National Careers Week is here and so is Tiffany to tell you how to find the right career path for you.
Our guest blogger, Phil Ditchfield, knew his passions - but how to find the right Uni course to suit?
Memories can be all the sweeter if we slow down and appreciate the moment... Anisha explains this can help with studying too.
Ping! Buzz! Zing! Too much phone time can have negative impacts. Tiffany discusses the effects our phones can have on our wellbeing.
It’s a new year, and you might have exciting new plans – perhaps you’re going to follow Tiffany’s advice and start a ‘passion project’ - but if you are hoping to go to Uni, perhaps you need to finish off your UCAS application, or maybe, you need to start it.
With the crispness of a new year, most of us rush to resolutions. Yet, perhaps a slower-can-do-attitude will work better?
As we step into the new year, it's the perfect time to set our sights on exciting endeavours and personal growth. You might not have heard of a 'passion project' before but after reading this blog post, you might consider bringing one to life.
For our second guest blog this month, Lily Meyers, looks closely at how music can help us study better. But perhaps singing at the top of our voices, isn't quite the way to go...
This month Anisha discusses the issues that arise once we leave the structure of school and find ourselves with more 'free' time on our hands. It is important to not get overwhelmed by what others are doing and trust in our own decisions.
After Green Careers Week last week, Minna Davies interviews Freddie Ireland.

If you've already completed your Uni applications, don't start doubting yourself now. Tiffany explains how to find confidence in yourself, build on what you already know and prepare for the next stage... interviews.
.Anisha discusses our mental health, that there's no shame in admitting you need help, and what you can do if you find yourself in need of a little more support.
September marks the start of a new academic year and as such it’s an important time for many of us. After spending months with relatively little structure over the summer, it can be difficult to get back into the flow of following a more rigid school schedule. This blog post highlights some strategies you can implement to re-establish your momentum.
It’s only been two years since I started university in Scotland, and now I am preparing for my year abroad in Europe. Before my travels, I go back to the bonnie land of the brave on a flixbus to visit friends from my familiar town. Anticipating those I will be meeting in the coming year, I dwell on the significance of these connections to enjoying time away from home.
Knowing how best to navigate a graduate job interview may be making you feel slightly anxious and apprehensive – especially when you’re unsure exactly what questions you’ll be asked. However, one of the most common during the process that frequently arises very early on is - "Can you talk me through your CV?"
When you’re getting ready to pack up and move to university, insurance is probably the last thing on your mind. Some students may not even understand what student insurance is and why they may benefit from cover. We’re going to look into what it is and some tips for getting the right policy for your needs.
I’ve always been interested in the ways various projects, events and interests can intersect into a common thread. August 14th marks the date for the partition where India was split by the British Empire into two different countries: India and Pakistan. This blog looks at the partition through the lenses of two of my most recent projects: “Roots” which explored rediscovering the origins of ecology through South Asian identity, and the latest issue of my magazine, SINK, which focuses on what it means to rewild.
(Well, that’s if you’re in Y13 or 11)
If you’re like me and have just finished Y12 you can continue enjoying every morsel of freedom you have this summer, while you still can… It’s typically presumed that as soon as students have graduated and left their university life behind, they’re filled with excitement about what the ‘real world’ has in store for them. Yet, this isn’t the case for everyone. In fact, some new graduates find it extremely difficult to contemplate their life without the structured education they have always known and are anxious about what comes next.
We’re constantly reminded about all the crazy things going on in the world – some of these things are good (new world records, Olympic athletes, world class musicians, scientists and creatives showcasing their skills and artistry) others are far from this reality (natural disasters, wars, horrific crimes and so on). Oftentimes it can feel difficult to navigate a world filled with so much darkness – sometimes you may even wonder if there’s any good left out there. I’m here to tell you that there is and that you can be a part of this. In previous posts I’ve touched on how acts of kindness can improve your wellbeing and outlook on life – today we’re going to look at this in more depth in the hopes that you’ll be able to make some positive change this summer.
In the early 19th century, Romantic poet William Blake wrote a line which encompassed infinity: ‘to see a World in a Grain of Sand’. In these atoms of ink sat bubbling the promise of everything - from an expansive universe to the most petite of plants. One singular ‘Grain of Sand’ can be a way of opening up to a whole ‘World.’ In this blog I’ll be looking at why it is important to appreciate the tiny, the small, the daintiest of things.
By now, most Year 12 students would have completed their final set of mocks before Year 13 and are beginning to think about UCAS, personal statements and applying to uni. For many of us, these mocks provide significant evidence for what our performance in a year’s time could look like and constitute much of our predicted grades which will ultimately determine what we’ll be doing in September. Naturally, this is a very stressful time and while your mocks might have gone incredibly well, I’d like to share some thoughts for those who aren’t feeling so great about the outcome.
