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 […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 32
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Learning Mandarin intensively | My Experience
I am currently six weeks through university and the majority of what I have been doing is learning Latin intensively. I have one hour every single day at 9am sharp (apart from Thursdays, thank god for Thursdays!) with a class of about ten others. Studying Latin intensively makes me reflect on my time studying Mandarin intensively. […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 15
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that Oxford really does throw you into the deep end with work. The transition between freshers’ week and term starting was non-existent. Freshers’ at our college started on Tuesday 4th and by Saturday 9th people were already in the library getting work done (yes, Oxford gave us […]
