Christmas went by very fast and now seems so far gone! Work has mounted on me this term and to be honest I’m not very pleased with my results. So far I have passed but not with flying colours, think it’s time to change that! I guess it’s true what they say; First Year is a …read more

Second Year!
Well, I love Pompey but I am a bit disappointed with the number of uni buses provided. Once every 20 minutes isnt really enough for us lot far out of the city centre. Living near to Fratton Park has highlighted it’s difficulties as well as its strengths. For example, I feel there are not enough buses …read more
Back in Pompey …
Second Year is here, I have just moved into my house (yesterday) and its been interesting. We have learnt alot in a small space of time. For me, I did it all on my own, I packed all my stuff over August, trying to decrease the amount of stress that comes with moving. I recommend …read more

Oh the things ….
It’s been a crazy couple of days, lets start at the beginning… Having your parents at university is always a bit strange. They don’t quite fit in. I took my parents on a FREE walking tour around my newly hometown of Portsmouth. I made it all myself and tired to put in key tourist attractions …read more
Live Life to the Full
Semester two is awesome! You know where buildings are, where to hang out, the best clubs, everything! You’ve got to terms with the University lifestyle and understand the format now, so it’s focus time. A lecturer told me something the other day which I feel needs to be passed on – “First year doesn’t count …read more
Stress!
Exams are not fun for anyone and yet most of us have to do them. This week I am lucky enough to have all my exams one after the other, get them out of the way. Well sort of … this week is a nightmare. All I seem to be doing this week, is eating, …read more
