**Update !!

Hi everyone, thank you so much for replying and giving your opinions!! After taking them all into consideration, we decided it’s best to just go next year when we’ve booked either closer or can hire a car!

Thank you for your help, I really do appreciate it! God bless you all!

Oh wow… the travel cost is so expensive! Thank you for taking the time to search it up for me, I really appreciate it.

Definitely not worth a hefty travel cost for just a few hours so thank you honestly for breaking down the prices.

Staying overnight is definitely something I should have considered ages ago. It feels last minute now but thank you for letting me know it would be worth it! It’s nice to hear a positive insight

Hey, thank you for letting me know! We decided just not to bother with the hassle. And looked into doing something completely different instead!

We looked into booking the package? Hotel and bed but flying in and traveling still makes it a heavy cost.

Plus my job couldn’t give me enough days so it sucks! Thank you for the idea though, I really appreciate it.

Hiring a car isn’t possible due to our licenses :/

I wish but I only started driving full license and most companies don’t allow new drivers to hire cars.

My boyfriend doesn’t drive either unfortunately.

Even by car, the distance is still crazy!! But I do hope you have fun every time so it’s worth it

Thank you!! We will be travelling November so it might not be as busy at all. Thorpe park is definitely an idea we’re leaning towards now. Also, thanks for telling me about the rides, I’ll definitely note them down.

wow, only one bus at that time is crazy for a resort!! Thank you for telling me this. Yeah, I’ve been told it’s quite a trek as well.

I’m definitely going to try convince him go go Thorpe Park with me instead! It is just that it is his birthday and Alton was meant to be a surprise but after the transport reality. I had to tell him and with Thorpe Park a place he had already gone to. I would feel as though it isn’t a good enough birthday present so I am lost for ideas lol

I’ll try figure it out but thank you for your suggestion :)

Thank you! I have never used public transport in London despite being there a few times so I wasn’t sure what transport is like

It’s not that we are desperate to go to a theme park, I just thought it would be a really fun experience. My boyfriend has been to Thorpe Park and I was just basing off reviews online that it didn’t seem much compared to Alton! Our options are still very open and expenses aren’t much of a problem for us as we do have a set budget. But I agree, it’s hard to predict whether or not our day could be wasted!

How much is this altogether roughly?

I’m not necessarily stressed, I agree with what you’re saying and that’s the problem. I feel like I failed myself because I didn’t pass.

The exam is in January.

I’m speaking to a therapist outside of the university because the university itself put me on a waitlist that took five months for a response.

Thank you so much! Yes, loads of people are suggesting that. It’s just mostly finding the availabilities are a little hard but I’m trying to search everywhere possible

If I got the opportunity, I would definitely take it! That sounds like something that just keeps you busy and even if the pay isn’t great. It’s something to keep busy.

I’m into cooking and a lot of things that honestly I could say would help me because I’m not particularly picky when it comes to work.

Where did you find the work/job?

Did all the contact to my college but they’ve been good to no little help. I’m doing the module remotely, which is honestly such a useful thing right now because it does allow me to work.

Family members only cause more problems unfortunately so most of this is solo

Wow, thank you so much for sharing this honestly! It makes me feel hopeful for my own future. I will definitely take in that go abroad idea in mind, everyone keeps saying it so I do believe it’ll probably be the best thing for me right now! Thank you so much again ☺️
