Exciting things
February 20, 2013
Since I’m supposed to be writing about student life I thought I would summarise the week in terms of “exciting things” in the life of a student. Most exciting thing I saw this week: A pheasant. I’m not joking. Walking down my road to get to lectures, a pheasant casually strides across (Why did the …
HOME

I’ve clicked my Ruby slippers, followed the scent –it’s my home Ratty!, told everybody I’m on my way (who gets all three references?) and I am home for Christmas. T minus 6 days and counting. Home is lovely and altogether too distracting for revision. I find the Christmas holidays so much harder to work …
Big Brother is watching…the BBC Good Food Show
December 5, 2012
“WAR IS PEACE” “FREEDOM IS SLAVERY” “IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH” Ever wondered where the phrases “big Brother” and “room 101” come from? Well the answer is the novel 1984 by George Orwell; a bleak portrayal of a future where a dictatorship rules humanity and life is defined by the slogans above. The New Theatre (the only …

If I was doing a degree in procrastination I would get… …a fail because I’d have distracted myself doing something else. Well I’m not that bad. I do get my work done before deadlines and I do try to be organised, however sometimes it all gets a bit much and working swiftly changes to procrastination. …
Haha!

Sometimes laughter is the best medicine. A case in point below of me crying with laughter before going to a ball (I’m not normally dressed that formally). My flatmates were pretending to rap. I love my Uni friends – and random moments of joy that have really made me chuckle. This week these moments have …
The Game of Life

This is my To Do list: We’ve got a lot to do, it is one lump or two? For you our guest, She’s our Guest, Be our guest!. As you can see I have quite a lot to do. Uni Third year is like playing “life” on level expert, with multiple coursework bosses and low …

With the Police Commissioner elections taking place this week I thought I’d change it up a bit and interview my friend Georgina about the SU’s campaign related to these elections. Here goes: What is a Police Commissioner and what role will they play? A Police Commissioner is a new government introduced position, which controls something …

I have a confession to make: I love TV. Glad I’ve got that off my chest. I feel sort of un-cultured and plebeian saying it, like I’m admitting to loving watching bear-baiting and attending public hangings, instead of watching French subtitled black and white films and sketching metaphorical representations of dreams I’ve had whilst …
Sound familiar, look familiar, is familiar?

There are three types of people in the word: the clean freaks, the lazy bodies, and the ones who don’t care what state the house is in as long as their stuff is tidied away so they can’t be blamed for the mess. As any student not living in catered halls knows (and boy do …
Anything can happen on Halloween…
October 31, 2012
Right now I feel like this: My brain has been hollowed out and my features are carved in an expression of fatigue and mild confusion. Mid-term blues when the work really accumulates and summer seems like a distant memory. However none of that matters because MY FAMILY ARE VISITING TODAY!!!! As you can …
