      @@ssaaa1 University in Canada and the U.K. is like college in the U.S. I’m from Canada, but I’m pretty sure the U.K. and Canada (and even other countries) are similar in this way. Our colleges are a bit easier to get into than universities and they focus more on hands-on learning rather than lots of exams and papers. It’s not the same thing as Law school or Med school. You must have a university degree and take an entrance exam before you can get into Law or Med school.

    Omg! Actually just started watching One Tree Hill for the first time (I know I'm late) and I feel like I would have totally enjoyed it better if I had watched it when I was in high school. I get this feeling while watching it like "Omg this is so high school🙄" and I always feel tempted to just quit it but somehow I'm still on it😅 Then I also started rewatching Buffy which I watched when I was way too young to fully understand anything I was watching😅 and though I thought it was cool then, I'm definitely enjoying it even more now, so yeah I guess that happens. I also recently just watched the Harry and Meghan netflix series and I loved it too❤ I thought it was very refreshing to hear their side and to learn all that was happening behind the scenes...Leandra, my goodness, I always feel soooo guilty even watching a single movie when in exam season but seeing you just breeze through these series with no guilt makes me feel so much better😅😅 Thank you Leandra and Happy New Year!❤️❤️
