Things you only learn at university
Connections. Meet as many people as you can because knowing someone that might benefit and help achieve your future career prospects will be useful. Your mum is your best friend. I don’t think you’ll appreciate how much your mum does for you until you move away to university. But, you can and will manage on…
What if you don’t make friends?
This post is for anyone who has settled into university life but is still struggling with finding and meeting new friends. University is a daunting time for anyone – especially when it comes to meeting new people but you must remember that there are people out there most likely in the same position as you….
Managing and relieving educational stress
Unfortunately, I don’t have Reading Week but I’m sure many of you do. Reading week is the perfect chance to catch up on work and reading that might have caught up on you during the weeks before. Second year is proving to be more challenging, in terms of the workload but not the actual content….

So this is really relatable to me now, as it is the second time that I am a fresher. Your first day in university is always daunting. It’s completely different to school because in school, you are assigned to a select group of people in what you would call a form and you will go…
Consider different options
Providing you read my last post, you will understand that I am unable to continue my studies at Reading University. As heartbreaking as this was, I decided that enough was enough and I had to move on to a new chapter in my life. I was never told that there is always an option or…
First year does count!
What I am going to discuss might sound like a pep talk that your parents would give but believe me, this is the one piece of advice that you should definitely take from my blog. I recently found out that I passed first year with an overall grade of a 2:1, however, I failed one…
