Now that semester 2 has come to an end I thought it would be worth while to see some more of Scotland and have a little break over the weekend before diving head-first into revision. I hopped on the train from Dundee to Edinburgh Waverley, of which the journey is approximately an hour and a half, […]
I believe university is a wonderful place to explore new ideas and challenge existing ones and my friend Hope Carolan, a DJCAD student, did exactly that recently by initiating a gathering outside of Caird Hall for the support of the UN conference for nuclear disarmament. Hope and thirteen others took to the streets adorned with paper […]
… find yourself a sunny weekend, some good friends and a car. This weekend, I finally got to experience some of Scotland’s most beautiful places. I had some friends visiting from home, so we decided to rent a car for a couple of days and drive to a some of the must see-places here north. […]
Castles! Who doesn’t love a castle? There’s so much history (skilled laborers, servants, nobility, events, and all of those stories entwined) involved that it makes my little history-loving heart go all aflutter. Seriously, it is really cool to live in an area that has over 30 castles in a 30-mile radius, quite a few which […]
Happy International Women’s Day! Today is all about celebrating diverse, inspirational, opinionated, talented and all-round amazing women- as well as hopefully encouraging people to get involved in the Feminist movement (in whatever way that may be). I thought it would be appropriate to write a post on why Dundee, and UoD, is a great place […]
2017 has been running full speed ahead and let me tell you, I am on its heals. And I love it. At Dundee University, every day is a little different. A bit of this and a bit of that, and a lot of this and a lot of that. There is so much to do […]
These are my people. Team Sustainability forever! Wait…no, I mean lifelong friends, not lifelong students. Please. Part of the MSc Sustainability program is a core module called Research Training and Project Planning. For Dr. Mark Cutler and Dr. Ioan Fazey, we proposed and created a research proposal as practice for our dissertation. Our class split into […]
How to sit in and study when the weather is as nice as it’s been lately? No idea. Can’t do it. A friend and I decided to take our bikes (thanks Martin) and go exploring in the areas around Dundee. After a quick look at the map we decided on Arbroath just about 19 miles […]
Can we talk about mall cops for a second? Is their job so exclusive that they’re the only ones who get segways? I mean, comparatively, students put on as many or even more miles in a day doing our job than mall cops do. You see, if we could spend less time walking to and from campus […]
Hi there! I’ve had a few friends visiting from back home this last week and I was so pleased to see that the sun greeted them for a couple of days while they were here. It’s February, it’s winter, and naturally they were expecting some minus degree-numbers on the Snapchat-filter, but February in Dundee surprisingly […]
