Living Out of My Suitcase
As a student one thing I do a lot is travelling, whether it's going home for the weekend (which is an ordeal in itself of trains, walking, buses, suitcases, rain snow etc.) or going up to my boyfriend's uni halls for a couple of days. It has made me a lot better at packing and knowing what I need. My first bit of advice is have as much as you can in different...

Don't Slap Pandas
I recently ordered from a website called Redbubble, a t-shirt with print on as a present. Ordering from new websites always makes me nervous and I was getting worried when it was nearly two weeks without as much of a sign of the parcel. I should have been more patient as the t-shirt was coming all the way from America! The t-shirt arrived but was totally distracted...

Im so 2000 and late
Two weekends ago my iPhone 4 completely broke. I'd like to say it was due to me dropping my phone down the stairs or spilling my drink on it, but no, it just froze for about 10 minutes and hasn't turned back on since. Luckily I'm covered by some warranty so my little iPhone is currently on it's way to the phone doctor. The phone I'm currently using a high-tech...

Cosmo - Easy Way to Fatten Up!
As I was walking through Sheffield on Sunday we walked past a group of people one of which said "oh and there, that place is an all you can eat Chinese" Me and my boyfriend's ears perked up, of course. All you can eat is a major guilty pleasure of ours! So of course we took ourselves there that evening.  The place we went to was a place called Cosmo,...

Valentines Day
So a happy valentines day to everyone, if you're with someone I hope you have a lovely day, if not its the perfect excuse to eat what you want and do what you want! This year will be my first Valentines day with a boyfriend (yes I am 20 it's taken me a while!) So my first year of not having to be so cynical about all the lovey dovey things in shops, and the...

Dream Dream Dream
I've always found dreams very strange, what your own subconscious thinks of is fascinating if not just weird. I had a very strange dream last night that's been playing on my mind all day so I've decided to try and use an online dream analysing website to see whether my subconscious is trying to tell me something! Firstly will describe the dream I had: I...

Otley Run Fancy Dress
So yesterday I went to do the Otley Run in Leeds, as predicted we didn't make it to the end and I had to get the last train back to Sheffield, so plenty of walking and drinking involved! Like most people we were doing the Run in fancy dress, I never want to go to a proper fancy dress shop and spend a fortune on a costume and I'm not one of these people who...

Cavalier Youth
Today's blog will be about the newest album I have purchased, yes actually bought as a hard copy, not modern iTunes download or illegal download! How old fashioned Cavalier Youth by You Me At Six. Everyone has that band, that no matter what they'll always love and mine is You Me At Six, so on the day of release I went straight to HMV and bought it! I...

Rachel Without the Chocolate Factory
I had so many plans for my day off but Sheffield has delivered a horrible, rainy, windy day. So the only solution is a onsie day snuggled up lazy with some choco.... oh wait! After my Christmas binge I felt I should make some kind of effort to eat better, so I decided on a no chocolate February. (the shortest month and by now all Christmas chocolate should...
