Hi there! Yesterday was a great day to be an exchange student at University of Dundee. As mentioned in an earlier post, one of the perks of being in Dundee, is that it’s close to everything. Christmas does something to me, and so far I’ve been to four Christmas markets in November. First one in […]
So the weather doesn’t really know what it’s doing, it was pretty cold last week and a lot warmer this week. But that’s okay because do I really know what I’m doing either? I feel you, weather. I feel you. Just kidding! I think. I totally know what I’m doing. Right? Seems to be a […]
Last Thursday the second year fine art students had a get together in the level 2 studio corridors to show off what they had achieved so far this semester. The corridor was converted into a gallery complete with drinks, snacks and posters around DJCAD inviting others to come and see the work produced so far. […]
Wow! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen myself here writing to you. Meanwhile, I’ve kept quite busy. In my Master’s program, I typically have 2 classes per week which are 3 hours each. That leaves me a lot of free time which I was pretty scared I would waste. Luckily, I have learned […]

Thought I would give you all an insight into what a typical day is like for me in my final year of my English degree. This semester, Fridays are my busiest days with five hours of classes. I actually only have one other hour a week on a Monday but thankfully this means I have […]
Obviously I’m no expert on this, but I figured I’d share with you a few things I’ve found useful when studying. If you have any advice to share please do so down below as different methods work for different people. Personally I like to print out reading or use a physical book. For some people physically […]
I love autumn, its the perfect time to cosy up and read with hot chocolate in hand and maybe a cinnamon swirl to top it off! The changing of the leaves, the warm clothes and the fact that christmas is just around the corner are just some of the reasons why I love autumn. However […]
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. Nearly a fortnight ago, the Humanities Society here at UoD played host to a Family Ties event where a couple of Third or Fourth Year students acted as […]
