As my final semester with Ulster University and the stress of final year continues to loom overhead, the end is almost in sight.

It’s easy to nod along in agreement, making a mental note to respond to the university’s countless invitations by email but when they land there’s a deadline looming and you’re left weighing up the value of said event versus research/writing/reading. We have the rest of our lives to
How many times have you asked someone how they are, and they answered with something along the lines of “Oh grand, keeping busy so I can’t complain”? I don’t know about you, but it’s something that I hear a lot and I’ve noticed that it’s usually said with a positive connotation. But is it really
