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

“The last week back…”
By Maria on April 28, 2013 in Clubs and societies, Course, Exams, Free time, Future, Nightlife, Travels
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
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
Trip to Romania
This post is dedicated to the little trip to Romania I took towards the end of August. The reason I think it’s relevant to this blog is that I was actually visiting a friend that I have met at University! Because my summer plans did not work out, my friend Maria offered to have me …read more
In retrospect: University halls
My summer plans did not work out, which left me with a lot of free time to think back about my experiences regarding student accommodation. Having been at University for two years, I’ve experienced living in both Uni halls and rented student house. In this post I will concentrate on student halls, as this is …read more
Let the summer begin.
I cannot describe that feeling, when you get back home and you know you don’t have to get back to revision straight away. The feeling when you know you can now do anything you want. It’s a great feeling. Yes, I’ve finished my exams, and hence officially finished Year 2. Getting through the exam period …read more
I am the student that saves up.
Yes. I save up. But let me explain. Believe it or not, but I do actually have a social life and I do go out. But I find ways to make it affordable. Orange Wednesdays. Free entry before 10pm. 2 for 1 deals on drinks. Why spend more if you can spend less? I was …read more
Second year is tough
I knew second year wouldn’t be as easy as the first, but I didn’t realise how busy I’d be! I feel really bad for neglecting this blog lately, but the amount of work I had to go through consumed all my free time. Practicals. Doesn’t seem like a lot, since it’s the only pieces of …read more
No more exams
Ah, exams are finally over! To be honest, I shouldn’t be complaining because after I handed in all my coursework, I had just over 2 weeks to revise for exams, of which I had 2! But of course it wasn’t as easy as it seemed. The first exam, Biological Psychology, was a real pain. Although …read more
January of ’12
Yet again, I left everything till the last minute. I have three deadlines on Wednesday and hardly any work done. I’m dreading it. I can sense a couple of sleepless nights coming my way. Not to mention that I get easly distracted, which definitely doesn’t help. On a more positive note, summer plans are looking …read more
