As another January exam season comes to a close, I feel like it’s important to address an issue that is sometimes neglected, and that is ‘dealing with disappointment’.

As the temperature starts to drop and the sound of sniffling in lectures begins to rise, only one quote can come to mind; Winter is Coming (all credit to Jon Snow).

In my second year of uni I became a bit of a hermit at the David Wilson Library (or ‘libs’ as it will be called from now on). I was in there every week day and most weekends, 9am-5pm and then 7pm to 1am. It was undoubtedly hardwork, but since I am now going […]
