One term down, many, many more to go. Doing a part-time masters can sometimes feel never-ending but still, I am grateful for the experience. It has been a tough few months of balancing two online subjects and maintaining some semblance of sanity during lock-down. However, after finishing my exams for the term, I am definitely...

The one about self care…
Today on R U OK day, I wanted to take a moment to emphasise the importance of self care. Looking after all of our mental, physical, psychological, emotional... all encompassing selves.

The one where I turn 29…
