Applying for Jobs: What I Think and What I Should Actually Think
May 13, 2016
After handing in my last piece of coursework a couple of weeks ago, I have begun seriously dwelling on what the next steps of my life will be. Naturally, this topic has come up in more than one conversation. “You’re finished?” some ask. “What are you going to do now?” “So have you started looking …
On Creativity and Science
May 5, 2016
A bit of an unusual post today, particularly in the midst of this manic revision time but this is something I’ve been thinking a lot about recently, which is probably because I’m majorly procrastinating. What I want to address today is the relationship between creativity and science. Most people think of science as a strictly …
Escaping The Procrastination Station
April 20, 2016
It’s that time of year again. Close enough to exams to feel like you should be doing work, but not quite close enough to be driven by panic to actually do the work. So instead you spend hours doing Buzzfeed quizzes on which season of Friends it is based on Monica’s kitchen. Or wondering what …
My UoN highlights: #1 Learning a Language
April 18, 2016
As third year draws to a reluctant (and panicky) end, more and more I find my nostalgic finalist self wistfully reminiscing upon the highlights of my years at UoN. One of the most fun and most important experiences of my studenthood has been learning Dutch. We English are famed for only speaking, well… English. And not even …

Alternative Nights Out In Notts
March 10, 2016
Ever since I wrote my last blog post about surviving university as an introvert I’ve been innundated with messages about what activities there are available for introverts in Nottingham. Just kidding, I’ve had none. But I did think that maybe poor ol’ introverted fresher me might have benefitted from some ideas for some slighty tamer/ …
Dear 2016…
December 17, 2015
Even though Christmas is still a week away, I thought I’d look beyond Christmas and to the New Year. As students we will all definitely have a couple of New Year’s resolutions, so I have picked out the ones that will definitely be on your list for 2016 and how long they’ll realistically last. …
The TV to watch instead of revising this Christmas
December 16, 2015
For those with exams in January, the joy of going home for the holidays is slightly tainted by the ever looming guilty feeling that you should be revising rather than pigging out on advent calandars and watching Love Actually for the twelth time. Well, what if I told you that you could have it both …
May the Christmas spirit be with you
Here it is. The day we’ve been patiently waiting for. Everywhere you go, you can hear the music blasting in your ears. So close i can practically taste it… The release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens is imminent and words cannot describe the pure liquid hype that is coursing through my veins. I realise …
3 Ways to Reduce Deadline Stress
December 5, 2015
It’s that time of year again. The evenings are darker, the days are colder, and your sleep cycle is so out of tune that you might as well be in another timezone. Not exactly ideal combined with the crushing weight of winter coursework deadlines. So if you’re feeling the pressure, try out some of the …
