Thoughtful Gifts for Last Minute Pressie Buyers

 
So, I've been busy. It's Christmas season, my work schedule ramps up this time of year and truth be told, I'm just a serial-last-minute-shopper. But, with years of time-poor shopping experience up my sleeve, I also have the perfect go-to list of gorgeous pressies you can get without ordering online or hitting the massive department stores.

Bouncing Back from the Bad Days

We all have them. Bad days, weeks, months. I was in a car accident on Saturday (all okay thank god!), my friends have been struggling with a hell-ish exam season and all of us have everyday problems that get us down.

Onto the topic of this article, I'm talking about podcasts. I've been really getting into them recently, and I'm uber surprised at how amazing the free podcasts are just on your iPhone. I have 8 to recommend, depending on your tastes, but all of them are incredible for long train/car rides, background noise while working, or just having a good dedicated listen. 

A Rookie's Guide to Surviving Exam Season

Uni is over for 2017! Well, almost. We have a few weeks + exam block to go and then we're free. I've learnt a hell of a lot about what it means to do university exams and get a result you're happy with, especially last sem. There's no one pushing you or telling you when or what to study, so you do end up walking in blind as a 1st year. I figure there's a tonne of people like me wanting to figure out how to make exam season work, and if you need a few pointers, keep reading.
