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 […]
Perhaps my generation is a little different… OK, it is different. Where most of today’s young people have grown up with technology readily available, I grew up as technology grew up. Atari, anyone? Duck Hunt? This may seem a little strange to write about, but just bear with me here and you’ll see the point […]
Hamilton fans will be all too familiar with Eliza Schuylers’s husband who simply had to get his plan through congress. Though few of us will be whittling away our hours writing fifty-one Federalist Papers, student life can do a decent job of putting that “non-stop” mentality in our heads.

The past couple of weeks have flown in, with classes gearing up to coursework due dates and a few sociable nights- including a three-day 21st birthday celebration.

A month ago when most other people where busy packing bags, trying to set everything and saying goodbyes to their families, I was doing nothing but sitting and staring at the walls. There was some complication with my visa process therefore I had to stay back home for a while. I had heard so much about the […]
“Hi, what’s your name? What are you studying?” As someone who is staying at home for university, my main concern was making friends. People who stay in halls are almost guaranteed an immediate social circle to call themselves a member of: a group of strangers are thrown into a flat together, and told to survive. […]
After settling down in Dundee, the first thing I was told to do was to make friends! “Go make friends!” they say, but little do they know that it’s one of the hardest thing ever! Studies have found out that people who feel they are lonely tend to only notice extroverted people who seem to […]
This weekend we had one of our annual open days, which saw thousands of you from across the country and beyond, come visit our beautiful campus! So in true blogger spirit, I headed down there to find out (for those of you who didn’t make it) the top ten reasons to make sure you don’t […]
