About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

So I have to admit I'm not one for staying in one place University however, has tied me down for 3yrs. I plan on jetting off as soon as I finish. To be honest I am amazed that I even went to university in the first place (my mother eventually convinced me) as I hate education but yet I love to learn, for me these are two very different things. I want to learn by doing and meeting people, hear their stories and experiences, not just read about them in a book or on the internet. There are so many places on this earth that need to be admired and cultures to be experienced.

I'm super sporty and play netball nationally (Super league netball, check us out we're on Sky Sports :D) however I love walking, tennis, thai boxing, rugby, football (Stoke City FC until I die), I think it's safe to say I appreciate any sport :)

So being a student I have to admit I have a great social life and I love meeting new people and just hanging out with the ones I've already met! I do have a pretty demanding schedule so I do what I can with my spare time, but I definitely won't be lying in bed until 2in the afternoon, despite being a student.

So that's me in a rather big nutshell :)

PHILOSOPHY

I want to live by this quote

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Mark Twain

Interests

Sport, hiking, going out, beer gardens! TRAVELLING :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a bit of geek when it comes to books I love Shakespeare, Tolstoy, Charles Bukowksi (his poetry that is) however, I do like the usual Harry Potter and all that!
Music, well I love it all except that screaming stuff, I do not get that one at all! I also love Classical music as I play the Violin, piano and a little bit of the guitar.
