SANCHIA CARLOS

Height: 5'8
Star sign: Leo
On the stereo: Ibiza Club Hits Volume 2
On the back: my fave low-cut clubbing top (not a lot)
On the lash: nothing like a Foster's Ice
On the plate: can't beat fish and chips
On the road: a cool little Capri (one day she'll have one)
Smokes: only when I'm out (in denial!)
On holiday: I've always wanted to see Australia
On the doormat: Mixmag
Part-time job: organised a speed dating night at the Union and made a mint and sell some jewellery to friends
Her take on the year: It's been ace. I've had loads of fun, spent and made lots of cash, and bonded with all kinds of people.
What's your favourite part of uni life? The eclectic mix of people.
And the worst? The amount of work - I thought uni was meant to be a doss!
What have you missed most? My three sisters - like mad. It's weird: when you live at home you can't wait to get away, but as soon as you're gone, you miss them with a passion.
What has been the greatest surprise? That people actually want to buy my jewellery! A lot of my sales are presents for other people, and I've managed to cash in on events like Mother's Day and Valentine's, making heart-shaped bracelets and necklaces for the occasion.
How have you coped with money? My little business has kept me afloat, though to be honest I've splashed out a lot too. I reckon I'm about level for this year - no profit, no loss, which is amazing considering how many people are in debt.
Top financial tip? Take advantage of every opportunity which comes your way. Be good to your mates. Work together. Look after them and they'll look after you.
