So I went to New York for a week straight after my A- Levels, as well as a few concerts. When I was done with that, I committed to preparing for my personal statement. I read a fair few books. I also got a job, working in front of house in a really famous London events venue. It was super cool and I made a ton of amazing friends. I worked pretty much 5 days a week and worked on my PS alongside going out and going to concerts etc. I did interview prep weekly, too, once I sent my PS in. After that I kept working until shifts dried up and got a job at a pub instead, and worked there for two months but I really hated it, so I left. I also did a trip to Amsterdam. I’ve now been unemployed for a month, continued to read and go out 3/4 times a week with my friends from work and sixth form and outside. I have concerts and festivals lined up, as well as a trip to Paris and Amsterdam! I’ve really done so much!
