4) At the moment I'm rly loving 'Desperate Housewives' and 'Vampire Diaries'
5) I listen to everything! however at the moment, I'm really loving Chappell Roan and OMG LAUFEY <3
I hope I can find some support and give some out on this chat <3

oh yeah i have heard it, i've seen some really funny jokes about it on twitter where people are acting like he's the next pop girlie (idk how active you are on twitter but fandoms for pop stars are known for being a bit obsessive about statistics and charts so people are parodying that a lot) and yeah i agree i think online spaces in general are really interesting for finding loads of perspectives yk? cannot wait to get to season 2!!

Hello I'm going into year 13 this year
1) I do a-level psychology, sociology and biology (all aqa)
2) Psychology is my favourite subject
3) I would like to study Psychology at university
4) My favourite show is a sitcom called Schitt's Creek. It's very funny
5) I listen to all sorts of music
Wishing everyone else going into year 13 best of luck :-)

I do the exact same subjects although OCR A bio! How are you finding the combination? I'm applying for human sciences/social anthropology!

Cool! I quite like the combination of subjects. Since I'm looking to do psychology at uni, it's nice to be studying one science subject (bio) and one humanities subject (socio) since psychology has both scientific and abstract elements to it. Although I find biology quite difficult if I'm being honest How are you finding the combination of subjects? I was looking into anthropology a while ago and it seems really interesting

yeah I agree Bio is definitely the hardest of the three! I love human biology but plant biology is horrible and the mark schemes are sooo specific. Psych is defo the easiest one for me and pretty interesting! Socio is such a meh subject for me I don't find it very hard but its just a bit boring. Good luck with your uni applications - where are you thinking?!

Yeah I struggle the most with plant biology. I've been meaning to go over translocation/transpiration. I find socio the easiest but psych the most enjoyable. Thanks I'm not sure where I'm thinking tbh because I'm still researching unis since we can only pick 5 (I find it stressful so I'm putting it off ). Good luck with your uni applications too; have you got any unis in mind yet?

ugh yeah transolcation will be the absolute death of me, I meant to revise bio over the holidays but I have been so busy that i've barely done any revision at all! For uni i'm defo applying for human science/social anthropology at St Andrews, Durham, Edinburgh, Birmingham and idk the last one. I know it can be really stressful looking so i'd recommend getting the league table up and just going through a few at a time, I found watching yt videos from students at that uni really helpful to get the vibe of the city and uni in general. Good luck!
