Food and Cooking Hacks for University
University life is so busy that sometimes eating properly is the last thing on your mind. However, cooking can be fun, cheap and quick if you know the right recipes and have some key ingredients. Here are a few of my tips for eating well at uni.

Keeping Fit at University
1. Take your bike. I always knew I would take my bike to uni, mainly because my department was miles away from my flat, but also because it's a super easy way to get around. Most campuses are pretty big, so cycling between your halls and lectures means you are less likely to be late and it also saves you a lot of time in the morning. In my first year, my flatmates took the bus to their lectures and would often leave 45 minutes early to be sure of getting there on time (as the buses were very irregular and unreliable). On my bike, I could leave the house at 8:50 AM and be sitting in my lecture by 9 AM no problem. It may not feel like it, but doing this everyday really builds up your fitness. It was a good 10-minute ride to my department, and I would sometimes do it twice a day if I had large time gaps between lectures. On rainy days it isn't as fun, I'll admit, but if you need to get somewhere fast it's a good plan B to have, especially since the buses will always be crammed full on wet days.

Why Doing Stuff on Your Own Is Awesome!
Most of my life, I have enjoyed doing things by myself. I think it stems from when I was in primary school and I would never play with anyone at break time and instead just skip around the playground lost in my own world. Even though I don't do that anymore *cough*, I still like to do things alone, whether it be shopping or going to the gym. Don't get me wrong, I like to hang out with my friends too, and sometimes I do like company, if I go to the cinema for example. What I mainly want to focus on in this post is things that people often do with others but could choose to do alone. I know that a lot of people, particularly girls, always like to have company whenever they do something, which is great and sociable, but in some situations doing an activity on your own can be beneficial (and even easier)! So here are four reasons why doing things on your own can be awesome!

Preparing for Travel
On the run up to my trip to Ghana, I starting preparing properly just after the New Year (to leave mid-February) and, to be honest, it would be easier for me to write a post about what NOT to do. So that's what I'm going to start with, here goes:

University Myths Debunked!
I have been at university for just over a month, and already I've realised that a lot of the stories that people tell you aren't always true. Since I had a year off, I had a whole 12 months extra to look at student sites and read articles about what student life is like, so I gathered quite a lot of information. Here are some of the things I heard that you shouldn't be disappointed about if they don't happen to you, because it really doesn't matter!

Stories from My Gap Year, and Reasons Why to Take One
I decided to take a gap year between sixth form and University and it was honestly one of the best decisions I ever made. When I started writing this post, the title was "top three reasons to take a gap year," but I realised after writing it that I had included more about my own experience than general information. So here are my top three reasons for taking a gap year, explained through stories of my own experiences:
