I came to Solent through clearing, as I originally applied for Bournemouth University. Being me I stupidly didn't give myself an insurance choice, therefore I was stuck. The first uni I saw when I searched through clearing was the course here. I rang up and I was lucky enough to get a place. I visited the uni a few days after and loved it.
The equipment here is brilliant and I couldn't believe how many Macs there were. Other uni's I had visited didn't even have one. I also feel the uni has a very friendly environment and that's great because visiting new places is quite daunting for me. I wouldn't say I'm shy it just takes a little while for my full personality to come through, which I guess is the same for a lot of people.
I like to think I'm a funny person, well I try. Therefore I have thought that I'd like to go into radio. I used to have a radio station at my sixth form called "Radio Sheldon" however I never joined, partly because it was more about playing music than actually talking and interviewing people. The only problem is I wonder whether my voice would suit radio because you have to have that "radio voice", on the other hand with vocal coaching I may be able to get to that level.
I do enjoy writing about events that are happening in the world, as you can see from my previous posts. Plus I'm also interesting in talking about politics even though I didn't do well at it in my A Levels. However if you were to ask me something political, regarding the UK or USA I would easily be able to have a conversation with you about it. I'm gonna use the excuse "I don't test well" which is also why I thought this course would be good for me because it isn't all exams after exams, its essays and coursework which is what suits me best.
