Recipe | Fancy Pie – The Student Interpretation

I said that this year I was going to do a lot more recipe posts on my blog, so here I am back at it again with another!  So far, the two that I've done have been very quick and easy student recipes, however sometimes you want something a little fancier... A little more homely... …

Student Survival Secrets (AD)

Being a student is stressful enough as it is, and though many tell us that we should be grateful for our "few hours" and free time, the actuality is that the time is not as free as one might think.  I find myself constantly busy with something, whether it's pre-reading, post-lecture note taking, extra-curriculars, internship, or just …

The Most Difficult Lesson I’ve Learnt in University so Far

Since I started University I've been learning a lot more about myself.  I know there are so many cliche "Best years of your life" talks and countless coming of age University movies, and honestly I can see why because they really are years where you grow as a person.  However, the lessons you take to get that growth …

Demotivation & How to Combat It

I feel like it's the time of year where everyone just feels a little demotivated; It's prime essay time, almost exam time for some and we're all just waiting for the Christmas holidays to hurry up and arrive. For the first time this year I can feel myself losing my motivation and it's, well... a lot more stress …

I’m Growing Up I Guess?

I had no idea what to write for today's post, but I knew that I wanted to sit down and write something, so I figured why not have a little ramble and get the things on my mind onto a page (or, you know... screen).   You see, I mentioned in my project 2017 update that I've …

Project 2017 | Second Year: 1 Month In

So I was supposed to post yesterday (first upload I've missed in a couple of months wow) but my WiFi extender stopped working and in all honestly I have been ridiculously busy since Uni started so I took the WiFi issues as a sign that I needed a break.  That's fair enough, right? I know I've been posting really regularly, and …

DIY (Uni) Room Decor

As I mentioned in my favourites post last week, I've been really into DIY recently...  My new Uni room is probably the biggest room I've ever owned so I've been filling the space with as many homemade decorations as possible.  Finding DIY's that don't like incredibly "handmade" (you know what I mean) can be hard sometimes, …

Second Year – Goals, Thoughts & Life Update

It's a new year of Uni with a catch: this year actually counts towards my future.  Most would find this terrifying, (most includes me), but there's a little part of me that thinks it makes everything I'm doing seem more... worth it.   You see, with everything that's been going on in my personal life since around March …

Uni Week: University Q&A

To mark the final post of my (somewhat disjointed) Uni Week, I figured I would answer I few questions I received both about University in general and my personal experience with University.  I received some really great questions, some of which I think will be fun to answer because I've never really thought about them before.  Therefore, without further ado …

Uni Week: University Shopping List

I feel like at University a lot of people fear having to cook for themselves.  I personally never had this problem because I cooked a lot at home, but for a lot of my flatmates this was their first time having to cook all of their own meals, and it can be a little daunting.  However, there are …
