Now that I’ve graduated, waves of emotion keep coming over me. It’s the little things that keep hitting me: I was sorting out some old clothes for charity and found myself throwing out my “shit shirts” and costumes when it dawned on me that I wasn’t a student anymore, and what on Earth will I be doing with my Wednesdays because I won’t be going to another Social? Don’t get me wrong, I am so…

That Graduation Feeling …

As I was walking down that red carpet and shaking the Dean’s hand, everything else in the world disappeared. I couldn’t hear anything in the background, only him congratulating me on my hard work and dedication. It was as if I had this tunnel-vision and it was all happening in slow motion. There was no feeling like it. Graduation day was the proudest moment in my life so far.

We’re such creatures of habit, aren’t we? We tend to shop at the same shops, order the same coffee at the same coffee shop and stick to the same workouts, all around the same time! Tell me honestly, when was the last time you pushed yourself completely out of your comfort zone?

For me, it was yesterday, and I’ve never felt so liberated! For months now, one of my close friends has tried to get me…

This book has been on my ‘to-read’ list since it’s publication in 2015, but I’ve never had the guts to pick it up and buy it, which is mostly to do with my fear of confronting myself.

Book Review: Fearne Cotton, Calm.

I asked for this book for Christmas with the intention of reading more self-help, positive thinking, de-stress books to try and put my mind at ease from all of the business in my life. The book is laid out much like her debut, Happy, with chapters such as ‘Calm Family’, ‘Calm Mind’, and ‘Calm Body’; within these chapters are small bite sized sections, so it is so easy to put down at any…

This week’s read was ‘Sapiens’ by Yuval Noah Harari. I first heard of this book from my favourite podcast, ‘Adulting’. It’s difficult to put this book into words, and honestly, it’s taken me since September to finish it (mostly due to the book being very heavily scientific and educational, and to balance all of this new information with my degree it’s taken a longer time for me to process it…

This week’s read is ‘Everything I Know About Love’ by Dolly Alderton. Her powerful début weaves together personal stories, satirical observations and recipes for relationships that women of every age can relate to. In her memoir, Dolly vividly recounts falling in love, wrestling with self-sabotage, finding a job, throwing a socially disastrous Rod-Stewart themed house party, getting drunk,…
