As many of you may know, two months ago I organised the #apovgiftswap (Christmas Blogger Gift Swap) for any bloggers who wanted to get involved. The whole point of this swap was not only to receive some lovely Christmas gifts, but also to get to know a fellow blogger (and hopefully one that would become a […]
Travel | Boston 2014-15 Part 2
Here’s Part 2 of my trip to Boston – Part 1 is here Wednesday 31st Today we had planned to visit Concord (about a 40 minute train journey from Boston) to see Louisa May Alcott’s house. We took the subway to South Station where we bought tickets for Concord. Luckily, a train was about to […]
Travel | Boston 2014-15 Part 1
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 […]

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 […]
