My Results Day Story

Hiya Guys The last post I wrote was about how to cope with results day stress and I can honestly say that I didn't follow any of my own advice haha! However I have now got my results and can look forward, but obviously I am going to share it with all of you! Unlike many others, I didn't get up at the crack of dawn to see my results (although I could've because I didn't sleep a wink). But when the clock struck 8:30 I woke my mum and sister up and dragged the Ipad up to check my results on my college's intranet. Lone behold, I maybe didn't do as well as I had hoped. I had been expected to get 3 As but I came out with 3 Bs. Although I wouldn't say that I was hugely disappointed, because many of my exams were so hard, it did mean that I couldn't go to Newcastle University as I'd hoped. Luckily I had Queen Mary's University in London as a back up to study Modern and Contemporary History and I am now a student there. Hey-ho, I love QMU

Oh No! Exam Results!

Hiya Guys, I know that within the next few weeks, a lot of you lovely people will be getting exam results for either your GCSE's or A levels and I am in the same boat as all of you guys. I know that I am so stressed out by the day looming (13th Aug - unlucky?) and my mum is giving me tips to try and calm me down, so I thought I'd try and pass down something to you.

What you got represents what you were back then and as long as you can say that you tried your best then stressing now will do no difference. You did them then and there is nothing you can do now to change it so you might as well accept what happened. 2. Exams do not define you as a person I know that adults everywhere will make a huge deal of these results and telling you that your life counts on it. Well it doesn&#

My London Top 5 Attractions

Hiya Guys, I know it's been a while but I really haven't had anything to write about because I spent the last few weeks on Youtube doing nothing (I know we've all done it). But this week I had the pleasure of leaving dreary Manchester and going to London for 4 nights! It was a week of beautiful weather and there are some things I think you should all do if you ever visit London and my experiences.  I stayed at a Premier Inn and all I can say is that, for the price, it is an absolutely amazing place t stay that doesn't break your bank. There are loads of locations to choose from and you can choose somewhere that fits in with your itinerary. Also, there is no point taking the car around and if you are staying for 4+ nights. The best thing to do is to buy an Oyster Card and top up everyday because it is cheap and the use of the under and overground is the best way to experience London. Once you're in London, you need to decide what to do in yo
