Tips on how to survive exam period
Now that essay deadlines have past (well perhaps not for everyone but I know third years have just submitted their essays for Modern Social Theory, well done guys!) it is, sadly, time to concentrate on our January exams (how is it that time again already?!). Through my three years studying here I have consistently achieved […]

And so exams return…
Exams are coming up (she says with as much enthusiasm as possible…) so it’s time to fill up the freezers with ready meals and begin the all nighters right? No. I mean yes exams are coming up but, in my opinion, staying up until ridiculous hours trying to study and living off of junk food […]
