Beyond The Degree

So before I combust (literally), I am actively searching for any vices to try and prevent the aforementioned occuring.  Third year really is no joke. What I'm finding particularly horrific this morning as I angrily type,sigh , and roll my eyes is that I've had no marks back yet and it is TEN weeks into the term. This is actually an easily stressed out person's nightmare. No indication of knowing where I am at in such a crucial year is not really ideal, but at the same time knowing where I am at would probably be enough to push me into hysteria. So my complaining here is even more ineffective and purposeless than it normally is. Yay.  I can't help but simultaenously laugh and cry that this year has actually proven to me that I academically peaked in Year 6. Since then, I have been scribbling down nonsense on assignments and if I couldn't successfully do it pre univeristy, I don't know why I thought I could do it now but anyway... Also before I move on...

Hi Guys, Initially I wanted to post fortnightly, but to be frank it's been a busy twenty-eight days filled with coursework, embarrassment and vodka. As a second year student, it's suddenly dawning upon me that this academic year actually counts towards my degree - which is extremely nauseating. At the beginning of second year, I decided to push myself out of my comfort zone and get involved in more activities. Doing this has resulted in October and November being two of the funnest months I have ever had. I am no expert at all and often slip up, but today I will address ( in an awfully hefty post ) how to get the most out of your university experience. 1. Set Yourself Five Manageable Aims A Week This is something I have recently started doing academically and outside of my studies and I can't express enough how helpful it has been. Tailor these five aims personally to you to achieve small or great things. For example, one of my weekly aims over the last four ...

Greetings! And thank you for taking time out of your day to look at my blog post. My name is Kes and I am currently a Drama and English Undergrad. In the twenty- first century, the internet prevails as a platform of expression and even employment. (A question I frequently get asked about as I am doing a 'menial' arts degree lol) So I feel like now, after talking to careers advisers and the emergence of opportunities blogging can create; it is an appropriate time to start doing a spot of personal branding and creative expressionism all in one. My blog posts will mainly be entries of creative expressionism as I don't even know how to personal brand but perhaps I will learn how to do that in the process. Who Knows?!  I hope you enjoy what you read in the oncoming weeks, I am not promising anything extraordinary but I will try my best to keep you slightly entertained and engaged. But hey that's easier said than done! Kes x
