These words are becoming all too regular in my day-to-day life and it is these words that have caused me, on many occasions, to really think about my potential career choice. I have been writing for a long time and have always enjoyed it and, please correct me if I am wrong, but I am […]

When growing up, I was lucky enough to never have to spend a Saturday in detention, something after watching this definitive 80s teen movie I would give my right arm for. This is consider to be one of the greatest high school films, as well as one of Hughes’ most memorable and recognisable works and […]
