What will you be doing differently in Manchester next term?
New year new you, hey
That time of year has rolled around again.
It’s time to say fare well to Fallowfield for a month and head back home. It’s been a long term, but what have you learnt from it? What will you be doing differently next time? Will you pledge to always make your 9am’s or just less nights out in Koh Tao?
We asked your what your semester resolutions are going to be.
