Introduction!

Hi Everyone!

So, I thought it would be a nice idea to document my time as a postgraduate :). It would be a great way for me to keep up with my progress and hopefully to help me de-stress, but also to inform others who might be thinking about moving on from university to further study about post-graduate life based on my own experiences. 

I am by no means the most intelligent person on the planet, which I hope will make my blog accessible and applicable to lots of people. I have just graduated from Southampton University with a 2:1 in BSc Geography, and am moving on to Royal Holloway, University of London to study MSc Quaternary Science (yeah I know, no one else knows what that means either...) starting at the end of September 2014. I have been told that this course is very intensive and requires a lot of focus, dedication and hard work. I have been highly prone to stress in the past so documenting it is definitely going to be interesting, but I hope I and others can take something from this blog about how to cope with advanced study (or how not to, as may be the case!).  

I hope to work my absolute hardest at something I love and make lots of new friends along the way :).
