♪♫ Marco Polo – China Lane ♪♬ I’ve neglected this blog and my little space on the internet ever since second year started. And it’s not just because the workload has more than doubled. I’ve said it before, but it upsets me to see my drafted posts sitting there unedited and unpublished; it upsets me to see […]
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 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. […]
Missing.
I don’t usually get involved with The Daily Post’s One-Word Prompt… It happened on a Thursday night – one of those standard, typical Oxford nights out at the sweaty, overly-packed club that is Bridge.

This differs significantly from […]

We wear sub fusc (black gowns, white shirts, black skirt/trousers, ribbon/bow tie etc. – it basically means dark formal clothing in Latin), carry our mortarboard (for we’re not allowed to wear them until we graduate […]
Bali in a Nutshell | Gap Year Travel
For some frequent readers of my blog, it’s probably quite strange that it’s taken me this long to write a sole post about Bali. You see, I had a love-hate relationship with Bali and I’ve thought about writing a post before now but I just had other things I wanted to write about more. But I’m […]
12 Ways to De-Stress
In the past couple of weeks, saying I’m a little bit stressed out would definitely be an understatement. I’ve been rushing around like a headless chicken trying to buy and prepare the things I’ll need to take to university, organise my blog and my YouTube channel, socialise and catch up with friends, do my university prep […]
