And now, the end is near…
June 9, 2016
The end of uni is hurtling towards us at breakneck speed and the nostalgic juices have been flowing each time we’ve done a ‘last time we’ll ever…’ activity. In first year, we religiously followed an Impact bucket list guide to Nottingham and managed to complete an impressive amount of it, but it seems that we …
4 of the Best Bars in Nottingham
June 1, 2016
This is a guide for those of you who don’t really understand the appeal of fist pumping to the latest mind scrambling rave anthem in a dark sweaty room and would rather have a nice relaxed pint in a bar with a couple of friends. In no particular order here are my favourite bars in …
How I Survived The Library
May 31, 2016
Exams are thankfully over for me, but before I got to this point, I was in the deep depths of.. THE LIBRARY. Almost every day of the past two and a half weeks of my life were spent in the George Green Library cramming prepping for my last ever exams. I was pretty serious about this …
Nottingham’s LGBT-friendly venues
May 21, 2016
Queer culture can sometimes be hard to find; as are venues where LGBT+ individuals feel safe to be completely themselves.

In Search of the Perfect Chai Latte in Nottingham
March 28, 2016
My friends and blog readers know there is nothing more I love than a good cup of coffee.

The more little hurdles I pass the more real it’s becoming… and scary. I can remember getting my offer …
Things Not To Ask a Final Year
February 6, 2016
It’s that time in a third year’s life when things are starting to accumulate. The work loads looming, dissertation and project deadlines creeping, the omniscient real-life approaching… But I’m not alone in my sorrow and stress. We final years gather together and share our woes, discussing the questions that trouble us so. Especially after a …
“Do Something Different”
January 22, 2016
When I first came to the University of Nottingham, I was a visionary. I had decided before I even got there I would dip my toes in gymnastics or skydiving or other sports I’d never tried; that I’d be part of a handful of societies; and that I’d try things out that I’d never get …

In the days leading up to Christmas I made a post about what I was looking forward to about going home. Now that I’m at home, it only seems right to make a post about what I’m missing back at uni… 1: Sainsbury’s on Derby Road It doesn’t matter what time of day it is, you …
3 Ways to Reduce Deadline Stress
December 5, 2015
It’s that time of year again. The evenings are darker, the days are colder, and your sleep cycle is so out of tune that you might as well be in another timezone.
