One of my biggest faults- particularly with blogging and writing- is overthinking. I have blog drafts, scribbled-down ideas and sets of photos that are months (and sometimes years!) old, that I didn't post at the time because I read too much into them. The same can be said for my Instagram. I think ...
A Catch Up
Apart from earlier this week, I can't believe it's been so long since I last posted on here. The main thief of my time has been university; I returned in September after securing a place on a Masters course in Software Development at Queen's University Belfast. It's an intensive, one year conversion ...
Coffee Break: Life Lately
When I’m taking photos, I usually have a post in mind to go along with them. Most blogging content now is pre-planned, and while there’s nothing wrong with this, I can’t help but remember “the old days”. When blogs were more personal, diary-like and spontaneous. So I thought I’d share what’s been ...
How I Completed My Dissertation Early
Dissertation help It's a while ago now (five years in fact... where does the time go?!) but it's hard to miss the hysteria around dissertation and thesis deadlines. It's a huge piece of work, no doubt about it. The very word strikes fear into the hearts of students (I recall even feeling anxious ...
Not Having a Plan
I'm sure I'm not the only one, but somehow it feels like everyone else in my age group (and even some younger gals!) have their act together by now and know what they want to do with their life, if they're not already doing it. I'm going to be twenty-seven next month and still don't know what I ...
20 Happy Things!
I've spotted a few of these feel-good, 'happy things' posts recently in the blogosphere and they're something I really enjoy reading. I'd love to hear some of your happy things too! In no particular order... 1. The ground being totally covered in crisp orange leaves (but only when it's dry- wet, ...
Stop Wishing You Were Someone Else
"Wishing you were someone else is a waste of the person you are." I'm certain this is something that has affected all of us at some point or other - wishing you were like someone else, or even wishing you were them. Be it someone's brains, beauty or talents, it's healthy to admire others, but it ...
How to be a content twenty-something
Contentment I think the modern world can be a tough place for twenty-somethings. It's all too easy to compare our successes (or shortcomings) with our peers. The internet and social media can incite joy-draining comparison, getting a good job is no mean feat, and I have HOW much student ...
20 Random Facts
1. I like children, but I'm not maternal. No broody feelings here - I'd rather have a puppy! 2. And on that note, to break the status quo with bloggers and their cats, I'm very much a dog person. Dogs > cats every time! 3. At times, I'm one of the most indecisive people you will probably ever ...
Things that make me smile #2
Getting to know my MacBook Pro and catching up with blogging. I have been an Apple advocate for quite some time now, and after much umm-ing and ahh-ing about when or if I should get one, I decided the other week to just go for it! With my hard-earned cash and student card, I took the plunge and she ...
Hold on tight to your dream
St James’ Park in London a few weeks ago As I write this, I’m contemplating the future and how to achieve my dreams. In fact – it’s knowing which direction to take. In the space of a couple of years, I have started to pursue many different paths (journalism… accounting… biology…) before rushing ...
