How to be vegan on a student budget
Since I’ve begun telling people I’m vegan, aside from the obvious ‘What do you eat?’ question the thing I’m most frequently asked is ‘How do you afford that on a student budget?’. It’s not a surprise after all, when a small block of red Leicester style ‘Gary’ (a joke name for vegan cheese) will set […]
Burnout
As the American Studies blogger, it’s easy to see how the past ten days since the inauguration of Donald Trump could have provided me with ample writing opportunities. Whether it be his dismissal of his acting Attorney General for refusing to comply with his orders or his travel ban on citizens of certain, predominately Muslim, […]
The Student Diet
As I’m bogged down with deadlines and Christmas meals, I thought I would do something a little different for this next blog post and share with you a cheap, easy, and filling recipe that will warm the cockles of your heart this winter.

Post-Uni Life
Hey y’all. Sorry it’s been a while. The job search is going slow to say the least so I thought I would give an insight to some of the activities that a student could be doing after their exams. It’s seen as the most middle class, elitist, non-studenty sport but golf has become a prominent […]
The Masters
Hey y’all. Today is the last day of The Masters golf tournament in Augusta, Georgia. It’s the most prestigious golf tournament in the world and it’s sure to be a cracking day of golf.
