My Very First Post

I don't really consider myself as a writer at all! The reasons why I've decided to start a blog is because: 
1. My University Lecturer advised that it would be a good thing to do 
2. One of my best friends keeps raving on about how she wants to start a blog so I though i'd give it a shot. Jem, if you ever read this, I would just like to say thank you in advance for inspiring me. 

Since this is my first post, there's nothing in particular that I am aiming to cover. I am currently sitting in uni at the moment, attempting to study for one of my subjects but it seems like procrastination has begun to get the better of me. I've had Keaton Henson on repeat, accompanied with raspberry, banana and pear bread and a marshmallow flavoured milk drink.

I guess the best place to start is to give you a bit of an overview of who I am. Well, i'm Lola. I'm not very old and I like pretty colours. I'm a fan of art, music, pineapple lumps, lists, Kippy skateboards and my Saviour. If anything, I think my Pinterest account will express my personality more than this blog, haha but hey, it doesn't hurt to try something new. I'm really struggling to find things to say but I am trying to avoiding reading other blogs for the time being so I can truly be me. The URL of my blog (Once in a lifetime) comes from a line from one of my favourite songs, 'Shot at the Night' by The Killers. I don't exactly have a super cool interpretation of that line but I guess there are some things in life that you might only get to do once in a lifetime  so take every opportunity you are presented with and don't have seconds thoughts because you never know, it could be the best decision you'll ever make. 

So there, short and sweet for my first post. I hope i'll eventually start producing things worth reading in the near future!
