Fortunately, during lockdown I was able to keep busy with my college work. I mean, it definitely wasn't ideal having to complete my last few weeks of my undergraduate degree from home, but I do think I'd have gone insane if I didn't have work to do during the day.

I mean, I'm in my fourth year of college so I don't really think notes about … Continue reading Why You Should Consider A Common Entry College Course
For the most part, I've had a great College experience. I've enjoyed almost every module I've taken, I've had the most helpful lecturers a student could ask for and I've made amazing friends. It's been great. But I'm not looking forward to going back this year because the thought of going back for my last … Continue reading Final Year – What To Do After College?
A couple of weeks ago it felt as if this year was dragging. It was like months were taking ages to get through.
