After Christmas, the next big event I had in my diary was a trip to Boston, Massachusetts. We planned on leaving on the morning of Sunday 28th December, 2014. After an enjoyable flight (roast beef for dinner? yes please!) we managed to work out how to get to the hotel using the T subway. As […]
Thoughts #4
I haven’t done one of these posts in a while and I think now is the time to start them again. I like to have a ramble about all the jumbled thoughts in my mind (and, if you’re like me, you’ll enjoy reading these sorts of posts too!) Yesterday, I was frantically texting every person […]
New Year | Journals
I’ve kept a year-long journal/diary on and off for most years of my life. For 2015, I want to write something down every single day. Even if it isn’t a page full of writing, I want to at least write a couple of sentences about my day. I want to be able to look back […]
Oxford Interviews
It’s been a week since I got back from my interviews at the University of Oxford and what an experience it has been! I thought it might be useful to do a post about my interviews because I know lots of people are curious and interested in what happens and what it’s really like. I applied […]
The Future
With university offers flowing in for a number of students in my year, and with the large majority finally sending off their UCAS or awaiting a response, it’s time for everyone to begin thinking about the future. For me, getting an offer from one of my top choice unis put things into perspective: I’m really […]
Get involved | Christmas Blogger Gift Swap!
I actually can’t believe I’m posting something about Christmas already, it seems so near yet so far away… Anyhow, as it’s my blog’s first ever Christmas, I thought I’d organise an exciting event to celebrate! Christmas Blogger Gift Swap (UK only) I want to invite all bloggers, regardless of whereabouts you live in the UK, […]
The Extended Project Qualification (AQA)
I thought I’d do a post on the EPQ qualification that many students in sixth form or college do since I’ve recently completed mine and thought I’d give my own opinions and talk through my whole process. 🙂 The Extended Project Qualification is a qualification aimed at sixth form students to develop and extend an […]
Thoughts #3
I will workout today. I will not waste my day on my laptop. I will get lots of valuable revision done. I tell myself these things everyday, and almost often than not, I don’t stick to them. Summer is fast approaching and I promised myself I would kick-start my ‘bikini bod’ regime (if you can […]
How I ran my first half-marathon in 02:14:05
Yesterday I successfully completed my very first half-marathon in a time of 02:14:05. I ran the Ranelagh Richmond Half-Marathon to raise money for a Bosnian charity called “Our Kids”, a charity which provides for a Bosnian orphanage and I will be visiting this orphanage for two weeks in July. The total is yet to be completely […]
Thoughts #1
I’m in a weird situation. I thought I knew what I wanted to do at university but now I’m not so sure. Higher Education seems so much more scary now because everyone else in my year either knows exactly what they want to do at uni and thus career-wise, or they know the field they […]
