My time at the University of Dundee is unfortunately coming to an end, and it’s such a strange ending to my four years! I thought I’d make a little blog post to share some of my feelings about finishing uni, and hopefully others who are leaving this year will be able to relate. My last […]
Many of us will work at some point during university, whether it is because you need the money, for the work experience or a bit of both. I have worked quite a range of jobs myself since high school (herding cows or teaching kids biathlon anyone?), but with none of my qualifications from home being […]
I’ve just realised that I’ve never properly introduced myself to the blog!

What are studying at Dundee? I’m […]

Another year, another lockdown…and not much has changed. We’re all stuck at home with no responsibilities other than uni work but sometimes we’ve got to take a break. So here I am revealing what shows I’ve been watching when I’m procrastinating. Tiger King This is a wee throw back to the first Lockdown and I […]

Due to the First Minister’s advice that students should stay out and not return to their University cities, I’ve made the hard decision to give up my flat and complete my final semester of […]
For anyone who doesn’t know me, I love to read. I got back into the habit of regularly reading at the start of the first lockdown back in March and since then I’ve been reading a few books each month! I managed to read 52 books in 2020 which is the most I’ve ever read. […]
