    • @PhoebeJones
      @PhoebeJones  Pƙed 3 lety

      No I didn’t feel that much older, only strange when we spoke about GCSEs etc because I did A*-C and they mostly did 9-1s but tbh most people are a year older, I’d say about 60-40 split of non 18 to 18 year olds , so it’s really not that noticeable :)
