Acing A-Levels

So the dreaded AS and A2 Level results are in, for thousands of teenagers up and down the country...

Luckily for some they'll have got the grades they worked hard for while others, including myself, will have been a little disappointed. All I can say is at least I have another year and resits to help me rectify the mistakes I made in this last year, unfortunately for others that just isn't the case. 

I could have done a lot worse, in fact I was expecting to, as this year at college has been such a new experience and honestly, believe me and many, many others who will tell you, the jump from GCSEs to A-Levels is like a giant leap across the Grand Canyon!

So, I have decided to help you all out a little by creating this short guide on how to ace your A-Levels. I have used my experiences from my first year of college and also looked at things others have done this year (that I maybe should have), that I feel will really help you succeed when studying for your A-Levels;

Farewell Split Festival!

Today, it was announced that Split Festival would no longer take placed in Sunderland. The festival which has ran since 2009, released a statement informing us that there simply was not enough money to hold the event anymore.

In my opinion this is a huge loss to Sunderland in so many ways. Not only was it a great event that gave local bands and musicians a platform to share their music, but it also brought many music fans to Sunderland and made me, proud to be from the North East.

Leeds Festival - Sunday 24th August 2014

I attended Leeds Festival for the first time ever this year and it was such an amazing experience! I only went for the Sunday but I have so many incredible memories that will last a lifetime.

This year Sunderland welcomed Dizzee Rascal, Maxïmo Park, The Cribs and more to Mowbray Park for Split Festival.
