  • So You Haven’t Had The Best Start | New Year Pep Talk

    We’re over a week into 2018 already and from what I’ve seen across my social media, it’s been a bit of strange one for people. Some people out there are proper getting into their new years resolutions; they are making wonderfully positive changes to their lives and are totally smashing it. On the flip side Read more

  • Lessons Learnt From 2017 | Festive Thoughts #1

    This past year has been a mad one, don’t you think? I know how cliche it is to say this but it has honestly gone so fast – I don’t think I can even process the fact that 2017 is soon to be over! To be totally honest with you, this year has been full Read more

  • Dealing With A Bad Mental Health Day At Work

    For the past few months my mental health hasn’t been in the best of places.

    I know it’s so cliche to say, and I swear its something I say almost every post, but how fast is this year going? I can’t believe that we’re already in August. On a personal level, it’s insane to think that I have now been a graduate for almost a month! Anyway, it’s clear that Read more

  • Here’s What No One Tells You About Finishing University

    The time has finally come: I have finished my three year degree. I am no longer a student; I will no longer be attending university. Life has been pretty crazy for the past few months (read: past year) and I always imagined that as soon as university was over, my life would get back on Read more

  • Who Do You Want To Be?

    For some reason recently I’ve been all about self-reflection and just reflecting in general. Maybe it’s because spring is coming, and that’s all about fresh starts and new beginnings, or maybe it’s because I’m getting (scarily) near the end of my university degree so things are changing so fast for me and I have a Read more
