A-Level results have just passed, so I thought that a year on it was probably time to tell you my University application story.

I must say however I’m not sure “break” is the best word to describe these few weeks away from university, because I’ve barely stopped studying. The January exam timetable was just recently published and I’m feeling quite overwhelmed by […]
