September Update: Guess who’s back? Back again…
Read more: September Update: Guess who’s back? Back again…What happened? Well, university happened. It turns out when you slightly maybe procrastinate your dissertation research and it gets to August you panic and spend most of the time you’re awake thinking about it, or feeling guilty for not doing more on it. But now, as of yesterday’s hand-in, I am done. Officially done. I…

Monday 8th June | 22:30
Read more: Monday 8th June | 22:30I’ve been wanting to do something similar for a few weeks now but put it off because I thought that I don’t have the artistic skills or creative knack or way with words to do this quite as much aesthetic justice as I would like to. But you know what? Fuck it. You heard that right,…

“Guilty Pleasures” & “The Canon”
Read more: “Guilty Pleasures” & “The Canon”This video comes off the back of me watching Lindsey Rey’s video on the topic of guilty pleasures, a category which she identifies as being frequently applied to a books series she enjoys – the Vampire Academy series. I would certainly recommend you go watch the video because she’s great! “Guilty pleasure” is a phrase that I occasionally…

Musings: Easter on Campus
Read more: Musings: Easter on CampusThe Easter vacation on campus is an odd time. Walking about there’s never very many people, which is isolating and yet somehow creates a sense of community between the people left. It’s such a change from the 10-to-the-hour, like-clockwork rush of people going north and south up the spine of campus. The main square still has…

March in Review ¦ The Semi-Serious Stuff
Read more: March in Review ¦ The Semi-Serious StuffI thought today seeing as how it is the last day of March would be the optimum time to take a look back on some things that have happened this past month. Because I don’t document enough of my life, boring though it is, and whilst something incredibly mundane might be all that I have…

Discussion: University & Competitive Learning Environments
Read more: Discussion: University & Competitive Learning EnvironmentsOnce again, Emma read something flippantly on her Facebook and then ended up spiralling off into a moment or two of self-absorbed musings and reminiscences. Feel free to ignore this, eventually I’ll write something light and cheerful about books again! A couple of introductory remarks so as not to alarm anyone. Firstly, I have categorically…

Discussion: “I felt like my voice wasn’t worth hearing”
Read more: Discussion: “I felt like my voice wasn’t worth hearing”“For myself, for a long time… maybe I felt inauthentic or something, I felt like my voice wasn’t worth hearing, and I think everyone’s voice is worth hearing. So if you’ve got something to say, say it from the rooftops.” (Tom Hiddleston) We live in an age of instant communication. An age of relative freedom…

Discussion: The Future
Read more: Discussion: The FutureScary blog title, huh? Scary topic to be honest though so it fits perfectly. I don’t know what I want to do with my life. That felt good to admit. I have zero clue what I want to do with my life. I know what in an ideal, ideal world what I would want to…

University Woes: Essays, Procrastination, Worth
Read more: University Woes: Essays, Procrastination, WorthI have 2 x 5,000 word module essays to complete. At this very moment I have 3245 words of one, and precisely 0 of the other. I am enjoying a good bit of Taylor Swift at full volume – along with dramatic singing and interpretive dance moves obviously – and a nice cup of coffee.…

It’s beginning to look a lot like… the end of term?
Read more: It’s beginning to look a lot like… the end of term?In response to the question quite crudely created by the addition of a question mark at the end of some seasonally appropriate butchered song lyrics: well, no, not really. Let me explain. I have had one deadline this term. One. Let that just sink in for a moment. Not only that, I have taken modules…
