So I'm somehow back already from my sweet six days in Cornwall and I can't for the life of me understand how time can move that fast! I spent most of my time lounging around in either my sister's house or at my parents place, and I've never felt more tired in my life...and the weather certainly gave me good reason to stay...

Back in August I made my first trip home to Cornwall since moving to Nottingham to live with my boyfriend and his family. I've now arrived back in my cute little Christmas village and am currently all cosy at my sisters house watching Christmas cbeebies, what a hoot. I thought before I share any Christmas related posts about being home, I'd throwback to...

There were plenty of things at university that helped get me through my degree - I must admit alcohol probably tops the list but it didn't act alone. My friends helped me cope with the stress, coffee helped me through the late night essays, the internet helped me understand a poem that I just didn't quite get, and at the core of my...

It may have been a while since I updated this series of university tales, but whilst I was on the job hunt I felt it appropriate to keep my image clean rather than revealing some of my antics. Alas, I've had a job for a while now and I've managed to find a nice balance with work and blogging, so back it comes....

I think my first reflection when I come to write this new series of posts at the end of each month is 'where on earth has that time gone?!' Time seems to be moving faster with each year that goes by, and 2015 is almost off the radar and we're so close to Christmas I can hear Buddy the Elf cheering. But wait, it's...

Small fact about me: I love listening to music with earphones in. Speakers are great, and my boyfriend has an amazing set, but nothing beats putting those buds in your ears and cutting yourself off from the outside world - provided their decent earphones that is.  I've never liked chunky headphones either, earphones are a must for me. I can slip them into...

In February 2013, I challenged myself to do 101 things in 1001 days. It was like a bucket list, but now the end has been and gone and I haven't kicked said bucket *sigh of relief*. Some of my ambitions were manageable but others took a bit of courage, effort and/or time. When I created the post I said I hoped to have done...

How could I resist the temptation of sharing a round up post about my trip to the Harry Potter studios? So many people have been so it seems a little ludicris to share the same photos everyone will see and share the magic that maybe some never want revealed, so look away now if you're that someone! I'm not sharing many photos because the magic...

I have to say that the past six months have gone incredibly fast considering I don't feel like much has happened. Sure I've graduated, passed my driving test and successfully got my first job post-univertsity but other than that we've been living a quiet life in a relatively dull village in the sticks of Nottinghamshire. As many of you know from my previous...

I'm only 21 years old but my fingers and toes wouldn't be enough to count the amount of friends I've lost. I completely agree with the belief that losing friends shows that you are changing and/or growing up. I've left some people behind because I needed to take my life in a different direction, and occasionally it's been the case that people have...

It's been a little while since I shared some of my experience of student life with you lovely lot for the obvious reason that I am no longer a student! But being a graduate doesn't mean I've forgotten what it's like to be one of you! So here are a few of the realities of student life and some advice that I think...
