2011's Best Albums

It has been a while since popular music caught my attention, and I’m glad these ladies are here to stay.  But as with all pop albums, I only took a liking to the popular singles. It is the melodious vocals and...

Bye Bye School
With just 1 module left for university, I can safely say that learning only made up a small bit of university. Out of the 27 modules I’ve taken so far, I’ve only really enjoyed and genuinely learnt a lot from 4 modules. That’s 15% of my entire 4 years of studying. Person and Society - A fundamental sociology module that opened my mind to poverty, the class systems within...
