As an international student, I can sometimes feel detached from my own culture, while being abroad and that is where the different cultural and national societies help a lot. During these few months I’ve been in Dundee, I never felt alone in another, unknown country, exactly because I have these international societies to help with […]
It’s always weird moving to a completely new place for even a week. You know what’s even more difficult? Moving to a whole new country on a completely different part of the world! This is my story of moving to Dundee and my first two weeks settling in! Airports have always had a tremendous dramatic effect […]
It’s a rough life, being a blogger. Well. Not really, but it’s tough when the internet shuts down for 10 seconds and your entry is deleted. All 500 words of it.Regardless of how many times you pressed ‘save draft’. It’s been a time, guys. I have anxiety. Issues. Quickly, apparently, accumulating more. You can add […]
This is a piece I wrote at the end of my first year: It is the 13th of May, 2017. This marks the 202nd day since I first stepped foot in Dundee. The journey was quite long: driving from my home in Lagos, Nigeria to the Muritala Mohammed Airport. I took a 6-hour flight on […]
In what feels like the blink of an eye, Freshers’ week has passed, and real university life has officially kicked off with days full of workshops and lab practicals. Here are some thoughts on the first week. I came to the university with no expectations, but to be fair I was a bit apprehensive about […]

My previous post was on de stressing tips, then I thought why not write on how to study better. I am no expert in excelling in tests or examinations, but I thought why not just share what I do, since it did get me here! Tip 1: What is important? Don’t expect to read everything on […]
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 […]
ATTN: Every single American to ever become a student of University of Dundee. And I’m only speaking exclusively to Americans because I barely know how the rules relate to my own country (hence the pickle I was in), much less how the rules relate to any other country. On September 13, 2016 I moved to […]
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 […]
