One World to Rule Them All
I remember first stumbling across the fantastical works of Tolkien when I was 8 years old. While other children in my class were reading the latest Jacqueline Wilson novels, I was riding through the plains of Rohan with the Rohirrim, I was defending the walls of Minas Tirith, I was part of the strongest fellowship ever created and I walked with them every step from the green meadows of Hobbiton, to the fiery slopes of Mount Doom.

(8)Cos these are the best days of my life (8)
Before we start... who remembers that (8) on MSN was the musical note? Just me? No? Good, Let's go! 2004- 2012 was the time when music really supported and guided me through what can be quite a tumultuous time for teenagers. This was a time when everyone had an iPod or a Sony Walkman phone and break times at school were filled with 'bluetooth me that song' or 'send it to me over messenger tonight' or for others, music was an opportunity to just be able to take a moment to lose yourself and break up the constant cacophany, that is secondary school and teenage life.

The Urbz: Sims in the City
One of the best memories of my Playstation 2, comes in the form of the Urbz. It's one of those games that not everyone had when it came out on a variety of games consoles in 2004, but everyone of a certain era definitely remembers this venture into the big city for our favourite Sims.

Top 11 Hamilton Moments
When Disney+ dropped earlier this year, people were exposed to such a plethora of new material that hadn't been accessible anywhere before. The best of which (in my opinion) was the Broadway recording of Lin-Manuel Miranda's phenomenal hit, Hamilton.
