So far this year we have been blessed with some beautiful weather here in Dundee, so with the semester drawing to a close I’ve highlighted some places you can visit once those all-important exams are over and (hopefully) the sun is shining- after a celebratory drink and catching up on all that sleep, of course!

This dissertation has been my baby for the past year and now it has finally flown the nest! Yay! I have now completed the […]

On Monday evening my book history and publishing class took a trip to the University archives, located in the basement of Tower Building on campus. This was actually my first ever visit to the archives, although I know other subjects make much better use of the facilities offered there. I, for one, definitely wish I […]

Happy International Women’s Day! Today is all about celebrating diverse, inspirational, opinionated, talented and all-round amazing women- as well as hopefully encouraging people to get involved in the Feminist movement (in whatever way that may be). I thought it would be appropriate to write a post on why Dundee, and UoD, is a great place […]

Hello! Hope you are all now settled into the semester, I know I’m definitely getting there. This week’s focus for me has been working on my Postgrad application which is very scary stuff! Monday’s class was great- very informal three hour discussion on the authorship of texts and how the author’s reputation can impact […]

Happy New Year! I hope the festive break treated you all well, and you were able to enjoy some home comforts over the holidays- although, with it being over three years since I flew the nest, the couple of days I spent back home with family over Christmas were more than enough for me! (The […]

I’m done! Christmas break, here I come! Apologies to all of you who are still in the midst of the exam-time bubble, but with the first half of my final year finally at a close, I’m feeling pretty good! This semester I didn’t have any exams, in fact I haven’t for a while. My English degree […]

About an hour’s train journey away from Dundee, lies a small town called Pitlochry, home to a forest that for a whole month of every year for the past fifteen years turns into a magical light show. This year’s theme was ‘Shimmer’, featuring disco balls, flashing lights, beautiful music and a giant tree fairy. Tickets […]

Thought I would give you all an insight into what a typical day is like for me in my final year of my English degree. This semester, Fridays are my busiest days with five hours of classes. I actually only have one other hour a week on a Monday but thankfully this means I have […]
