Sorry isn’t the hardest word…

Retail Therapy
January 27, 2013
After writing the title of this blog, I suffered from a spontaneous case of ‘Oh-my-God-I-am-in-third-year-what-am-I-going-to-do-with-my-life?!’ and so immediately asked Google to help me solve this problem by searching for internships or Masters degrees.

Want to Watch a Film?

Retaining the will to live
January 15, 2013
It’s a feeling I’m sure you’re becoming all too familiar with this week, the will to live slowly seeping through your fingers with every page of text you read, every sentence you write. Take heed guys, there is an end! Apparently. If you find it let me know. Not going to lie, this week hasn’t …
