For sure, my third year at University has been the best, but also the most challenging. I spent the first half of the year studying in Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam – which was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. You may think that this is entirely because I got the opportunity to live …
Developing a Website
This semester, I took some interesting modules; one of the most enjoyable being TW4006 - Writing for New Media. In this module, we had several assignments to complete, one being the construction of this blog, and the other major project being the development of our own website!

Exams this semester & some tips!
I guess there's a first time for everything... This semester (semester two of third year), I have no final exams! I discovered this when the semester began, and what a relief this news felt at the time! As the semester progressed, I realised that this wouldn’t be entirely to my benefit. With three weeks of …

I remember my first RAG week in February 2016, college was still a strange new environment for me and the lifestyle a thrilling new experience.

Back To Basics
This semester at college, I had the chance to choose from several elective modules, rather than having them assigned automatically. Among the list of electives was Colonial/Post-colonial Literature - this course immediate peaked my interest, and I was quick to select it as my first option for the 2019 Spring semester. If you're confused about …
