February 14, 2017
We all grow up with fantasies about the world that slowly disappear as we get older. A perfect university experience is one of those dreams. A year ago, peering into this chapter of my life from the safety of home, I had high hopes for what everyday life at uni would be like. Little …

December 19, 2016
With the first semester over, it’s fair to say these few months have been the strangest, most eventful, but most exciting ones of my 18 years.

#Throwback
February 25, 2016

Oh My English
May 26, 2012
Hello again, I know, it’s exam season. So, I understand if you don’t even have time to read any blogs. Thus, I’m going to keep it short (I’ll try my best). Living in the accommodation at King’s Mill hospital for the past 13 weeks (wow, it’s really been that long :O) made me realise a …
