21 Things I’ve Learnt At University
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 […]
Adjusting to University Life
So I have just finished up my third week of Second year and let me tell you something…I feel just as lost and confused as I did at the start of last year. With things like deadlines, trying to find a society to fit in with, and trying to keep up with the recommended reading […]
My Cruelty Free Journey
I’ve been a vegetarian for around two years now, and I always knew I’d go vegan (or at least attempt it) one day but I always thought it’d be after uni, because, you know, Dominos and limited money. However, my housemate has been a vegan for a while now and always says how easy it […]
Stamping out the stigma surrounding mental health!
I know it’s December tomorrow which means Christmas is coming and everyone wants to be jolly and festive, but today I’d like to talk about something very close to my heart: mental health issues and what we can all do to help get rid of the stigma surrounding them, (I promise my next post will […]
Food, glorious food
I miss proper food. Actually no, I miss proper vegetarian food. Don’t get me wrong, I knew being a vegetarian at an American Summer camp would be difficult, but I never thought it would be this hard! I’m constantly hungry as a lot of the time there’s only meat and salad so I’m living on […]
This is not hello
In August last year I wrote a blog post with the title “This is not goodbye“. In it I talked about my cancer diagnosis (I have mantle cell lymphoma) and that I’d decided to suspend my studies for a year to fight it off. Sadly, it was also written about a week before my mother […]
Getting My Gym Membership Back
Hello! I’m finally back in Leicester! My parents flew here with me and stayed for a couple of days, mainly to help me get rid of spiders around the house (I’m working on my fear, I swear) and so that they could eat fish&chips. I think it was worth it 😉 Now I’m trying to get […]
This is not goodbye
This isn’t a post I thought I’d be writing. Just over two months ago I noticed a small lump on the side of my jaw, near to where it joins the neck. (That might not be precisely right, but I never was very good at biology). It didn’t go away, so a couple of weeks […]
Gym: Health Check and Fitness Programme
Hello everyone, so a couple of days ago I flew back to Italy, where I’m gonna stay for a few weeks, only to come back in July if I get all the shifts I applied for as an Ambassador. Before I left, I made it a point to visit the Danielle Brown gym on campus. […]
