So my fourth and final Freshers Week wasn’t exactly wild. It featured a lot of shifts in work, one night of Ring of Fire, one day of recovering from said Ring of Fire, one trip to the Freshers Fair and an obscene amount of binge-watching Married At First Sight USA (which I would definitely recommend […]
Oor Wullie! Your Wullie! A’Body’s Wullie! And for the summer, he was indeed. Over the course of July and August, Dundonians bore witness to their beloved cartoon laddie – Oor Wullie (or “Our William” if you’re from the Ferry) incarnate as fifty-five sculptures painted in bright colours and scattered around the city. This was “The […]
After a gruelling 17 hour flight which included an aggravating 6-hour layover at Doha, Qatar and an hour long drive from Edinburgh – I finally reached Dundee! The smell of manure and fresh cut fields welcomed me into Dundee as we drove in, a smell so indicative of Scotland’s rich agricultural heritage. Soon after getting […]
Hey there! It is already halfway through Freshers week! As a fresher I must say it has been an amazing week so far. I have been fortunate enough to meet so many lovely people through – my course, Christian Union and general socialising. In between binging on Netflix whilst in my flat and skyping my […]

Saturday the 31st of August 2013 was the day I made The Big Move- a day which many of you may be experiencing this weekend. I actually don’t remember much from the actual day which is a little sad as it’s probably one of the most important days of my life so far. I do […]
Hey there! My name is Natasha and I am studying Primary Teaching at the University of Dundee. Today is my first day living in my new flat, in a new city, surrounded by new people. Last night I drove from my home town up to Dundee with my lovely big sister having had to say […]
Hello, Scotland! It has been a whirlwind five days since landing at the airport in Edinburgh, chalk full of massive jet lag, slightly manic-styled over-tiredness, errands, errands, and oh! more errands! And a wee bit of playing tourist. It’s easy to get wrapped up in getting our things together, especially for international students having to […]
The time has almost come where you now just have less than 3 weeks before you start this new journey in university. I remember this time last year I had a million thoughts going through my mind from excitement of beginning a new phase in my life, to being scared and a little sad to […]
