I will be acting as a student ambassador at the Oxbridge Classics open day next Monday! If you have any questions about studying at Oxford or applications, etc, or you just want to attend some free Oxbridge lectures (from my own tutors), there are still online tickets available! Or, if anybody’s going in person, I look forward to seeing you in Cambridge
Guess who got into Cambridge on Monday!!
To do Classics! - the subject I love SO SO much… oh my gosh…
I finally did it, I finally made my dreams come true. I can finally release all the excitement and all the want that I made myself hold in and suppress because I didn’t want to tempt fate. And after my interview experience I wouldn’t even dare think about a future where I went to Cambridge. I was dealing with a lot of family issues at the time and my second interview was just a slow and painful death by Latin grammar, I remember sitting in silence for what felt like forever after logging off of that final zoom, just thinking I had thrown it all away over the ablative case. And I spent weeks thinking that. And I was wrong. And I have never been more happy to be wrong in my life.

Second day back at Cam & a full day of revision to be done!
Honestly finding it quite hard to focus because it’s rather monotonous, but has to be done. Getting increasingly worried for mocks as I run out of time. But we struggle through!

Working late tonight after spending the day seeing friends for the last time before going back to Cam,and planning a holiday with them in Europe
Still mindlessly revising 18th Century British Politics. Hopefully soon my posts will diversify and I will end this monotonous regularity.
I have decided to end my posts with one thing that made my smile (trying to up my positivity because last year was not Great). Today, seeing 3 of my friends just in general made me unbelievably happy. What’s made you smile today?
Hope you’re having a good new year!
See ya tomorrow

Starting the New Year right with some revision!
Forgot to post yesterday because of new years plans (although I did actually do work, be proud!!!)
I hope you all had a good New Years Eve but if you didn’t, just remember that every stroke of midnight brings a new beginning!

See you tomorrow!

one of the things that i often struggle with is worrying that my hard work will all be for nothing, but then i think that in the end, the feeling of satisfaction in itself is enough.

Hey kiddos
I have been offered a place to study Modern and Medieval Languages (French and German) at Cambridge University!!!!
I want to pass the good vibes forward, so if you’re thinking about applying or are just curious, please feel free to ask anything!
I’m especially putting this out to state-school kids - we are just as capable as anyone from public/private/grammar schools, believe in your potential and I will offer as much help as I can xx
