Untying the Notts…

This is the moment you have all been waiting for. It’s time for my final blog. Now I was mulling over what I should write to really celebrate this moment but even having a degree in English with Creative Writing didn’t seem to help. Instead I have decided to use my previous 38 blogs, pick …

Uni Withdrawal Syndrome

It’s the start of September, months since many of us have been on campus and for some of us we not be returning in the new term. So how have you been coping with normal eating and sleeping patterns? Have you woken up with a start thinking you’ve missed your lecture only to realise you’ve …

Barcelona, Beaches & Buildings

Anyone else been on the family summer holiday yet? If you haven’t,  don’t worry I’m not going to use this blog to brag about going away to Barcelona! In fact last year our family went on a beach holiday to Essex…no joke. So I have pretty much managed to sum up my trip to Spain …

The Search for Robin Hood

Three years in Nottingham and I had been an awful tourist; no jumper tied around the waist, no asking the locals to take my picture in front of the Castle and no sightings of Robin Hood! To be fair I was pretty sure Mr Hood had taken up his retirement and started selling jacket potatoes in …

Graduation & Gowns

This moment seemed so far away three years ago but today I find myself in my Graduation robes, hat at the ready and about to graduate from the University of Nottingham. I know it’s a cliché but seriously where has all the time gone?! Oh well, here we go…     My hat is a …

My Uni Top 10

There have been a lot of ‘last EVER’ moments this week. Everyone is starting to get emotional. Everyone is starting to leave. With everyone then being infected by the sentimentality bug I’ve decided it is indeed time to reminisce so here is my countdown of  my top 10 university highlights: 10. Being a Student Blogger Starting …

Turkish Delights

Apart from managing to break two pairs of shoes while on holiday (don’t wear heeled sandals to walk around ruins in!), getting a few pesky mosquito bites and effectively adopting three children, I had a great time in Turkey on my end of university, end of an era graduation trip. (I realise the last time …

Grad Ball & Glad Rags

After getting back from Turkey at 5am Thursday morning and rushing into campus for the penultimate Morning Show with Kiran and Alix on URN, I was left with an hour to get ready for Grad Ball. Three years of University and it was all coming to an end! WARNING: SENTIMENTAL SENTENCE!!! It doesn’t seem that long …

Freedom in Pictures

At this moment I’m eating a chocolate cookie, dipping it in a cup of tea, sitting in my pyjamas in bed. Can you picture it? It doesn’t take a lot of imagination really but this is my less than adventurous image of freedom.   It must run in the family though as this week my …

Obvious Life Tips About Things That Don’t Matter

      Last week I was going crazy in the library:   That was before. I am now one of the lucky few that have  finished, done with exams and essays and Hallward. (Didn’t mean to rub it if you are not free yet! It will all be over soon) If you are still …
