If I was a flower, I would be a cotton flower.

I am a Hufflepuff, my patronus is a sparrowhawk.

My name is Lucy, I am a student living in London, and am in the first year of studying BA HONS in Early Childhood. One day I would like to work in Education and with charities to build schools in poorer areas of the world. I would like to build a platform to nurture children and support their rights to an education. I want to give back to the community and fight for everything that I hold dear to me.

Living in London, it is a very busy city and with a lot of things going on. I enjoy studying at the British Library and going to Museums. Although, my favourite place is my little corner of the world, my desk. Here I can have a quiet space to wind down and write and craft. I enjoy journaling the most as it keeps me mindful and eases stress.

I am also an avid tea & coffee drinker. I always have a hot drink on my desk and take around a travel mug. Hot drinks are warm hugs for me. However, I have to cut down on my caffeine intake, so any caffeine free would be great!

I also love astrology and follow the lunar cycle. I'm an Aries and enjoy reading books where I can get lost in. Mostly I enjoy reading classics but I also enjoy reading Fantasy. I also love to journal and write study notes. I like taking photos of cute things. I collect pens, washi tape, stickers and tea. Autumn is my favourite season, as I love nothing more than getting into my woolly socks and drinking a hot tea.

In my spare time I enjoy writing letters to penpals, posting on my instagram and journaling. I live with my partner in a small studio so swapping may be limited. I go through a never-ending journey of refining my wardrobe and organising my home.
