If you are in the habit of being stressed out over some relatively small things, then know that over time you won’t be able to perform any task without losing it completely. Stress is known to shrink areas of the brain that are responsible of your mood, memory, and learning; ultimately making you feel older.

Remember that you are not in University anymore, and it isn’t healthy to have little sleep on a daily basis. You are not partying every other night...

England are one of the two oldest national teams in football; alongside Scotland, whom they played in the world’s first international football match in 1872. They were World Cup hosts and winners in 1966 and semi-finalists in Italy in 1990, though it’s arguable whether they are still a top ten team in the world right now, even though they’re officially ranked at #10 in the FIFA World Rankings. Most Capped Player: Peter Shilton, 125 (1970 – 1990) Top Goal Scorer: Bobby Charlton, 49 (1968 – 1970)

This resulted in a breach which allowed the high tides to overtop and flow into the protected land and inland road behind it. These raised defences provide protection to the RSPB reserve at...
