House Hunting in Nottingham
January 11, 2013
After exams, the streets of Nottingham become pretty full of students looking for houses for the next academic year. Some have booked appointments to be shown round by the landlord, others just knock on doors with letting agency signposts. Both are wise options, the latter more so when houses start to get snapped up quickly. …
My 2012 in Pictures
January 4, 2013
A year ends and so a new one begins. It only seems fitting to look back on 2012, so here are some highlights of my year: Watching the fireworks on the River Thames for NYE. My friends and I travelled into London on public transport with “2012” written …
Riding in a one-horse sleigh
December 29, 2012
It’s been 3 days since Christmas. The only remnants are a white Christmas tree that probably won’t be taken down for another couple of months, and the memories. In the run-up to Christmas I wasn’t very excited. I don’t mean to sound like a scrooge, but this year the Christmas period seemed like any other holiday. My friend …
Confessions of a Uni Student
December 21, 2012
1.57 pm, Friday 21st December 2012, and we have survived the apparent end of the world. Today the Maya calendar ends and a new baktum (cycle of 140,000 days) begins.

Viral Videos
December 15, 2012
There has been a lot of talk about the norovirus in the media recently, also known as the ‘winter vomiting bug’. It’s all a bit depressing really. Nevertheless, ‘virus’ is the inspiration behind this blog, but the “good” kind…VIRAL VIDEOS! Within each year of University, a new viral video seems to appear out of nowhere. …
The End is Nigh
December 7, 2012
End of term is fast approaching. For me, this means sleeping in the afternoon as lecturers end their modules. For example, yesterday was “Lazy Thursday”, a bit like ‘Lazy Sunday’ by my favourite band The Lonely Island… …But without the cupcakes and calling Chris Parnell “just to see how he’s doing” bits, and instead of …
Happy Friesday!
November 30, 2012
Today is Friesday…this means Burger King is giving away free fries. True story! After lectures, a friend and I hopped on the bus 34 and went to Burger King for the delicious treat. If you are reading this and it is still Friday 30th November, head on down to Burger King. YUM! In honour of …
7 Days
November 23, 2012
Om nom nom When it’s really cold I eat a lot more than I need to. In the past 6 days, I’ve had waffles with golden syrup pretty much every morning (and some evenings), about 7 pork sausages, Chinese take-out twice, and a lot of crisps/sweets. I don’t know what it is about the cold …
Bare Grills
November 16, 2012
For many, cooking for themselves is a scary prospect. But it needn’t be! It’s not like you have to rear your own cattle, grow your own vegetables, and make your own pasta. You don’t need to enter the kitchen looking like this: Nor do you need to spend hours each evening making an extravagant meal. …
6 Simple Rules
November 9, 2012
I’m currently blogging from the comfort of my London home, where it is oh so toasty and I don’t have to do any washing up. WINNING! Yesterday evening I was on the train, and it seemed those around me had forgotten simple public transport etiquette. So I have decided to present my own list …
