Diary of a Wimpy Kid
Hey guys! It's me again! I thought I might share with you guys a snapshot into a week of uni! As you guys may know, the timetable between Uni and High school is really,really different. Often you may just have 2-3 classes a day, at most is probably 4. They are...

The Power of Humanity
It’s been a rough few weeks. Test upon test, assignment upon assignment. A pale face, unwashed hair and a permanent set of panda eyes was my new everyday look. Putting it lightly, the word happy wasn’t a word I was expecting to use for a while. …Though,...

Hi’s and Lo’s
