Like a lot of university students, I spend A LOT of time in the library either revising, writing essays or even just searching the shelves for books which might help me! I always spent a lot of time in my school library during sixth form doing work during my free periods, but the library at […]

As I have no exams this year, only (lol) essays and a dissertation due in, I finish the university year really early on the 8th May. This seems crazy to me as it’s only eighteen days away… but I’m really looking forward to the lack of stress and pressure when I’m done. As I’m in […]

In light of Mental Health Awareness day the other day, I thought it could be helpful to write a little about mental health and its relation to uni life, as this is a time for many people when they can see their mental health and general sense of well-being deteriorate to some extent. An NUS […]

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope the first few days of 2017 have been treating you well. As I sit in the Students’ Union writing this blog between finishing assignments it’s hard to believe that this time a year ago I was exploring Texas with my parents as part of my year abroad. Although, obviously, […]

Second year is well under-way and it has now hit me like a tonne of bricks. As much as I am enjoying my course and second year in general, my time management and balancing skills are really being tested. Whilst not being the most disorganised person I know, organisation and time management have never been […]

Having spent quite a hefty amount of money during first year (“no ragrets”), it’s finally sunk in that I should probably be getting some kind of part time job during second year to fund my (not so) lavish student lifestyle. It’s also been playing on my mind that I should also really be saving for […]

Hey y’all. So pretty much everyone has got their results back now and I hope that you got the results you deserved! It’s hard to avoid Facebook statuses confirming everyone’s final degree mark (guilty as charged) but it’s a time to celebrate whatever mark or whatever honour you get as you’ve now completed university! In […]

Hey y’all. In the last few weeks I’ve seen mobs of people all in their graduation gear wandering around Uni. It’s scary to think that this will be me in a few months as my third year enters its entering its last stages. Recently I visited some friends in Kent and the droves and droves […]

Hey y’all. I’ve handed in my essay, done my dissertation presentation and now I’m preparing for the new semester. It’s fair to say I’ve had a couple days off and FIFA has been heavily exploited but now it’s time to start thinking about the next few months. I’m doing a Gothic Film module and a […]

Hey y’all. So my dissertation has kicked off. I’ve chosen a question, found some things to read and a plan is slowly coming together. Thankfully I’ve been able to worm my way in to doing a question on Breaking Bad. Which, I might add, is by far the best TV programme. I don’t care if […]
