Introducing: The 58 fresher personas you’ll encounter in September 2020
When Britney Spears wrote the laws of nature she said “there’s only two types of people in the world: the ones that entertain and the ones that observe.” And while I would never be one to disagree with Britney normally I have to say in the case of the thousands of bright-eyed bushy-tailed freshers heading off to uni in September there are, in fact, 58 types of people in the world.
