Alisha's Corner

Hello everyone! So, unless you've been living under a rock, I'm sure you guys know what's been going on in the world. People worldwide have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic- some more than others. However, a LOT of people are on 'lockdown' right now- which, unsurprisingly, is boring. Here are some things that I recommend doing so that you keep your sanity. Before I start, I just want to say that my thoughts are with all of you- especially those who are more vulnerable or are in a country that has been hit hard. I am very aware that, even though I am upset about what has been going on, there are plenty of people who have it so much worse. To those of you who have had events cancelled, I'm sorry. To the class of 2020, I'm sorry. To those of you have been struggling with your mental or physical health because of this, I'm so so sorry. You are not alone.  Here are some of the things I suggest doing to keep you occupied... 1. Keep in touch wi...

Hello everybody! Welcome back to my blog. So, unless you've been living under a rock, I'm sure you guys know what's going on in the world right now. Corona virus has impacted people worldwide and I am no exception. Where I live, school has been cancelled until further notice, and we are on lockdown. I might do another blog post soon about the situation for me personally, what to do in quarantine etc. but today, I wanted to get a lot done so I thought I would take you guys along with me. I haven't actually seen a blog-version of a day-in-the-life so we'll see how this turns out. This is just something to keep me occupied and maybe take your minds off of the current global situation. Hope you enjoy it xxx. Disclaimer: I haven't taken pictures of the food I ate- just the work I did.  First things first, I had breakfast: cheerios WITHOUT milk! Yup. I hate the texture of cereal with milk, and since I'm quite a picky eater when it comes to breakfast fo...

Hello everybody! Welcome back to my blog. Happy February! Honestly, it feels like January took forever to end. Usually time flies by, especially in such eventful months, but January took a long time for some reason.  We all know the worldwide things that happened in January. There were earthquakes, fires, an idol passed away and there was even a potential war. Not the best start to the year for all of us in my opinion! But there were also a lot if personal highlights for me- which I will be reflecting on in this post.  This month I...  Celebrated New Years with my family and friends. My family came over from New York and London and we spent the Christmas and New Year holidays together. Also, my really close friends came here too.  Got my mid year exam results back.  I'm in the British system and am in Year 10- the first year of my GCSEs. So these exams were technically the first exams I've ever sat as a GCSE student- and Alhamdulillah th...

    Hello everyone, Welcome to my blog. My name is Alisha and I'm a 14-year-old girl who... tends to go unnoticed. I'm the type of person who keeps her head down, has a few friends but nothing crazy and I'm usually overlooked. I'm the invisible girl- and I've always enjoyed it. The other day, though, I realised that not everyone feels this way. Sometimes, when we're overlooked, it hurts us. And that's okay too. That is one of the reasons why I made this blog. To make people feel like they're less alone and that other people do go through similar circumstances. Another reason is that I genuinely enjoy writing- a lot. There are more reasons, but these are the main two. I'll be honest: I have no idea where this blog is going to go. I don't really have a specific "niche" yet- I'm just going with the flow. For now, it's basically going to be a virtual diary. I'll write about my thoughts and feelings, successes and failu...
