Frustration is having an itch you can’t scratch. You know what I’m talking about – in my case, it’s art. I wanna do the thing, but I just can’t. The thing is broken. Maybe you write – you want to, but you just don’t know what to even start with. Sports is your thing, but […]
Is there anything worse than a million things to do, no idea where to start and being so stressed with uni you just sit watching netflix and doing NONE of it! For me no, I am a bit of an organisational freak if I’m being honest and get so unmotivated when I have no idea […]
I’m now officially a little more than a month into my program, and so far it’s pretty much all I hoped it would be, if not better. Nerd alert. In my recent memory, I don’t think I have ever enjoyed taking as many notes as I have (50+ pages at the moment, I’ll panic over that […]

Time passes in a blink of an eye. I feel like it was just yesterday I arrived in Dundee when it was cold and dark now its spring already! So I thought you guys should have something to do other than being cooped up in your room binge watching TV series or studying. If you […]

For those of you who are about to embark on the dissertation journey, here’s a few things I learned along the way: (1) Be proactive- start thinking of ideas as soon as possible because ultimately this will save you a lot of time and stress later on. (2) Know that you will […]
Last year I was in such a bad habit of constantly buying food whilst out the house, worse still it was never particularly healthy food either. So this year I’ve reflected on my eating habits and thought of ways that I could save myself a bit of cash, and feed my brain something better than […]
On Monday evening my book history and publishing class took a trip to the University archives, located in the basement of Tower Building on campus.
