I graduated from Avondale College of Higher Education in 2016 with a Bachelor of Business (Marketing) and a Bachelor if Arts (Communications). I absolutely loved my time at Avondale, the best four years of my life so far! The best part is the community of young Christians all getting together to make new friends and learn new things.

The only positive were the staff who taught me my electives. They were supportive.
For the record I am not a sore ex-student trying to get back a uni for poor grades. I passed most subjects with...
Read moreThe free pen I received here is exceptional, much longer than the average pen and therefore it fits my hands nicely. Unfortunately, the pen has run out of ink and I am unable to make it back to the campus for the foreseeable future. I have tried other pens since but nothing can compare, I am distraught that such a beloved pen could be taken from me in such a manor. If only it could have had the hero's death it deserved, falling in honour on the battlefield or classroom.
So yeah if you are still producing the long pens a reply would be...
