It’s a joyous and wondrous thing, watching first years leave their little alcohol-bottle nests and go home. Parents come in, hefting their hungover offspring into a small, too-full car and drive on their merry way. They’re done until the Autumn where they will be someone else’s problem, far, far away from me. Not us. We’re postgraduates! […]
Frustration is having an itch you can’t scratch. You know what I’m talking about – in my case, it’s art. I wanna do the thing, but I just can’t. The thing is broken. Maybe you write – you want to, but you just don’t know what to even start with. Sports is your thing, but […]
Protip: when booking a flight, make sure the dates are right. Protip 2: when dealing with airlines, never forget that they are pirates. Got that? Cool. Go to Amsterdam. Started off in Scotland and had to make it to Southend airport, almost missed our bus to London, got stopped at the gate while boarding (I […]
Let’s avoid homework, it’s more fun when due dates arrive. In December, I was lucky enough to have an old friend call me up and tell me to get my butt to Brussels. Did I? You bet. The farther away from highschool you get, the more you lose touch with people, but you get to […]
So you’re moving to a new place. Now what? Hint: You need things. A lot of things. Things you probably weren’t aware you were going to need. Things are expensive. Student life is great, but it isn’t always cheap or relatively affordable – especially if you want to eat something other than ramen a few […]
The adventures that start along the line of “let’s make a bad decision” usually end up as the best stories. Have you had those adventures? You need at least one. Start by taking a last minute trip, one you didn’t see coming – could be to anywhere. Down the street, next town over, next city, […]
If someone ever tells you that food is boring, slowly walk away. They can sense fear. Dundee offers a lot of different cuisine, but it’s taken me some adventuring around to find the stuff I really liked. When you move to a new country, it’s always the food that can make or break your experiences, […]
This semester has probably been one of the most difficult – and fun – university semesters of my life. The amount of work, I was not expecting, but I got through it! For the most part! I still have three exams left, after the first I took today (bones of the face and neck, woo!), two […]
I moved to Dundee from Canada- the exact specifics can be debated. The “where are you from” question is crazy to me, especially if you’ve lived transiently in the past. So, as is expected from wherever you come from, even if it’s just in town, the next town over, or another country altogether – you […]
