Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.

  • 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…

  • Greenery

    Taken somewhere along the Liverpool-Leeds Canal

  • Favourite Memories from the U.S.A

    Every two years my family and I would jet off on holiday to the country that to many is all about dreams. I feel incredibly lucky that my parents would save for these magnificent getaways, and not just leave my sister and I behind. As I have no concrete plans to visit the U.S for…

  • A Walk Along a Canal

    When I snapped a previous polaroid of the 5 Rise Locks in Bingley, West Yorkshire, it was after walking 6 miles to Saltaire and back with my mum and grandparents. I had taken photos with my DSLR all along the way, so quickly dug out my polaroid so I wouldn’t have carried it around all day…

  • The Five Rise Locks, Bingley, Yorkshire

    I nearly dropped my camera into the canal and the result being I somehow managed to scratch up this Polaroid snap. Which is annoying, but I like the lightning effect it created, plus the scratches and the expired nature of the film makes it look even more vintage. The five rise locks of the Liverpool-Leeds…

  • Bees and Lavender

    I received a new lens for my DSLR for my birthday (55mm-200mm) which calls for more fun and experimenting. There is a lavender bush just outside by dad’s house which the bees seem to love. Great for snapping and capturing the beauty of bees in detail without risking getting stung!

  • Wanderlust Playlist

    Recently I wrote a post on novels that encourage wanderlust, and I mentioned how just listening to music can often leave you wanting to hop on a plane or drive off into the sunset for new adventures. So I knew it wouldn’t be long before I wrote a post on my favourite collection of songs for…

  • Wanderlust Novels

    If you’re bitten by the travel bug, it doesn’t take much to fuel the desire to take off and see the world. Just on the train from London to my home city recently I was listening to Bruce Springsteen and thinking to myself “I could definitely just take off on a motorbike”, before reminding myself…

  • The Low-Maintenance Life

    I generally think of myself as a low-maintenance person. My daily make up routine usually consists of eyeliner, lipstick aaaaand usually that’s it. It’s useful for me to have a small makeup collection consisting mostly of the essentials, and a few bonus items usually left forgotten at the bottom of the bag. If you need to…

  • St Paul’s Cathedral – Expired Polaroid Film

    Despite the smudges this could be one of my favourite polaroids I have ever taken…
