University: first impressions

Jumping back into my comfort zone of lifestyle based blog posts, last week I began my first week of classes at university studying a marketing degree. I'm just going to jump straight into it with some things that I learnt.

You get less support and help from your lecturers, but you have a lot more time to figure out how you work best. All of your tutors understand that you are not going to stay locked up 24/7 and never enter a club or bar. They even encourage you to get out!

A lazy girls guide to make-up

Having recently arrived at my first year of university life, I have become even more lazy about my makeup, although that may not be seen as humanly possible!

 I have come up with a few rules that I live by at the worst of my lazy streak, but when social culture calls for me to be presentable.

How to act like an adult (for newbies)


New to adulthood? Here are some tips on how to blend in!

  • Always sound surprised when you're asked for ID; because of course,you havent been asked for your ID for years!
  • A part time job is essential for all responsible, self sufficient adults... having disposable income is what it's all about for those spontanious purchases.
  • Having aspirations and being confident to tell people your game plan of acheivement when they ask "So, what are you doing with that qualification?" will only make them respect you more. It also can be used as a progressive conversation starter for any awkward family reunions for years to come.
