2020 has been a testing year to say the least. Who would have thought we would be living through a global pandemic in which we have spent months on end locked up in our houses? Not me that’s for sure, but here we are. It can be super easy to get down about the current […]

2020 Has Been Hard for Everyone. Especially Graduates.
Linkedin If you had told me at the start of this year that I wouldn’t physically get to hand my dissertation in, I wouldn’t get a graduation, and I wouldn’t get to say goodbye to my friends at university, I don’t know how I would have got through the start of the year. At the […]
