So this was me, exactly 2 years ago this week. I had just dropped out of Uni, (I’m back now, it’s all good), and had no idea what I was about to do with my life. All I knew is that my parents didn’t want me lazing around the house for a year before they could pack me back off to university to start again. So what did I do?
