Hey everyone it’s Zainab, today I thought it’s been a while since I’ve done a Life Update and a lot has been happening lately so I thought I’d just sum it up in one post!
2nd Covid Lockdown:
Okay, so the main thing I have to talk about in this post is the 2nd UK National Lockdown! Honestly, I don’t know how I feel, it hasn’t changed much for me as they have kept schools open. To be honest, I really wished schools closed – I love school however in my school we have already had some cases which I’m kind of nervous about but hopefully everything will be fine.
Starting Back At School:
So I’ve been back at school for around 2 months now and I’ve already had my half term! I’m currently in Year 9 which means I’ve started learning my GCSE Content. I definitely think this year will be my year at school! At the end of the holidays, I set myself goals for this school year and for the first half term I have managed to achieve them! The only one I didn’t manage to do is extra curricular activities as they have unfortunately been cancelled.
Exercise:
I have no idea why but lately I’ve seemed to want to work out more and more, I think it’s probably as I’ve been eating a lot of unhealthy stuff recently! The workouts are definitely helpful, however some days I’m motivated some I’m not, so if you have any tips let me know below!
Starting A Bullet Journal:
So, I’ve recently started a bullet journal and I’ve really been enjoying it! I love how you are free to choose whatever spreads you want or how you want to decorate it!
So guys that’s everything I’ve needed to update you guys on, let me know below how all of your lives are going!

I also am worried about my school which is still open but there are several cases! I am going to try and set goals for each term since 2nd term is starting in a few days! And then midterms… I do not know what it is like in the UK, but in the US, in high school (ages 14 to 18/grades 9 to 12), we have midterms halfway through and finals at the end! I am in my first year and so I haven’t done them yet, so I want to make sure I am prepared! Expessially since we may end up going fully remote at school… I have no idea what’s to come haha! I was wondering after you take the GCSEs, what do you do? I am from the US so I don’t really know!

Hey Arabella! Yes I think a lot of people are worried about schools at the moment! Ahh I didn’t really know about midterms! In the uk, after GCSEs you go to sixth form where you study for A Levels and your A Levels determine your university!

I find it so odd how your schools are still open!! It’s the complete opposite here, schools are closed but there are no restrictions otherwise!! Props to the UK- hangs in there everyone😚
