How to Make it to your 9am
November 22, 2017
Now, as the saying goes, you are either a lark or an owl, aka, you are either a morning or a night person. Luckily for me, there is no better feeling than having an early night only to wake up two hours before is needed so that I can spend the morning doing whatever I …
6 simple steps to become a morning person
March 21, 2017
You know who they are. They’re the person whose smoothie-blending wakes you up at 7am every morning. They’re the person who’s just come back from a run as you drag your hungover cadaver into the kitchen to reheat a slice of last night’s pizza for ‘breakfast’ (by now, of course, it’s 11am and you’ve already …

“You just need to find a work life balance”. Oh. Right. OK. Thank you buzz feed for your wonderful, insightful advice. Those nine words have saved me from the whirlwind of essays, parties, reading and lack of sleep that sums up my new life as a fresher. I wish. We’re always told that all we …

Submissions and Sleep
April 26, 2012
It’s finished, complete, submitted and handed in. This afternoon, the months of reading, planning, structuring, writing, editing, shuffling, formatting finally ended and I submitted my final dissertation. I realise why it’s such an integral part of third year; yes it’s tough, and intense and gruelling at times, but if you didn’t do something like this, …
