You know you’re an adult when your best friend gets excited about the fact you bought her a blender, of all things, for her 21st. You also know you’re an adult when you manage to submit your dissertation a full ten days before the deadline. Not to boast, but I’ve been working on this […]

Well it’s about a week later and my life is exactly the same – dissertation, job applications, and revision. But hark! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I could feasibly hand in my dissertation before the end of next week! Now wouldn’t that be a turn out for the books. […]

Christmas is really a time of year where nothing appeals more than sitting under a blanket filling your body with chocolate. But why not do that whilst also catching up on seminar reading?!?! Working over Christmas is horrible, but it’s something you have to do. Even if you have no January exams, going over […]

So third year has turned out to be as stressful as everybody says it is. Don’t get me wrong – I’m still having a fantastic time, but I am having to constantly make sure that I stay on top of things. So I’ve decided to treat myself to a mini break. And no, this is […]

My first fortnight of December was uncharacteristically busy and probably a lot more interesting than my usual university routine. This is because I spent the majority of it juggling a placement at the University’s Press Office with completing my end-of-term assignments. And do you know what? I wasn’t even that stressed!
