YOU! Could save somebody!

A few days ago I was asked to summarise my blogging content for a short piece in the staff magazine. I was a bit stumped at first – what have my blogs been about… I tend to just sit down and summarise my week. Well this realisation prompted me to do something a little different. …

Green Chicken Down!

This weekend I was lucky enough to pop back home and enjoy a bit of R&R after a bit of a manic week that I’ve come to realise is now just the normal for any University student. I’ll get to the home bit in a minute but first I thought I’d share a few pictures …

What’s on my mind? Well how about I tell you

Here I am again. A week has past. A week of twiddling my thumbs and waiting for inspiration to strike and still no idea for what to write about. In this time of desperation the only idea I have is to combine all the little ideas I’ve had into a generic blog. I shall call …

Sorry isn’t the hardest word…

Sorry seems to be the hardest word, or is it? I think there is another word that is harder than sorry and that is ‘Goodbye’. Both words ‘Sorry’ and ‘Goodbye’ are words that are probably said every day but rarely are they meant to their full extent. So what is Goodbye? Goodbye is… Exclamation Used …

The Second Term Slog

First of all I’d like to wish everyone a Happy New Year! It’s been a while but I’m finally back at my computer screen and preparing to write my first blog of 2013! In brief I’ve celebrated my 19th birthday, ate plenty of good food at Christmas and welcomed in the New Year in style… …

The Secrets of Christmas

Christmas is coming, the snow is falling in different places in the UK, late-night shopping is well and truly underway. Mince pies are being consumed, certainly too much in my case! But for many people in halls that Christmassy feeling is yet to arrive. For many of us we associate Christmas with being around our …

The Christmas Countdown!

I’d like to apologise for the late postage of this blog and hope you readers haven’t bitten through your fingernails in anticipation… but here it is! I will make be making up for the ‘missed’ blog and posting another this week, on time! I’m finally understanding the life of a University student, and it is …

Part of Society?

At University many opportunities present themselves to you. From the chance to be indepedent and learn life skills such as cooking and money management… (not that the last is learned well) to having the chance to participate in new sports or other such new activities. In my opinion, the best way to make the most …

Just another week in paradise!

As I sat down tonight and stroked my chin, in order to conjure up an idea about what to blog about, I realised something. It’s been 6 weeks since my arrival in Nottingham! Six weeks and this was the first chance I’ve had the time to stop and think about how amazing my time has …

When in Rome… I mean Nottingham!

Hello all and welcome to Round 2! This week’s blog is fresh off the press and the content you will be feasting upon is my version of The Nottingham Bucket List. Hopefully you’ll find it agreeable, or rather you will do once you break the student stereotype and get out of the bed and experience …
