Volunteering in Thailand
As some of my readers may know from my twitter, I fundraised to do three weeks volunteering in Thailand. With a bit of help from my savings, I was able to hit my fundraising target and head to Thailand to volunteer with Challenges Abroad, a scheme run by the charity the FutureSense Foundation. Fundraising Our… Continue reading Volunteering in Thailand
48 Hours in London
Anyone who follows me on Twitter or Instagram will probably know I've been back and forth to London several times in the last month for university interviews. Thanks to the awkwardness of flight times from Belfast, I stayed at least one night each time, and as a result I had plenty of free time! It… Continue reading 48 Hours in London
Weekend Break In Scotland
Last weekend I headed to Glasgow for a solo weekend trip and a much-needed break from my hometown of Belfast. The flight was only around 35 minutes long, so Glasgow seemed like a great choice for a short city break since I can't take any time off work at the moment. I left my house… Continue reading Weekend Break In Scotland

My Results Day Experience

Firstly, at AS-Level the subjects… Continue reading My Results Day Experience
I took my dog to see Santa. Yes, really!
Last year, I took my dog, Charlie, to see Santa. Yes, really. I have the photos to prove it! Charlie is a West Highland Terrier. He's the first dog I've ever owned, and I adore him. He's been a hyper, crazy dog ever since he was a puppy, and we really struggled to train him… Continue reading I took my dog to see Santa. Yes, really!
Visiting China
During Halloween Break in 2016 I was lucky enough to spend two weeks in China thanks for a school trip. My school had recently opened a Mandarin classroom, and we were partnered with a university who sent teachers to Northern Ireland. The Hubei Normal University hosted us for the time we were in China, and… Continue reading Visiting China

Finding The Right University For You
This time last year I was stressed to the max, desperate to get into university. I was lucky enough to get conditional offers for all of the five universities I applied to, however when it came down to it I was torn when I had to choose my firm and insurance choices. I had to… Continue reading Finding The Right University For You
