I have just recently finished my second year, with results made available last week I can happily say second year has had a great ending.

After gallivanting between France and Holland and being caught up on uni work for once, I decided to take a trip home (my second home with my sister down south) for a couple of weeks – plus I was getting kind of homesick, I’m not ashamed to admit. It’s strange, for the first time in […]

I’ve been back for less than three weeks now and term has just kicked off. If I’m honest, I found it incredibly difficult to settle in to uni this term and the thought of my dissertation looming over me has been unsettling to say the least. I’m not really sure why, perhaps the whole ‘change’ […]

I’m just about to enter my third year of university (dun dun dun) and strangely enough I’m not nervous. There feels like a bizarre prerequisite for students to be panicked in their last years of uni but I’m not feeling the stress yet.
