My appetite for reading is as insatiable as ever, and I've recently devoured a host of coming-of-age titles, from Barnes' The Sense of an Ending to McEwan's On Chesil Beach and a whole lot more. One overriding theme I've stumbled upon is this idea of young adults waiting for their life to start, and by … Continue reading Waiting for adulthood to start at 23
18 years. That's how long I've spent in education. That's a LONG time, right?! And a week ago I had my last e v e r exam. Ever. It was on Young Adult Gothic fiction and didn't go nearly as well as the previous one on Postmodern Genders, but that's all in the past now … Continue reading I’VE FINISHED UNI!!!
I have two quick topics to talk about in this blog post- this pretty cool little edit of a photo and what I used to make it, and then how I recently had (maybe) the last student Wednesday night out at uni ever?

The nearest city is Kleve, but for this adventure I was going to Dortmund with my German friend Andreas. He […]
Some may say I haven't spent enough time in the city to write a post such as this, but five days was easily enough time to find five things I loved! The subway stations are works of art! (This is the only picture in this post that I don't own.. Credits for this photo go … Continue reading 5 Things I Love About Stockholm
I've realised I write a lot about what I'm up to, but I've never really talked about myself. So every now and then I'm going to post a little something a touch more personal, starting with the contents of my room. I currently live in a student block called Vossenveld in Nijmegen, Netherlands, so if … Continue reading Get To Know Me: My Room
