Keeping The Balance

Keeping the balance is something we all struggle with in our final year of schooling, myself included. At the commencement of the year, I jumped into everything.

Not only was I happier and more well-rounded as a result, I was also able to succeed in both UCAT and in my final exams.  The golden rule for staying well-rounded is that you...
