What's in my University bag:


It's the 1st of January and I'm so excited to see what this year will bring me. I'll soon be going back to uni and I know quite a few others go back before I do. So this is a little post in collaboration with one of my uni besties... Kate, who has also written a blog post about her uni bag! (The link is at the end of this post), to inspire those of you who don't know what to put in your uni bags or even for those of you who would like to have a little nosey at what I take to uni daily...

When I first moved to uni I had no idea what to take with me, all I knew was that uni is completely different to college and I felt so unprepared, so I decided to look on youtube, some how I felt like I needed immense preparation.

So this what's in my uni bag is based on what I take on a Tuesday or Thursday due to them being my most busy days.


First of all, I take a backpack to uni because I think its the most practical, I can fit everything in there including my laptop and the weight is spread across both shoulders not just one.

In the front pocket I have essentials that I need to reach for; for example, I have paracetamol, earphones (both my wireless beats and my apple earphones), I have lip balm and hand sanitiser and hand cream and plasters. This would be my essential pocket. 


Next, into the big pocket. In here I have my shorthand notepad, which I take everyday along with my big workbook. I have a one hour and 30 minute lesson every morning and I love the lesson so much, I think its easily one of the best things I've learnt, although some outlines are tricky!


I have other books in my bag, which include my law book and folder due to our lectures on a Thursday, within journalism I have to study Media law and Regulation which I also really enjoy learning about. Then I also have my Making of the Media notebook for my lectures which now when I go back to uni, I no longer have! whoop whoop, less hard work, jokes.



I also have practical essentials which I'm sure everyone else has in their bags, like my purse, my keys and my uni ID. I wouldn't be able to buy the best hot chocolate I've ever tasted if I didn't take my purse. I swear uni's hot chocolate in Greenbank building is the one!


Lastly, my pencil case and diary. Obviously I need pens and I'm obsessed with stationary so you'll never find me without a pencil case haha. My diary also keeps me super organised!
My water bottle to keep hydrated, I always get headaches so drinking water keeps me hydrated so water is an essential.



One last thing, lunch. Which I normally would provide everyday but sometimes the canteen food is just so good that I can't help but spend money on it. Uni food and drink has changed my life ahahah.


Anyway, I hope this helps some of you! Let me know what's in your bag down below.

Hope you're all having an amazing start to the new year.

Love you all always,

My Travel Playlist:

I love travelling and as many of you will know I’ve recently come back from my holiday to Tenerife and I’m gutted! It was such a wonderful holiday and I loved spending time with my family. For this blog post, I thought I would piece together my favourite songs at the minute that I loved whilst travelling on flight, whilst getting ready on holiday and the ones I loved whilst chilling around the pool. The playlist has way over 100 songs so I'm going to add a list for you to browse. So there is a mixture. I am obsessed with Lewis Capaldi at the minute, he is amazing! I can't get enough of his recent album, obsessed. I'm also loving all the old summer classics that will always get me in the mood like Summer by Calvin Harris, Whistle by Flo Rida and lastly, Despacito. Not only the old classics I'm loving the new ones like High Hopes and I Don't Care. These songs are great. All in all, I think this playlist is just a big pile of all the songs I like an

Taking life at your own speed limit...

Hey everyone, I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year! For my first post of 2021 I wanted to share a part of my life that I think people will also be experiencing at some point. Last week, I kind of hit a breaking point where I felt like I was behind, like I wasn't at the stage in life that I should be. I see people my age that are beyond successful on social media, buying their dream homes, having a deposit for a dream home, getting engaged or having children and I sit and think, why isn't that me? I genuinely sat and cried to my sister because I didn't know what would happen next in my life. Throughout my life I have always had stages to go through. I started off in primary school and then high school, I then had to work hard to get into college and then smash my A-levels to get into University and I think it just dawned on me that this is my last ever semester on my undergraduate course, so what happens next?  After a small breakdown, I had a deep chat about a

How I keep myself motivated with Online Uni

Hey everyone, happy Saturday! I hope you have all had a lovely January, this month has massively dragged for me. I feel like it's been six weeks instead of four but I'm so pleased with all the things I have achieved this month. However, finding motivation has been hard! Imagine this... you have classes everyday, a mountain of work to get through or assignments to complete. But not only do you have all of those, you are also coping with a global pandemic too, meaning everything has moved to online learning and you're now surrounded by the same four walls. Which in terms of coping with motivation is pretty damn hard! I know so many of my friends on Instagram are struggling to find motivation or to even cope with online learning because they're stuck in the same place, getting symptoms of cabin fever and they just want out. I feel the same but I've managed to keep a schedule and structure and it's massively helped! As you can see by the title, I thought today would
