Ever since tuition fees went up and with them set to rise again the question on every students lips is "Is University even worth it?". Well from someone who is at university I will try my best to answer this question. My initial response to this question will be yes, it is worth it. People these days look at university as just obtaining a degree, but is more than that, ...
You've all probably heard of Camp America or Camp Leaders and other camp related agencies that find you work at camps in America. And I bet most of you have thought about doing it, well let me just say as someone who has done it I encourage you to do it! I just want to tell you about the realities of it first. It all starts with a pretty straight forward but strenuous ...
Sorry guys for the lack of posts the past week but I was a tad busy! Let me tell you a bit about what was probably the best week of my life. So I was up in Newcastle on a BFI Screenwriting programme where we basically spent the whole week developing a script for a short film. But before I delve into all that let me just tell you that Newcastle is one of the best cities ...
So it's Valentines Day and it only seems right that I write a blog post on it. Valentines Day: The day when your spouse or partner (normally the male) does something to show you how much they apparently love you. Now I have nothing against Valentines Day nor do I have anything against the people who celebrate it as I think a day based on "love" can only be a good ...
Race plays a huge a part in our society today bringing a birth of preconceived stereotypes. White people can't dance Black people like chicken Asians are smart And bla bla bla.... But I think race nowadays has become a common subject of jokes leading people to pass straight up racism as merely a joke. Now I think we all have made a joke about race before. ...
Then I Woke and it Was All a Dream
Dreams are something that interest me but there seems to be some common tropes that run through most of my dreams and I just want to see if you guys can relate. 1) When you dream about a familiar place like school or where you work. You know you're dreaming about it except its a little bit different. Rooms that don't exist, corridors appearing out of nowhere... madness. 2) ...
People say I get annoyed easily, and I'm not going to lie I do. So I've compiled a list of annoying things and things I just don't quite understand. 1) Advertised Relationships - I didn't care when you were single so why do I care now you're in a relationship? 2) When someone's walking straight towards you and you think they're going to move and they don't and you're ...
Hold on, We're Going Home
So I recently got home from university and even though it feels good, home doesn't feel like home any more... As sad as it may sound my house just feels like a house now maybe because I haven't been at home for longer than month in over a year now. This got me thinking... I'm getting old. Times going so fast and soon this will no longer be my home. In around 5 years ...
Friendly Fire
Have you ever thought about friends? No, not the popular American sitcom but those people who you trust and claim "they will always be there for you". Let me tell you a true story for why the meaning of the word "friend" has changed for me. The story is very simple and may be one that seems a bit familiar to you. It starts with me and a girl I called my "best friend". ...
WARNING: May Contain Spoilers
There's only one thing I hate more than Ketchup and snakes (in the slang sense) and that's Spoilers. Let me just thank all the spoilers (people who spoil things) out there who inspired this post. This wouldn't have been possible without you, so thank you. Being a writer you can probably understand why I hate them so much. But why do people intentionally go out and seek ...
Movie Muse: Gravity
GRAVITY! GRAVITY! FRIKKIN' GRAVITY. Let me just start by saying if you haven't seen it. WATCH IT! Watch it now in fact... I can wait... ... ... ... You watched it yet? What you waiting for? I'm not gonna start talking until you watch it. ... ... ... You watched it? Good. (I know some of you haven't you rebels) Gravity is not just a film it's an experience. I can ...
Flap Bird, FLAP!
Flappy Bird, the game that made me question my own existence. Why is this bird flying through pipes? Why are there even pipes? Why does this bird have such big lips? What kind of species of bird is this? Still with these questions lingering over me I can not stop playing. Something tells me that if this bird got some lipo on his lips then he would actually be able to fly ...
Let's Start from the Beginning
So let's start from the beginning... You've probably read loads of blogs, and if you haven't then I guess you're new to the game, don't worry so am I, kind of. I'm not a preacher or a political activist or a Jehovah's Witness, just a teenage guy with a passion for writing, hence the blog. A little bit about me... I am a student at Bournemouth University, currently ...
