Bibliophile studying Public Relations
With mental health awareness week coming to a close, I thought I'd look at my top ways of indulging in self-care. I know it's become a popular fad lately, but that doesn't take away from the fact that it's incredibly important to look after yourself and have those interests. Read a book Clearly, this was…
It's mental health awareness week so I thought I'd take the time to share my story quickly. I think I've always suffered with anxiety throughout school, but just never understood what it was or why I was feeling that way. When I left for university in 2016, it seemed to escalate the feelings I was…
One thing I've learnt for certain over this lockdown, is that if it weren't for keeping in touch with my friends daily, I would have gone mad by now. I live on my own so I am severely lacking in social interaction, but have found that there are so many ways to keep in touch…
Now I love Christmas, and I love the idea of blogging through the month of December but I find it very difficult. For me, December is the hardest month because of assignments, having more shifts at work and just generally getting ready for Christmas.

I can't recall how many times I've been asked "what is public relations", or asked to describe my degree or what that means I'll be doing after I graduate. For me it's pretty simple what it means and where I'll be heading in the future, but perhaps only because my Mum works in PR and…
When you've finished University, sixth form or school for the summer, it can be a really strange situation - you're used to having a strong routine and being busy pretty much all of the time. And now you have so much free time, and while it's tempting to do completely nothing - if you're anything…
For two years now I have been a regular volunteer at the Oxfam Bookshop in my little town of Lincoln. Once I started at the University of Lincoln undertaking my Public Relations degree, I wanted to take my volunteering up a step. When I gained experience making videos and doing interviewing, I knew that I…
