I finally did it!

Hey guys!
GUESS WHAT (it isn't really that much of a surprise) but I've sent off my UCAS application! (hence the title I did it if you didn't know what I was on about. I only sent it off on Friday as first my English teachers needed to write more on my reference as apparently my psychology teachers wrote more than my English ones even though I'm applying for an English degree not a psychology one.. Anyway, then it took me practically the whole of Friday to get it done as my head of sixth form helped me pick universities with lower entry grades because if you haven't noticed, most of the good ones are ridiculously high which is just unfair. Typical me but I also completely forgot about my science and art gcse, probably because I blocked out the art one as I was so close to a B and for the amount of effort/work I put in it still annoys me even today. Luckily your teacher can send back the application to you as many times as you need which in my case was about 5 because oh yeah I also didn't realise you had to put your AS grades in. But like I'm sorry does anyone actually know what advanced subsidiary means (now that I say it it's obvious that it's short for AS) but we weren't explained properly about the application so yeah let's not blame me, life lesson for you: don't blame yourself..always blame the school;)

In the end I applied for York, York St Johns, Chester, Sheffield and Newcastle Uni. My target grade is ABB so in the unis I chose I have some AAB but they accept ABB and some below like BBC or 300 UCAS points as backups. Honestly I do have favourites but I'm just gonna wait to see which ones I get offers from..if any (you wouldn't think I was an optimist reading this but I am honestly) and then go visit the places again as some unis I haven't even been to I've just read/heard about them oops.

So if any of you haven't sent off your application yet then take it from me who procrastinated ever since I finished my personal statement and just avoided my teachers for a bit. The longer you wait to send it off, the more stress it'll cause you because you will constantly get reminded to send it off so basically do it to shut up all your teachers who harass you to do it. Also congrats to anyone who has got offers already, you smart piece of shit;) my compliments get less complimenty every day (it's a word okay..)

So honestly I haven't done much apart from UCAS and rushing work in my private studies because sending off my application has always been in the back of my mind and it's been stressing the hell out of me.

(IT'S DONE, IT'S LIKE THE BIGGEST WEIGHT HAS BEEN LIFTED OFF MY SHOULDERS YASS) side note one of the reasons I love the word 'yaass' now is because of this video I saw on facebook of a clip from the lion king of them saying yass but in different pitches it is the best thing ever! (it isn't actually from the Lion King but I wish it was) Google or Facebook it now!! I'm waiting...
let me know what you think, if you don't love it then I'll be disappointed in you (only for a bit then I'll get over it ha)

Just had to get my excitement out but quickly moving on. The reason it's posted later is I've just finished my first proper 6 hour shift at Next and then been doing school work. What a fun life I live..but the reason I say proper isn't because I haven't done a shift before because I've done 7 hours before but on sale week where all you do is tidy, organise and basically pick up clothes off the floor as well as helping customers. Today I did my till training and wow I sympathise with people who work there full time because damn the tills are so complicated nowadays and especially with it recently being updated to touch screen it literally take decades to register once you've tapped it and then actually load (no exaggeration or sarcasm here;)

Anyone been watching I'm a celebrity or strictly (my mum's got me into strictly) but Lady C is so irritating as she thinks she is so above everyone else when in fact the only reason she is a lady is because she married a Lord?! The insults she uses just shows she never was and never we will be a lady though, ugh she just goes too far like saying how Tony Hadley doesn't even have a good voice..I mean he's a legend I always have gold stuck in my head (don't know if that's a good thing though) On Strictly, Jay is my favourite because he used to be a member of one of my best friend's favourite band (and he's really cute) and then Helen as I love watching her on call the midwife she is such an amazing actor and now an amazing dancer..so jealous of her looks though.

Hope you're surviving school/uni/work! Remember to always enjoy yourself and don't put so much pressure on yourself (if only I'd listen to myself more..)
Byeee (until next week)
Sophie
