Merry Christmas and an almost Happy New Year

Oh my Jebus Christ. 2016 is finally coming to an end! I honestly do not know where on earth this full year has gone! How about you guys? It's crazy how fast time goes. Anyway, Christmas has just passed and basically, how did y'all Christmas go? For me personally it went really well! I love it! Spending time with the family meant so much to me and it was just so nice to sit back, relax and enjoy movie time with the famalam!

Another reason to why Christmas was good this year was due to the fact my amazing mother bought me a new laptop/tablet thing! The reason for my excitement over this amazing gadget is that I can finally blog once again on a regular basis! I could have blogged a lot more but I was struggling to find the place as well as the time to do so! But now I can take this awesome device anywhere and everywhere I go which is EPIC! I have never been so happy with a piece of technology before!

Moving swiftly on...2017 is two days away and I cannot exaggerate how scary that is! 2016 has gone so quickly and a hell of a lot of stuff has happened during this year! IT'S CRAY CRAY! Let's just re-cap what's happened this year:

• David Bowie unfortunately passed away! 
• The ye olde queen turned 90!
• I turned 18! 
• Prince also passed away! 
• Pokemon Go was released this year...
• A new Harry Potter book was released?!
• and just to top everything off: Donald Trump became America's new president elect.

I don't even know what to say in regards of Donald Trump's new legacy. I still think I am in some crazy nightmare that is permanently stuck on repeat. But I guess that is how the universe wanted things to do so they ya' go. But I did turn 18 this year which means I have a right of passage to pretty much do 90% of things within the UK. I can legally smoke, buy and consume alcohol as well as get inked. But will I do anything of these things? Hah, nope. I am reasonably sensible. Apart from my high chocolate consumption. 

Speaking of chocolate; my new years resolutions begin with NO CHOCOLATE or at least a cut down of sugar. I am consuming sugar on a regular, unhealthy basis and quite frankly; it ain't good for me. I am either going to gain a hell lot of weight or I am going to get type two diabetes therefore I seriously need to calm down on my sugar addiction. I am still trying to work out how to do so! :/ 

On another note, I shall write a blog post regarding my new years resolutions shortly but in the mean time I hope you, my fellow readers, have a lovely holiday and I hope you are all relaxing in the best way possible! 

Adios Amigos! I am ever so sorry for any spelling/grammar errors. I am still getting use to this laptop device! 

Also, Sammy's comedy of the day: 

I found this on Tumblr and quite frankly I have never agreed with such scenario in my entire life!

How to be Happy

This is hopefully going to be a guide to being 'happy'. In the world there are many individuals who are naturally happy. They may be living a stress free life. Or they was born with incredible amounts of serotonin levels. Anyway, my point is that some people on the flip side; are not so happy. I am one of those individuals. Certain things will make me happy but being a happy person 24/7 is definitely a difficult task for me. If I am not at home binge watching YouTube videos or chilling with the boyf', then I am not happy. Happiness is a difficult thing to achieve but it's possible.

Step 1: RELAX. I honestly cannot exaggerate how important it is to relax. Just spending time with yourself is honestly the most crucial step to happiness. Just staying at home relaxing for a day can boost your happiness level by 100. The best way I have found to unwind is running an extremely hot bath. Make myself a cup of tea with a high amount of sugar. Put some relaxing tunes on and get into that hot bath with the cup of tea and ahhhhhhhhhhhh. Relaxation.

Step 2: Get your jobs done. If you have rubbish in your room that is lying around. Then dispose of it. If you have hair grips lying around, put them in jar or move them into a box or something. Basically, but everything in it's right place. I have been doing this for a couple of weeks now and you don't understand how satisfying it is to get into bed and know everything is spick and span. Also, if your parents have set you chores, get them done. Just get them done. Just do it. Shia Labeouf.

Step 3: Go see your family relatives or friends or lover. Honestly, this makes me so so so happy. Seeing a close friend can make your day 10x better and so can seeing your lover. Family relatives also provide food. Food makes you happier too.

Step 4: Remove the sh*t out of your life. Literally and metaphorically. Remove any individuals that are not a good influence on you. Remove all unwanted junk. Make your life free off all stress and copious amounts of dirt. Honestly, this helps. I currently have a high amount of 'outstanding' work to hand in at college but each time I hand a piece of work in I feel so much better and it motivates me to carry on and get even more work done.

I think that is just a few steps on how to be happy. There are many more out there in the world but I honestly do not have the time to write them all down. Anyway, I hope y'all have a fantastic day and just remember, RELAX. R e L a X. 

😊😀😊

IT IS OCTOBER OH MY

IT IS OCTOBER. Shiz. I am ever so sorry for a huge gap in which I have no posted anything. I am 100% determined to achieve a blog post a day! 

Basically, I am currently in my third year of college. I could be at university and what not but nope I am still at college. Just to mention, I haven't failed any subjects or what not I just signed an agreement and now I am here for my third year. To summarize what you have missed off my life:

 - I have booked a driving test which I might be moving because of stupid driving instructors. So, I booked my test and than I have had to change my driving instructor for the third time. This is mostly due to having drove 6 different cars and I haven't even passed my test. My first instructor wasn't teaching me and I felt as if I was being ripped off. Than my second instructor had an issue with the insurance which caused him to have numerous cars. However, he had a lovely little petrol car which I loved and he said he was keeping and than he turned around and said on my next lesson I would have a different car. So, there you go. Driving is going great at the momento... 

- As you already should know, I previously won the art competition. I was invited to a presentation in which I received £250 and a lovely greeting from the business who was operating the competition. However, a photographer was there who took a series of photos so here, have the main one: 

Dah, daaaaaaa. (I am the one in the dungarees looking like a complete spanner, (like usual)). 

- *tries to think of what else has happened* ... Ah yes, I am still with le boyf. I think I will be for a very very very long time. Me and le boyf have had a snapchat streak going on for over a year which therefore means our current snapchat streak is at 512. Yes you read correctly, 512. Ahhhh, I do love him. We have had so many awesome adventures together and so far I think the one were we went to Center Parcs has been the best. We have been debating whether or not we should go to Center Parcs again in January because it will be cheap and pretty cool, especially if it snows. 

- Also, a trampoline park called 'Gravity' opened late August. I LOVE IT. So far, every Monday me, my sister and le boyf have gone and it is amazing. It is so blooming fun! It is basically a place with tons of trampolines as well as a huge airbag you can jump into. It is so fun. 

But unfortunately, that is all I have time for today. Again, I am ever so sorry about the long needed blog post, my life has been very busy. But I will PROMISE all of you that I shall be uploading photos, blog posts and even more. But, in the mean time you can follow me on: 

- Instagram: @thatdenbykid 

- Twitter: @thatdenbykid 

- Snapchat: samdenby016 ----> I prefer snapchat at the moment, it is fun. 

Anyway, I hope everyone has a lovely week, day, month and even year. Thank you for reading and I apologize now for any spelling errors! 

:D 

I WON

So, as you may already know, I did a large stippling piece of work which was a trawlerman. Basically, I got told that it was a waste of time by one of the teachers at my college and it was never put in the art exhibition in which I was promised it would. Anyway, another teacher loved it and therefore wanted to enter it into a local art competition were the winners work would be displayed in their office building and the winner would also receive £250. So, £250 does not seem that much but to me it is a lot. That is 2 weeks worth of working to me. But basically, I WON THE COMPETITION. I actually won something. I don't even care about the money, my artwork was loved by someone and I am so proud of myself.

Wahoooooooooooooooooooo.

I am so happy.

Live has it's little peaks and tweaks. Sometimes they upset me. Sometimes they make me happy.

I just thought I should let you know and once I get a picture of the artwork I shall show you! WOOP WOOP.

Anyway in other news I am  currently learning how to drive again. I don't like driving and I personally think it will take me a very long time before I even enjoy driving but yes, I am learning. My previous driving instructor has given up on me as he is portraying. He has not messaged me for two months and I have seen him in my hometown teaching other pupils so I shall leave him to it. But my new instructor is pretty cool, I think I have given him two heart attacks in the two lessons I have had with him. I dislike driving. I don't feel confident enough to drive.

I am still watching the Office. Every time I am at home I leave everything just to watch the Office. I think I need help.

I also need to revamp the blog. I would really like a good design and pretty patterns and stuff but I am not that computer savvy. Hmmmmm.

It is still weird being 18.

Anywho, I hope you all have a lovely day/evening/night! I shall speak soon and I shall return with a photo of the day!

Adios!

The Big Return / Him 2.0

Yes, Sammy has once again returned and I guess you are sick of hearing that! God, I have missed writing so much. However, it does feel very strange to write on a keyboard which isn't touchscreen. Very strange indeed. Anyway, yes I am going to try my very best to return and stay put here because I miss this. I miss this very much. 

I am 18, that is something you have definitely missed. I have had my first legal drink which was very interesting if I do say so myself. It was only a Smirnoff Ice but for an alcoholic virgin. Well. But for my 18th I was greeted with many great gifts and an amazing mother! I was mainly greeted with EVERY SINGLE SEASON OF THE OFFICE (US). If you are a long term reader, I think you will understand my love for the office so receiving that surprise made me so so so happy! 

Speaking of things that make me happy. Him. Last week we went away for 5 days to ye olde Center Parcs which can be located in a series of areas around the United Kingdom but the one I went to was Sherwood Forest, home of Robin Hood, (I think). But yeah the trip was courtesy of Him and I have never been so grateful in my life! It was honestly one of the best trips ever and I am honestly so lucky to have someone like him! He means everything to me and although I never seem to show him that I do mean it. 

... This still feels so weird to me. 

I ONLY HAVE 4 MINUTES LEFT UNTIL A RESTART OCCURS. 

omg. 

Basically, I love him so much and I want everyone in the entire world to realise that! We do have our little disputes but we always overcome them with smiles and tickles. 

TO BE CONTINUED...

sorry for any terminology errors and spelling errors and stuff. 

Consistency

Okay, so I am apparently have no consistency what so ever. Especially when it comes to writing blog posts on a regular basis. I always write a blog post expressing how much I am going to write something everyday but I never do but hey ho, what is the flow? (Don't ask me what that even means).

Life has been rather odd lately. Ups and downs and many round-a-bouts. To begin with: I have a crazy driving instructor. He raises his voice quite and lot and insists on murdering me. For example, earlier today I was heading towards a round-a-bout. You are always supposed to give way to the oncoming traffic from the right. So I did. My driving instructor was insisting that I go but I did not want to die, therefore I didn't go. (There was a silver corsa heading over). My driving instructor told me to then speed up whilst turning into a really tight road. So yes. I have come to the conclusion that he is trying to murder me! YAY!

Secondly: I decided to get a full fringe.

Mind the wonderful reflection within my glasses but wallah. Me with a full fringe. (I aimed for it to be messy so don't judge me please). I don't know why but I really wanted a fringe because I always have my hair up and I thought it would look nice so I had a 'yolo' moment and went for it. Boom. Majority of people are telling me that it suites me but you never know with people. 

Thirdly: College is killing me. No further comment is needed.

yOu CoMe FiRsT

I have come to the conclusion that all boys and men are strange. Especially when it comes to understanding them. I, myself, is the worst for understanding. I don't understand the stupid little things in life and I am starting to think that I probably should.

Basically, never mess a boy around. They also have feelings, (believe it or not). That is what I have done recently and trust me, it is not a good thing. Messing with his feelings was the worst mistake i have ever done because you don't realise what you have until you lose it. Long story short, I am an idiot. But it is all okay because I have finally come to my Sammy senses. I am one large nugget and I have no realised that.

Here is some advice, never listen to other people, always listen to yourself and yourself only. The only person who can change anything is you. You are the reason for why you eat everyday. You are the reason to why you go to bed at the time you do. You are the reason to why you decide to talk to someone. Everything is all down to you so don't let anyone change that for you! Always listen and take care of yourself. I always end up putting other people before myself and that is were I go wrong in life. By putting others before yourself on a regular basis you begin to feel really down yet happy at the same time. This is one contradiction which you will never understand unless you are one of those people pleasers.

You Come First! 

That is what I am going to start doing from now on, put myself first for once. It sounds very selfish to me but in reality it isn't. It is all about happiness and I believe the key to happiness is responsibility. Responsibility for yourself along with others. Please, always remember that!

On a slightly happier note, I finally have an amazing PC thanks to him. I have missed him so much and like I have said a couple dozen times, I finally came to my senses. I finally got my dream of a pc and my dream of a man bag and I honestly could not be happier right now. There are still parts of me which are depressing and sloppy but I guess everyone has those parts to them. Everyone.

Music is amazing. It is a mood changer. But, you know what isn't amazing, this noisy keyboard. It is very early hours in the morning and people are trying to sleep yet all you can hear is the clanking noise this keyboard is providing. It isn't like any normal keyboard, oh no, it is loud, qwerky but still pretty amazing. It does the job though.

Anyway, I better tuck myself back into bed before this keyboard wakes up the whole neighbourhood, Now, that would not be good. It could be rather funny on the upside. I hope everybody has a wonderful day/evening, whatever time of the day it might be! Thank you for reading!
