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 […]
Nestled near the southeast corner of the Cairngorms National Park and about an hour’s drive from Dundee you will find, what most would call, a gem. A massive, frosty, glistening, gem. They call it Glenshee Ski Centre …or as I would refer to it, That Place That Tested My Patience. When most people hear I am from […]
Hello again! Since my last post I have been pretty busy and there has been a lot going on. I had a great time at a 21st birthday party for a work friend and fellow Dundee Uni student and I also received an offer of acceptance onto the Postgrad Masters course I had applied for!! […]
As a student from Singapore, Chinese New Year is one thing we are used to celebrating every year. This 2 week long festive season is a fun filled time of eating and meeting new friends. In Singapore, Chinese New Year is always a big thing, you will see decorations everywhere: on the streets and in […]
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 […]
