Once again third year has been a bull in a china shop, though instead of smashing china it's smashing my will to live. However, with all these essays and the nights out to compensate for the headaches, there's nothing I need more than a bit of tech protection! Other than the odd misplaced phone (one was found buried in the snow and alas,...
If you couldn't guess by the quietness of my blog, what is happening is, quite simply, a lot. Lately my inspiration has dwindled and unfortunately that also means so have my readers, and I do apologise sincerely for taking such long breaks away from my once active and adored blog. I have succumbed to the madness of third year, and let all aspects...
Now in my final year at university I decided to not only hear the thoughts of freshers who had finished up their year, but to also hear from the students that are over half way through their university journey just like me. The first post is from a now final year student, who has been lovely enough to share her story, so without...
The simple answer is, me. Lately I've become a bit overwhelmed with the work load I've had and the sensible decision to actually start attending more and working harder has resulted in very little time for me to set aside and blog. Third year is so far extremely different to my previous years, and despite my 6 hours a week I still can't...
After last weeks fantastic #lbloggers chat about Pinterest I felt inspired to blog a little about what I love about the site that both inspires me and also fills me with envy. I've never heard anyone say a bad word about Pinterest, whether that's because I refuse to hear it or just because it's that bloomin' good, I think the agreement from the...
Now we're down to the nitty gritty of a fearful third year at university, I thought I'd finally make the time to reflect upon the absolute whirlwind of a week that was Freshers'; there were fall outs, fights, tears, laughs and of course photographic evidence of all the alcohol fueled fun. Questionable singing was heard at the headphone disco, disgusting drinks were combined...
Before my final Freshers' Week commenced I was offered a product to play with that'd certainly be well used during the week of non-stop fun, this being the wireless UE Boom speaker. I knew instantly that this product would be perfect for our predrinks in our student house, and was kindly sent it in time for the first event of Freshers', the Icebreaker...
I recently reviewed the Logitech K830 Keyboard, and to my delight, I still had another product to play with. I was also sent the Zone Touch Mouse T400. I looked at this online and questioned whether I liked the design of the product, but when it arrived it looked sleek and attractive. It was also lovely to be sent one in a beautiful...
Firstly, congratulations on becoming so petite over summer, you look great. However, all that running, walking and working was completely pointless, give it a few months time and you'll have put on a stone, have eaten more pizza, more cheese and pasta, and consumed more alcoholic beverages than you can keep count of. Whilst each mouthful will be seriously delicious, especially those huge...
Not too long ago I was asked over twitter and by one of my work friends whether it was worth getting a job in first year, and having only worked during my holidays back home I decided to try and get opinions from other students and graduates who worked throughout their uni years to form a post from experiences that will hopefully help...
My next lovely fresher is a friend of Mike's (whose interview you can read about here) named Kam, who began talking to me after I started posting my advice for freshers on our university freshers page. Now he's finished his first year studying Philosophy and Computing, (with a course change to Philosophy and Criminology for his second year), at Keele, he, like most,...
Whilst we were in Tunisia we couldn't turn down the chance to explore the place in an old fashioned way, so we decided to pay £15 each - which is a bargain really - for a few hours out and about on a camel in traditional caravan formation. We started the day off early, heading on a bus to pick up other people...
As I mentioned in my recent recipe post, I've now been on the Paleo diet for 1 week! If you don't know what the paleo diet consists of, it's basically a no wheat and dairy diet, and the idea behind it is that you wouldn't eat something that you couldn't hunt for yourself, as though you were a caveman. So yes, that means...
With Freshers just around the corner and students all around the country getting hyped up for a fun filled week of booze, new friends and no doubt some coughs and sneezes, I thought I’d give you a little advice on how to make the most of your first year of university. Making the most of... ...Where you live Almost every university student would...
My next fresher is a lovely chap named Mike, who studies Biochemistry and Biology at Keele University. I first met Mike when I invited Kam - who you shall soon hear from too - to prinks before a house party, accompanying the lads was a bottle of sambucca, which by the end of the night we had all set alight to whilst it...
It's been almost a week of attempting the paleo diet, and surprisingly it's been going pretty well, but you can hear all about that in my week review tomorrow! But today, inspired to do some baking on my day off by The Great British Bake Off - let's not even talk about the bincident - I thought I'd try my poor baking skills...
Since I've got back from my all inclusive holiday, which you can read about here, I've definitely been feeling that my body's a little out of tune having gorged myself on plates full of spicy, delicious foreign food. I've been back a week now, and the few lbs I've gained over the summer are hanging on in there, and I know its about...
