Ach. Youth. Wasted on the young! Yes, I have regrets too... but remember, you were convinced that staying on at school was impossible, because you believed the most important teacher for your subjects hated you? Your convictions were unshakeable.
But, had you gone to university, you might well have then felt Obliged to follow an academic or business-career path, as that is what you'd have been steered towards. You would have agonised over 'wasting' your three years obtaining a university degree, by then applying to performing arts colleges country-wide.
You are STILL Oxbridge material, my darling girl. Your educational life thus far has taken an unconventional route, but you do have a VERY useful BTEC-and-a-half and an HND, and you are perfectly at liberty to do A-levels or just go straight to university as a full-time mature student. Or enrol with the Open University and get a degree that way. It can be done. You Have Permission!
