One of the main things that is advertised as a perk of university is societies, along with sports clubs (I wasn’t part of any of these, as team and competitive sport really isn’t my thing so this post won’t go into these). However, before you get to uni it can be a little confusing as to what societies are, what they do, how you can get involved, and how they can benefit you. But don’t worry, as a recent graduate who was on the committee of a society for two years, I have all the info you’re going to need!

Getting through your uni reading list can be difficult. I know, I’ve been there. I recently graduated from Cardiff University with a degree in English Literature and Philosophy, so I know a LOT about reading a LOT! When you first get to uni the amount of reading you’re expected to do for your course can seem overwhelming. But I’ve got your back and am going to tell you everything I did to get through my course reading! Make sure you read to the end as I save my top tip for last!

I’ve just finished my final year at Cardiff University, but what you may not know is I got into Cardiff through UCAS clearing. Having finished my degree I feel I have a good perspective on the clearing process all the way from in the moment on results day, to what it actually means once you’re at university.
My clearing experience on results day was traumatic to say the least. So let’s go back to 2016 and start the story there.

VIEW POSTI’m in my third, and final year, at University now, which I think makes me a good candidate for spilling the dirt on what being an English Literature student is really like! From how much reading the degree actually consists of, to what essays and exams are really like I’m the girl who’s about to tell you it all!
Studying English Literature means reading a lot of books (obviously) and hence involves buying a lot of books too! In today’s post, I’m going to talk you through the books I am / will be studying in my second year of university.
I’ve also filmed a YouTube book haul on this subject! So make sure you head over to my channel to watch that alongside this blog post!
