I’m in Stage 2 of Journalism, Media and Culture at Newcastle and this is what I would consider a productive day for my degree...

I slowly started the day at 7:30am with a cup of coffee and some cereal, and then got the bus into campus for my 9am lecture as I simply do not have the strength for a 40 minute walk into campus that early. The lecture was for Media Law and Ethics where we delved into ethical issues on reporting crime and death.

After the lecture, I had a two-hour gap and decided to be productive by staying on campus. I grabbed some lunch from the Co-op and headed to the Henry Daysh, my favourite building on campus, to catch up on some reading.

Later, I went to Luther’s for a committee meeting with the Media and Journalism society to discuss and organise future socials and workshops.

Then, I had a two hour seminar based on that mornings lecture which was very engaging and interactive. After that, I went home to come up with ideas and draft this article. Whilst I hoped to continue my productivity, the 3pm tiredness eventually won and I had a nap – we can’t always be academic weapons.

In the evening, I got ready for the media society bar crawl which was themed dress as your favourite piece of media – I chose to dress as a minion. For one of the first socials of the year it was exciting to meet so many people and see everyone’s costumes. We started at Luther’s, made our way to The Dog and Parrot, we ended at The Cut and then I headed home to sleep.
