  • Little Things I Miss About Britain…

    I love living in Spain, I love the culture, the lifestyle, and that I feel like it’s made me a warmer person (ish…) But I also am very stereotypically British, and no matter how amazing our adopted country is, there are always some little things that can make you homesick… I wrote a similar post about a…

  • You’re not a Jane Austen character, you can be happy single

    I like to think that I’m not overly cynical about relationships, they’re worth it when they’re good. It warms my heart seeing my friends in love and happy. But when some people like to hop from one to another, to me that seems to take away the meaningfulness of each relationship. Those people seem to be…

  • Life with Lupus (as told by pictures off the internet)

    I decided to write a Buzzfeed style article about having lupus. They are pretty great at creating funny but insightful posts about living with different illnesses, both physical and mental. They’ve covered chronic illnesses a lot, and it’s great being able to see people sharing the same pains also able to share the same humour.…

  • A little inspiration from Maya Angelou…

    I was reading a lupus warrior’s blog (Luck Fupus), and in a post she talks about a tattoo she has that helps her overcome all struggles, including those caused by the unrelenting lupus. It’s a quote by one of my favourite poets and women, Maya Angelou: I decided to find an image of the quote…

  • A month into my Barcelona adventure

    Photo from Dec 2015, but what I walk past every day to uni… Moving country and beginning at university can be quite hectic and time consuming, so my blog has been neglected for a while. But now I am quite settled, I am giving some life to my blog by writing about me, myself and…

  • Barcelona Bound!

    It’s a huge relief to be writing this post, because the past few months this has been an uncertainty. But I finally booked my flight, and in a couple of weeks I will be beginning my MA in International Relations at Institut Barcelona d’Estudis Internacionals! I’m hugely excited. And nervous. And impatient. And giddy. Spending the…

  • You’ve Just Graduated – Now What?

    About a year ago I donned the graduation gown and cap, and did what every graduate fears: walking across the stage to graduate without falling over in front of your friends, family and professors. Then to step out into the wide, wide world and take on adult, working life. It was terrifying, mainly because I…

  • First Impressions of Lupus

    It’s been just over 2 months since I received my lupus diagnosis and started on all the treatment and medication that entails. I’ve discussed things with friends and family, I’ve already seen a multitude of doctors, and god knows how many blood tests I’ve had (I think I’m finally getting used to them – have only fainted…

  • The Real World: Not for Uni Students Apparently

    Since the Brexit referendum there have been many debates and topics fueling fall outs in British households and across social media. It’s gotten touchy and sensitive, and people have been judged harshly on whether they’re ‘remain’ or ‘leave’. One of the topics I have noticed popping up more frequently since this Brexit debacle is the…

  • Oh God, Britain

    You have probably read in the news somewhere that last week the U.K. voted to leave the EU by a slim majority. It’s a big deal, not just affecting us Brits but the rest of the EU member states and even the world. I won’t go into the details of why I think the leave…
