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. I hate to rub it in and all that but my exams have finished! When I say exams I only mean one. One, three hour exam about Screen Gothic. I never thought I’d be studying something so obscure at the beginning of my degree but there we go. Alas, it doesn’t really feel […]

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. Those of you that stereotype golf as an ‘expensive walk in the countryside’ should watch today’s actions (or at least the […]

Hey y’all. So over the last two nights I’ve watched two cracking television documentaries. One from my main man Louis Theroux and another from the old school Sir Trevor McDonald. Louis focused on mental illness in America and Trevor spent three months with some of the most notorious mafioso in American history. Both of them […]

Hey y’all. In past month or two there have been several prestigious occasions where celebrities have spoke about pressing societal issues, Civil rights being one of the most frequently talked topics. I think it’s important that high status celebrities voice the concerns of the public as they have a bigger platform to do so. People […]

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. I find myself knee deep in revision and essay writing so I haven’t really got that much to share with you. I’m not sure what I prefer really… An exam or an essay….This essay about protests in African-American Civil Rights hasn’t actually been that bad but I am not looking forward to next […]

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 […]
