As a medical student, what better day to share about than the day we had our first formative assessment. To begin with, a formative assessment is a test which we sit for to test ourselves on how much we know and don’t know; it is not counted into our final grade, so it’s a conducive […]
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 […]
Obviously I’m no expert on this, but I figured I’d share with you a few things I’ve found useful when studying. If you have any advice to share please do so down below as different methods work for different people. Personally I like to print out reading or use a physical book. For some people physically […]
Something that never stops amazing me is the unlimited offers we gets as students in Dundee. I’m only staying in Dundee for 12 months, and therefore I’m searching for any opportunity to see the most of Scotland. One of the great advantages of staying in Dundee, is that it is close to everything. This Saturday […]
You step into October, onto the leaves and into the thin air. All of a sudden, you’re glad you brought your jacket. Hitting play on your music, you set off at a brisk march, mind musing over what mess you’ll be made to write today. Think something pretentious. It’s your only creative writing class of […]
Hey there, Welcome to a new blog post! I apologise for not posting last week. However, as indicated I took a break (mainly due to reading week), where I spent time at home and didn’t really focus too much on University work. I must say I thoroughly enjoyed my time at home and away from the […]
Perhaps my generation is a little different… OK, it is different. Where most of today’s young people have grown up with technology readily available, I grew up as technology grew up. Atari, anyone? Duck Hunt? This may seem a little strange to write about, but just bear with me here and you’ll see the point […]
Hamilton fans will be all too familiar with Eliza Schuylers’s husband who simply had to get his plan through congress. Though few of us will be whittling away our hours writing fifty-one Federalist Papers, student life can do a decent job of putting that “non-stop” mentality in our heads. Everyone has that week, or two, […]
As an International student, one the many problems you will face is home sickness! I come from Singapore, where the population density is slightly more than 7900 per square kilometre (that’s the third highest in the world) compared to UK which is only about 65 per square kilometre! As such, it was natural for me […]
Dear Dundee, You’re an onion. A big, fat onion with one hundred layers. And sometimes you make me cry, but I still like you. I judged you from the moment I met you. Like hard core totally unfair Simon Cowell type judgment. Earlier that day, your distant neighbor, Edinburgh, welcomed me down from […]
