    About Me

    I have just finished my first year at university studying nutritional biochemistry.I had an account just under a year ago, under the name mini19. Not really sure what to write as im usually a very closed person! I had problems at school due to forever wanting to be the best / getting the best grades, i was working myself into the ground.I started self harming early on and at 18 it all got too much and i ended up in hospital after an overdose.Although i have enjoyed my year at uni , back home i have started to get very down and I dont want things to get out of hand. I am a caring person so would love to help others with anything.

    Interests

    I love driving , it is my life and has been my savior! I love scuba diving, rock climbing, reading random dark books.I like science and achieving.I like shopping, going to the cimema and meeting with friends (when i feel like it).I love my hamster i got this year , she is my best friend!I am also interested in others , their life and aspirations.
