Graduation
My Graduation last week signalled an end to University education and life for me. The past three years have been the most enjoyable of my life thus far, and I’ve maybe even learnt a thing or two along the way. All that I have now is a certificate, some great friends, and some even better [...]
Hello 2010
A New Year, as well as a new decade, is upon us. As we leave behind the annoyingly so-called ‘noughties’, perhaps now is a good time for reflection on the last ten years. For me, the last decade has been a big one, as I transformed from a 10 year old kid to the most [...]
Future Thoughts
Among leaflets about depression, letters about fire safety and other general crappy bits of paper Lancaster University crammed into my hands during Freshers Week over two years ago, I remember receiving a giant A3 poster. The poster outlined a three year plan, and thinking back it told me (it was a talking poster) that around [...]
He’ll Learn… Maybe
My University summer exam retakes never exactly went according to plan. Words like ‘fucking disaster’ came to mind immediately after sitting the retakes, and I was left cursing my awful exam preparation.

He’ll Never Learn!

Over the Exams
The Wednesday gone I had my last second year University exam. Finishing my exams has been something I have been looking forward to, surprisingly I much prefer sitting on my arse to revising. Unfortunately, I don’t think I have seen the back of those horrid exams just yet, and although I won’t be receiving my [...]
Sort of Not Home for Easter
That wonderful time of the year is upon me again. Exam time. I finished University for Easter some two weeks ago, but I have however remained in Lancaster rather than venturing home to Liverpool due to my SAS placement. The SAS? The ‘Special Air Service’? ‘Super Army Soldiers’? No, SAS in this case is an [...]
