Fast forward a year and I am hardly ever put anything up and it really upsets me because this is like my baby that I get to put all my love and emotions into.  Basically, since I started my 2nd year of university, I've been trying so hard to get my grades up by starting essay's way ahead of deadlines, doing all the reading ahead of the lectures and making sure to fill in gaps in my lecture notes. I've also been trying to get further in my journalism dream so I'm now the online...
