This will be my third try at a blog post. I've been trying and failing to write over the last few weeks: I had this grand idea that I'd start writing daily throughout this global pandemic. I was going to call the chapter 'A blog a day to keep the blues at bay'. But every … Continue reading I just don’t feel right
Heyyou, Believe it or not, it's me. I'm you. Okay, well that's confusing. You'll be sad to know I'm not famous yet. There's still a big part of me that just wants to get up on stage every day and sing my heart out, but no, unfortunately that is not what I'm doing. Good news … Continue reading A letter to my younger self
It is more than anyone will ever tell you it is. They tell you it is hard work, when in reality it is more difficult than you can imagine and at times so stressful giving up is more tempting than pressing a big red button that has danger written all over it. Therefore they tell … Continue reading Studying at degree level is more
As I wrote my dissertation I fell gradually in love with India, its history and with the story of Dr. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar. Dip in and out if you please. Read as much or as little as you want. My only hope is that I can draw at least a little attention towards Ambedkar; a man whose story should serve as inspiration to all of us.
During the last week of the Easter break, home became just wonderful enough to ensure that leaving it again would be as difficult as ever. I'm back in Cardiff now and until recently, I was feeling very sorry for myself. For the first time this year, I'd had a meltdown and it felt like my … Continue reading Time to conquer life
Having just spent five whole minutes sat in the middle of my bedroom floor wondering where on Earth I am supposed to begin, I am beginning to wonder whether I will ever get used to this whole 'packing my bedroom into boxes' thing. If I'm honest, when I sit in my room deciding what to … Continue reading The day before the day I go back to university
Sat at my desk doing nothing other than daydreaming out of my window and singing along to my shuffling iTunes library. There is so much I should be doing. My room looks like a small bomb hit it. I'm sat next to a pile of books so high I'm surprised I managed to transport it … Continue reading Expert Procrastinator
I feel like my heart never stops beating too fast and the butterflies are back with a vengeance and that maybe this job wasn't such a good idea after all. The first week that I had to juggle lectures and work shifts I spent so focused on getting to where I needed to be that, … Continue reading Part time Sale Assistant, full time student
It felt like the entirety of my weekend at home had been nothing more than a dream when I woke up this morning; the horribly stressful journey back to Cardiff being the disastrous ending that finally woke me up. It feels like I went to sleep after the Halloween party last Thursday and I've been … Continue reading There’s no place like home
I should be the size of a hippo after eating everything I've eaten this week. I blame Papa Johns for tempting me with their 99p offer Tuesday night and Just Eat for making it so easy to order Chinese take away when you get home late on a Wednesday evening. My comfort food has become … Continue reading Hippo-size and Happy
