Hi there peaches! How are you all doing? I'm so excited writing this post because last week I received a phone call and I was offered some work experience at a local newspaper because, I don't know if I have already told you but I want to pursue a career in journalism, and so I thought this would be a great way to gain experience and an insight into the field and actually determine whether I want to be a journalist or not. It was one of my baes Gaby who currently has a column in that newspaper, who inspired me to ask for the opportunity so a huge shout out to her! I can't wait to get started and hopefully build up a portfolio for university and I might just explore other areas of the media, such as radio, too, who knows?! I'll let you all know how it goes but today I am back and it's time for a little rant!
          We all have things and chores to do that we dread but obviously it is for the good of human kind that we do them. Whether it is hanging out the laundry, (we don't all have tumble dryers), or doing chores around the house, we dread doing it but benefit greatly from doing them. We all have our own peeves but I'm going to discuss my top 8 and I'm sure many of you share them too.

1. Getting Up 
The moment every weekday morning when our alarm goes off and the realisation hit that yes, it's 7am and yes, you have to leave the most comfy, warm and cosy place on earth to put on a cold uniform or jeans and go out into the cutting wind. This makes me want to hibernate...forever.


2. Washing 
I'll never bemoan personal hygiene, oh no. But we mean washing our clothes. Why isn't there a clothes fairy that just arrives and makes everything clean, folded and back in our drawers? Oh and come to think of it, washing our hair? Pain in the hoop.

3. Internetting 
I'm not sure that's a word, but it covers a multitude. There are many occasions when you dread logging on to your email, Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp. After a particularly fear-inducing night out, after you see a 'tagged in' alert....yikes!

4. Working Out
Sometimes there is nothing more painful than the thoughts of throwing on your runners and going for a jog in that weather but when we do eventually move our behinds, we are usually happy about it. Usually.

5. Cleaning
The place is in bits. There are empty milk cartons everywhere and you could make a wig out of the hair that is matted into the carpet. Time to clean. But oh, What's that? You'd rather shave off your own eyebrows than get out the hoover? Yes, me too.

6. Confronting
You know there's a problem there. It's eating away at you. Whether you are pissed at your boyfriend for something, or a colleague is annoying thee life out of you, confronting someone is a scary prospect. But it's gotta be done, so get your opening line ready...

7. Mondays
Yes. They happen every week, and every week we dread them. We hate that the weekend feels so short, (particularly when the fear sets in post-lunchtime on Sunday and you are stuck writing a six page essay), and we hate how much work there always seems to be. Monday we need to talk.

8. Dentist
We have been known to put off going to the dentist for decades. We dread even the most straightforward of dental treatments to the point of it being a little unhealthy. Same goes for any kind of...internal...examinations by a medical professional. We would rather not, ta.

So there are some of my nightmares and I'm sure you can relate to most, if not all of them. What are some other pet peeves that you have? Let me know in the comments and see if I share them too.


As always, thank you for reading,
