(Diss)pairing over my education
Scarlett Parr-Reid, Print Science Editor, shares her feelings of anxiety surrounding her dissertation deadlines I have always been astounded by the ability of past me to be overly ambitious and make decisions which I would later regret. I mean, writing one 6000-word dissertation is not enough, right? How about two? Having written one and enduring […]
4 people you’ll almost definitely work with in a group project
If you’re experienced with seminars, you’ll know that where you sit in the first few weeks can be crucial. Yes, this insane high school rhetoric can still be at large even at university. But not for popularity points, oh no, if only it were that simple. It is a matter of survival. The survival of […]
Term two blues
Over half way into term two and it’s feeling…long. We’ve come down from the high of the New Year and settled in to new timetables and work being flung at us from all angles. And for those with dissertations still to write? Don’t even start. Excited to see your housemates again after the holiday? Think […]

But haven’t we all been in a similar position? Occasionally for some, perhaps all of the time for others and never for a blessed few, work gets […]
Music: A student’s best friend?
In a world dominated by social media and seven second videos that you simply have to see because “you will die of laughter”, it’s hard to actually sit down and get work done sometimes. Particularly for students who are surrounded by pinging notifications and absorbing newsfeeds, the distracting allure of Facebook is one that can […]
My third year bucket list
So, I’m now reaching the twilight moments of my English degree at Exeter University with only a few months left, and I’ve actually managed to squeeze in a few activities in between all the books, banter and booze (at least one of those is actually true). For those of you who don’t know me, I’m the […]
