Quote: Aaron @ June 13 2008, 12:20 AM BSTI was in that proverbial boat when I was your age (God, that sounds so old-man-story). No idea what I wanted to study, and apart from greatly preferring London/south-east, no idea where. In the end, totally by chance, a prospectus arrived in the post one day and a few specific courses jumped at me.
A few have jumped at me, but too many which are too diverse to allow me to write a personal statement-and I can't order them for toffee!

Try cream caramels. I always find ordering them is a) Easy b) Theraputic. I am indeed a guiding light to the youth of today.
It's not going well. I have one quote so far. My "strong opening."
What are you interested in doing after uni?
No idea! Writing, maybe? But I'd probably do something else first.
Don't do something first. Do it at the same time.
That's a good point, actually, but I still don't know what I'd do. My personal statement has gone wrong within...120 words. Poo!
I'm not surprised. You've been distracted by Roscoff and his cream caramels.
It was always going to be rubbish, but it's actually going *so* wrong.
Would you like us to write it?
Haha yes please! 
My only advice is to not mention the BSG or Aaron at any point. Aaron has a restraining order from every uni in England and a couple in Thailand. Though they're not actually universities. He can't resist those lady-boys.
The image of Aaron being restrained is not one I want to dwell on 
I don't want to do English anymore-it means my Personal statement actually has to be well-written. 
How awful that they insist on it being well-written - anyone would think you were doing a language subject
