I’ve been working on my essay on Tocqueville for a while now and have made some progress! I am just on my way to help with a really cool speaker event hosted by the CU Southeast Asian society :)) #CambTweet

I’ve been taking the past few days slow which was actually quite good for my mental health 😊 I feel like I’m now resettled in the Cambridge rhythm again which is nice. I also went to steel band rehearsal for the first time tonight and that was fun! #CambTweet

[Cambridge HisPol @cambtweethispol]

Learned not to procrastinate too much through the hard way...missed my coursework deadline and it’s also super rushed :/ that said I did still go to a dance lesson tonight by the CU kpop society 😂 #CambTweet

[Cambridge HisPol @cambtweethispol]

Still working on my coursework, I’ll never procrastinate again💀 #CambTweet

Sorry about being AWOL from this account :(( had a very restful break which means I got no work done 🙃🙃🙃 #CambTweet

[Cambridge HisPol @cambtweethispol]

Haven’t posted in a while as I’ve caught a really bad cold...that combined with the week 8 workload is just great... #CambTweet

[Cambridge HisPol @cambtweethispol]

I managed to be somewhat productive in writing my coursework today...cooked with friends in the evening and watched Dara O’Briain’s stand-up and loved it! #CambTweet

Thanks to the college welfare officers who organised a really fun gingerbread men decoration thing today 🥰 see below for an accurate depiction of Michaelmas term for me :) #CambTweet

Had an amazing BME formal at college last night, loved both the food and the message it conveyed :) back to rushing another essay on Hegel now😂 #CambTweet

[Cambridge HisPol @cambtweethispol]

Had 3 consecutive lectures and a supervision today 😴 week 5 blues is only just approaching 😂 #CambTweet

Handed in an essay! Quickly moving onto the next one now loll #CambTweet

[Cambridge HisPol @cambtweethispol]

Approaching an essay crisis! Let’s hope my international organisation essay goes well tonight...and the new Christmas Toblerone latte at costa is good! 😋#CambTweet

[Cambridge HisPol @cambtweethispol]

Currently in the middle of a very busy week and being very indecisive about what topics I should do next with my world history paper...there are too many topics I’m interested in. #CambTweet

[Cambridge HisPol @cambtweethispol]

Did a lot of café studying today again, went to a birthday party of a friend tonight and was blessed with amazing Ceilidh music and fun board games! #CambTweet

[Cambridge HisPol @cambtweethispol]

Nothing unusual happened today, just studied for some time in a café, been doing too much stuff recently and needed some ‘alone time’ to recharge :p #CambTweet

[Cambridge HisPol @cambtweethispol]

Went to my international relations lecture, did a few more readings on the world history paper and now going to a talk at Jesus College! #CambTweet

[Cambridge HisPol @cambtweethispol]

I am at the stage where reading an abstract is equivalent to extreme productivity. #CambTweet
