#ShowOff16
December 9, 2015
Amidst dissertation work, essay writing and everything else that characterises final year of uni, I’m helping out with this year’s English Showcase. Extra responsibility in my busiest year? I know. But it’s actually helping with my sanity a bit, since I’m forced to interact with others instead of spending the whole day talking to books …
So you’ve got into uni… Now what?
August 13, 2015
Results day 2013, I went to my sixth form to collect my A Level results, convinced that UCAS had an error when it told me I’d got in to university. Results day was more than a bit stressful and the run up to it was an absolute nightmare, with too much time spent marking my essays …
Summer in Nottingham
July 15, 2015
The pop up beach is about to arrive and I’ve been thinking of things on offer for those who decided to stay in Nottingham this summer. I binge-watched the new season of Orange Is The New Black and found myself a bit stuck for things to do, so decided to come up with some summer-themed entertainment. If you chose to …
Things I Learnt in Second Year of Uni
June 11, 2015
Results day is fast approaching and second year of uni is well and truly over for me. I’m a little bit terrified of becoming a final year student and therefore having to face the thought of graduation, so for now let’s take a look back instead of forward and take a look at what (non-academic) …
4 reasons I’m for summer internships
June 7, 2015
While other students are off travelling this summer, I’ll be staying in Nottingham, saving my trips for weekends and the end of summer and opting to work instead. Last year, I worked as a Social Media Manager and really enjoyed it, so this year I’m testing the water with PR. I’m excited to start my internship …
Hallward vs. Home
April 15, 2015
The Easter egg chocolate has dwindled away, sunny days are being spent indoors and I’m all out of ways to avoid the dreaded coursework that needs to be done. As a final form of procrastination, I’m weighing up working in the library versus working at home today! Home No one will ask you to watch …
A weekend in Dublin!
March 11, 2015
I escaped Nottingham a couple of weeks ago to spend a weekend exploring Dublin! It was incredible and I’d highly recommend a trip if you’re looking for a short city break. I got up to some typical tourist stuff, so I’m sharing a few of my favourite sights with you guys today. Our first stop …
Surviving the cold
February 25, 2015
It’s undeniable that University Park Campus is beautiful, with lots of green space that makes it so much nicer to look at than city campuses. In the summer, there are plenty of outdoor spaces for reading, picnics and BBQs. What’s not to love about tall trees and patches of greenery as you travel from one …
A love affair with English!
February 11, 2015
“You should just do English. You’re good at that.” The sentence that my friend said to me whilst in school, prompting me to choose an English degree as my future path. Asking a friend to choose your degree really isn’t the recommended route, and admittedly not something I shared in my personal statement, but I …
Failed Attempts at Being Healthy
February 4, 2015
Now it’s February, I’m sure most New Year’s resolutions have gone out of the window. If yours are still going strong then congrats – you’re better than most! I made one New Year’s resolution that’s pretty much a whole life resolution: be healthy. How many of you said the same thing? Everyone?! Not very original, …
