4. In uni, I struggled really badly with my mental health and was so terrified of my housemates (who had set up perma-camp in the living room outside my bedroom) that I would often climb out of my bedroom window to get to the kitchen.

5. Also in uni, my housemates and I owned a Taylor Swift cardboard cutout that we'd stealthily position around the house to scare each other late at night. Cries of "FFS TAYTAY" were a regular occurrence.

6. One of my friends was meeting up with a dude after school and was worried about it 'going too far', so we wrote angry warning messages in black pen below her trouser line.

7. I always listen to Let It Go from Frozen before job interviews, and so far it's worked a charm.

8. During uni, we stole a bunch of bricks that were lying around outside and used them to build a platform in our living room. We placed one sofa on top of the platform and the other on the ground in front of it. Boom: tiered sofas.

9. Growing up, my dad would fashion my duvets into mountain ranges and set me up with all my dinosaur toys to get me started on the epic adventures which would keep me entertained for hours.

10. I first realised I was okay at creative writing in year three when my teacher told the class that I'd got the highest mark for my story about a lizard who fell in love with the sun. I actually looked behind me, thinking she was speaking to somebody else.

11. I didn't go to the majority of my uni lectures because I was so insecure about my body.
