As I enter my final year of school and sixth form, I have reached the point of having to actually decide what I want to do with my future, or at least the next few years.

Last week, I visited my grandparents who live in Devon. Because of COVID 19, we hadn’t seen them for eight months, so we vowed that as soon as it was safe to do so, we would book a visit.

What I Have Learnt From 2020: So Far
Yesterday, my friend sent me a message wishing me a ‘happy birth-month’. For a second, I was confused before I realised that it actually was July. Turns out, I’m one of the many who hadn’t realised we had entered July… This year has gone exceptionally fast. Although I’ve had many days sat in my bed,Continue reading “What I Have Learnt From 2020: So Far”
