"I don't go on red carpets. If a photographer ever shouted out "who are you wearing?" I'd be like, "Me mam's top, me mate Sarah's jeans and some shoes from the TopShop sale." I'm always on the look out for new opinion pieces written by 21st century women. They not only help to reassure me that my life isn't meant to be together...

I'm writing this post fresh off the back of digesting the goings on at the annual NUS (National Union Of Students) Conference. 9 times out of 10, I agree with or understand the angle at which NUS members are coming from.

I have a debit card. I have the remnants of this terms student loan. Paperchase has an end of season sale... I spent some money... But it was totally worth it for the cute little bits and pieces I found! Ooooh stationary! I am always looking for ways to hold pages in books for essays, so I picked up some beautiful London themed...

As the end of my second year approaches, I've been reflecting on my university experience so far. Yes I could spend hours boring you with my academic progress and my mental well-being, but instead let me tell you 5 strange things I've seen on campus this past year and a half - things that could only happen at uni. 100+ Sports Team Members...
