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
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that time has flown so, so, so fast and I can’t believe that term ends NEXT SATURDAY?! It’s absolutely insane and something I can’t get my head around. So many things have happened and so many things have changed since Freshers’ Week but it’s still incredibly strange to think … Continue reading

I have a small confession to make… I didn’t have any more plain filofax paper to print off another week so I didn’t use my filofax this week. However, I have ordered some more and it has arrived for the coming week! Monday Back to school, waah. Thought I’d started off the year well when I got … Continue reading
On Tuesday, an email popped up informing me that I have a university interview. My first university interview. It’s in 12 days. Twelve. My phone is extremely distracting, as is any other social media site. In order to prepare fully for the next step towards university, I’ve decided to take a break from social media. … Continue reading
