The first post of 2018 – and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to write! Here’s a lil life update for all of you… If we were having coffee, I would tell you that my exams start in five weeks’ time. And that terrifies me. It was only this morning that it really hit … Continue reading
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I’m back in Oxford and it’s the start of 3rd week already. Where is the time going?! I’m absolutely loving being back and my room this year is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l so I’m trying to make the most of it. There will be a room tour up on YouTube … Continue reading
“You were on your Gap Year last year?! It feels like years ago now!” Those were the words of my sister a few days ago. It really doesn’t feel like it was last year and I’m going to keep saying this, but did it even happen? One thing that confirms that it did is what being … Continue reading
The last time I was on a plane which was more than a couple of hours was my flight back from Beijing last June. I spent most of the flight sleeping and resenting the fact that I was flying back home after a seven-month trip. I really, really didn’t want to get off that plane … Continue reading
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that I am halfway though my first year at university which is not only crazy (no setiously, where has the time gone?!), but it’s also kinda sad {not to mention also slightly terrifying…}. I’m really loving it here and I don’t like how fast time is … Continue reading
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*), … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
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 … Continue reading
I was scrolling down my Tumblr feed and stumbled across this quote: “Don’t live the same year 75 times and call it a life.” – Robin Sharma And it really resonated with me. There was something about that specific moment that I read it, something about the time and place and something about how it … Continue reading
This, along with Go hard or go home, is my new mantra. Today, a notification from the Countdown App popped up on my phone: D2 Exam is 3 months away! Now this might not mean a lot to any of you but, for me, my D2 exam marks the end of A levels. In exactly three months, … Continue reading
