You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.
Non Brits are so lucky they don't have to talk shit about why they want to chose that specific university course.

"blah blah i wan do petroleum engineering because i liek sunflower oil"

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
Just say how it has been your undying passion, since birth, for you to do... media studies at the University of [insert shit Uni here].

But seriously, think of something you've done in your life, and how it can in any way apply to whatever course your doing.

Oh and btw 2/5 offers, one of which  I'm now on...so don't be too worried if it goes tits up after you've sent it off.

Yah, Petroleum Engineering. Portsmouth university is by a beach which is nice, I also want change so moving to a new city wouldn't be too bad but at the same time I could save thousands if I just stayed at home in London and went to UCL.

if you can afford it do it. I'm moving to Atlanta next year which will be a shock to me because I've never lived in a large city, I'm kind of just hoping I don't die.

Choices??

Geology at:
Manchester (Declined)
Bristol (Declined)
Cardiff (AAB - Accepted and on the course now)
Leicester (AAB, with A in Phys - Had to decline considering I had just dropped Physics...)

And Exploration Geology at Cardiff also. Technically I got an AAB offer here too, but it turns out the first year of this and the Geology course are the same and I could change in the first term to either, so I kinda wasted this slot, and declined it seeing as I had an offer in Geology there.

I could post my Personal Statement, but be warned, I sound like an absolute twat-hammer in it.

Have you tried the Student Room? They have a library of personal statements by subject that could give you idea...a lot of them are pretty shit. Also some Unis put the sort of thing they're looking for on the PS in their admissions statement for that subject.

Ouch, good luck man that's hard. Well imo anyway. PE mainly involves just calculus, it's not that advanced either so I'll be ok >.>

Chem engineering is supposed to be really hard. Sucks for me because I'm looking at double majoring that with electrical engineering, which is also supposed to be really hard.

But I'm just going for the bare minimum of a 3.0 GPA, so whatever.
ChE and EE? Nice.

God, I can't even begin to tell you how much I hate chemistry.

If you go to Pompey, i'll have to teach you to speak like us, you will support Portsmouth FC and Aldershot Town, and you will behead any Southampton fan in the street.

You will ascend

Well if I can get away with putting fucking dog walking on my personal statement you should be okay in the end.

Aerospace is basically just ME, with more of a focus on fluid and orbital dynamics and control theory. I'm taking physics major on type because I just like physics.
