Hallward…We Need To Talk!
May 19, 2013
Dear Hallward, I think we need to talk. We’ve had a good run and I’ve been thinking about this for a long time now. I don’t think it’s working anymore. I mean, I have been working but you try and distract me with you vending machines and your swivel chairs and your …
Are YOU an Internet Addict?!
May 12, 2013
Hi, my name is Kiran Benawra and I am an Internet addict. At the moment I have 16 tabs open and no idea how it happened (are you now counting how many tabs you have open?!) If you can’t cope a week, a day, an hour without being connected to the World Wide Web then …
Library Lifestyle
May 5, 2013
Living the fun lifestyle of a third year, I’ve been spending quite a lot of the time in the library at the moment. Yesterday I went to Hallward, nipped out to see East at the Nottingham New Theatre and it was back to the library until 1:30am. I’m sure many of you are thinking ‘That’s …
Team Arts
April 28, 2013
Impact Elections 2013. Time to welcome in the new era of editors and it’s safe to say a lot of us were in denial about having to give up our roles…or we were probably just depressed because we had to take our team photo in the rain. Flashbacks of last year crept in as the …
Coping in Copenhagen
April 17, 2013
Last year when my housemate Cara told the rest of us she wanted to do a study year abroad we didn’t want her to leave. Now I’m glad she did. (Sorry Cara, I’m aware that made it sound like I don’t like you anymore but on the contrary) I am glad she jetted off to …
When I Grow Up…
April 7, 2013
During this Easter break I have been filling in application after application finally accepting that this is my last year at the University of Nottingham (sad times) and that I should probably start doing the grown up thing of planning for the future. But before I fully commit to completely being an adult, here is …
Grandma’s Easter Eggs
March 31, 2013
Happy Easter Sunday! Hope you also all had a good Good Friday…and an adequate Saturday. I’m going all Delia Smith in this appropriately themed blog to give you another treat this Easter Weekend. Forget the shop bought, already formed, already packaged hollow Easter Eggs! Here at the Benawra household we make our own…as well as …
Life Got Cold…
March 24, 2013
Any other week I would be referring to the whole lotta snow we’ve been having lately. However, enough small talk about the weather because this week brought the end of a pop era! After a decade and very shortly after their Ten tour Girls Aloud split! Now to many of you this may not impact …
Happy St Patrick’s Day!
March 17, 2013
Hey Patrick! As this is your special day I am dedicating this blog to all things Irish…you can buy me a ticket to Ireland as a thank you if you really want to. In fact, just last night my housemates and I went out sporting some rather fetching Irish themed fancy dress. Originally I wanted …
What a Joke!
March 10, 2013
Today I went into the Disney Store and my friend and I were put on the spot and asked by a shop assistant to tell him a joke! He wasn’t just making polite conversation. It turns out that if we made him laugh, the Disney Store would donate £1 to Comic Relief! Now that was …
