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 […]
Sorry if your field trips as a kid weren’t as life changing as mine. Okay, maybe not life changing, but they may have been what I looked forward to more than anything! Wait, actually I think it was birthday parties, but field trips were a close second… As a kid I clearly remember field trips to […]
Well, examinations for most courses are just around the corner; and that means it’s time to burn the midnight oil to start catching up with the all the lectures you would have missed, thought wasn’t “important” or just told yourself that you will get to it later (which we all know you just didn’t want […]

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 […]
Hamilton fans will be all too familiar with Eliza Schuylers’s husband who simply had to get his plan through congress.

I thought it would be interesting for people to see what University of Dundee students do in their day to day lives, so here’s day in my life. I woke up at 7:50am got ready and left the house. I grabbed a tea and a steak bake on my way to DJCAD because, frankly, […]
