With the first semester of university rapidly approaching, I've been preparing all my uni essentials. As a fashion lover, I used to throw a notepad and pen into my handbag and leave it there. But now I take my university life more seriously. Now, I have a Kangol backpack for university, whenever I take anything out of it, I put it back in the bag once I'm done so I don't forget it. With the aftermath of the Coronavirus lockdown to keep in mind, universities are trying to keep in-person lectures and classes to a minimum but a lot of courses are still getting a couple of on-campus classes every week. So even though many people might not need a backpack for university and college this year, I thought I'd share what I take to uni along with some studying and note-taking tips...

So, I volunteered to learn with him so he wouldn't have to embarrass himself alone.
Planning Life Post-lockdown
With the end of the COVID-19 lockdown on the horizon, I feel it's time to talk about what I'm looking forward to when everything is (almost) back to normal. Regular, everyday life seems like a distant memory, but if we play our cards right, hopefully, normality will be just around the corner. Of course, our definition of normal may have to change to include social distancing and face masks but I think it'll be worth it...
10 Things to do in Self-isolation
Self-isolation has been proven to be difficult but extremely vital for all of us in these strange times. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused the UK and many other countries to go into lockdown, with shops closing and police breaking up gatherings to prevent the spread of the virus.
