Any personal statement problems or advice?

Maybe you've already written your personal statement and submitted your UCAS application :banana: Did you find it easy or tricky to write about yourself?

If you're still in the process of writing your personal statement, what are you finding most difficult about it? Are there particular things you're struggling with :banghead:? Or are you completely relaxed about the whole thing? (If you do need some tips and advice, our statement builder and checker tools might be useful).

Those of you already at uni, what advice would you give to new applicants trying to perfect their statement?
Yo!

Cartoon & Comic Arts student, Gee, here! I'm the kinda nerd who loves writing resumes, personal statements and that kinda thing; so I actually threw together a blog on writing a personal statement recently...

Hope this can help a few people if they're struggling!

Just a tip, I found it really difficult to make a start with a snappy first statement. I found it really helpful to just WRITE anything that I felt was relevant, and then I placed it together as I went. My first line was the last thing I wrote.
