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 […]
Sorry if your field trips as a kid weren’t as life changing as mine. Okay, maybe not life changing, but they may have been what I looked forward to more than anything! Wait, actually I think it was birthday parties, but field trips were a close second… As a kid I clearly remember field trips to […]
So the weather doesn’t really know what it’s doing, it was pretty cold last week and a lot warmer this week. But that’s okay because do I really know what I’m doing either? I feel you, weather. I feel you. Just kidding! I think. I totally know what I’m doing. Right? Seems to be a […]
Wow! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen myself here writing to you. Meanwhile, I’ve kept quite busy. In my Master’s program, I typically have 2 classes per week which are 3 hours each. That leaves me a lot of free time which I was pretty scared I would waste. Luckily, I have learned […]
About an hour’s train journey away from Dundee, lies a small town called Pitlochry, home to a forest that for a whole month of every year for the past fifteen years turns into a magical light show. This year’s theme was ‘Shimmer’, featuring disco balls, flashing lights, beautiful music and a giant tree fairy. Tickets […]
As a medical student, what better day to share about than the day we had our first formative assessment. To begin with, a formative assessment is a test which we sit for to test ourselves on how much we know and don’t know; it is not counted into our final grade, so it’s a conducive […]
Thought I would give you all an insight into what a typical day is like for me in my final year of my English degree. This semester, Fridays are my busiest days with five hours of classes. I actually only have one other hour a week on a Monday but thankfully this means I have […]
The past couple of weeks have flown in, with classes gearing up to coursework due dates and a few sociable nights- including a three-day 21st birthday celebration. Nearly a fortnight ago, the Humanities Society here at UoD played host to a Family Ties event where a couple of Third or Fourth Year students acted as […]
I thought it would be interesting for people to see what University of Dundee students do in their day to day lives, so here’s day in my life. I woke up at 7:50am got ready and left the house. I grabbed a tea and a steak bake on my way to DJCAD because, frankly, […]
So my fourth and final Freshers Week wasn’t exactly wild. It featured a lot of shifts in work, one night of Ring of Fire, one day of recovering from said Ring of Fire, one trip to the Freshers Fair and an obscene amount of binge-watching Married At First Sight USA (which I would definitely recommend […]
