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…
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. In the 'Memoirs of a Teenage Worker' series I will be focusing… Continue reading Memoirs of a Teenage Worker (PART 1)

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.

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?

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…
