It’s Always Sunny in… Nottingham?!
January 12, 2015
I know you are all probably as exhausted as I am, barely surviving on caffeine but if you’re looking for a little break from revision or a good excuse (in my opinion at least) to procrastinate have a little read of this post. Not too many words but lots of pictures, I promise! I love food and …
Study Abroad Decisions
January 1, 2015
I close my eyes and rest my forehead against the cool car window. I am in a shabby Parisienne cafe, sipping a rich black coffee and listening to the distant clatter of dishes and the bars of an Edith Piaf rhyme. I have a small pile of yellowing books in front of me as I …
A White Christmas (kinda)
December 29, 2014
It’s been two weeks since Christmas holidays have started but I have only spent 3 days in Nottingham. What have I been up to you might ask? Well for starters the Sunday after term ended I headed down to London just as an escape from Nottingham. As much as I love this little city I …

Robin Hood lovin’
December 12, 2014
Last week, I unleashed my inner Maid Marian (she’s inside us all) and excitedly prepared to be part of one Notts nightclub’s Guinness World Record attempt to get as many Robin Hoods in the room as possible. Sadly, I still remain record-less- but I did learn the important lesson of not losing your friends on …

Christmas juggling
December 9, 2014
As most students know, time at university is like a balancing act, with studying, societies, part time work and socialising all vying for your attention. Sadly, it doesn’t seem to be getting any easier as term draws to a close! I guess I had it coming. I was merrily sipping coffee whilst others battled with …
Grumpy Old Man Winter
December 8, 2014
Ah the festive period, a time for love, compassion, family and relaxation. A time for all students, regardless of religion or creed to come together and swear at their textbooks because exams are only a month away, and I totally knew this yesterday so why can’t I remember it now and third year can’t be …
Sutton Bonnington Farmers Market (Christmas Edition)
Hello all you lovely folk! Today marks the final week of the autumn term and as much as I love university and being swamped with coursework, I think I deserve a nice Christmas break. Anyway, enough yapping, I shall crack on with this week’s post! I am ashamed to say this but I have been at …
Deadlines (and the problems associated with not having any)
December 7, 2014
In case you haven’t noticed, it’s deadline season. Tension in the library has hit fever pitch, make but a single noise in the silent study and you run the risk of being attacked in by a bedraggled third year in a caffeine induced rage. But, strangely enough, I don’t actually have any. By virtue of …
