I never make New Year's Resolutions, can never be bothered. Any changes to lifestyle and well being can be made at any time of the year. Saying that though, I thought I'd share my little pearls of wisdom that I either learnt this year, or used to help me get through trying times this [...]

Expat vs Immigrant – Why One and Not the Other?
Yep, I am allowed to go around calling myself an expat. Doesn't it sound glamorous - like my days are filled with multilingualism and drinking good wine (and not being totally out of my depth in Spanish and nursing the occasional "oh god what fresh hell is this" hangover, I assure you). But why do [...]
10 Pains of Being a Girl
Starbucks...hugs...twerking...the worshipping of Ryan Gosling. Whatever comes to mind when you think of girls, we're all quite different from one another. But there are a few things that unite us all. Annoying things. Things that make us tell ourselves that we deserve that drink/chocolate/item on sale/sleeping in til noon. Because we really do.

Men in the Media Who are Awesome Feminists
There are a lot of discussions when it comes to men and feminism. Can men be feminists? (Erm, yes, ofc). Are they not intimidated by the word feminism? Why not use the term gender equality? (Personally I think it's daft to get so hung up by the name, feminism = gender equality, simple as that). [...]

If you've ever encountered somebody who's from Yorkshire in Britain, you will probably realise we are incredibly, if not slightly overly, proud of our county. From our celebrities to the locals, and from its glorious countryside to the simply mention of it on TV, we adore everything that is Yorkshire. And trust me, it's hard to [...]
Why Apathy is the Enemy, and That We Should Start Caring
If you pick up a newspaper or, what is more likely nowadays, scan news sites on your computer or smartphone, generally you are left with a feeling that there is a higher percentage of bad news than good news. Europe is currently at ends with each other over the refugee crisis, America is facing new [...]
Student Tips 101
So, A-Level results are out and I'm seeing social media updates about how excited people are to start uni and I feel so, so very old. Also nostalgic for that youthful, innocent flutter of excitement for what uni will be. I was going to Laaandan! I was going to freshers week! I was going to [...]
