In the spirit of the New Year and all my friends talking about their New Year's resolutions I thought I would write about why I will not be making any this year. So I have tried and failed to be healthy again. Towards the end of last term at university I made the decision to… Continue reading Water is a poor substitute for chocolate…

Memoirs of a Teenage Worker (PART 1)
Summer is now over and it is only now that I am back at university that I realise how much of it I spent working. Over the years I have had a lot of jobs. I got my first job when I was just fourteen.

University: to go or not to go?
I feel like I entered the pre-university process with a lackluster attitude. Education is really valued in my family therefore going to university felt like a given and the prospect of not going was not even on the table let alone discussed. I do not at all resent this because university was definitely the best option… Continue reading University: to go or not to go?
Not my worst day…

Do you like cake?

Often I act as though I have a duty that has been bestowed on me by some celestial power to fill silence. This might sound very dramatic, but this description does not even cover the… Continue reading Do you like cake?
Here’s looking at you, fresher…
Going to university was like going to war. Or at least, that is how I treated it. I meticulously prepared every last detail and made sure everyone around me was in check to ensure nothing went wrong. I even had contingency plans in place for when I or others inevitably messed up. I was NOT leaving my… Continue reading Here’s looking at you, fresher…
