Afternoon tea- Bank Corner, Alsager

Recently Richard and I have found ourselves enjoying more and more afternoon teas, we have either been gifted them from friends and family or just discovered them by chance, some have been very fancy, others a bit of a let down, but with prices to suit all budgets but we do love them!

Flashgap - The Hangover inspired photo app*

So a few weeks ago I was introduced to a new app called Flashgap. Basically, as a group you take photos, they disappear into nothingness then at noon the next day, all hell is unleashed when the groups photos are released in one super awesome album.

The first time we used it was at the GeogSoc's summer ball, between the five of us we took 111 photos and we really enjoyed it, the photos walked us through the night, from getting ready to the next mornings hangovers. We all had a good laugh at the album and we found that we could upload the whole thing, or a select few, straight to Facebook pretty easily.

Guest post-Top 10 Unusual University Degrees

When the International Association of Book-keepers got in touch and shared with me a list of the most unusual degrees out there I was keen to share them with you all. And while you, for some reason, still can't get a degree in Harry Potter studies, some of these degrees are pretty good!

It might surprise you to learn that some of the following courses are actually available to study at degree level, but even more so when you see that they actually promise high employment or further study rates after university and also just how enjoyable some of them look!

1. Digital and Social Media
Offered at Leeds Trinity University
A degree in social media, aiming to develop an understanding of cultural, social, ethical and technological aspects of the industry as well as the significance and philosophical implications of social media. Perfect for those looking to seek a career in digital media, and a great extension on the learning for those who are already exceedingly familiar with Twitter and Facebook! With a promising 91% employment or further study rate after university, this course could lead to a very worthwhile degree!
