BEDN- Food glorious food!

Lets take a moment to talk about everyone's favourite subject, food. More specifically Cake. While I'm usually more of a savoury girl (I do love a cheese board) I have a soft spot for cake.

I'm not going to lie to anyone, I'm an emotional eater. When I'm stressed I eat very little but if I'm feeling down cake and ice cream help to cheer me up. This definitely became most apparently durning my first year of uni. Food was my comfort when I missed home. I'd cook 'homely' food and the retreat to my room with cake, Ben and Jerry's and Bridget Jones. 

Operation cheer up Laura.

BEDN- Love Monday's

I suppose most people struggle with Monday's because they've just had the most awesome weekend. Well here we work weekends so Monday is just another day so I don't have any issues with it. The best thing about Monday's is that it's the day before Tuesday which is our day off. So really, Monday is our Friday and Wednesday is our Monday.

So this post should be called Wednesday love. 

A day off in Prague is great but horses are better.

BEDN - Random facts about me.

So the first day of blog every day in November and it's time for some new facts about me. 

- I was born on the 202nd day of 1994, the same day that Tony Blair became leader of the Labour Party.

BEDN- An introduction.

So this November I will be taking the blog every day in November challenge run by Elizabeth from Rosalilium , I did a similar challenge in May 2012 and really enjoyed it so I think it's about time I did it again. I hope you'll all enjoy it, there are a few titles that I'm a little unsure about but so many in really excited to write.

Hope you enjoy the ride!

Keep it scrimpy,
Laura.

My 10 biggest mistakes of student living

Having lived out the 'proper' studenty bit of my time at uni I feel like should pass on some advice so here are my 10 biggest mistakes of student living. 

10 - Not making the most of the clubs and societies

I was so lucky at Bangor to experience free student clubs and societies so why the hell did I never try scuba diving!? I'm kicking myself now. 

9 - Not making the most of my surroundings

Studio Klang Headphone review and discount code*

So I've been in the Czech Republic for nearly two months now and I have to admit there are a few things that I brought with me that I haven't even looked at yet and probably never will. However there are also a few items that I am so glad that I have with me. One being my headphones.

Studio Klang, a Swedish company contacted me before I came out asking if I would like to try out their 'Earphones'. Now I'm the kind of girl who goes through like 3 pairs of poundland headphones a week. They would get thrown into the bottom of my bag and quickly broken, or lost forever. So I was toying with the idea of splashing out on some quality ones anyway, I mean they don't have a poundland here!

What I packed - Hand Luggage

I'm So we are now in the Czech Republic, we flew out here in the 24th July and we have loved every second of it. But before I rush into telling you all about our adventures I thought I would share with you what I packed and what I actually found useful in my hand luggage since I typically over pack!

Us at Brno Airport, accompanied by a lot of luggage!

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

o 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!
