Long time, no…write?! It’s been a crazy few weeks – the lead up to deadlines before Christmas, travelling home and seeing family and friends whilst also trying to fit in uni work has meant that I’ve barely had time to stop and think, let alone blog (or sleep for that matter)! So apologies for the delay in posting, but thanks for coming back to read!

Since my last post we’ve said goodbye to another year and welcomed the new one.

I know for the world on a whole, 2016 has not been the best…

• Finished my first year of uni with grades I am extremely proud of. Curious about my first year experience? Click here to read all about it.

Welcoming 2017

I believe a year, just like life, is what you make it. The truth is that the world doesn’t owe you anything. This year will only be better than the last if you make it better than the last. I hope you have the courage to go out and achieve what you’ve been dreaming of, figure out what it is that makes you happy, and make the most of everything you have.

Let’s make the most of this new year; bring on 2017!
