Personal Statement Undergraduate

[Maddie1609]

I'm applying for joint honor course in Mathematics and Physics and single honor course in Theoretical Physics at universities in the UK. I am struggling with putting into words what I enjoy about physics and mathematics in my personal statement. I have the other paragraphs in place (I think), it's just difficult explaining what areas I enjoy and why I enjoy them. If someone could please help me form these bulletpoints into cohesive sentences I would very very very much appreciate it

• I like the challenges they offer
• Physics gives me insight into the workings of our universe
• I like the 'mystery' and 'unknown' (the idea of working to solve things we don't yet know)
• I am intrigued by quantum mechanics in particular
• I want to work on a unified field theory in the future
• I love the elegance and beauty in mathematics (simple proofs)
• It's inspiring how mathematics is built up of axioms and postulates
• How we can use mathematics to solve real life problems
• Fascinating how mathematics seemingly underpins every aspect of the universe

I just can't seem to get a good flow or a nice transition between the to subjects. I would be forever indebted if someone would write 1-2 paragraphs for me as to get at least an idea of what I can write

EDIT: I dit it! Something just clicked and I managed to finish my personal statemenet, and I am very pleased with it if I might say so myself

This probably does not address your question directly, but please take a look at this post, and especially the link that I gave out of The Guardian. Since you are in the UK, this definitely applies to you. Pay attention on the advice to make it more specific.
