I learnt that almost everything I did at school wasn't worth the time I spent ignoring it.

I learnt that French is a language to be spoken, not conjugated.

I learnt that alcohol could be my friend and not my support.

I learnt that just because I was a girl, didn't mean I couldn't enjoy doing 'boys' things like riding motorbikes and plastering walls.

I learnt that life is basically unfair and if I wanted something to be right, I had to fight for it or change it myself.

I learnt there is no such thing as 'happy ever after'.
