About me.

 Hi, 

I'm Alexandra Mills, I'm 17 years old and I'm half Czech and half British and I moved to the Uk from the Czech Republic, to study at Hurtwood House. I'm taking Media, Theatre and Photography as my A levels here. At my old high school in the Czech Republic I did not take as creative subjects as I am now at Hurtwood. It was more academic. For example economics, maths and sports psychology. I am more of a creative person so I am very happy with the subjects I chose. Also my life revolves mainly around music and sports. I am an ex-professional boxer, swimmer, softball player. But I had to give up doing these sports professionally, to be able to come to the Uk and go to this school. Also I am a singer/songwriter and I produce my own music myself. 

In my free time or while doing my prep/school work I do watch movies, series and on some occasion even tv shows. My all time favourite film whould have to be 'Clueless'. I just think it's a classic and it's my go to film if I'm not having a good day and want to bring my mood up. I'd say that my film taste has changed over the years so much. At the moment I like watching comedies and romantic movies more than any other genres. But I do sometimes enjoy a good action film, if I'm in a mood for it.

 

I have and still sometimes do bing watch a lot of series (mostly on Netflix). My absolute favourite series is 'Jane the virgin'. It is funny, very emotional, real/fictional at the same time. It has reminds me of a modern telenovela. The howl series is exciting and makes you want to watch more and more every time. Then a classic that I watch with my family a lot is 'Friend'. I must have seen every episode at least 4-5 times to be honest. Also I like series that have a good story line and have unexpected turns, for example Ozark. I really loved that series, it was very different to what I normally watch it was more dark, deep, realistic.

One of my hobbies are also documentaries. I find myself enjoying crime, life on the streets, substance use mostly. For purely understanding and seeing other sides of every day life in the world. For instance substance use documentaries help me understand how bad drugs, smoking, alcohol actually are. how it affects our body, emotions and life in general. It has made me stay clear of drugs and educate my other friends and spread awareness. because I found out that nota lot of people realise what they are doing to their bodies and that they are hurting themselves... and then they could hurt someone else as well.

Other then films/series/documentaries I enjoy Music. Music is in my every day life. I always have my headphones in or I'm listening to music out loud whenever I get the chance. I listen to almost all genres, but my favourite type of music is R&B and soul. My favourite artists are Sinead Harnett (she isn't that famous though), then Nik Tendo (who is a Czech artist) and also Sabrina Claudio.
