For young people across the globe, regardless of background, ethnicity or beliefs, politics is becoming a fundamental centre point of our lives, dictating and influencing the way we think, act and, for those old enough, vote. I have actively avoided political comments on this blog, not because of a lack of interest in the topic; … Continue reading Introduction to Political Posts, and an Outline of my Political Views

My 2018 … in Music
2018 has been a phenomenal year for all kinds of reasons, one of which being the music released in the last 12 months. This year, I have enjoyed so many new songs and albums, from newly-discovered artists to all-time favourites. Many of you will know how much I love and obsess over music, and 2018 … Continue reading My 2018 … in Music
New Year’s Resolutions: Starting Ahead
Before I get started, I just want to say that I hope you have all had a truly wonderful holiday season, with time spent with family, friends and loved ones.

The Sort-of-New Me, Kind of I Guess
Starting at a new place -- whether that be a school, college, university or something else -- is hard. There's no way to get around that: it's hard, you're undoubtedly going to fuck up at least once, and if you don't then you're inarguably the exception, not the rule. I've done it three times in … Continue reading The Sort-of-New Me, Kind of I Guess
Autumn Playlist
As, in the northern hemisphere at any rate, the leaves begin to fade to a crisp golden brown and fall from their trees, as the wind becomes sharper and fresher, and the need for a hot chocolate and cozy blanket in the evenings becomes more and more apparent, I know it's time for autumn.
