Ahh right, my sister and me are similar intelligence wise. Oh right! My dad went to uni but my mum left school at 16 with 2 O-Levels. Its kind of it - except that that the teachers who we both have call us the wrong name :lol: Did you? How come? :smile:


Intelligent family then haha. And it just the way things worked out. I applied to go to sixth form where they went but I didn't like the certain subjects they had on offer. Hence why I travel slightly further away. And that must be awkward when they confuse you, do you look alike?

Haha not really :tongue: my dad did Alevels, failed and then went to do a 2 year college course before managing to go to uni. Ahh right, yeah you have to somewhere that offers what you like! Haha it is a bit, I don't really mind though. We used to, however she wears a lot more make up than me so we look quite different now :lol:

Aw that's so cute. Some siblings loathe each other or feel that affection is too weird but siblings are your best friends, to me they are.

Haha we do fight quite a bit, but she probably is my best friend yes. I would always do anything I could to help her (even if she doesn't reciprocate this :rofl:) I think you're right there!

I have family nearby and grew up in Sheffield sort of. Aww Portsmouth sounds good socially, some universities can be absolute bores despite being high ranking. Like if you have to live at uni then atleast have some fun attractions nearby.

Oh right I see! Haha that's cool :biggrin: I know what you mean, the student life is fantastic - student wise it is the same size as Sheffield actually (20,000 students). Yeah that's true - at least I will never be bored!
