Chek-Mates

The most time I had ever spent on Jubilee Campus before this week had been during last year’s mad deadline rush in which myself and a course mate decided it was a great idea to spend all night in Jubilee Library writing our 3000 word coursework that was due in for the next day. In …

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 …

6 Simple Rules

I’m currently blogging from the comfort of my London home, where it is oh so toasty and I don’t have to do any washing up. WINNING!   Yesterday evening I was on the train, and it seemed those around me had forgotten simple public transport etiquette. So I have decided to present my own list …

You have been watching

I have a confession to make: I love TV. Glad I’ve got that off my chest.   I feel sort of un-cultured and plebeian saying it, like I’m admitting to loving watching bear-baiting and attending public hangings, instead of watching French subtitled black and white films and sketching metaphorical representations of dreams I’ve had whilst …

Life’s a Battlefield

Post it war First thing Monday morning, I’m half awake, stumbling round the house in search of my staple breakfast of weetos and I run into this. It made my day.  Yes, my day was made before 8am in the morning. Despite living together, myself and my housemates actually don’t see as much of one another as …

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 …

You are listening to…

The first ever Kiran and Alix Show went live this week on URN1350.net, Wednesday morning, 10 o’clock. It’s highly unlikely, but if you are reading this blog thinking ‘I am rather curious as to what Kiran’s voice sounds like’ then you can tune in next week and find out. I was also the producer, which …

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 …

Paranormal Activity

Even as a horror film fanatic, I still find myself getting spooked by stories..especially if they are true! After mingling with (people dressed as) zombies, witches, Phantom of the Opera, and Snape, a few of us moved onto another house and watched a couple of horror films: The Shining (classic horror) and The Pact (modern …

Anything can happen on Halloween…

Right now I feel like this:   My brain has been hollowed out and my features are carved in an expression of fatigue and mild confusion. Mid-term blues when the work really accumulates and summer seems like a distant memory.   However none of that matters because MY FAMILY ARE VISITING TODAY!!!! As you can …
