Yes folks, I knew that title would catch your attention. It’s true; at this point in time money does matter. Before I continue, I would like to emphasize money is not everything in life, living the moment and being able to be emotionally available and being able to love means much more than having a […]
International students, listen up! By this point in the semester you have probably become very familiar with your surroundings- our campus, the Perth Road, the Law. You may even have ventured to Broughty Ferry or St Andrews but now you want to know where to go next. From my experience of studying abroad, travelling was one […]
Hello! Hope you are all now settled into the semester, I know I’m definitely getting there. This week’s focus for me has been working on my Postgrad application which is very scary stuff! Monday’s class was great- very informal three hour discussion on the authorship of texts and how the author’s reputation can impact […]
Happy New Year! I hope the festive break treated you all well, and you were able to enjoy some home comforts over the holidays- although, with it being over three years since I flew the nest, the couple of days I spent back home with family over Christmas were more than enough for me! (The […]

I’m done! Christmas break, here I come! Apologies to all of you who are still in the midst of the exam-time bubble, but with the first half of my final year finally at a close, I’m feeling pretty good! This semester I didn’t have any exams, in fact I haven’t for a while. My English degree […]
Writing for a friend… Just kidding, I actually did do all this stuff. I’ll admit it. But I wasn’t as lucky as you to have someone writing a post about all the things you should and shouldn’t do while in Dundee to learn from. So, from here on out, if you happen to find […]
Sorry if your field trips as a kid weren’t as life changing as mine. Okay, maybe not life changing, but they may have been what I looked forward to more than anything! Wait, actually I think it was birthday parties, but field trips were a close second… As a kid I clearly remember field trips to […]
