I can't believe I'm about to write this, but it has been a year since I graduated university. One year since I was finally free from a degree that I had worked my arse off for three years. If you're currently in the midst of your studies, I'm sure that you've dreamed about the situation [...]
It's that time of year again! Summer is almost over for those of you who are students and it's time to think about what's coming up next. I know for a lot of people, university will be at the forefront of your every thought at the moment. As someone who has literally been there, done [...]
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 [...]
There's been a lot of things going on recently in my life. From turning 21, to dealing with the last handful of university deadlines as well as the usual trying-to-keep-on-top-of-life stuff it's safe to say that things have taken a toll a little bit.

I know I said this in my last monthly post (read here) but it's just been another weird month. I think with the end of the year approaching, workload picking up and the general state of the world (*cough* Trump) it's understandable that a lot of us are feeling a bit shit right now. I'm, [...]
(This is a follow up post. You can read the other parts here and here to get the gist of the story) As with most things in my life, I like to ask for other people’s opinions. This is either to prove to myself that I’m not alone or just because I’m a curious person and I [...]
(This is a follow up post. You can read the first part here to get the gist of the story) I didn’t think I had a problem. Although it was something that had crossed my mind in the past, I had always dismissed it as I wasn’t one of those people. I do use the internet [...]
Being set the challenge of going 24 hours without the internet doesn’t sound like a big deal, if you say it quickly. The idea of going one day without checking your Facebook or scrolling through Instagram sounds pretty easy. It even sounds kind of liberating, don’t you think? I certainly did anyway. In fact prior [...]
Many of you will no doubt be heading off to university very soon (or you may even be there now, you lucky thing!) and as you're probably aware Freshers' Week is one of the most important dates on your academic calendar. Especially in your first year. It's your chance to settle into your new home, [...]
