Posted by Enna in Psychology on November 1, 2018

So, in October, I celebrated my 21st birthday, and as tradition, I wrote out a list of 21 things I’ve learnt in those years of living. I thought it may be a good idea to write another list…but University style, as there’s so much I’ve learnt from the past year and a half of attending […]

Setting Goals

Posted by Enna in Psychology on September 11, 2018

“Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.” – Tony Robbins Before I start anything new – be it a new job, or a new hobby, I always start off by setting myself some goals. Why? Because it’s always good to have something to work towards. Even if […]

Productive Library Sesh

Posted by Tasmin in Psychology on November 14, 2016

Now one thing I’ll never understand is people who spend days on end in the library achieving minimal amounts, why drag yourself to the library to write 2 paragraphs in 7 hours? I can only put this kind of procrastination down to inefficient use of library time and major distractions. Personally if I’m heading to the library it’s […]

Keeping Organised

Posted by Tasmin in Psychology on October 9, 2016

University life can often prove hectic with socials, revision and lectures all eating into your schedule. I personally feel like I can’t keep up with it all unless I’m militantly organised, so here are a few ways I keep myself together. Coloured folders – For all you mac users out there, I’ve discovered a revolutionary folder […]

It’s all over…

Posted by Emily W in Psychology on June 5, 2016

I finished my degree last week- last Saturday to be precise. It’s taken me nearly a week to write this because I’m still in denial. Even seeing the words written down doesn’t make it seem real. It seems like only yesterday that I was having a meltdown about the fact that I didn’t have […]

Taking stock after exam results

Posted by Emily W in Psychology on February 27, 2016

My January exam results came out on February 10th but I know that some subjects have only very recently received theirs, so I think what I’m about to say is relevant to many. I’m not going to lie, but I wasn’t expecting great things from my PS3002: Brain and Cognition exam (I wrote about […]

My Last Exam: PS3010

Posted by Alice in Psychology on June 2, 2015

Yesterday I wrote my last ever exam as a university undergraduate. Not gonna lie, I’m not feeling very nostalgic at the moment, I doubt I’m gonna miss the 10+h marathons in the library or the anxiety before going in. But I will miss university as an opportunity to learn! Take yesterday’s exam for example, PS3010. […]

Anti-Stress Programme

Posted by Alice in Psychology on May 19, 2015

I’ve left quite some time pass since my last blog post! The truth is that I’ve been revising nonstop for days, and there isn’t much to talk about when you spend 10+ hours in the library! But I just found out something amazing… the university has launched a stress-fighting programme to help students deal with […]
