A few weeks ago I wrote a blog post about using your voice to take a stand for what you believe in. This post is inspired by Angela Muruli, a blogger, advocate for Forward UK (Foundation for Women’s Health Research and Development) and a good friend of mine. She is currently using her voice and position […]

By now, I’m sure you’re all used to my blog ramblings about my ‘adventures’ as a student; rugby, maths, inability to be a proper adult and such… This time, however, I want to have more of a serious chat. This week is Mental Health Awareness Week, and mental health is something that needs talking about, […]

Originally I had intended this post to be some advice for the exams, but it turned very quickly into this. So, for a bit of light-hearted relief during the exam season, here is “A Day in the Life- Revising for a Maths Exam.”

Happy 2015! New year, new start, and a new blogger for the maths department. I’m Jess, and as my profile will tell you, I’m a final year BSc Mathematics student, taking on the task of blogging as I head into the last few months of my degree. Scary thought…

So tomorrow marks the beginning of Week 7 – aaaahh! Where has the semester gone?! It’s that time of the semester again: just past halfway with lots of work to complete and deadlines in sight.

Just flipped my calendar over which can only mean one thing: the countdown to Freshers has begun. With 28 days to go until the new academic year starts, it’s time once again for me to get my ‘Things to take to Uni’ list out and start gathering all the student essentials. If you are a […]
