| Basically I'm gonna start my Psychology degree this Autumn, and after that I'd like to do a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. To get on the course you need a lot of relevant job experience so I'm doing some voluntary work outside of my main job. I'm applying to work for a charity that runs evening c... |

| Everyone knew me at my school, but everyone just thought I was weird, and talked to me, waiting for me to say something weird so they could laugh at me.. Once you leave school that'll change though! I met most of my friends through others, and I choose to only associate with likeminded people, inste... |

| I've only been permanent in my job for a year. Until then I always worked basically entry level admin jobs. I never even got a call back from any jobs on the website, but when you actually register with a branch and keep in touch with them, they can generally find something.. I just bug them every o... |

| In Japan they have rice with a raw egg poured in or fish for breakfast. It's only a cultural thing that we have sweet food for breakfast! |

| I have a green smoothie for breakfast every day, it's a few handfuls of spinach, a chopped frozen banana, a blob of peanut butter and enough almond milk to get it to the texture you like. I feel noticeably sluggish and my skin gets bad if I go a few days without. It's also super tummy, just tastes l... |

| I'm also around that end of the District line, Ilford and Stratford Reed offices cover that area, they've always been very helpful. I got my current job from Stratford Reed. It's in East London but it's just a bus ride away from my flat in Romford.. I found some of my first few jobs with Stratford R... |

| I was actually lucky in that I left school at 16 so have experience, just working on the qualifications now! Have you tried a temp agency at all? You can get experience, the consultants can help you find something suitable for you, and if it doesn't work out, it's easy to leave. Whereabouts in Londo... |

| I have mostly male friends. Most girls I know crave attention too much, and always wanna talk about feelings, which I'm kinda not into. I wear make up, but nothing animal tested so I tend to stick to what I trust, and see no need to chat about it. I'm interested in clothes, but only in the same way ... |

| I hit puberty early and have worn a bra since I was about 10yrs old.. I feel weird not wearing one now, I even sleep in my bra. I'm a 32E so I feel uncomfy with my boobs leaping about! Cos I'm fairly small with big boobs, I have a vest top with a kinda built in bra thing, and my boobs are so squishe... |
