Most of the time, when people hear that I study at Oxford, the main thing they ask me is what my work is like and how my week looks. I weekly vlog over on my YouTube channel which gives a general idea of what my weeks look like but I thought I’d put it into […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 20
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I moved back to university! Today marks the end of First Week and it’s been a hectic past week. I didn’t start the term of that great because I was running on very little sleep and had way too many translations to get done (The Aeneid literally takes me hours! *cries*), […]
20 Things To Do Before 20
I know I’m posting this just over a month of me turning the big 2-0 but I thought it would be fun and interesting to see what things I manage to achieve. Plus, there are a couple of things I would like to say I had done before I waved goodbye to my teenage years. […]
Christmas Blogger Gift Swap 2016 | #apovgiftswap
I was so excited to re-launch my Christmas Blogger Gift Swap this year and received an overwhelming response with 49 bloggers signing up to take part! I was paired with Natalie from What You Didn’t Know and it’s been absolutely lovely getting to know her! After exchanging text messages and sending (and receiving) a long list […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 19
If we were having coffee, I’d tell you that I can’t believe we’ve almost had an entire week of 2017. Where did 2016 go?! I’ve had such a fabulous week already {I’ve spent lots of time journalling, finally starting my university work and indulging in lots of chocolate because why not!} Did you catch my 2016 […]
Goals for 2017
We’re three days into the New Year so I thought it’s about time I let you all know what my Goals are. I prefer to use this term rather than ‘Resolutions’ simply because I know that I will never stick to resolutions. Goals are more definable: goals are things that you can work towards, achieve […]
twenty-sixteen in review and what it has taught me
I cannot believe an entire year has passed yet again -where is the time going?! Cue all of the “2016 in Review” blog posts and “2017 New Year Resolutions” as everyone begins to settle down and reflect on the past year. And I’m just about to jump on the bandwagon I’m afraid… Twenty Sixteen. Aside […]
Reflection: Michaelmas Term | Uni Diaries
As the end of the year creeps closer and closer, I’ve just realised that I never did a post rounding up my first term at the University of Oxford. I can’t believe that I am 1/12th through my degree already. And that’s just because my degree is a four-year course! My friends are all 1/9th […]
Christmas 2016
After spending Christmas on Bondi Beach in sunny Australia last year, I was looking forward to being back home with my family this Christmas. I wasn’t most excited for the amount of presents under the tree or what everyone had bought me; I was most excited to spend time with my family. Christmas Day wasn’t “the […]
Relax. Slow down.
I’m writing this while I’m still in bed, still in my pyjamas and still bedridden. Yes, I’m bedridden. If you haven’t been following my Instagram or Snapchat accounts then you won’t know that I’ve just come back from a five-day entirely spontaneous trip to Kraków, Poland. It was absolutely incredible and I loved visiting such a beautiful […]
