Innovation Forum

Before flying off to Malta and in the middle of election madness, I had the opportunity to film an event held by Innovation Forum. It is an international organisation which encourages business entrepreneurship. This event was focussed on bridging the gap between academia and enterprise with a panel of experts offering their words of wisdom.…Read more Innovation Forum

A Whole Summer Later…

It's never a good sign when you can't remember the last blog post you wrote. A lot has happened since then. We had an election in the UK and as I was part of ITV's current affairs team, we were making documentaries on the leader of each political party.  It was an amazing six weeks…Read more A Whole Summer Later… 

Let’s Type a Bit More

After typing over 6000 words today, I have no idea why I have decided to write a post as I sit here eating a well-earned bowl of spaghetti bolognese. Well, it wasn't 6000 words of coursework or anything that required too much thinking, but 6000 words of logging. You should know what logging is from previous…Read more Let’s Type a Bit More

Beating the 9K

It was done. With a click of the mouse, I'd paid off the final installment of my university tuition fees. I looked around for a crowd of applauding fans but the room was as usual empty, save for the three mugs and two water bottles I'd accumulated on my bookshelves over the past few days…Read more Beating the 9K

The Instagram Life

Social media versus blogging. Is there a divide? Do bloggers look down at social media and regard those platforms as simply not serious enough? I'm not too sure but all I know is I have been enjoying slowly building up my Instagram profile over the past few days. As a photographer and videographer, I had…Read more The Instagram Life

Motivational Graduates

 A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to film a panel of graduates who came to visit my university. Although my primary aim was to film, it turned out to be an incredibly motivational event for myself as well. Sometimes students do not realise the value of such events but they can really help…Read more Motivational Graduates

Thanks Hackney

Dear Hackney,   I would like to thank you for not letting me down.  You see,  everytime I tell people that I am from Hackney,  there is a slight gasp and shudder as they contemplate how on earth I have managed to survive living in such an infamous area. They wonder if I have been…Read more Thanks Hackney 

Birds of Agadir

"Oh bloody hell, not you lot again. You camera people. Didn't you get my warning when we attacked your jumper on your first day here? Winter is our time, not your time. It's meant to be quiet here, don't you know that it is not the season for all you camera wielding people? Why are…Read more Birds of Agadir

I am a ‘Logger’

My essays were due the following day but when I was summoned to do some video logging for the On Assignment team at ITV,  I jumped at the chance.  Now before you tut tut and mutter priorities,  let me reassure you that I had mostly completed my courseworks and so I was able to say…Read more I am a ‘Logger’ 

What’s Different About University Exams?

As I prepare for the one exam of my first semester,  let me remind myself of how I felt after sitting my first university exams two years ago.  Impersonal. That is how I would describe the difference between the exams of the past and the exam I sat today. When you would walk into an…Read more What’s Different About University Exams?

Sly Government

Those students who constantly bang on about university fees in the UK being £9,000 a year have now been silenced. No longer can they shout in demonstrations, protests and marches that the government is allowing universities to charge this amount, despite there being no tangible benefits to the majority of undergraduate students.  Instead, they must…Read more Sly Government

Looking Back

When I first setup this blog many years ago, back in the heady days of A-level English, History and Politics; it was mainly in response to my financial worries regarding university. I was part of the unlucky year. The first set of students to not receive the educational maintenance allowance and the first to have…Read more Looking Back
