Two days ago Greta Thunberg, the Swedish girl who sparked the protests, stood up in front of UN nationals and delivered a powerful speech about climate change. Here is a part of her speech: "You have stolen... Continue Reading →
History Bites: Eleanor of Aquitaine
Hi Biscuit Breakers! Apologies for this week’s absence, I seem to have lost myself down a huge coursework-sized hole and I’ve only just managed to squeeze myself out of it! Today’s History Bites is on the bad-ass Eleanor of Aquitaine, who is deeply underrated, especially due to her involvement in so much of the medieval... Continue Reading →
Planning Your (Entire) Future
Hi Biscuit Breakers, As mentioned in my previous posts, I am currently at the time in my life where I have to look to the future and decide on how I’m going to live the rest of my life. Literally. I have the choice of going to University, getting an apprenticeship, or go into full... Continue Reading →
Film Review: Matilda
I repeat, who wanted to be Matilda? ME! This film adaptation practically cemented my love for little Matilda Wormwood and hatred for her eccentric parents. Danny DeVito you legend.

Book Review: Matilda
Who wanted to dress up as Matilda at World Book Day? Me. Who wished they could have magic powers from reading lots of books? Me. Who completely adored Miss Honey and wanted her to be my teacher? Me.

After the Fire
I don't feel like I'm walking into a home, let alone my home. I try to keep my breathing steady, but I keep faltering. A month today. January still finds ways to prove it’s the bleakest month of the year. I feel like an intruder. The banner of a blue and white police tape surrounds... Continue Reading →
I Hate To Brag, But…
I really hate bragging. Whether its writing a personal statement, a CV or just job interviews in general, we have to 'sell ourselves'. I am currently writing my personal statement for Uni and I find it so awkward when I have to talk about how good I am and why I’m the best candidate. In... Continue Reading →
