Oh god
I literally can’t stop writing the most awful puns in my arts & ents feature that I have to hand in on Tuesday.
It’s gone from an interesting, well-written insight into RSD at Banquet Records to:
“But now Banquet has become a feast of Roman proportions”
Honestly. Send help.

Transcribing is the WORST THING EVER
Even Michael Palin doesn’t make it interesting.

The stye I have had for two weeks, which the professionally-trained doctor told me was caused by stress (what), is becoming a good indication of how likely it is when I wake up that I will have a nervous breakdown that day.
Yesterday, for example, I woke up and it was pretty much gone, so of course I had a really good day. I even managed to have a beer at lunchtime in the sun.
Today, though, I...

Whaaat is wrong with me; I am supposed to be writing loads of essays and applying for jobs and finishing my degree but all I can do is just sit and stare at tumblr/twitter/facebook because I just cba to do anything.
And everyone keeps asking me what I am doing after uni and now I have to say that I am moving back home which is so so rubbish but can’t be helped but the thought just makes me...

Interrailing
Last night, my housemate and I went out on a limb and decided to book our Eurostar to Brussels, where we had planned to begin our interrailing trip later this month.
Only she had a very bad headache from dissertation-induced caffeine intake and I had been out and had a couple of glasses of wine…
So she booked them. And then I was talking “blah blah let’s book our hostel in...

My housemates always ask if I’d like to participate in the 30 day squat challenge with them and I just laugh and reach for another muffin.

Also got a MASSIVE craving to watch Garden State right now as I always do when I’m stressed/upset/over-thinking everything.

Today is going to be the worst Sunday of all Sundays because I have done that thing we all used to do in school of leaving my homework to the very last day.
I have to give an hour-long presentation on Tuesday about the ethics of ownership in the media (e.g. ol’ Rupert Murdoch) and then Wednesday is my last press day as editor. I’m pretty sure I’m going to feel as on top of the...

Twitter is probably my favourite thing, but it becomes so unbearable when people try and take the moral high ground over issues.
It happened last week with Thatcher, with people saying that others were “wrong” and “sick” to be celebrating an “old woman’s death”. Well, that old woman just happened to fuck over a LOT of people 20-30 years ago who she had no...

The last three weeks of lectures start tomorrow.
And then it’s a couple more weeks of assessments and deadlines.
And then I go travelling around Europe for a month.
And then I go on holiday with my family for two weeks.
And then I’m going to Latitude festival.
And then I’m not sure what happens after that…

Whatever is going on in my nose/head right now needs to stop. I have not taken this much medication since I was in hospital and I’m pretty sure I haven’t felt this shit since then either. Nasal congestion has got to be THE MOST painful thing that a cold can develop into. My head feels like it is actually imploding most of the time because of the amount of pressure within my skull. I am...

This is basically what I try to explain to my male - and sometimes female - friends who say that ‘feminism’ should be renamed ‘equality’,...

I don’t usually post those kind of inspirational Facebook statuses, but people just irrationally and unnecessarily dissed my newspaper and that made me quite upset and angry. So I calmly wrote and posted a nice status defending my team, but here - in the safety of Tumblr - I just wanna say (indirectly) a big FUCK YOU to all the people who were cruel and threatened my journalists.
(I am...

My boyfriend has been pestering me for a while to get Snapchat (that app where you take a photo of yourself or something then send it to someone and it will just appear on their screen for three seconds or whatever), so this morning I finally caved. We’ve been ‘snapchatting’ all day and to be fair it’s quite funny to converse by pulling stupid faces. But then he took it too...

No, Taylor Swift, I am not feeling 22.
In fact, I’m not feeling anything other than relieved and exhausted.
Doing a 15 hour press day on your birthday is not what I had planned, but as you get older you start to realise that sometimes things are way out of your control and days that you wish were perfect can be anything but.
At one point I thought we could go to press at 4pm. Then it...
