Hello my beautiful friends! This blog post is my experience of the Warwick and Birmingham open days, which I attended last week. I do not mean to influence anyone through this post and these are just my own opinions. I thought this blog post may be insightful for some of you and useful for myself to look back on. I hope you enjoy! 22/06/ 18 - The University of Warwick Open Day I attended the open day with my mum and we arrived by bus having made use of the Park and Ride. Immediately, I was very impressed with how modern and lovely the campus was as well as how well-organised the event was, which gave good vibes from the beginning. With some time to kill before our first talk, we visited the SU and various social and food places. There are so many facilities for both grocery shopping and eating out - it is not necessary to leave the campus! The SU, like the campus, is very modern, which seemed very welcoming and a great place to socialise. Personally, I had mixed fee...

Hello my beautiful friends! Recently, I have been going through the Head Girl selection process at my school. For reference, this process consists of Being nominated for the position by a peer. Making a speech at a hustings. A student and teacher vote. The nominees with the most votes are interviewed by the Head Teacher and she decides the final Head Boy/Girl and Deputy Head Boy/Girl. I did my speech on Monday last week and the vote took place on Thursday and Friday. It would be an honour to be Head Girl; however, all of the candidates are wonderful girls, so I will not be disappointed if I am not appointed a position. Nevertheless, I thought it may be useful if I posted about how I overcame my fear of public speaking and what I included in my speech. I am a very anxious person, and thus I experience anxiety when public speaking. The main advice I will give is to just do it! The morning of the hustings, I strongly considered dropping out, but I didn't drop out and I sur...

Hello my beautiful friends! I am back for good (until Year 13 mocks 😉)! I have so much news, hence the "Life Update" part of the title... I attended a Taster Tutorial at Oxford University during half term, which is the heart of today's blog post. I had my Year 12 mocks last week. As many of you know, this was the reason for my inactivity on this blog and my Instagram over these past weeks. I am considering posting a results blog post or Instagram post, so let me know if this would interest you. I am currently going through the application process for Head Girl at my school, which may be the topic of next week's blog post. The application process involves public speaking (I did my speech today), so I may share how I bottled my nerves to do my speech as well as what I included in my speech. University open days are upcoming! I am attending Warwick, Birmingham, Imperial, Nottingham and Cambridge. Hot off the press, I have been offered a place on a University ...
