How I use my Bullet Journal at my internship | March + April

I'm incredibly reliant on my diary. For those of you who have never heard of it, the bullet journal is a method of organising a diary which involves choosing your own layout, and uses symbols to represent concepts. I've found it incredibly helpful for organising my daily workload as a student, and even more so since starting my placement.

20 ways to get the most from your Psychology undergraduate degree

A giant brain spotted in Norwich

Psychology is sometimes shunned as a “worthless” degree. This may be partially due to the high volume of people completing it, or because a relatively large proportion of graduates end up in jobs that seem only loosely linked to the degree - see HECSU’s report on graduates’ employment for some interesting statistics on this!

However I strongly believe that any degree is worthwhile if you’re productive and try to learn new skills while at university. With this philosophy in mind, here are twenty ways to make the most of your psychology undergraduate degree!

A travel mug is undoubtedly a back-to-uni essential, but I commute to campus which makes it even more important! I was given a free travel mug at Freshers’ Fair last year; it was okay, but not amazing. It did the job, but the lid didn’t seal shut so there were multiple times I ran for the train and spilt half of my drink. I decided that since second year is where you get serious (and need three times more coffee), I’d allow myself to buy a new one.

Reflections on my first year at university

I’m going to start this post off by saying it’s more for me than anyone else. Although I’m sure this may be helpful for some of you who are about to start first year, I really just want to document my progress through university so I can look back on a detailed record of how I was feeling. With that being said, here’s a summary of how first year was for me.
