House Party Madness

So my degree is complete, its the end of third year and the only way to celebrate is to have a house party, which is what i did!

Finishing university feels very strange but i am grateful for the things i got to experience and the friends that i made.

The house party was a good way to get everyone together one last time and to mark the fact that we did it. Despite many tears and a lot of stress along the way we made it through the degree and hopefully we will all be successful in the future.

My History Degree Is Almost Complete!

After three years of struggling, tears, stress and occasional happiness my history degree is almost complete!

It feels so strange that it is almost over, the three years of my degree have gone by very fast. I am going to miss so many people but i can honestly say that i am glad that after tomorrow i will not have to write any more history essays or do a history exam ever again. As much as i enjoy history, and i am glad i chose the degree that i did, it does take its toll after a while.

Nevertheless i am proud with how far i have come, what i have managed to achieve and who I've become as a person. University has helped me to become much more sure of myself, more confident and more willing to try new things and experiences. I have met some amazing people, some who i know i will definitely stay in touch with.

I don't think it will feel real until after my graduation but i am looking forward to having the summer to just chill and have some much needed rest. I miss sleep.

How To Study

Exam season is fast approaching which means a lot of stress and thinking 'why did i pick this subject?!!' However i have found that these tips help keep me calm during such a stressful period.

1. Get organised.

If you have more than one exam then this is definitely key. Organise your notes for each subject into separate folders so they are much easier to access. That way if you need a specific quote from a certain lecture/lesson it will be easy to find it.

2. Use highlighters.

These are a great revision tool to help you to remember important facts, dates or quotes for the exam.

3. Test yourself.

Write a practice essay, memorize it and see if you can rewrite it without looking. The more times you do this the better you will get.

4. Make a timetable.

Revision timetables are so useful, you can set yourself breaks so that you can get the balance between your revision and social life just right.

5. Hydrate.

Drink plenty of water! It helps with concentration and will prevent you from feeling sluggish after a long day.

Hope these tips are helpful!

Must-See TV Shows

If I'm not writing an essay for university then i will more than likely be on Netflix. So here is a list of some TV shows which i love and highly recommend!

1. Shadowhunters

This show is based off The Mortal Instruments book series. It is action packed with beautiful people in it. I would say it does take a couple of episodes to get into its stride but once it does it's a very good show and i binged the first series.

2. Dexter

I first noticed this show when it popped up on my recommended list on Netflix. I can't say too much without giving away the whole premise of the show but if you like shows full of murder then this one is definitely for you.

3. Scream Queens

I am obsessed with this show! It is written by the wonderful Ryan Murphy who created Glee so as soon as i found that out i knew i had to watch it. This show centers around the mysterious red devil who seems to be picking off students and creates a whole 'who dunnit' vibe.  It is so funny in parts and i would definitely recommend it.

4. Grimm

This series is based off the 'real' fairy tales, so the more gruesome ones. It focuses on a detective who is the only one who can see these creatures real faces as he is a Grimm. Its hilarious in parts, full of drama and action, and you get attached to the characters very quickly.

Hope you all enjoy watching these TV shows as much as i do!
