Out of this world

Manchester uni holds a festival exclusively for students three times a year called Pangaea. Every Pangaea has a different theme and this one was Space Odyssey! The ones I've been to have all had fantastic themes: Club Tropicana in 1st year, Summer of Love in 3rd year and Rumble in the Jungle and Space Odyssey this year. Here are my costumes for each...

Girls who lift

I've always naturally been weirdly strong for a girl of my size, but when I started going to the gym at 16 I was lazy so stuck to the treadmill and cross trainer. I also had the irrational fear of "getting big" (it didn't help that I'm quite broad shouldered). In the summer between A levels and starting uni (so long ago!) mum paid for me to have a personal trainer as a post-exam gift. She encouraged me to leave my comfort zone and start lifting. Oh my god, the best gift ever!

Delicious Oreo goodness

Last Saturday it was Robin's 22nd birthday. I could not bear for him to celebrate cakeless but did not have the time to bake him a cake due to having two exams within 48 hours this week. So my simple solution was to buy a pack of his favourite cookies, stack them up and stick a candle in...

Looks good, I know.

The start of 2015, the end of uni life.

Back in 2014 I was terrified of it becoming 2015. This year is the year that I will be graduating from the University of Manchester and entering 'the real world'. I'm not scared of growing up or leaving uni, I'm just terrified of wasting my last few months here sitting around and not actually appreciating everything this beautiful city has to offer. I have realised that I have approximately 150 days left here, and I plan on making the most of them.

In the last few days I've suffered what some might call an 'early-life crisis'. I don't believe I made the most of my first and second years here. I spent too much time sleeping (I blame the narcolepsy) or sitting around eating ice-cream (still a hobby) and not enough time exploring the city and living the typical Manchester student lifestyle!

Not an uncommon sight to those who know me...
