Study Tips!

posted by admin in 1

As I’m sure you’re aware, I am what might be termed as a professional-student. Oh yes: I am set to be in education for a good many years to come. So, with that in mind, I thought I would take the opportunity to share with all the other students out there how I go about alleviating the pressure of all that hard studying. Below are a few tips and bits of advice which might help you study better and more More

A money making opportunity…of sorts

posted by admin in 1

The thing about being a student for quite so long as I am is that you need to try to find some sort of income. It can be harder than it looks, I realised after several weeks in my first term trying to find a job that would fit in around my studies. Various mates are in the middle of working in bars and restaurants, but I find waiting tables so depressing. I did it for a while one summer More

Poor Adam, Still, Serves Him Right For Being Stupid

There’s insurance for everything: gap insurance for gap year travelling, insurance for going skydiving, even insurance just in case you forget to take out insurance. OK, so I made that one up, but you know what I mean. If you can think of something then there is probably an elaborate insurance plan designed to fit your needs.

I remember pondering the gap year insurance when I was planning my round the world trip. It was expensive – at least for More

My (Great Big Planet-Sized) Existential Debate

As you may well be aware, I am set to remain in school for a number of years. This revelation hits me every so often, and when it does something odd happens in my brain, and I start to think about lots of things that have very little to do with anything. For example, this morning I woke up with the need to write down the following words on paper: cheap car rental usa . It means absolutely nothing, of More

Randy Quaid and His Wife Avoiding Hollywood Star whackers

Recently after class a couple of my classmates and I had an argument over the whole Randy Quaid issue. Now Randy Quaid is a Golden Globe Award winning American actor who is well known for his roles in runaway successes such as Independence Day and Brokeback Mountain. However, recently his wife Evi and he have been seeking sanctuary in Canada, on the claim that they are being targeted by a “Hollywood star whackers” mafia of sorts that assassinates celebrities for More

My Student Advice

posted by admin in 1

I am what you might call a “professional student”. That’s right, I have been doing it forever and have made a career out of learning – allegedly – new information (which I very well might never use again, but don’t tell anybody!). So I thought it was about time that I passed on some of what I have learnt to a new generation of students.

Here we go, then:

1) It’s really easy to overcook pasta. Honest it is. So More

Boring Old Me!

I am in education: boring. I look around me and see actors who are my age who make millions of pounds a year and win awards, models who make as much as I make in a month in ONE DAY and teenage girls on X Factor who are constantly in the newspapers for…Well, not sure what really, but they’re obviously doing something right. All this points to one thing: I am very ordinary, and as such don’t particularly stand out More

Explanations On Life By A Preachy Student (Hopefully Not THAT Preachy, But You Have Been Warned…)

Explanations On Life By A Preachy Student (Hopefully Not THAT Preachy, But You Have Been Warned...)

I realized something about how the world works today (other than that it works partially by being filled with rubbish spoof films such as the one I just found in the DVD shop: Phil & Teds Explorer ), and it goes like this: everyone finds something unacceptable to a certain degree, but we all let different things slide. This social phenomenon then determines not only WHO we meet but who we get along with and choose to make our friends. More

The Truth About Students

posted by admin in 1

Many, many people mistakenly believe that students only stay in education because they don’t want to get a job: while that may be partially true for some – who DOES want to get a job? Don’t tell me you really want to be at work right now, do you? – it isn’t true for all. For example, I decided to stay in education because it meant I would be able to get cheaper meals at the canteen. And I also More

Old-Old: Yes, You Will Be…

Talking to my mother the other day about custom rings (we were watching a TV programme about how custom rings are made and how happy it makes a woman when she receives the ring: dull to say the least, but there you go, I guess I just don’t get it) I was reminded how things change over time, and how the older generation soon become the older-older-generation and they don’t even know it. Shift up in to elderly age and More
