Starting uni can be a exciting but also a bit scary and it’s totally normal to feel nervous at the start. But for some people there more to how they are feeling than just freshers butterflies.

I don’t know about you, but it’s getting pretty chilly outside. It’s easy to forget how quickly winter is catching up. In fact, I only took notice when I realised how many jumpers I was willing to put on last Monday morning! With that time of the year on the horizon, it’s fairly […]

I have officially finished my degree (providing I pass, of course) and to be honest nearly two weeks later it still hasn’t quite sunk in. It’s a strange feeling not having to go to the library every day and at times I have felt a little lost. But of course it has been lovely; I […]

I don’t know how many people follow Humans of New York on social media, but those who don’t should. HONY tells stories of the people on the streets of NYC, with a picture to go with each story. Sometimes the pictures show the person who’s story is being told, other times the person will remain […]

As you can imagine, at present life isn’t the most interesting. The highlight of my day is normally packing up my work after a morning at the library and heading to the gym for a change of scenery, before heading back to the library for an afternoon session. My housemates and I wanted to give […]

This title is written in a literal sense; I have physically been dancing towards by coursework deadlines. Well, sort of. Deadlines seem to be growing ever closer and I am spending any spare time that I have in the library. Part of my busy schedule is due to Tuesday and Thursday night’s being spent in […]

On the 4th of February it was World Cancer Day. Now, it goes without saying that all of us have been affected by cancer in some way, especially with it being one of the leading causes of deaths in the UK, after heart disease. It is a devastating disease, but as we learn more about […]

I am writing this from the comfort of my bed, wearing four layers of clothing and wrapped in my duvet. Unfortunately for me, tonsillitis has hit again. It has come at a pretty bad time as I have an essay due on Wednesday and have spent the majority of the past 5 days sleeping/ taking […]

My hobby as a child was dancing, a hobby which took up a fair amount of my spare time. I would spend up to 9 hours a week at dancing, with every Saturday spent at the dance school. I owe a lot to dancing; my organisation, impeccable time-keeping and ability to work in a group are […]
