A new year, a new challenge…

by Ben Clapton, posted in Archive, Life

Well, it’s 2012. 2011 has ended, and with it a whole heap of changes have been brought about.

The usual routines that we have fallen into will change dramatically, with our new lives being governed by college timetables and expectations.
