Over the course of many conversations with sixth form students, I realised that one of the things deterring them from taking a Gap Year was starting university a year late. For a lot of the people I spoke to, many were adamant that they were going to start the year with peers of their own […]
Reflection: Trinity Term & First Year | Uni Diaries
It’s been exactly a month since my first year at the University of Oxford finished. I don’t really know how to feel about it, if I’m perfectly honest. It doesn’t feel like one quarter of my degree is over; it doesn’t feel like first year is over. Trinity Term & First Year Reflection I think […]
Oxford Law Society Ball at Hedsor House | Uni Diaries
Not one to pass up the opportunity of going to a ball, I {of course} ended up balloting for the Law Society’s summer term ball. This was held at Hedsor House & Gardens and, believe me, this venue is the definition of a blogger’s dream. Hedsor House photo credits: Oliver Robinson Photography I was again lucky […]
New College Boat Party | Uni Diaries
A couple of weeks ago, New College had its annual Boat Party on the River Thames. This year’s theme was Casino, with the dress code being, ‘Black with a hint of red‘. This was the first black-tie event of term in my calendar and we were all looking forward to dressing up and escaping leaving Oxford for […]
RAG Garden Party | Uni Diaries
Two weeks ago, in the gorgeous twenty four degrees heat, Oxford’s RAG (Raise and Give) hosted a Garden Party in Oxford’s very own University Parks. The afternoon promised to be filled with afternoon tea, croquet, live music and cocktails. The best part was that it was all in the name of charity – what more […]
Reflection: Hilary Term | Uni Diaries
If you haven’t read my reflection on my first term at university then head over here first before you continue reading. Hilary term (the fancy name given to second term at Oxford) flew by; it was gone almost in the blink of an eye. And that scares me. This past term has been both good and bad […]
Oxford Law Society Ball | Uni Diaries
The Oxford Law Society put on a ball termly at some of the most beautiful locations over the country. Not one to miss a ball (I went to two last term), when I heard that this term’s one would be at The Roman Baths, I just had to ballot. We were incredibly lucky and were […]
Afternoon Tea with Browns
Picture this: you’re a student {and a broke student at that}. You’re completely and utterly stressed out. You just want to chill out and drink tea. And cake. You definitely want to eat cake. Got that image in your head? Right… well this was me a couple of weeks ago. I was seriously ready for the […]
A Week in the Life of an Oxford Student | Uni Diaries
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 […]
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 […]
