As a Media and Sociology student, a vast selection of my course is focused around ‘The Media’ – shock horror, I know.

I have been very busy lately, so please excuse my poor blogging turnout recently. Since been back home in London for four weeks, I have been trying to find a job so I can get some money while being back at home. Money that is well needed for rent and for the upcoming academic year. […]
