Turkish Delights

Apart from managing to break two pairs of shoes while on holiday (don’t wear heeled sandals to walk around ruins in!), getting a few pesky mosquito bites and effectively adopting three children, I had a great time in Turkey on my end of university, end of an era graduation trip. (I realise the last time …

and here I stand

Virtually alone in the rooms of Newark Hall. The place that was buzzing with excitement and anticipation, the place where it all started 9 months ago. I’m 1 of 3 people left on my corridor. It’s certainly a strange feeling this period of limbo I find myself in. It’s like I’m just waiting for the summer …

Grad Ball & Glad Rags

After getting back from Turkey at 5am Thursday morning and rushing into campus for the penultimate Morning Show with Kiran and Alix on URN, I was left with an hour to get ready for Grad Ball. Three years of University and it was all coming to an end! WARNING: SENTIMENTAL SENTENCE!!! It doesn’t seem that long …

#YOGO – You Only Graduate Once

I am really enjoying this freedom. Lie-ins everyday. No particular rush to get anywhere. Last minute plans. ‘Tis the life! With all this free time, I might even start reading Game of Thrones.

You can run a bath …

The Last Tales of a Fresher

13 days til the end. Til no matter how much I won’t want to I will have to leave Nottingham for the summer. The University summer is a long and arguably deserved one. Many of us will be pursuing jobs to fund the cheeky takeaways and impromptu night outs in the next year, some will …

SUN, SEA AND SUSPICIOUS TATTOOS

So I’ve officially finished my degree. It still hasn’t quite sunk in. Those around me congratulate me, but my response seems to be a blank stare followed by an “Oh my gosh, yeah”. I’m sure it will really hit home in a week or two, or at Graduation Ball. Straight after my exam, I finished …

Freedom in Pictures

At this moment I’m eating a chocolate cookie, dipping it in a cup of tea, sitting in my pyjamas in bed. Can you picture it? It doesn’t take a lot of imagination really but this is my less than adventurous image of freedom.   It must run in the family though as this week my …
