Bored With The Run Up To Christmas?

If you are like me you have recently broke up from school, college or university and are basically now waiting for Christmas, but the days waiting feel like forever or you end up being the dreaded B word, Bored. Here is a few things I do in my spear time or when I am bored that you could do to help pass some time.



Play Apps:

Both the Google Play store and the Apple App store both do well at making lots of fun and slightly addictive games accessible, so why not use them. 

My top 3 FREE addictive apps to play!


1. Stick Hero- This annoying game is simple, get to the next platform by simply making him a bridge to cross. This addictive game has had me annoyed for hours but I always go back for more. .

2. Dumb Ways to Die 2- This game is so stupid that I love it.The basis of the game comes from saving these cute characters from their deaths from things that many people would consider (hence the name) a dumb way to die. The only downfall to this game is that it can become repetitive which does take the spark out of the game a little for me as just by what you see before any instructions are given you know what to do but I guess this happens in every game the more you play it.

3. Make It Santa- This game is both annoying and silly but simply brilliant. Basically you have to deliver presents by throwing them down the chimney however, you have to watch out for the naughty children waiting up. The aim of the game is to go as fat as you can with delivering presents. The most annoying thing about this game is that it takes some time to get used to the camera angle of the actual game. In my opinion it is too zoomed in to have any reaction time to throw the presents but once mastered it is great fun. My current high score is 13 so see if you can beat that, If you do make sure to let me in the comments below.

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 Review

When it comes to a all around film,  Mockingjay had it all.
Mockingjay is the final book in the series written by Suzanne Collins and after being a fan of both the film and the book I have to say I wasn't left dissapointed.

From the outset, the film was filled with clever tense scenes which left me holding my breath is suspense. These coupled with both action and narrative, really made the film flow well.
I could clearly see the rebellion starting to take form with both sides using videos in order to win the districts , it definitely reminded me of politics but they are fighting for power.
I think Jennifer Lawrence did an amazing job in this film and I truly cannot wait to see her talent in part 2, which if you have read the book you will know that it will be a true masterpiece if executed well.

The artist Lorde had her part to play in the film. She helped with the soundtrack which was played in the credits of the film however,  I do think her talents could of been put to better use with possible soundtracks in the film.
