First-year at university can be one of the best years of your life. All the fun and barely any responsibility. I mean “first-year doesn’t even count,” right? I don’t know how many times I heard that or even said that when I chose a night out over studying. Moving on to second-year can be daunting, so here’s what I found, and how I managed.

Last year I wrote the Summer Rewind post where I displayed what I’d been doing over the summer and seen as I’ve been MIA forever, I thought I would do Summer/Autumn Rewind, seen as its near winter. So without further ado, here’s my rewind. 1st of June I set off for my incredible adventure as a Program Specialist Councillor for Camp Roger in Utah. An amazing experience, something I will go into fine detail in separately. It was a long day of traveling but it was all worth it when I arrived. Nort

If you can’t tell by my excessive use of capitals, I will be returning to YMCA Camp Roger for my second summer. This means new memories, new adventures and that beautiful, beautiful tan (the important stuff). And now for the obvious question, how can you afford it? Good question. I’m a 19-year-old first-year student living in halls of residence that basically bankrupt me every term. Yay! Last year camp cost me around £2000. That makes me sad just looking at it. In fairness, the first year at ca

So, in September I moved 2 hours away to Liverpool to start University. I thought this was a great idea as I’d be independent, self-reliant and basically if it goes to shit I’ll have to deal with up. Sounds good right? Here is my Dating, Delaying, and Dollar, or lack of… Liverpool is a beautiful city, has to be my favourite in the UK now. EVERYTHING is so close, a short walk or bus ride and you’re there. It’s amazing. Not having to drive or pay so much for parking/petrol is a godsend. It also,

Welcome to your new favourite time of the week. Your day off. Being a summer camp counselor is an incredible opportunity, you’re able to impact so many lives in such a short amount of time. You’re in nature, disconnected from the real world for 7-10 weeks. You make new friends who you know you can rely on and be yourself with. But sometimes you need a day or two to rewind from the craziness that is summer camp. I get it. So here’s my list of some fun things you can do to enjoy those glorious day

This is my third time writing a summer rewind piece, for some reason I keep getting later and later, so now they are summer/autumn rewind, change is good, right? As this year has been such a crazy wild one, I’m going to do an autumn rewind as well (otherwise this blog would be much too long).

Summer camp is not the love island villa. A new bunch of sexy singles are not ready for the ultimate sizzling summer. So, here’s my guide to keeping it appropriate, while having an insane summer. • When you have worked way too long at camp, and someone who wouldn’t usually be your type suddenly looks very attractive in their purple crocs. Sports mode specifically.

No one is handling it better, don’t compare your emotional health with their Instagram story. There is no simple way to ‘handle’ this. I read an important quote (sadly don’t remember the author) but it was basically that you do not have to leave quarantine any different to how you started. Being you is perfectly fine. If you want to lose/gain weight, great. If you don’t, also great. If you want to learn a new skill, awesome. If you don’t, also awesome. If you want to finish the entire series of

I want to start this blog by thanking all key workers who are keeping our families safe and keeping the country running. I am so grateful for everything you do. For us who are lucky enough to isolate safely at home, I’ve compiled a list (with the help of some friends) of how we are spending the time indoors. Please note, we are in a Global Pandemic, so don’t ever feel pressured into “being better,” “getting fitter,” or “changing,” you are absolutely perfect as you are, and you are dealing with
