TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF AT UNIVERSITY & KEEPING A POSITIVE STATE OF MIND.
Wednesday, 17 January 2018
Every university student can probably refer you to a time where they've been sat crying in bed with 10 sheets of paper in front of them and two cups of coffee. University might be the best years of your life, but that's not to say it doesn't come with its hardships and blood, sweat and tears (slight exaggeration). It's so easy to get caught under the workload and feel like you physically and mentally can't cope anymore and with it being Mental Health Day last week, I wanted to make this post to highlight how your state of mind is just as important as your physical wellbeing. Having dealt with depression in the past, I know the worst thing you can do is not tell anyone what's going on and just try to keep going on with your day to day life even though its killing you inside, or locking yourself up in your room and staying in bed all day. I know this post won't solve every problem, but I hope it can give you a little pick me up when you need it!
WHY LIFE AFTER YOU GRADUATE CAN BE YOUR BEST YEARS YET.
Saturday, 15 July 2017
It's been a month since I left Bournemouth University and now I've been left in limbo, despite setting myself a list of goals for the year. As with most of you graduates, I'm sure you've been bombarded with the "so what's next?" "when are you getting a job?" "where are you going to be living?" "the fun is over now, what next?" questions, and it's okay to say, I don't have a bloody clue mate.
UNIVERSITY DEGREE DONE AND DUSTED, NOW WHAT NEXT?
Friday, 19 May 2017
I am currently sat in bed listening to Lana Del Rey with a glass of Lidl white wine, and it still hasn't sunk in yet that my 4 years at university are over. In that time I've spent a semester living in Florida, a year working in London and a lot of time in bed watching movies, hence this list of movies recommendations for you. I'm going to save the reflecting for a bit later on, once I've left Bournemouth and it's actually hit me that I won't be seeing my friends daily anymore, or drinking caramel frappucino's in the library (there's no Starbucks in Gibraltar) or spending 3 hours in the downstairs room in Cameo. In Easter I kind of went through a quarter life crisis because I didn't know what I was going to do next with my life, I just have a fear of being bored and I never really like staying in the same place for a long time. So I decided to write this post thinking with a positive outlook and what I actually want to achieve in the months coming after finishing university.
GETTING THROUGH YOUR DISSERTATION, IT'S NOT AS SCARY AS IT SEEMS.
Sunday, 23 April 2017
Today I was struggling to think of what to talk to you guys about, but seeing as I spent an hour and a half trying to format my dissertation and keep everything from moving about on Word, I thought why not talk about what's been taking up most of my time the past couple of months. If you're a final year student you're probably reading this in hopes of finding some motivation for the last push, and if you're still yet to face your dissertation then fear not, it's not as scary as it's made out to be! Here are some of my tips for getting through your dissertation and not losing your mind in the process.
