Favourite Student Recipes
September 22, 2020
I was never into cooking before university, but living in self-catered halls made me into quite the chef. Of course, being a student on a budget and having to operate out of a shared kitchen (and fridge) meant that the recipes I could choose from were a bit limited. This is because you won’t want …

Just imagine… You’re finally here! Welcome to Uni of Nottingham! You’re all moved in- maybe you’ve travelled from really far away or maybe you were a short journey away- either way, I bet you’re tired. It’s a stressful experience!

Nottingham in Bubble Tea
August 11, 2020
I have a confession… I’m addicted to bubble tea. Whereas some people might stop for a cup of coffee in the morning, I go straight for the boba shop. It’s a problem… but a really yummy one. If you don’t know what bubble tea is, you’re missing out. It’s a tea-based drink invented in Taiwan …
Summer Spirit
July 28, 2020
No matter how you tend to spend those hot summer months, staying at home and away from other people is probably not your idea of a fun summer.
