The Canary Islands

Share definition
One of the best islands in the world.
They're owned by Spain, and they're definitively somewhere to go if you wanna go to the beach every day
There's around 7 to 8 of them, and the biggest one is Tenerife!

Unfortunately during Summer prices to go there are high since demand, so try going in autumn or spring since most of the year it's mostly just summer!
(No, seasons don't really exist there)
Person 1: "Dude, I went to the Canary Islands in winter!"

Person 2: "And? How was it?"

Person 1: "It felt like I was back in summer! The beach was awesome and the rock beaches were the best!"

Its animals consist of many species of fish and have a lot of penguins who come to visit the island which are from the Antarctic, as said earlier whales are also were a main part to the island in the 1900's and also have a large amount of insects that inhabit the island

The average temperature is about 1.7 degrees Celsius and snows from June to November.

Defined - A series of collages pretending to be a University in the North of Scotland. UHI as its also known as a last resort on a UCAS application form and possibly one of the least prestigious universities on the planet. The university is best known for being the dullest university in Britain and inept media studies courses where all the students fail.

The student association is almost non existent and the majority of students there are too dumb to get in anywhere else.
