So the weather doesn’t really know what it’s doing, it was pretty cold last week and a lot warmer this week. But that’s okay because do I really know what I’m doing either? I feel you, weather. I feel you. Just kidding! I think. I totally know what I’m doing. Right? Seems to be a […]
Alright, so the end of the first semester and the end of the year are nigh, but you get my drift. Christmas is near; therefore, winter break is near! With the cooling temperatures, the “who turned out the lights?” darkness at 4pm, and finals coming up; do yourselves a favor and breathe! Walk away from […]
For those of you who read my last post, you’ll remember I spoke about how exercise is scientifically proven to help de-stress and increase brain productivity (pretty helpful around exam time). However it dawned on me that going to the gym might be a relatively new thing to some or might even be something you’ve never done before. […]
Hey there, Welcome to a new blog post! It is that time of year where it’s cold, dark and stressful. Exams, essays and assignments are looming and the only thing that seems to get people through is the thought of going home for Christmas. For the past week or so I have been transfixed on […]

But this happens to the best of us so don’t worry- it’s never […]
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.
