I love blogging but recently I've found it really hard. I work a standard 9-5, and whilst that doesnt necessarily leave me without spare time to write, it leaves me without spare time to do things to write about. Recently my blog posts have largely been thinkpieces or stuff I've been buying, which is fine, … Continue reading Blogging in full time employment
I love a good statistic. At the end of the year Spotify put out a Year In Music telling you how much you listened to and whatnot, and I thought it'd be fun to extend this to myself in general, so I've dug up a bunch of numbers that somehow relate to me... 23- My … Continue reading Myself, In Numbers…
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.

(There may be one more I go to?) If you're not interested … Continue reading Everything’s Ending…
I’m 21 but nowhere near an adult. I’m currently in university two days a week, and only one of those is an early start so pretty stereotypically I spend a lot of time in bed. On Fridays I have to be in for 9am and my alarm is set for 8.38.. I roll out of … Continue reading Today I ‘Adulted’…
I know the university year is just about over, but a whole year of students will be finding out whether they've got their grades pretty soon, so a uni post is always pretty useful, right? Before I started, three years ago now, I'd heard loads of stereotypes and things that were 'guaranteed' to happen to … Continue reading My Student Life- Fiction and Reality…
Living in Nijmegen means I’m pretty close to the German border. It’s actually possible to cycle there in only about an hour if you put pedal to the metal, unlike what Dan and I did recently. The nearest city is Kleve, but for this adventure I was going to Dortmund with my German friend Andreas. He […]
