Dear 2020, You were a pain. Plain and simple. You gave me mixed feelings since the moment you came in. I had hopes you’d bring much needed change in my life; and you did, just not the kind I was expecting. You took two really important people away from me, and now it’s your own […]
In the second part of the career series for law students, I want to talk about work experience. With the current climate it may feel at times that it is impossible to get any experience in the field of study you are interested in.

With most of my friends starting to go home now, I am reminded of my lack of fixed plans for the holidays. Although I haven’t been back home in a year, needing to stay in Dundee until the semester ends, expensive flights requiring at least one stop-off in an additional country, my skiing job being […]
This year I’m resitting 3rd-year architecture, which obviously wasn’t something I had planned to happen. When I found out I’d failed last year I was understandably devastated, but now it’s almost the end of the first semester, I can’t help but feel like maybe there are more good things to come out of it than […]

Arriving in a foreign country and having to immediately isolate yourself from the world is not ideal, but it is necessary in order to protect yourself and your fellow Dundonians! Staying in a room, alone, for 14 days might sound like a nightmare for some (or a blessing if you’re too anxious about university!), but […]
Have you ever wondered what a typical day of online university looks like for a fourth-year English & film Student at Dundee?
