What is Graduate Life Really Like?

Walking onto the stage to collect your degree is at the peak of your aspirations, it’s the mountain top you’ve been trekking up for years and the moment is somewhat of a blur (mainly because you’re focussed on not face planting in the heels).  Everyone is excited/anxious/sad to be closing the wonderful chapter that is [...]

To be physically fitand active, and eat a healthy balanced diet. And mentally fit, whereby (to avoid [...]

University Life … In GIFs

Hi everybody! Today's blog is all about University... in GIF's. When the lecturer reads off of the powerpoint #whyamievenhere Deadlines. After I complete deadlines. Realising you did the wrong readings. Sitting next to 'that person' who knows everything and wants to debate everything too.  Putting the bins out and realising your flat live like animals.
