Reclaim the Night
On Thursday night students from all over Manchester, as well as families with children, took part in a peaceful protest march to "reclaim the night" from sexual assaults and attacks. This academic year (so far) there has been a 100% increase in reported rapes by students compared to last year. This is disgusting. Only the other day the same man sexually assaulted 2 girls on Wilmslow Road and has not yet been caught by the police. For those of you who don't know, Wilmslow Road is the main road that runs through Fallowfield, the area in which the majority of Manchester (UoM & Man Met) students live. It's well lit and always busy, you just don't expect it to happen there.
A Rocky Road to Heaven
I don't know about you, but I think lots of things taste better than skinny feels. And one of these things is Rocky Road. They are just SO GOOD. The contrasting textures of crunchy and chewy, hard and soft, result in a mouthful of pure joy. As I gave up pretty much everything that's tasty in the world for lent, except chocolate and biscuits, I thought I'd make these to satisfy my cravings for delicious food.

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...
