Revision fuel
April 21, 2016
Following on from my previous blog about what to listen to when revising, we now turn to the next complication when studying: what to eat?! Many people have told us that we need to eat right in order to fuel our brain to keep working, but what does this actually mean? Eat like …
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 …
Nottingham Pride
I don’t know if it’s the fact I’ve been away for a month and distance has made my heart grow fond but I am feeling particularly patriotic about my university this week. Don’t get me wrong I’ve always had a deeply routed sense of superiority about Nottingham when speaking to friends from other uni’s, not …
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.

Finding the Perfect Birthday Present
April 15, 2016
Unless you’re some kind of birthday prodigy, getting presents can be one of life’s most challenging tasks. Throughout the year you’ll be browsing through shops and high-streets and accidentally stumble across the perfect gift for so-and-so or something that what’s-his-face would absolutely love… but when it’s actually the week before their birthday your mind draws …

The Ultimate Revision Playlist
April 7, 2016
Revising in total silence is incredibly dangerous for me. Firstly I get bored and just turn to my phone when it’s quiet. I tried one week to revise without any music or noise and I went crazy. So music makes me sane, but it has to be certain types of music during the different …
Stranded… but not forgotten
Oh China, the only place that would have tourist buses to the Great Wall, but no tourist buses back. Okay… I admit we did get a little adventurous and decided to venture out to a deserted part of the wall 120km outside of Beijing， （金山岭 if
Who needs a grad job when you can do all this…?!
April 4, 2016
Your Bachelor’s Degree title is creeping ever closer, and instead of relishing the thought of putting BA or BSc after your name, you’re wishing you had another year because, quite frankly, real life is scary. No? Just me? Ok then, let’s just pretend I tried and failed to get a grad job; like many other …
