So you shared your face with us, but what makes you YOU?

Wow, everyone else has such interesting lives! As I was once told, I am too young to complain about having an uninteresting life, but we'll see

I live in Somerset, UK which is a really nice county with a lot of green, and not much else lol. I didn't really have much to complain about, yeah I was the 'weird' kid at school (I once got listed as the 2nd most ugly person in the school, now that hurt!) but I had a good group of friends so it never bothered me too much, I worked hard and got pretty decent GCSEs. I went to a sixth-form at 16 (where I met my boyf), and after I turned 17 the amount of pressure put on me by my tutor and a select few of my teachers just wore me down, I was refused counselling, my tutor would call me in for meetings with my mum and talk shirtballs about me to her (he once said that I was failing because all I ever did was sit around on my boyf's lap... how inappropriate is that?? And also wrong, I was failing because every adult in that place told me I was a failure and refused to help) and eventually when I ended the year with two E grades I was done and left sixth form just shy of my 18th birthday.

I worked part-time at a supermarket (which was fun, if not full of drama; one of my boyf's exes worked the same department as me, and she tried to get me fired a few times, taking out of context things I had said about her years ago on texts and showing them to managers and the like.) Eventually I left to pursue an apprenticeship, and although I got accepted for interviews nothing really came of any of them.

Then, in the March after I had left college, I was watching the news and saw something about a college near by that would be offering uni courses. I knew then that I was ready to apply back to college, to try again to get my A-levels before it was too late (You have to pay if you're over 19 when the course starts, and it started a month before my birthday so I just had to!). So I applied, got accepted, and started college again. I am now coming up to my final exams (In June!!) and then, if I get Cs in them (Which looks likely!) I will be heading to university in September, studying Business Management as it's a passion of mine! I've always been trying to start up businesses; when I was about 5 I wanted to own a dog kennels Now I'm more aimed towards snakes but you never know!!

That's pretty much it really... apart from that, I am a lover of reading, writing, and cooking! Me and the boyf have been together for three years, we've have our ups and downs but we're going pretty strong And we have the snakes of course! It's been a bit of a bad week what with Peaches, but we'll work through it, we always do!

Whether long or short, every part of life matters, can be beautiful or sad, inspiring or depressing. And seem like a life time.

It seems to me that the pressures that were put upon you all but smothered you, but here you are. You emerged and you conquered. Its wonderful you get to study in the field you love, and I'm certain you will make a success out of it. You will have that business one day

Somerset !!!! Oh, the Beauty of it. To be able to actually live there and take walks in that beauty. I'm downright jealous. Your coast line is so dramatic and gorgeous. I think I would have to spend my days just sitting there, or walking there, staring out into the beautiful sea or landscape.

I loved the TV show "Broadchurch". Wasn't so sure while watching the first episode or two, but then it sucked me in and wow, what a great show it was. In part because of the beautiful scenery. I kept having my breath take away and I kept thinking to myself, how does anyone there get anything done? How I wish I could just sit there and stare...
Next time you look over the beautiful nature around you, think of me and how I wish I could do the same

About Peaches, things like this happen. It was a accident. Its quite apparent how much you two care about that snake. She will be alright. Kudos to you for doing the right thing and seeking a Vet to help you with this. I'm crossing fingers and toes that she will heal quickly and uneventfully.
