First Year Diary with Áine Fogarty

  By Aine Fogarty Hello everyone and welcome back to my first-year diary! College has begun again and I hope you are all surviving.  Now that we’re back and getting into the swing of things again, life is returning to normal.

First year diaries: spring cleaning

By Darren Casserly Now that we’re in midway through the semester the workload is increasing again. I really missed not having four assignments due in a week. I could have done with a couple more months of no assignments, but what’s the point of being in college if we’re not here to learn. On a completely different, but at the same time, similar topic, (unofficial) RAG … [Read more...] about First year diaries: spring cleaning
