Strike of the Phones
February 4, 2013
Do you know the feeling? That feeling of terror, anguish, fear that strikes at the pit of your stomach as if one of your limbs is missing? Yes, I’m talking about the feeling you have when you lose your phone. That mini computer that has become an extension of our bodies; the sounds of which …
UoN Bucket List
January 28, 2013
It is the 28th January, exams are over, and the well-intended New Year’s resolution gym-goers have crawled back into their couch potato positions. Hopefully, if you’re reading this and I’ve just described you, this blog post may inspire you to get back up and try something BRAND. SPANKING. NEW. during this refreshers’ week. It may …

Isn’t it ironic … that you probably found your way to this blog post as one of your many methods of skilled procrastination; the exact topic I’m going to have a chat about. And the main culprit on trial: social media. We are currently half way though the exam period. I hope yours have gone/are …
A Happy New Year’s
January 8, 2013
New Year’s Eve is always a hit or miss kinda night. There’s always a lot of pressure to be doing something crazy fun and sometimes all the hype can leave you thinking ‘was that it?’ Nights out can be expensive, if you live in London and decide to go see the fireworks you have to …

December 11, 2012
Final week is here! Can you believe it? I feel like it was freshers, I blinked, and now we’re here. Deadlines are done or nearly so and now we’re realising how much revision we have to do over the holidays for January exams. When will it end? I find that at this time of year …

On Thursday of last week I was struck with an unfortunate case of man flu: an awful illness that most men are susceptible too, which really knocks you for six. I’m not gonna lie it wasn’t easy, but I feel like I’m on the mend (thank you for your concern!). This weekend my poor housemates …
Where will you live?
November 28, 2012
Dear Readers, First of all I’d like to apologise for the delayed posting of this blog. We’ve entered the second half of November and with it came an avalanche of deadlines. I beat my own record of most-amount-of-time-spent-in-the-library’ on Sunday, by a new personal best of thirteen hours (not really something to be proud of …
Winter adjustment
November 19, 2012
Winter brings the craziest things Walking around campus last week I noticed the funniest things. With only 4 weeks left (sorry, that’s a scary thought I know) and deadlines breathing down our necks like there’s no tomorrow, it’s easy to walk around campus with your blinkers on, not noticing the most peculiar behaviour. Yet, out …
Getting Active
November 12, 2012
With the Police Commissioner elections taking place this week I thought I’d change it up a bit and interview my friend Georgina about the SU’s campaign related to these elections. Here goes: What is a Police Commissioner and what role will they play? A Police Commissioner is a new government introduced position, which controls something …
Sound familiar, look familiar, is familiar?

There are three types of people in the word: the clean freaks, the lazy bodies, and the ones who don’t care what state the house is in as long as their stuff is tidied away so they can’t be blamed for the mess. As any student not living in catered halls knows (and boy do …
