I'll try my best to help you. Hopefully, you'll help each other, too! We can work together to grow!
The first time I went to uni, I made some mistakes that I'd rather not repeat. Here's what they were and what I'm going to do to avoid them!
This year, I decided it was time for me to go back to uni to get my Master's Degree in English. Here are all my reasons why.
With an English degree, there are so many jobs available to you! Many employers are on the hunt for your skills. Here are some options.
No one said that doing a PGCE was going to be easy. In fact, it's been one of the hardest years of my life! Here are some tips on surviving.
People often underestimate how important vibes are when choosing which uni you want to go to.
I know when I was choosing, loads of my friends loved Leeds University. I went there and HATED it. I wasn't so keen on Warwick, either.
Why? Well, because I was really dark academia coded back then. I wanted to walk through libraries with dusty tomes and go to lectures in gothic buildings. Those universities couldn't offer that for me.
And even though that sounds like a silly reason to choose a uni, sometimes it's tough getting into uni. On the days when I kinda just wanted to skip lectures and eat pizza, remembering that I could live my best dark academia life got me in.
So I chose Glasgow, and I never regretted it!
What kinda vibes do you want from a uni?
