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 […]

Since coming back from Germany I have definitely felt more motivated and focused on my final year. I’ve put a lot of hard work into all of my pieces of coursework this year, really trying to understand the literature and hoping this shows in my work. I have found that I have more of an […]

After almost a week at home for Easter it’s time for me to head back to Leicester. I’d love to be able to spend more time at home, but unfortunately I don’t seem to be able to get much work done back in Nottingham. I guess this is for the following reasons: 1) The library […]

After a very busy time getting all of my deadlines in for the end of term, I allowed myself to enjoy the long Easter weekend, staying away from the library and enjoying myself. It was bliss! One new thing that I did was visit Thornton Reservoir, to watch the sunset over the water. As […]

A couple of weeks ago my Mum celebrated her 50th birthday. Anyone who knows my lovely Mum will agree that she doesn’t look 50 at all! She spent her birthday on a cruise around the Bahamas having the time of her life, whilst I was spending my days in the library (life is cruel). […]

Thankfully, today is a day that only happens once every four years- February the 29th! As a final year student, the leap year came at a good time. I know that sounds ridiculous as it’s only an extra day, but I’m viewing that extra day as a head start on coursework. Now, onto March… […]

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 […]
