The Liebster Awards

Image
So this is new- I was nominated for the Liebster Award by Tom Goodyear, friend and fellow blogger [ check out his blog-here ]. The Award is designed to connect blogs and I for one am all for it! It's very simple really, Tom has sent me a series of questions made by BethanMayBooks , which I am supposed to answer and then pass on some of my own questions to other bloggers (which I will link to at the bottom). For more information about the award check their website here , but without further ado, onto the q'n'a. 1 – Our society has been overrun by a totalitarianism dictatorship; knowledge is power, so any sources of knowledge are illegal and actively destroyed. Including books. It is thirteen minutes past two in the morning and your door is being hammered in by a battering ram. They’re here. They of know your collection.

But I found not only did I surprise myself with how much I got round to doing in a year but I found it easier to remember all of the fun that came with it. Beforehand, I always felt I was stuck on default no. Someone would ask if I wanted to do something and there was always a reason not too. Either too tired, busy or not enough funds.

Welcome to the Madhouse

Hi there, I believe introductions are in order.  I am Caitlin, a 20-year-old student on the verge of Graduation and I'm writing this as a way to cope with the anxiety of going out into the world.  Still with me? Good. 'Cause there's a long way to go. So This Is Me Just your average English (to be Graduate).  And so this is a new beginning for me, right at the end of my life as a student. I often feel like I should have started this a long time ago, and so I may backtrack and #throwback to the few times my life peaked outside of the mundane schoolwork. But now, as my Graduation draws ever closer I wanted to document, to record, and to really just see how much I can get through in the life of an English Literature Graduate. This will mostly include- - Literature and Theatre Reviews - Trials and Errors of Finding a Job/Internship - Travel - And Maybe Some Smaller Side Projects I have First of all, I should probably highlight, yes, I want to ...
