Safe Valentine’s Day Celebrations
February 9, 2021
If you’re spending it together 1. Romantic takeaway Cooking together isn’t as fun when you do it often, so why not treat yourself to a nice ‘dinner out in’. If you often have takeaways, try to make this one special – light some candles (or fake candles, let’s not forget fire safety), play some …
Lots of Love ♥
February 12, 2018
Valentine’s Day is like Marmite. People either love it, or they hate it. I’m one of those weird people who is ambivalent about both. I like aspects of Valentine’s Day, not so much the commercial side of it. It’s a great reminder to show those you love just how much you care, because despite the …
Top tips: the Long Distance Relationship
February 22, 2016
Valentine’s Day may have left you a little loved-up, or alternatively, love-lonely (if you subscribe to such capitalist commercialism, that is.) In the will-they-won’t-they stage with someone, but their location puts you off? Or already with your S.O. but struggling with not seeing them? My mum advised against committing to a long distance relationship (“You …
A love affair with English!
February 11, 2015
“You should just do English. You’re good at that.” The sentence that my friend said to me whilst in school, prompting me to choose an English degree as my future path. Asking a friend to choose your degree really isn’t the recommended route, and admittedly not something I shared in my personal statement, but I …
Psychology: study of the heart?
February 10, 2015
Being in final year can lead to a real love-hate relationship with studying. But as it’s leading up to Valentine’s day, I’m going to look fondly at my subject of Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience – or feel the positive affect, as a psychologist might say. I get free reign to choose my modules this year, …
The Food Diaries (Part II)
February 17, 2014
I think I had a little too much fun last week with all the celebrations going on.. It was my friend’s birthday on Monday, then my flatmate’s birthday on Tuesday and then Valentine’s Day on Friday. There was some drinking involved, but the worst BEST part of it was all the food. Mostly dessert. There were …
Hills, happiness and hair dye
February 12, 2013
After a weekend of exploring Brecon in the dark with nothing but the shape of the person a metre in front to guide myself, some minor geographical misplacements and the formation of some very amusing memories, I crashed out during a break this afternoon – lecture seats are actually rather comfortable! The weekend was amazing, …
St. Valentine’s with Thomas Jefferson
February 17, 2012
My passion and curiosity for music led me to WTJU this week, the University of Virginia’s equivalent to URN (University Radio Nottingham) where I present a specialist show. Where this musical part of my journey takes me I have no idea but I’ll keep you informed. I have begun submitting my first ‘papers’ (coursework) covering …
Leap Years and Love.
February 16, 2012
February suddenly seems to be stretching out to be the longest month ever, ironic really when it normally goes so fast; I’m blaming the fact that’s it’s a leap year. This week has been crammed full of deadlines, drinks and dramatic days. February 14th – that day; dreaded by singles, males and cynics across the …
