I was born just outside Birmingham and have since, at 18, moved myself and my accent to London to attend Queen Mary University of London. At the moment I am trying to tackle learning law – no easy task, but one I am enjoying. I also work part-time at the Disney Store, where I have been seen wearing Christmas Mickey Mouse ears.
London isn’t an easy place, as I have found the hard way, after breaking my leg. The crutch is no match for the tube. But it is a brilliant place, and I’m so glad I moved here. I love football, although playing and watching has been put on hold due to injury (and despair at Aston Villa’s performances). I am also trying to shake off an addiction to Game of Thrones.
I started reading the Guardian about three months ago as a place to learn about the law in action. I hope my tutors aren’t reading this, but textbook law can be a little dry. What the Guardian has done for me is bring it to life that little bit more. It is interesting to hear the opinions of columnists who, while I might not agree with them all the time, add an extra dimension to my learning.
The Guardian Students section is also something I turn to. Other than being a great help – its university league table ultimately dictated where I went – it offers relatable articles that make a great read. A recent article I enjoyed was Pop culture 101: a guide for out-of-touch judges, which made some of the issues in law more accessible to an at times slightly lost first year.
