Revision, Revision, Revision
Posted by Beth in Biological Sciences on April 24, 2019

That’s what I seem to have been doing for the whole Christmas holidays so far! I don’t like revising at the best of times (who does?) but I have a particularly strong dislike for it during the festive period. There are so many things I’d rather be doing but unfortunately both of my exams are […]

Posted by Arllen in Biological Sciences on May 29, 2017
So whilst everyone is finishing up their exams, I thought I’d write a post about feedback and the importance of getting it whenever you accomplish a task. Finishing a piece of work, an interview, an exam, brings with it so much relief and joy that it is near impossible to find the urge […]

Two down; two more to go! I hope you are holding up well against this tide of revision, examination and television! I have to mention TV because I swear everything I watch are coming back at the same time i.e. now. As mentioned above, I managed to get through my first two examinations and […]

Posted by Arllen in Biological Sciences on May 13, 2017
This week’s post is going to focus on all the lovely things I am looking forward to once exam season is over. We all have those objects that we regard as lights at the end of the tunnel – things that motivate us to push through those endless groups of notes and cuecards – and […]

Hallmarks of a Final Year
Posted by Arllen in Biological Sciences on April 16, 2017
Happy Easter everybody! I hope you are all having fun eating lots of chocolate. If you’re like me and chose the sad option of continuing revision through this holiday weekend, make sure you have lots of nice food today, okay? So today I decided that I would create another one of my beloved […]

Weekend Recommendations: De-Stressful Films
Posted by Arllen in Biological Sciences on January 14, 2017
Exam time is upon us but as a third year, I have been given this one off! Whilst I’m sure I would have looked on these few weeks with excitement at the start of semester, I can honestly say that I am as busy as I would have been if I had been revising. Admittedly, […]
