Day #123

Hey there! Today was the day of the korfball tournament. My team came 2nd which is wicked and the winner was only decided in sudden death penalties. I didn't actually get any photos from the game so here is a photo of me dressed for tonight's social - charity shop. This, along with UV paint, it won't be too hard to spot me tonight.

Until tomorrow 

Will :)

Day #122

Hey there! So today, after korfball, we went charity shopping for tomorrow night's social. We looked for the whackiest clothes and I think we found them. I'm wearing a bright yellow t shirt, a red gilet with a badge saying "rock n' roll" on it and camouflage shorts. The second photo for today is my friend Ben who is wearing long johns and similar material top. Should be a fun night!

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #121

Hey there! One more day until the weekend, we can do this! Today I had a seminar and korfball. I didn't go out last night so I'm feeling pretty good. Tonight I'm having burritos and watching Louis Theroux. Today I found out my team for the tournament this weekend, I can't wait!

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #120

Hey there. Wednesday's are my day off, although, being a student, most days are similar to a day off. Today I read through Othello, the Shakespere play we studying  this semester, I loved it. Tonight is the korfball social so time to have a few drinks.

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #119

Good evening! Tonight myself Becca and her housemates went to watch another of Bex's housemates perform in a musical showcase, it was great fun! Tomorrow is korfball social, the theme Is to wear something orange and beyond that is up to us. Regarding this,y plan is to stand for social secretary, meaning that I plan the socials each week, I have to be voted for it on the 19th of March so wish me luck!

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #118

Hey there! Today I took a walk around campus, this is what I saw on our university steps. Elections are in full swing and as a result, everyone wants a vote!

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #117

Good afternoon! I am a little bit ill, I think I've picked up a cold but I'll survive, I'm going to see Becca and probably sleep. This morning the plan was to go and play music with a fried but my throat is way too sore. Instead I stayed in bed reading Othello - there are worse ways to spend a Sunday.

Day #116

Good evening all! I am currently in bed, last night got very heavy very quickly. I woke up with a pounding head this morning but hey ho, it's all good fun. Tonight the plan is to get a pizza and chill, tomorrow I'm playing music with a friend.

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #115

Hey there, this morning I was woken by a fire alarm test. It was 9:30 but as a student, that's essentially 6AM. Today I had korfball and my workshop, the group said they liked my poem and the way that it's 1 line off being a sonnet (ignoring intricate details). Tonight, as students on a Friday, it is the ritualistic drinking session, hosted by my flat, should be fun.

This is my poem:

Drink 'til you sink

to the bottom of the ocean,

in a boat made of bubbles,

with your head in a muddle

over things you have or haven't done.

Things you've got to do,

Things you said you wouldn't.

Your aftershave can mask your shit personality

But can it really make you a better person?

My heart goes out to those on the edge of the bully circles

The people that wanted to fit in

The people lost in a social sea of vast vanity

Rejoice if you'll never fit in

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #114

Good evening! Today I had a lecture, a seminar and korfball. Tomorrow I have a workshop whereby we share poems and ideas in a chilled environment which is really useful. Today's photo is of my door, here at uni. Originally I had a tiny note saying "Wingles" but my flatmates have just added things to it which is kind of them.

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #113

Hey there! Super quick post, tonight I am on a korfball social. Mainly involving eating rather than drinking, so fingers crossed I'll feel fine tomorrow

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #112

Hey there! My newest article goes up tomorrow, I've been to korfball and 2 lectures today, I am feeling a little shattered but drinks are kicking off tonight so that should be good fun!

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #111

Hey there! Today I had a lecture and then as a flat we created a bin rota, how crazy was your day in comparison? Tonight I'll be chilling with Becca who got me this lovely card for Valentine's day - What a cutie.

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #110

Hey there! Yesterday was super nice, we had cocktails, a nice dinner and went to the zoo (in the opposite order). However, yesterday as I was leaving Becca's, I made her a hot water bottle in the dark. Big mistake. The boiling water overflowed and went onto my hand. I ran it under cold water for a few hours but didn't get to sleep until 6 in the morning. This was with my hand in a bucket of cold water. Oops, live and learn. Tonight myself and my flatmate Tom are playing some pool at the union with a couple of drinks,

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #109

Hey there! Happy Valentine's day! Super quick post today. Bex and I headed to the zoo in Borth today which was great fun, I fed goats and lemars and then we took a stroll back to get the train home. This photos is taken on Borth beach. Tonight we are off to eat Mediterranean food which I'm sure will be wicked!

Until tomorrow

Will :) 

Day #108

Hey there! Welcome to Friday, the best day of the week! Today I went to a two hour session of korfball and read some medieval literature. Wild times. This is a ping pong ball found in my room, I tried to make a face out of it but it's turned out to look like Jack Skellington. Tonight I'm taking it very easy before Valentine's day.

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #107

Hey there! Yesterday my team won the scavenger hunt and the prize was a monumental hangover this morning. The bottom two photos were taken last night. This is a super quick post, a Chinese is going to be eaten tonight.

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #106

Hey there! Tonight is the korfball social - "On the hunt". Whereby we are in teams, drinking and completing activities for points. It should be alot of fun! Today's photo is just the view of my window with my university newspaper below the window, my sports top on top and my blind down. Out of the window you can see towards the town centre. 

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #105

This is my friend Tom. Tomorrow night he has a "Raver social", essentially dress up like a 90's raver. This is what we thought one looked like. Today I played some korfball, went to a couple of lectures and listened to some sweet old school hip hop. Also, my latest article has been published in time for Valentine's day. I'd directly link you but it isn't working. I've linked you to Student Beans Aberystwyth and you will have to find my latest article:

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #104

Hey there! "A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step" and my shoes have definitely seen a few miles. These are Nike Skateboarding team editions and they are super comfy, despite being 2 sizes smaller than what I actually am. Not really sure why I tell you this but nothing crazy really happened today. Becca and I booked our trip to Amsterdam which we are super exited about and I am now watching a few Louis Theroux documentaries.

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #103

Hey there! As a korfball player, my body is quite clearly a temple. Hence why these have gone uneaten for a whole 15 hours now. I will however be eating them in the next few hours so don't panic, I haven't changed much. Today I cooked a fritatta (I'm starting to think it's the only thing I can actually cook) and uploaded my next article for Student Beans (being published on Tuesday). Tonight myself and Becca will be looking at trips to Amsterdam.

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #102

Hey there! This is my lovely girlfriend Becca and we went on a date today. A date with a difference. There is a bar in Aberystwyth called 'Wiff Waff' and is school themed, old boys kind of school. Table tennis is a huge part, as well as cocktails and great food. We had a great time and gave us a nice respite from the cold that we are both feeling.

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #101

Hey there! I'm a poser I know. This is me right before two hours of korfball, I would have taken an aftershot but I was shattered. Today I had my first poetry workshop and they said that they really liked the poem I wrote, a few changes but it's easy to do. Tonight was the first day of the Six nations, England V Wales and, living in Wales, you can tell this was a big thing. We all packed into the union to watch a very close game. In the end, England won and it was great. In the words of Robbie Williams, sing while you're winning.

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #100

Happy 100th day! I can't believe you're still reading but hey-ho. Last night was the korfball social, it was a little bit mad. Starting off with a drink at the union, it soon escalated to shots, more shots and weird cocktails. By the end, everyone loved everyone and taxis were needed. This morning I needed these paracetamol as one was feeling a little bit fragile, but hey ho, it's all part of joining a sport society. After a couple of hours recovery, I had a seminar followed by korfball, followed by a seminar. Tonight I'll take it easy, pizza night may be calling me. Tomorrow I have a workshop for a piece of poetry I (we) have written, I'll post it below, we were asked to think about our national feel of identity and to just write solidly.

The sea, rolling in,

Pulling away at the white cliffs,

Pulling away Sunday lunch,

Pulling at the thread of your duffle coat,

Watching as Sunday league falls to the sea,

We'll meet again,

Don't know when,

In a pub probably,

A bull dog beside a bull-man,

Drinking white lightnight,

Being sick in the street,

Arrested for pissing in a disused phone box,

Sheltering from the wind,

Blowing the page 3 of the Sun,

Blocking out the moon,

Shining down on the teens,

Throwing rocks at a fire engine,

Rocks making up our once great nation,

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #99

Hey there! This is the four foot Diminican flag that now sits in my room. Becca bought me it and totally surprised me, as well as the Ivory Coast's flag which is awesome. Today we watched the university play football against Cardiff Metropolitan. Tonight is my first Korfball social, it'll be great fun I'm sure.

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #98

Hey kids, sit down, I have a few wicked bits of news. First things first, today was the sports fair and I made a promise to myself that I would join a sport, a quick dash round and I had 3 options, 'Ballroom dancing', 'Ultimate frisby' or this little leaflet, 'Korfball', it is a sport invented in the Netherlands, a cross between netball and basketball (more netball than basketball) and as  a result, they have only existed for a term. I went along to a session today and loved it, the next two sessions are on Thursday and Friday, I will definitely be going. I hurt my little finger but it was great fun to be doing a team sport again.

Here comes the even cooler bit of news (in my eyes). Today, I woke up, checked my first Student Beans article, it had 30 shares, people had shared it on social media 30 times. I just checked it before I wrote this blog and it has 5714 shares. That is mental, it seems to have just exploded over lunch time, I love it, so blessed to be a part of such a great and supportive team.

My next article went up today, '8 characters you will meet on a night out in Aber', hopefully people will enjoy that article too.

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #97

Hey there! Right now, i might have 'Hand, foot and mouth' disease. It sucks but it's not the end of the world. Today I got my notes back from Sophie the editor for Student Beans about anything that needs to be changed and so hopefully tomorrow it will be uploaded. Today's photo is a pound  coin that I found on the floor yesterday. That is a win.

Until tomorrow

Will :)

Day #96

Hey there, a photo of the outside of my room. Today I woke up feeling a little bit hungover, we went out last night and got a little bit drunk. I woke up, submitted my next Student Beans article and went for a walk with Becca. I love campus on a Sunday, it's empty, nobody about and it was such a lovely day. The photo for today is the National library of Wales, I'm yet to go there but it looks amazing.

Until tomorrow

Will :)
