I cannot believe that, as I’m writing this, I have (hopefully) finished my first year of university! Time just flew by so fast, I feel like I had no chance to realise what was happening around me.

Notetaking is, depending on your persuasion, the best or the worst part of uni. There doesn’t seem to be an in-between, or anyone who feels that taking notes is just ‘meh’. It’s even worse when you’re doing a completely essay/writing based subject, such as law. I’m no professional studier, although I have been at it […]

It’s a joyous and wondrous thing, watching first years leave their little alcohol-bottle nests and go home.
