Newspaper Culture 4-6

As promised, I made it back to the blogosphere! Times are pretty hectic at the moment with uni deadlines left, right and centre and the impending doom of finishing in less than SIX WEEKS?! It feels incredibly surreal that after 20 years, I will finally be leaving the education system. While I am 110% ready …

Newspaper Culture 1-3

Why hello, it has been a while! So, I am of course no longer enjoying my adventures on my year abroad but I have started the new and slightly more scary adventure of finding a graduate job. And seeing as my beloved little blog is still here and being unfortunately left untouched, I thought I …

Kapsejladsen 2016

So here is finally the wave of blog posts I managed to put off thanks to exams buuuuut better late than never! P.S. I'm FREE! When I first heard I was going to be studying in Aarhus this time last year, I did the classic search through of #aarhus on Instagram. It was then that …

The Spring Break: Bergen

Following the most beautiful train journey from Oslo (see previous post!) I arrived in Bergen! I was only in Bergen for 2 days but made the most of it that I could. Also, I had the fun of arriving the Easter Weekend, so unfortunately quite a few places I wanted to visit were closed and the …

The Most Beautiful Train Journey in the World

Now I've written this title I've probably jinxed it, but to me the train journey from Oslo to Bergen is the most beautiful route I have ever and will ever see. "Come on!" I hear you cry: it's a train journey, how could anyone find it this exciting? You are sat waiting to reach your …

The Spring Break: Oslo

"We're going to Norway!" "NO WAY?!" "Waaaaaay." This was the beginning of our trip. You could say it was a state of tiredness and delirium which resulted in us thinking we were absolutely hilarious. But I'm not gonna lie, these puns rolled for our entire trip and we still thought we were brilliant for coming …

Dealing with Homesickness

Before I even began my year abroad, my university constantly brought up the word: homesickness. In a presentation dedicated to preparing for the year, it was about 70% of the information provided. I remember thinking, "pffft, come on, really?!" and "I am fine being away from home at uni, why should doing it abroad be …

Amsterdam

This was my second and final proper stop before heading home to old GB over Christmas (which feels like forever ago now, uni work is getting the better of me!). Unlike with Hamburg, I didn't really set myself an agenda of any sort with the exception of a couple of places and therefore pretty much …

Hamburg

Hello little blog! It's been a while! So for the past month and a half, I have been home for Christmas in good old England which was absolutely lovely. As great as my year abroad has been, it was nice to catch up with family and friends and indulge in my fill of Costas, pub …
