capturing a moment with my favorite people in my life.  Anyone who knows me are constantly dreading the endless amount of photos I take but for me personally, it is nice looking back on the memories I have gathered.. From the many night outs and parties to festivals, to just relaxing and chilled days, but of course that is just the personal photography which everyone does!



Studying Religion and Education I learn about new religions and cultures from various different countries and how they experience life in a particular way with the subject of Education and Religion as the bases. I  love learning about these types of experiences, cultures and life ambition which fuels me to want to teach the next generation about this type of subject. As a dreamer I would like to be teaching and advising in Australia or somewhere abroad and doing my photography as a pastime. But of course, these are just big dreams I would need to save money, find a job and be financially stable to live somewhere else. So for now I am happy having two homes with the best people in my life.

Here is some snaps of my amateur photography:
From Sunsets!

 To Dawn/Sunrise:

To visit places and discovering places: 

To Animals/Pets: 

To Just general snaps: 

As you can see I love snapping photos to reminiscing as they don't last forever, Moments are temporarily in life so I want to experience every one of them. I struggle with issues with my short term memories which can be a problem  so referring back to these photos helps remember and form the memories. When I am older I can look back at my past and see everything I did, enjoyed and discovered so photography has many benefits for me. I would  love to expand and develop into Photoshop, Photo shoots, Weddings and many other interests!  I would love to live the dream exploring new places, discovering new things and experiencing new cultures. But for now I will enjoy pondering and spending time with my friends and family.

The Fault in Our Stars Book Review

After the diagnosis with Dyslexia and Dyspraxia one of the recommendations was to start reading books more so I started to read  The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Many different critics have contrasting opinions on the books from describing  it as 'predictable' and 'overrated' to one of the 'most heartbreaking' but 'amazing' books ever written. It is a contemporary romance novel about Hazel, a girl suffering from cancer, who meets another cancer patient, Augustus at a cancer patients’support group. I read the book over two months due to other commitments such as assessments, travelling and many other things. In one night I managed to read two quarters of the book as I couldn't put it down, I was so interested to find out what was going to happen next.  My analysis of the book as a whole was a beautifully written book, but the love story was just an underlining quality which I loved, but as the characters as the main base of such an emotional journey in the book. Hazel Grace was such a sassy but stubborn character, but the qualities bring out how under all of the fieriness she is just a girl who wants to fall in love,drink and experience her teenage years. Augustus Waters is a boy who is a headstrong realist  with qualities of  being a soft-spoken charmer who understands the situation Hazel lives in as everyday portraying her life as a struggle. Reading the relationships of these two characters develop is like typical two teenagers who form a romantic connection , fall in love with each other and make mistakes.

  

In February  I was wide awake so
 Cookie dough  with this book was a perfect night in! 

For me personally the 'terminally illness' is just an underlining theme, I see two people with their own qualities within their characters who have strong thoughts and feelings towards each other. They are just trying to fit in in this world; watching other people flirt, fight or struggle each and every day and night. These two individuals are just trying to experience everything that life throws at them. Exposing themselves to love, pain and sadness throughout this book I saw them fixate on something of mutual enjoyments which leads them on a journey. Many life lessons can be taught from these two inspiriting characters who cherish the time together and facing all the obstacles along the way. If you decided to read this book then make sure you have tissues at the ready!

.

The Fault in Our Stars teaches to appreciate life and be graceful for every day through  the experience of Hazel-Grace and Augustus waters with the illness as a secondary concern. It teaches you to be strong with who you are and be grateful for the people around you. John Green is an incredible author using a secondary concern as a twist in a romantic story line. People will have different views and opinions on the book, but dealing with my own personal issues this book was an escape of the stress in my life and reading this, I felt the heartwarming feelings and heartbreaking emotions throughout every chapter; I laughed, cried and even spat my drink everywhere at one point but I would highly recommend this book.

Rating: ★★★★★

I am extremely looking forward to seeing the film and I am glad that Shailene Woodley is playing Grace and Ansel Elgort looks like a great Gus.

Thank for reading my personal review of The Fault in Our Stars! I apologies for any grammar,spelling or sentence mistakes I am still getting used to this!

David Cameron, you deserve the dunce cap!

Everyone is entitled to their personal opinion in regard to Disabled Students Allowance but for me personally at university it has been one of the most helpful and positive things with dealing with my Dyslexia, Dyspraxia and Anxiety! The extra funding has allowed to make my situation easier for me in ways I could never imagine! I would have never thought struggling in my first semester with no help or DSA would be such a strain in my academic and personal life. For some people it is allowing them to explore new opportunities as a DSA student some are able to go to university and have extra support and funding available. For some mature students it is allowing them to return to education and achieve new developments, achievements and degrees in future prospects. But for me, I am managing to raise my grades from D's to BS, I have grown with confidence with concerns with my anxiety. I was never self-confident with giving presentations to people throughout school and college, I used to stutter and miss out words when presenting but this semester I have managed to keep my anxiety and stuttering under control allowing me to achieve a B in my group presentation as teachers were aware of my disabilities and issues One of the positive things York St John have done is providing note takers so I am able to focus on taking in the information and listen to the lecturer without worrying about making notes at the same time. I sometimes struggled with my anxiety so I could not attend seminars or lectures, but the student support and DSA allowed the note takers to give me the notes which were benefit for the different assessments. DSA has given me necessary equipment to help my experience at university more beneficial to my personal tutor funded from who has helped me with my issues with my Dyslexia and Dyspraxia with the assessments, presentations and other academic problems I am having. I have enjoyed the experience my first semester and without the DSA I wouldn't be able to achieve the grades I have and achieve more personal confidence in myself, the support has been amazing.

First post! :)

So this is my first official post so I will do an  intro on who I am and things you will see on my blog
I am Luke 20 from the North East on England but studying in North Yorkshire, I would describe myself as a procrastinator like my blog name suggests. I spend too much time putting off  uni work and distracting myself with many social networking sites and TV series mostly Doctor Who or Supernatural. I guess this is another distraction too....oh well anyway I type how I talk which some people do when it comes to these things. I would definitely say I am dreamer as I am always creating scenarios and daydreaming anywhere and everywhere. I am constantly on wanting to do things I wish I could do, for example I would  love to be travelling the world doing photography. I am an amateur photographer but it just a hobby for me as I am just wandering through places with a camera taking photos I like/love imaging the places I wanted to go to in the future. I am a tea drinking, music loving, cat appreciating Whovian who likes a night in watching movies with the family and also I love a good drink and night out with my friends.

On my blog I want just post about issues to do with sexuality, disabilities, mental health, religion, education and many other things but it is mainly my personal rambles from me in a way to vent and de-stress myself.
Apologies on any grammar or spelling mistakes as I am not so good with these things but
Thanks for taking the time to read my first post! Feel free to leave a comment, and blog ideas.
