Mount Etna 1991-1993 - Volcanic Eruption Case Study
This is a good basis to use as a Case Study if you're just starting out with Volcanoes. This was one we created at the start of my A-Level Geography course. It is in no way intended for someone who is second year A-Level, etc, as it is only an introduction to some terms and is meant to give ideas on how to potentially structure a Case Study.

A New Hobby In Lockdown
Like many people, the lockdown means that I have been stuck inside the house, for the best part of a year now. At the beginning of the dreaded pandemic, I lost my job because I worked for a small company, who couldn't afford to survive anymore - they were having money issues way before the virus. I was jobless, homeless and had to move back in with my dad. Which I saw as a massive failure, because I never wanted to move back in with my parents. Sadly, my mum died in 2018, otherwise I would've lived with her instead. As many of us have, I've been really struggling with my mental health all through lockdown. I've had depression and anxiety for years, but this past year has really heightened that.I hate being stuck inside at the best of times, but when you're actually being forced into it? My idea of absolute hell.

Open Letters to My Mama - Letter Four
Dear Mama, I’ll be honest, I wasn’t sure what to write for this one. I’ve focused on how inspiring you are, how you don’t give yourself enough credit, your overwhelming talent and how beautiful you are. I know you’ve not read them, or if you have, then you’ve kept quiet about it. I know that my writing isn’t great and I can never get my point across properly, because I’m rubbish with emotions. I wanted to write you these so that you knew someone is on your side. That there is always someone here who loves you unconditionally and will always have your back. But deep down, I know that I’m not your blood, and honestly, I’m probably just in your way most of the time.

Open Letters to My Mama – Letter Three
Dear Mama, Okay, so you KNEW this one was coming. How could I not talk about your talent?! You’ve got more talent in your little finger, than most people I know put together. You ace your fucking job, every single time, you can sing (yes, yes you can), you nail being a mum, you have a talent for being able to cheer anyone up; no matter what’s wrong. AND - and this could be the most important - your Pesto Pasta is the best I’ve ever tasted. True story.

Open Letters to My Mama - Letter Two
Dear Mama, So, here we are. My second letter, not that you’ve probably even read the first one. I know you’re busy and have a lot on, so reading this is probably very low on your to-do list. But anyway, here we are with the second one regardless. Clearly the first one didn’t work, because you’re still insulting yourself about the way you look (which is pissing me off, but I know that’s not going to change over-night). So, what to tackle this time? There is always so much that I want to say to you, but when I write, my mind goes blank. That’s probably a huge reflection of my anxiety and not liking the whole ‘share feelings’ thing. But I shall push through my own shit, and rant about how incredibly inspirational you are.

Open Letters to My Mama – Letter One
Earlier this year, I wrote my Mama a letter. I miss letters. I think they’re a skill that we are losing, and I think that’s sad. Letters are personal and let you say things that you can’t in a text, or even over the phone. My Mama is the most beautiful woman I know and she’s amazing, but she has no self-confidence and doesn’t realise how wonderful she really is. So, I’m writing this open letter, so the world has access to seeing just how much she means to me.
