Using Sport to Help with Revision

Today marks the end of my 3rd exam in this summer period. But with another 5 to come over the next two weeks I’m far from finished. The build-up and then sudden speed of exams can be tricky to handle it. It feels like you spend an age waiting…

What to do after University!

A little different this week… no written post from me. Instead I want to share the below video in the hope that anyone who would have read this post, watches this video instead!

The Importance of Sport at University

It’s safe to say that most, if not all, Universities encourage and promote sport as a route to improving student well-being, health and social life whilst at University. Yet, at the same time sport can sometimes be overlooked as a vital aspect when developing a University. It can often…

A Mindfulness Guide for the Frazzled

“500 years ago no-one died of stress: we invented this concept and now we let it rule us. We might have evolved to be able to miraculously balance on seven-inch heels, but as far as our emotional development is concerned we’re still swimming with the pond scum. If we…

The Business of Sport

Useless Skills

Is it Good to always be Happy?

Something I’ve thought about recently, and I’ve spoken about it with a few friends. People strive for happiness. My goal in life is to be happy. But is it good to be in a state where you are always happy, not wanting anything to change? Where life is perfect…

Year 2 Term 2

Another term comes to an end, but to be honest, I’m struggling to remember the start of this term! I’m hoping that’s because so much has happened and not that it’s all passed by without an event. Over the last ten weeks I’ve started a new business venture, won…
