Madness

Whilst studying the Cold War, one issue continues to provoke a bewildered response inside me as my mind fails to grapple with the justifications for it. The nuclear arms race. By 1961, the US and the Soviet Union had the combined ability to destroy the world three times over. You would have thought it would…Read more Madness

Memories

Some of the best memories were made in the early years of education. When going to school was not about passing exams or tests but actually developing your own self. Here are a few of mine. I once brought a knife to school. A sharp one but before you think this person was a crazy…Read more Memories

Explaining The Balance

"My blog is called A Worried Student, don't worry it is not as depressing as it sounds." This is how I usually introduce people to my blog. The word 'Worried' does tend to get misinterpreted as it may seem like I am constantly worrying about the pressures of life as a student. However, there are different types…Read more Explaining The Balance

I Could But, I Can’t

I could buy that amazing Carrera hybrid bike from Halfords which would rid me of transport problems and allow me to get some exercise. I could buy that amazing Microsoft Surface 3 table which would be a great improvement on my brother's current one which sounds like a washing machine and is more clogged up…Read more I Could But, I Can’t

Ants Have Made Me Angry!

I love animals which is why the movie We Bought A Zoo was really awesome for me but what I have grown to dislike and may I also add hate, is the common ant. Wonderful creatures. They possess such remarkable intelligence and you sometimes wonder where could their brains possible be? Humans can learn from…Read more Ants Have Made Me Angry!

Are You A Lark Or An Owl?

In a way, I am envious of owls. People who are like owls I mean. Their brains are wired to work more productively later in the day which means they can pull those things known as all-nighters which are alien to larks like me. I definitely cannot pull an all-nighter as my brain functions best…Read more Are You A Lark Or An Owl?

Why The Name A Worried Student?

This is a question that I was asked recently. Why do I stick to an abstract personality rather than provide a name and information on who I actually am? No it is not because I am scared of an invasion of privacy or am paranoid a stalker will track me to my home and beat…Read more Why The Name A Worried Student?

Growing Up: Then And Now

Back then, they would pay people to go to university! That is how people tend to describe university life 15-30 years ago which leads me to the question, was it easier to grow up back then or now? The immediate answer would be it is easier now of course! I mean back then there were…Read more Growing Up: Then And Now

The Day My E-book Died

I pulled my e-book out of my bag yesterday and realised it was broken! I have seen many arguments for and against e-books but let me just say that I loved mine dearly. Firstly, I got it for free! Which perhaps contributed to its early death as I never bothered to buy a case for…Read more The Day My E-book Died

What Would You Do?

In all honesty, if you were walking to the train station (which has no barriers) to catch the last train that will get you to work on time and you suddenly realise that you have forgotten your travelcard, what would you do?
