Working While Studying
I’ve talked about my part time jobs on my blog several times before, and I firmly believe that the only reason I’ve been able secure a graduate job in the civil service is because of the transferable skills I’ve gained by working alongside my degree. So, for this week’s post, I thought I would talk […]
RESULTS
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!

Graduating
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 […]

One of the main reasons for doing it is to boost the old CV in the hope it will provide something different to the generic work experience that has been plaguing my CV for years. Volunteering […]

However, one of the last journeys I made was HOME FOR CHRISTMAS, and therefore I didn’t mind as much. Thankfully I […]
The ‘C’ Word
As students, we all know it. It is uttered in times of frustration, of desperation, and is best kept out of conversations with parents. Yep, the dreaded ‘career’ talk. I attended the careers fair the other week after having been fully prepped (i.e. told to shake hands “firmly” with employers to establish rapport – I […]
Wake Me Up When Semester 1 Ends
After nearly three weeks of lectures and working almost 20 hours a week, I must say I am shattered. I had been mentally preparing myself over summer for the shock of actually having to do things, but it’s still always an unwelcome feeling when your planner is full of red deadlines highlighted and circled repeatedly […]
