AIBU to share my news with you?!

So, after a crappy few years that includes dropping out of School, not finishing my A Levels, working Min Wage Jobs to survive, having a baby, health scares, diagnosed anxiety disorder and a mental breakdown, I have now applied to University!

My family don't seem particularly bothered so I just wanted to share my news here instead.

I submitted my application this morning and the decision is pending. I should hear back by the 6th July. I'm excited and scared!
