50 in 22: my past year of reading
At the start of this year I decided I wasn’t going to set myself as high a reading challenge as I normally do as I wanted to take my time and just read what I wanted to read. About ⅔ of the way through the year, I realised I wasn’t actually reading too much slower…
My 100km running challenge
When I first decided to run 100km in January, my only intended goal (other than to cover the distance, obviously) was to raise money and awareness for Crohn’s and Colitis UK. IBD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) can drastically impact somebody’s life. It’s not curable and the symptoms can be extremely debilitating. There’s so much research that…
Erasmus, heartbreak, and Brexit: 2020’s finale.
I’m not sure about you, but I’ve been feeling pretty angry of late. Angry about the pandemic, angry about Brexit, just angry about a lot really. This morning I was mindlessly scrolling on my phone (this is a habit I vow to stop in 2021) and came across an article titled ‘I was an early…

Video calls, why ARE they so exhausting?
2020, the year of the Zoom call. The year of virtual meetings, virtual quizzes, virtual catch-ups, virtual workouts (well, Instagram LIVEs lol), virtual ‘pub’ nights, virtual concerts. The whole world locked down and online. Every in-person event cancelled and moved online. Bit weird isn’t it? It was fun to start off with, the virtual pub…
Let’s leave the trash in 2020, an ode to ghosting…
Apparently, my blog is now a Dolly Alderton stan account… I just finished reading Ghosts and I loved it. So, I have a lot to say. Buckle up boys. Ghosts, Dolly’s debut novel, captures the pure evilness of being ghosted in a funny, heart-warming and emotional way and becoming such a brilliant self-assuring novel. Nina…
