WHAT KIND OF ENGLISH STUDENT AM I?

As English Language is my favourite subject, I find myself analysing almost every text I read. And I'm not kidding. Whether I stumble across an intriguing Guardian article or my Dad shows me a text he came across about a band he likes, I tend to end up rambling on about why the text is structured that way and who the intended audience is, without even realising! This is the reason why my goal is to do an English Language and Linguistics degree; so I can ramble on about language to people who will ramble back to me.

As a frequent sufferer from 'writer's block', I take my time when writing and consider myself to be a bit of a perfectionist. But this means when I do eventually finish a piece I treat it like I would my first child, showing my family and asking what they think etc. Even if it's just a blog post I want it to reflect what I can do so I can be proud to call it mine.

In terms of college, I also study Psychology and Use of Maths and I recently dropped Biology (phew!). Learning about the inner workings of the mind is very interesting and I also like to link this back to English and (fingers crossed) if I end up doing my degree I will be studying Psycholinguistics which is a combination of the two. And well, Maths is Maths.
