A day in the life of a 4th year vet student
February 10, 2020
5am: I wake up bright and early to get straight outdoors for a kale smoothie and a run. Just kidding! I’m very much still asleep at 5am. And don’t even talk to me about kale. 8am: I wake up (for real this time), scroll through social media for a bit, and drag myself through the …
Top Five Things to Do at Sutton Bonington
January 27, 2020
Ah, Sutton Bonington campus. Approximately 10 miles south of University Park and Jubilee Campuses, it’s a place mostly unheard of by the majority of University of Nottingham students. But to me? It’s my home. I (of course) think it’s worth visiting all year round, but just in case you need more convincing, here are 5 …

January 29, 2014
So this is love: So is this: And this: My mum sent me some Frozen stickers in the post after me crying down the phone about a very stressful start to hospital placement. Yes – it has actually started! I had my VIVA on Friday, then a whole weekend to relax (what …
Students just wanna have fun!
October 9, 2013
Now I know humour is subjective…for example apparently this is funny: I think it’s just….wrong. I think the next advert will be in some kind of mental health setting: “Josh always eats Flora before his therapy sessions – as he needs energy to reach his emotional depths.” However I was alerted to this ‘delightful’ and …
Fourth Year…I can’t believe I just wrote that!
October 2, 2013
Lecturer: “I mean you’re fourth year now, so really you should always have a scientific journal article on you, to read and highlight in spare moments.” Students: stunned silence So I’ve started fourth year.

The Key of the Door
March 6, 2013
So apparently, when you’re 21 you get the key of the door- because you’ve never been 21 before. So that was exciting this weekend on my 21st birthday. My mum tried to get me one of these gorgeous plastic numbers but couldn’t find one in time. So in stead I got these I love tulips 🙂 …
Mysteries
February 27, 2013
Mystery: Noun: Something that is difficult or impossible to understand or explain. Mystery number 1: A Murder Mystery Party We had lovely house-guests this weekend and had a murder mystery dinner party in their honour. This was hilarious. Good food. Ridiculous plot. Gallivanting. Standard. As is customary with these things, the storyline was scandalous: affairs, manipulation …
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 …
