Of course GCSE spanish counts! You'll be able to tell people about what your bedroom looks like lmao. Seriously tho GCSE languages were pointless ennit. I do French at A level atm, and its soooooo difficult in lockdown, so im relying on Duolingo lol.
Would you like to learn any different languages?

I would LOVE to learn another language but I was never very good at any I tried to learn. I'd love to be speak Italian so I could study in Florence or Rome of something. Haha sorry I didn't even ask what A-Levels you're doing? I have a friend who does French and she says its really hard so I'm sure lockdown makes it even more difficult!

Haha I do English Lit, History (obv) and Geography and then I did an EPQ last year (which I hated). I just think studying abroad would be so cool, especially studying history because its so diverse. I was planning on interrailing around Europe but I'm not sure how likely that is with COVID :frown:

I did it on the most random thing lol. I did it on the impact the media and social media has on the spread of the anti vax movement. I don't really know why I did it because it doesn't really relate to any of my interests haha but I wanted to do something separate to my A-Levels. What was Law like? I've always thought I would like law but its not an option at my school.

Honestly mate nothing special about Law at all. It is so incredibly boring lolll. Lots of coursework and in general not as interesting as I'd hoped.
Thats definitely a unique topic for your EPQ lol. Was it interesting?

ummmm well it wasn't too bad but I'm glad I don't have to do it again haha. That sucks about law, I went to a law day once to see if I thought I would like it for Uni but I found it kinda boring and it wasn't as interesting as I had hoped. Ye I hated EPQ cos it was so long but its good for uni because I got a grade drop!

I was going to do my UK Masters in January but for personal reasons, I won't. Do you know any full-time students looking for accommodation? Mine is in Birmingham. It is the Emporium which is a 5minute walk to BCU, Gold Studio for 33 weeks.
