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 […]
