A-A*


5) What are your current thoughts about your next steps after A Levels - university, apprenticeship,

The controversial acquisition of twitter by Elon Musk

My favourite series would have to be the walking dead while i also enjoy z nation, generally anything to do with a zombie apocalypse.


10) How many hours do you spend online in an average day? Is this too little, too much or about right? Why? (If you have an iPhone you can use Screen Time to get an accurate figure of how much you use your phone).


I would say i spend around 4 hours a day when it comes to social media but its far greater when it comes to videogames and YouTube. I do believe i spend an okay amount of time online generally
