Year One has comes to an end! In all honesty, I’m gutted! I’ve loved first year and have enjoyed everything that it has taught me. Whether this is moving into my first “flat”, living on my own or just exploring a new city; it has all been amazing! As many students will be going into […]

University open day season is upon us, so I thought I would share some of the important things to look for on a university open day. First and foremost is your academic department. You are going to be spending the next three (or more) years in your academic department at least 5 days a […]

There have been many instances when archaeology has taken my breath away and left me feeling emotional but privileged to have the enthusiasm for a subject that can engender such feelings. I remember queuing for hours to see the Staffordshire hoard when it was first displayed and my feelings on entering Emperor Diocletian’s palace at Split in Croatia or […]

Saturday night brought an amazing experience in my new life in Malta, it was the first Erasmus Student Network (ESN) social of the academic year and what a way to start my new Erasmus year abroad by celebrating in style at a boat party! Before even moving into my accommodation I threw myself into the […]

As I’ve previously mentioned in my ‘First Aid’ post, I am the Secretary for the First Aid society. Now the term secretary encompasses a lot of ideas about what one actually does as a secretary. But I am a secretary for a university society and not one in the working world. However, the name does […]
