‘I just really like things the way they are’ We are creatures of habit. We love routine. We eat the same food, watch the same Netflix series and walk to uni the same way every day.

2 weeks ago I experienced my first ever live Football game. I watched Wales v Cyprus. I’m not much of a football fan so I was extremely surprised at the emotions I felt throughout the game. The excitement when Wales scored their first goal, the disappointment when Cyprus then scored, the joy at Wales’ second goal and the frustration at some...
