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 […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 22
If we were having coffee, I would tell you that this term ends next Saturday. Next Saturday?! It’s insane how fast this term has gone but, at the same time, I’ve actually done so much and barely remember the first few weeks (they seriously feel like they were months ago). I have an incredibly busy week lined up: Law […]
Turning Twenty
My twentieth birthday was probably one of the best birthdays I’ve ever had (if not the best) and that is mainly down to two incredible girls who I absolutely adore and couldn’t thank enough. My birthday is always something that I don’t necessarily look forward to anymore, particularly because it’s increasingly become more difficult for me on a […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 21
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 […]
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 […]
If We Were Having Coffee… | Vol. 20
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*), […]
Christmas Blogger Gift Swap 2016 | #apovgiftswap
I was so excited to re-launch my Christmas Blogger Gift Swap this year and received an overwhelming response with 49 bloggers signing up to take part! I was paired with Natalie from What You Didn’t Know and it’s been absolutely lovely getting to know her! After exchanging text messages and sending (and receiving) a long list […]
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 […]
twenty-sixteen in review and what it has taught me
I cannot believe an entire year has passed yet again -where is the time going?! Cue all of the “2016 in Review” blog posts and “2017 New Year Resolutions” as everyone begins to settle down and reflect on the past year. And I’m just about to jump on the bandwagon I’m afraid… Twenty Sixteen. Aside […]
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 […]
