So here it is. The last week back to University for this year, or for life for some. Coming back to University after Easter means no more lectures; it means a lot of free time, where we have hardly any responsibilities, apart from paying bills and revision (duh!), but students are experts at working around …read more

DOs and DON’Ts of coursework.
It took me over two weeks of doing nothing to recover from the not-sleeping-till-i-finish-this-coursework phase I was in at the end of term. Luckily, after spending another sleepless night with my theories of self, I managed to complete, print off and hand in two 4000 word pieces of coursework by Wednesday morning – a day …read more
Who needs sleep when there is coursework to do?!
It’s Tuesday, 5:45am and I haven’t slept in over 20 hours. I guess I have done it again. I procrastinated. I procrastinated big time! However, the good news is that I have now completed 3 out of 4 pieces of a four thousand word portfolio. Bad news is that the last piece is actually the …read more
The end is near (but let’s not be too dramatic)
It recently dawned on me that my University experience is coming to an end. Who would’ve thought, right? I mean, I was aware of this since the beginning of Year 3 (or Level 6 as they now call it), but now that the moment has come I can’t help but feel that the past three …read more
Done and dusted.
It is the 3rd of March and I’m proud to announce that my dissertation is printed, bound and on my desk since Friday, together with all additional materials, ready to be handed in tomorrow – ONE FULL DAY before the actual deadline! And that is quite an achievement, especially for a person who usually finishes …read more
Fifth of March.
Yes. That’s my dissertation deadline and it’s approaching a little too fast if you ask me. But in reality, I have to hand in a draft in 10 days, which means I have even less time to do it. Strangely enough, I feel quite calm about it and I will not analyse it further because …read more
Final year and the post-graduation plans.
I would like to take this opportunity to wish everybody a very happy new year! In the Mayan history (yes, I’m really going for this…) end of a calendar doesn’t predict end of the world, but predicts big changes, so I pronounce the year of 2013, the Year of Change. Let’s all take this opportunity …read more
Christmas break.
So Christmas is finally here! I was really looking forward to the break, but when I think about how much work I need to be doing over the three suposedly free weeks, it makes me sad… The last week of term was busy, but I actually had a lot of fun. On Tuesday I did …read more
Dissertation.
I feel bad for not writing anything here for such a long time, but dissertation preparation took all my time. It’s all fun and games until you get to the 3rd year; that’s when the hard work really starts. I had the entire summer to come up with an idea for my dissertation, to re-think …read more
The Final Year
So here I am, a 3rd year Psychology student, about to start the work on my dissertation, and the next graduation at the University of Portsmouth will be MINE. The time really flies and you don’t realise until you get to the point where I am right now. A 3-year undergraduate course my seem like …read more
