Opting to take a long, generally social-media free recovery period after my last exam, I am feeling far more refreshed and ready to reflect about my entire university experience.

So whilst everyone is finishing up their exams, I thought I’d write a post about feedback and the importance of getting it whenever you accomplish a task. Finishing a piece of work, an interview, an exam, brings with it so much relief and joy that it is near impossible to find the urge […]

This week’s post is going to focus on all the lovely things I am looking forward to once exam season is over. We all have those objects that we regard as lights at the end of the tunnel – things that motivate us to push through those endless groups of notes and cuecards – and […]

So outside of my degree, my dissertation and my love of films and all things screen, I am a huge fan of theatre productions. A few days ago, I had the pleasure of queueing for five hours from 6am (yep.) to obtain a day ticket for Almeida Theatre’s 2017 production of Hamlet. […]

So, this post was definitely not written to trigger fear. It was mainly inspired by the fact that my brain is rarely occupied by anything else nowadays!
