Sunday Roast + Even More Christmas Cheer
December 1, 2014
Sorry guys this is going to be another food-heavy post. Maybe I should write for a food blog instead? I have had many Sunday Roasts while in university halls. However they sometimes left a little to be desired as portions were small. However on Sunday a couple of my friends and I decided to try out Toby …
Is it Christmas Yet?
November 24, 2014
Deadline & exam week has gone past and I have thankfully made it. With a busy and stressful module up ahead I decided that this weekend was going to be a fun one. I was so determined, I started on Friday after my calculations exam. If only I got this excited about coursework.. A group of us …
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas
November 19, 2014
Sometime in the last fortnight, the start of Christmas arrived. Monty the Penguin graced our tellies and sold out too quick for me to buy and Starbucks and Costa released their Christmas cups. (Costa totally beat Starbucks this year… snowmen are definitely more festive than red lines!) Not one to miss any Christmas fun, I …
That Time of Year Again
November 10, 2014
It is that time of year again where things that happen at this time of year… happen. Some of them are good and some of them are bad and you can decide which is which. Before I continue, I apologise for being away for so long. I have a good excuse this time (I promise!). You may have realised …
Define holiday…
January 8, 2014
Happy New Year everyone! It has been two weeks since my last blog, as we have had Christmas and New Year on the Wednesdays in between, and the holiday has been MANIC. Christmas is always so busy I find, seeing family and friends and all the cooking and work that has to fit in …
An Unusual Christmas
December 23, 2013
This year will be the first Christmas I’ve spent away from home and my parents. It’s not all bad though because I at least have my sister and I still get to spend time with family. I guess it’s quite nice to know that thousands of miles away from home there is still nothing quite …
Christmas: The Movie; or, A Question of Genre
December 20, 2013
Back home for Christmas. And the lists have been written up. Lists for the Christmas party; Christmas decorations; baking ingredients; still-to-buy presents; and (most importantly) what-films-to-watch. Films. Movies. Whenever I think of the Christmas holidays I think of slumping on the sofa and watching a family film. For some people it’s TV series and, I …
Santa isn’t Dead
December 13, 2013
Twas a plain simple Sunday. And a girl lay awake, looking up out of the window of her tower-bedroom. The window was frosty and outside the world was chilly and damp. It was Christmas day. Well, for anyone else – any other students slumbering sluggishly that simple Sunday morning – it was just another Sunday …

Breathing is a 100% effective at keeping you alive, it’s free and easy to do, and all jobs require you to be able to breathe. Try breathing today – satisfaction guaranteed! …
Lesson One of House Hunting: Be (very) Patient
December 9, 2013
This past week my flatmates and I had our first experience at house hunting. However we got lost (in Lenton!) and were about 15 minutes late for our viewing slot. Naturally, the agent wasn’t very pleased with the five of us and proceeded to only show us one house out of our original plan of …
