HOW I SPENT 72 HOURS IN THE HUNGARIAN CAPITAL, BUDAPEST.

Friday 30 September 2016

I know it's been a while since my last blog post, which is mainly due to the fact that I still don't have wifi in my new flat because a certain X Factor sponsor is taking their time to resolve the issue, so here I am at sat at the University library on a Friday to write this post. If you follow me on social media you may have noticed I spent a couple of days in beautiful Budapest last week before cracking on with my final year of university, and boy was it marvellous! I'd wanted to visit this place ever since I watched Katy Perry's music video for Firework and 6 years later I finally made a point of doing it. So here are my highlights from the trip and some of my recommendations!

12 REALISATIONS OF BECOMING A FINAL YEAR UNIVERSITY STUDENT.

Tuesday 20 September 2016

It's been a while since I've written a long winded blog post as I decided to take a short break from blogging but seeing as I'm currently living in an empty flat with no wifi (yay for hotspots), I thought I'd stop scrolling on Instagram and write about my current situation that is, becoming a fourth year. For the first time in four years it's actually felt a bit bittersweet returning to Bournemouth, perhaps because I spent the last year on placement and the semester prior to that in Florida, so referencing and writing a dissertation is the last thing I want to be doing right now. It's also the first time I've felt pretty homesick and during this time especially I just wish I could be at home with my family (and friends). Any how, let's get on with the point of this post! 

EXPERIENCING AN AFTERNOON TEA CRUISE ON THE THAMES*

Monday 19 September 2016

Who doesn't love a good afternoon tea? I must say this is something that I've been enjoying more often since I moved to the UK 3 years ago as of course, it is part of the culture. While there are a lot of theories relating to how the quintessential, British ritual of afternoon tea first started, the one considered true by most experts on Brit culture is that it was started by the 7th Duchess of Bedford, Anna Russel in the early 1800's. During her time period, it was common to only have two meals a day: an early morning breakfast and late evening dinner. 

SUMMER EDITION | MY FAVOURITE READS OF 2016 SO FAR

Tuesday 13 September 2016

Summer is definitely the time I manage to get through the most books simply because I get bored of sunbathing at the beach for more than an hour and I spend more time on planes and trains. I never tend to do individual book reviews as frankly I'm not a woman of many words when it comes to analysing them, but I guess a seasonly blog post would work just fine. So here are some of the books I've picked up this summer which I would definitely recommend!
