Like most people, I get a bit fed up around this time of year. My heart might be yelling “Christmas!” but my head is definitely saying “cold/wet/windy/dark”.

So I’m sure you’re sick to death of “what to take to uni” lists, so I’m gonna give you something different. What to wear to uni. Now I am a huge fan of everybody wearing exactly what they want to wear, regardless of their gender, age or size, so don’t expect me to be policing […]
