I've just sat AS levels, like a lot of people here might have just done. I feel I did alright, might get 4 A grades and if not, there's 1 or 2 resits around the corner which will get this for me, but anyway: I was thinking about universities and my future looking over everything and I thought "yes, I am academically alright and a nice person (I try my best to be kind to people) with a lot of interests in loads of different things." The thing is, I want to do Law which is obviously competitive anywhere in the country but I'm not sure that I'm cut out for the best universities - I know that there will be many people much more prepared than I will be, so I don't know. I think a good uni is important for what I want to be but I'm just not sure if I'm honest. :nah:
I had this crazy thought a couple of hours ago - there is a world beyond the UK! I would love to go abroad to somewhere like California to live and get my education there. It's the place I dream of living when I'm older, it just has me sort of written all over it! But my parents would most likely see it as a deluded fantasy. I don't think so, what's the difference at the end of the day? Really? I'm going away anyway so mehhhh
[I would take a gap year to do work experience, another AS/A2 level and random bits and pieces to enhance any application I make. It's a chance that I want to take and if that ends in horror, then I'd be willing to accept that it might be a year of my life wasted. But life has to be taken as it comes doesn't it?

Can you please help me and either 1] bring me back down to earth from my crazy thoughts, 2] inform me of how much of a chance there is [don't worry about money etc let's ignore that here] or 3] if there's anything along these lines that you have done or thought about in the past then please comment
