Over the course of many conversations with sixth form students, I realised that one of the things deterring them from taking a Gap Year was starting university a year late. For a lot of the people I spoke to, many were adamant that they were going to start the year with peers of their own … Continue reading
I thought it was about time I did a post talking about my UCAS experience, not just because I get asked about my application a lot by prospective students and younger students at my old school, but also because I think people will generally find it interesting. Believe it or not but I actually applied for a … Continue reading
In the past couple of weeks, saying I’m a little bit stressed out would definitely be an understatement. I’ve been rushing around like a headless chicken trying to buy and prepare the things I’ll need to take to university, organise my blog and my YouTube channel, socialise and catch up with friends, do my university prep … Continue reading
What is that I hear? Is someone knocking on the door? Can it be…? A-level results day has hurtled around the corner so fast I cannot believe it. Where did all the time go?! I finished my final exam seven weeks ago but the day which will decide my future has turned up at my door in … Continue reading
This, along with Go hard or go home, is my new mantra. Today, a notification from the Countdown App popped up on my phone: D2 Exam is 3 months away! Now this might not mean a lot to any of you but, for me, my D2 exam marks the end of A levels. In exactly three months, … Continue reading

Or for some, revision is the only thing they will be doing. Our mock exam week begins on my birthday (*sobs*) and continues for the rest … Continue reading
The last week before half-term seemed to drag – could the holidays come any slower?! Monday All of the lessons today were just revision lessons so we were all able to do our own work – mocks are after half term *cries* (they start on my 18th birthday… *double cry*) Tuesday I stumbled across ‘The … Continue reading
Today I want to share with you a video I stumbled across on YouTube… The 5am Club Since I have been procrastinating waay too much lately, I’ve decided to give this a go. Starting this evening, I will be going to bed at 8:30pm (yes, as you read this I am tucked up in bed), … Continue reading
Okay, I’m guilty. I’ve been really busy (and procrastinating loooads) on top of trying to juggle homework, revision for mocks, party planning, gap year planning and my numerous activities each week… so I know I haven’t managed to keep on top of blogging this week. However, I will be sorting out a proper blogging schedule over … Continue reading
