Student diary: Rachel
Snowdonia
Snowdonia National Park

Rachel is a second year English & History student at York Uni. She reckons Wales resembles New Zealand, and judging by this photo, we have to agree with her!

Read her diary entries here.

Freshers read this
"Make sure that you don't look atrocious on the passport photos that you send in to your departments. I didn't realise that the History faculty display these on notice boards."

Freedom to do whatever...
Fearing looking foolish (Surely not, Ed.) Rachel hides in the library, only to find she's unexpectedly challenged to reflect on her freedom.

Expats
"In universities across the country there is an obscure group of students misfits. Not quite as socially shunned as computer scientists and not quite as brazenly odd as those who run around and re-enact Medieval battle scenes in full wattle and daub costume."

Valentines Day
If Valentines day brought on feelings of panic and the urge to spend too much money on a terrible card, Rachel has some wise words:"Try not to get too upset."

January Blues
I started this New Year like I do most. Feeling at my most inappropriate to start afresh - hungover, full of regret and still wearing yesterday's clothes…

Diary of a 21 year old
"People sometimes ask if being a year older provokes you to feel any different. For the first time ever I must admit than in a strange way it does."

Meet Rachel
"I also have links with Wales, which has lead to a certain degree of abuse from my non-Welsh friends."
