The Reality of Living in an Instant Society

8th September 2017

The reality of living in an instant society is that we live in the age of fad diets, quick fixes, instant messenger, social networking, 24/7 live news updates. Everything we want to know, do, see, read, be, we are told we can instantly have. This is ingrained in us; text that person now to see […]

The Hoover Dam, Nevada

29th August 2017

As we drove from Las Vegas to the Grand Canyon we passed the Hoover Dam. You can’t see it from the road, you have to go down a very narrow steep road, through high security and park for the pleasure of seeing the dam. But it’s so worth it! The Dam impounds Lake Mead (which […]

A weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada

28th August 2017

So Las Vegas is like nowhere I’ve ever been before. We drove across from LA which took us around four hours through the desert and with Friday traffic, before out of nowhere in the middle of nothing was shiny Vegas BABY (said like Joey). There is no equivalent to Las Vegas in the UK, in […]

Los Angeles, California

25th August 2017

Hollywood Boulevard – Chinese Theatre, Dolby Theatre  This not only has all the Hollywood stars on the pavement but it is is also home to the Chinese theatre, […]

Reunion on the North Norfolk Coast

On Tuesday Becca and I woke up ridiculously to have a reunion on the North Norfolk Coast with Lucy. We were heading to the coast for an overdue catch up, sea air and of course, Fish and Chips. We drove inland and picked up Lucy from her idyllic house and then headed to Wells-Next-To-The-Sea. Wells […]

How to Prepare for Third Year

18th August 2017

First of all I feel writing a post called how to prepare for third year is slightly misleading, as I’m not sure I know how to prepare for third year. But over the past two years I’ve definitely learnt how to be prepared for a term. I’ve also learnt that it really back fires if you don’t […]

Exploring Yorkshire with Franky

27th May 2017

Franky and I love to procrastinate and explore Yorkshire, the further away we can get from our work the better, it seems. Our adventures began after exams, before that the most adventurous thing was a Gatehouse coffee revision sesh instead of going to the library to have a tuna mayo jacket potato, standard. So we […]

A Weekend in Oslo

13th April 2017

So I have been instaspamming everyone with numerous photos from my weekend in Oslo, but now I’ve finally written about it after returning to reality and attempting to do some revision (good luck Jess). The trip to Norway was for my birthday and it was an amazing weekend. I’m still so surprised we went made it as […]

Cut the crap

10th April 2017

Beth and I drunkly decided that one of our New Year’s resolutions for 2017 was to cut the crap. And so far, we’re both doing pretty well really. We basically wanted to cut the crap in all areas of our lives – the food, bad thoughts, bad people, bad events. We’d cut the crap. When […]
