Surviving the zombie apocalypse: (Exam dos and don't's)

How to survive the zombie apocalypse. Top 5 tips:

1. Carry coffee!

It’s one of the only antidotes to stop you and your friends from falling in to the hoard. All-nighters at the library seem like a good idea in theory, but in practice you end up leaving at 3am, looking worse than you do at the end of a night out, having complete a meagre amount of work.

2. Arm yourself with Highlighters.

Highlighters are your best friend. Colour in all useful text. Facts remembered will help you fight of feral classmates in desperate need of your help.

3. Buy new pens.

Daryl Dixon doesn’t kill zombies with an empty gun! And you can’t write an essay with an empty pen.

4. Get to the nearest safe house and surround yourself with other survivors.

Go to the library with your course mates. Attend extra sessions hosted by lecturers. Host your own study group. Even if you’re a solo survivor sharing notes and talking to others will help you get the work done.

5. Don’t leave everything to the last minute.

Humans don’t wait until there surrounded before fighting back. They run away when the see the zombies approaching. So when you see the exams approaching get to work before the DEADline arrives.

Highlight of the week

It comes to something when the highlight of your week is a toss-up between seeing a dog at the local tea shop, and listening to your lecturer sing about adultery and murder. The student life isn't the glamorous party that it claims to be. The hype from past students is enough to make any freshers excited. Everyone you speak to has tales of the amazing parties they attended and the lifelong friends they made. There’s always a funny tale of someone falling over in the club, a wardrobe malfunction or some other form of drunken mistake. But when you get to university you realize it was all lies. The clubs are small and dimly lit, and any sober person would deem them too unsanitary for use. There always crammed full with far too many people and the music is too loud. Instead most of the time at university is spent napping, managing to over boil pasta and watching Netflix instead of doing your work. Granted there is the occasional party that you think will be awesome. But in rea...

Food fail of the week

When preparing to leave for university you spend lots of time imagining what life will be like. Purchasing everything you think you will need, from cutlery to bedding. However, it isn't until you reach your new home, be it halls of residence or private accommodation, that you realize how woefully unprepared you are. You end up dying to go home, begging your surprised mother for home cooked vegetables and calculating how long you can avoid going back to the adult world. Everyone has a breakdown at some point when attending university, for some it’s in the first weeks. For some it doesn’t happen until the second or even the third year. I was convinced this moment wasn’t going to happen. The first few months passed by without incident, I was floating along in a nice little bubble of security. Then the moment hit me. It had been a long week, the weather was once again dismal and I hadn't ventured to the shops. I looked upon the almost bare fridge and spotted the eggs that m...

A summer holiday

The summer holidays. The long awaited and much anticipated break from studying- Sun, sea and, picnics by the shore, catching up with old and new friends. Idyllic holidays exploring the world. That’s the picture that’s painted. Some of it happens, and it can be a lovely break. But for some students the reality is three months of idle boredom, low paid work and the occasional trip to the local beach. With limited funds, the big summer break eludes most students. They bide themselves over with jobs in retail, giving up all free time and forgoing fun days out with friends and family. I myself had illusions of grandeur, plans for an exotic holiday in the sun. My reality was very different. The only job I could find was a horribly early morning shift putting together online deliveries at my local Supermarket. As for fun days, out well I almost succeeded. On a rare day, off I planned a trip to Brighton, not too far but far enough to feel like a bit of a holiday. Plans set and my bes...
