Anti-Bucket List: June

June has been a funny old month. It's my first one of life AU (after uni), only I'm still waiting on results and ~graduating~ so we're not quite AU yet. It still has a hold on me and that's okay.

After the EU

Today, we're talking politics.

I don't really know what to say - I'm definitely not an expert and if you've stumbled across this blog post it's probably from Twitter, in which case you'll certainly have heard this all before, but I'm going to say it again. I need to say something and a tweet's not always long enough.

Vegetarianism: What's Your Problem?

This morning, Twitter informed me that today is #WorldMeatFreeDay, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity for me to share some thoughts I've been having for a little while. Namely, offended meat-eaters.

Anti-Bucket List: May

May has been mad. Madder than mad. The whole year seems to have been building up to May and you may (get it? ha ha ha ha) have gathered from previous posts and general online chatter that it's been dissertation months. It's in, it's over, it's done, and I still feel weird about it - I've talked about it here if you're interested.

A Threefold Muddle

It's been a completely mad week. Mad, busy and overwhelming to say the very least. After months of hard work, stress, long days in the library and several mini meltdowns, I handed in my undergraduate dissertation on Wednesday. And now I feel weird. I'm an emotional mess.

I've been thinking a lot in the two days since my hand in and it's come down to three things: I am a threefold muddle.

Anti-Bucket List: April

April has been a combination of celebration and STRESS. More on the good stuff shortly, but first let me indulge in a stress rant. If I look back on the previous three months of the year, I'm sure I've talked a lot about being busy with/fed up with/exhausted by uni work, but that was before the reality of April hit me. The month began at the back end of the Easter holidays in which I did not do enough work and then I spent the rest of the time making up for it. My dissertation deadline is in three weeks time and I finish uni all together in little over a month so I'm sure it's going to go up another level, but for now let's just say I am flat out.

Recipe: Avocado Brownies

Two of my favourite things? Baking and avocados.

You wouldn't think they'd go together would you, but according to Pinterest they do. A little while ago I had a go at making these avocado brownies and while they were pretty goooood, they were a little bit bitter for my liking. HOWEVER, if at first you don't succeed, try and try again, so yesterday I had another go, adapting the recipe to make it sweeter.
