The realisation just hit me that I do not have long left until my third and final year of university is over. My last deadline is on the 9th May which is in 10 weeks and I have one exam afterwards then that's it. I'll be done with university. You don't realise how quickly your final year of university goes by. As soon as you reach the end of February that's when it suddenly becomes real that you don't have a lot of time left. Granted there is a lot of work which still needs to be done in those ten weeks but it's kind of scary. I submitted my fourth assignment of third year on Tuesday so I ended up checking to see what my next deadline was and it turns out to be my dissertation in April. Yeah. The big dissertation. The one that every third year dreads and it's my next deadline. After that I have four assignments and an exam but still. That's when it really hit me that I don't have long left until my third year is over. It's both sad and excit...

We're already ten days into February and I've only just now made a blog post. I do have an excuse though which you may already know what it is from the title of this blog post. Third year of university is probably the most stressful year of them all and that's because it's a lot more pressure this year. By the end of third year, all the marks in my assignments goes towards my degree which is kind of the whole point of uni in the first place to get a degree. Anyway, I'm doing advertising and media studies which many people (the ones who have no idea) think is an easy degree. It's not. It's still just as hard as any other degree. No degree is easy to get. You have to work hard to get it. I have essays and reports to write, I have advertising campaigns to make and I have to complete six advertising briefs while on top of that write a 10,000 word dissertation. All the while not trying to have a mental breakdown and I also need time to eat, sleep, socialise ...

As you all know (I may or may not have mentioned it several times on this blog) I'm in my third and final year of university. I still can't quite believe to be honest how fast it's going. I mean it's nearly November. Then I'll have 8 months left. That's crazy. I have my reading week next week so I'm actually going home for a week which is very exciting. A little break from lectures. Although I will be doing work over the week so it's not a complete break from uni. If you are not aware I am studying Advertising and Media Studies Ba (Hons) Degree and this year I have three Advertising modules, one Media Studies module and one Media Studies Dissertations. All together I have eight assignments, one exam and one dissertation to do. It doesn't seem like a lot of work but there's a lot of work involved in each of the assignments and of course there's the 10,000 word dissertation on top of all my assignments. Fun times. I'm a tiny bi...

Hello readers, Sorry I haven't really blogged much this week but I've been busy trying (and failing) to organise my life. As you may notice from the title I am back in university. Well, it's still Freshers Week at the moment but still I'm in my university house ready for my third and final year. I haven't really done much for Freshers Week because my housemates have placements and none of the events really interested me. On Tuesday there was meant to be a foam party with Kem from Love Island but they cancelled the foam for next Wednesday (my birthday actually) but Kem from Love Island still came for a meet and greet so I got a photo with him which was pretty cool. It's not everyday you meet someone you watched on the telly. Anyway, me and my friends still had a dance and afterwards we got food as our student bar has a burger van outside of it which is literally the best thing ever. So yeah, I also went to the Freshers Fair and got loads of freebies whic...

As you may know, this year I am in my third and final year of university and I thought I'd might set myself a few goals for me to achieve so when it comes to finishing my third year I can recap my year and whether or not I've achieved these goals over the year. 1.  Get a part time job Now this might seem really random to you all but honestly I really want to get a part time job. Over the past two years of being at university I did not get myself a part time job and I feel like that's held me back. The reason I didn't get a part time job is my student loan pretty much covered all my finances and I didn't feel like I needed the extra money. In reality though a part time job is kind of useful as you gives you experience of work as well as earning extra money. I plan to put the money I earn and put it in my savings account which will then go towards my future for life after university. I figured you need money to be able to do what you want to do for life after un...

At the end of this month, I'll be heading back to university to start my third and final year of university. It is crazy that two years ago I was getting ready to head to my first year of university. Nobody lies when they say university flies by because it really does. This is like the most important year out all of them because these assignments all add up to your degree and determines what grade you'll get. It's also about figuring out what you're going to do after university which is something I'm not even sure I know yet but I'll have to figure it out and do my research. It's all the year of the dreaded ten thousand word dissertation which I am already freaking out about and I haven't even begun it yet. Although I have started coming up with ideas and questions to do for it. I'd recommend you do this before starting your third year because at least in the first lecture you can tell your tutor your ideas and then they'll let you know ...

Hello again. I know. I know. It's been a while. My last post was back in April so having a four month break from blogging was not intentional. I'm not entirely sure as to why I took this blogging break. I had so many ideas for this blog in the summer and I just didn't really get around to writing them down. I couldn't find the words and what I was writing I just felt like it wasn't good enough. Countless times I came back to this blog and made a post that I would write about my absence and say stuff like I've written loads of new posts ready to go up so I can get back into the blogging game but honestly I hadn't written anything. Well I've written some things but it just wasn't complete or ready to be published onto the blog. I would have been lying to myself and this blog. That's why I never posted those posts about returning to blogging because I knew in my mind I wasn't ready to come back to blogging. It's not that I hate blog...
