Yes, I can imagine what you are probably thinking but don’t worry, this is not a beginners’ guide to sprinting. It is, however, a guide to one of those extracurricular activities I promised to blog about. Ladies and gentlemen, (well in this case ladies but you will understand why in a moment) […]

¡Hola! Yes, you guessed it right. I’m going to Spain and it’s going to be an incredible experience! Why am I so sure? Well, I can never be certain but I am currently preparing and planning for my year abroad which is why I thought it would be useful to give […]

My sister will be 24 in October, and for the first time she’s thinking about going to university. She wants to be a dietician. Knowing the nutritional value of foods is something of a hobby of hers. It’s a bit of a family joke recently that she’s gone barmy for avocados. This means we’ve been […]

When you first arrive at University fresh-faced and full of expectations for the next four years of your life, the end of your degree seems unimaginable.

Over the past few weeks I have been working hard on my placement report and 17 pages, 4000 words, 20 000 characters and goodness knows how many cups of tea later I AM DONE. As I opted for a teaching placement during my year abroad rather than an ERASMUS university placement, my year abroad is […]

Freshers. It’s a word you’ll grow tired of by the second week of term, yet you’ll use it right up until your last day as a first year student. Why? Because you’re only a true fresher once and it is the most surreal, unusual, brilliant thing! The first year of university is an adventure to put it lightly […]

I can hardly believe it’s August already, when did that happen?! One thing you’ll start to realise at uni is that time goes by far too quickly – it seems like only yesterday I was arriving at Beaumont Hall as a frightened fresher, nervously clutching my hefty Spanish dictionary, yet here I am going into […]

This blog post is my 60th and my last. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the last 2 years of blogging but as I’m going into my Final Year of studies in September, I thought I would retire now from the world of blogging. Re-reading some of my old posts has made me realise just how much has […]
