Right. Here it is: the post you’ve all been waiting for. It’s currently 2:25am on the final day of 2017, and I am ready to be brutally honest with every single one of you who’s taking the time to read this post right now – thank you, by the way, it really does mean a lot. […]
September Goals 2017
September brings with it the feeling of a fresh start, some kind of new chapter. After blogging about my July Goals, and quickly realising how I sucked at sticking to them, I’m back for another attempt. Let’s plunge into my goals for this month… SEPTEMBER GOALS Personal: 1) Go for a run once a week. […]
July Reflection 2017
So, how did I do with my July Goals? JULY REFLECTION Personal: 1) Go for a run 3x a week (and seriously this time). Okay, I admit it. I’m seriously bad with running and I don’t know why! I went for a total of one run the entire month. It’s so bad but I’m determined to […]
Postcards from Vilnius | Travel Diaries
Let me introduce a new favourite city of mine by sharing my very own ‘postcards’. Vilnius was a completely rogue travel decision on both mine and Jack’s part. We both wanted to travel somewhere that was cheap, in Europe, and somewhere we’d never been to before. The Baltic States made the cut, and we kinda […]
July Goals 2017
I’ve never really been into the whole ‘let me document my goals on my blog’ each month, but you know what? I think I’m going to hop on the bandwagon and join the likes of Kendel and Ella for my July Goals. I’m slowly beginning to realise that unless I physically document my goals and track […]

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 […]
I’M BACK – If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 26
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I have just launched my new blog! Have you noticed that I’ve now got rid of the wordpress.com at the end of my URL?! Not only have I purchased my own domain (hellooooo www.apieceofviola.com), but I’ve also gone self-hosted so keep your eyes peeled for some exciting […]
I’m Going Self-Hosted!
Hello my lovely blog readers, Today I woke up and I was searching some things up on Google, when I just decided that I wanted to take the plunge and go self-hosted today. I’m trying out this new routine where I can schedule blogging and YouTube in daily, and it seems to be working so far. […]
