Just created this thread so we can discuss how we're feeling about our last year of school, discuss what we're hoping to do next year (uni for me eeek!), where you're applying, UCAS, college, jobs, we can talk about absolutely anything!

I got the ucas app on my phone and it has helped, but I'm still all over the place, one minute it's too long, the next minute it's too short, and I keep forgetting to put things in it :/

It's horrible isn't it? I keep writing and re-writing and I never like what I see It's got to be the most horrible piece of writing ever!

I'm from a town on the outskirts of Glasgow. You? And where are you thinking of applying? Mines are looking like Glasgow, Edinburgh, St Andrews, Aberdeen and Dundee atm, but I'm not sure between the last two and Heriot-Watt and Strathclyde :/

Mine sounds like I'm not even from Earth, I keep stupidly saying things like "the human race fascinates me" and "how humans communicate interests me" :L then I read it over and cringe...

Mans gonna go uni. Hopefully to do (Economics/Social Sciences combined with) German and Spanish.

Lol this is so true about the personal statement "I have developed a long-standing passion for debating, and a love critiquing arguments and mulling over the most controversial of topics" (not from my PS, i just made it up).

My boyfriend lives just outside Glasgow :P He went to Stirling Uni so I've been in the Uni and stayed in Stirling and I absolutely adore it there! So since then I've always wanted to go there, and I would quite like to go to Glasgow just for the fact it looks like Hogwarts slightly :P

Well, I think it's best to make it a little bit amusing and special, just so your personality shines through mine just sort of ran past the line between special and mentally unstable :L I'm sure your statement is fine :P
