As I sit in the office during summer placement eating a tuna sandwich and sipping on a hot cup of coffee looking out at the bleak and drizzly August- yes August- sky, I had to remind myself (and all of you) that it’s not all doom and gloom. Yes- summer may be almost over, my tan may be […]
I’m English born and raised, from the county of Kent – often referred to as that bit under London. I left home to come to Dundee for my studies in Art at DJCAD, after completing my A-levels.

This week I have had two whole days off work which is a rarity these days and so I decided to make the most of it and be as productive as possible! My boyfriend and I compiled a list of things we want to do and places we want to eat at during the summer and throughout […]
Hey guys, my name is Simran and I am an international student who is a hybrid Indian by ethnicity but I grew up in the barren lands of the nomads- Oman. Now I am pretty sure most of you don’t know where Oman is, so let me give you a quick geography lesson. Oman is […]
