+ photos of emmanuel college and trinity college on a foggy day
6.4.23 | hitting up the cambridge history library
discovered humanities libraries. they’re absolutely massive compared to science libraries!!!! i’m hiking up to sidgewick site more often for sure

Hi! Can I get some info on the requirements to get into Cambridge?
ofc i'll try my best!
I believe the standard offer is A*A*A, but most people will apply with predicted grades higher than this. usually successful students will attain higher than their offer their final exams anyway (most people I know have at least 3A*). all the courses are competitive so it's good to think about A*A*A as the minimum.
in addition a lot of courses have their own entrance exam - for example for my course (Natural Sciences), we had the NSAA exam. these exam results will also be taken into account when the college organises interviews.
30.3.23 | a visit to the cambridge history of science museum
bit hard to find (down a road i literally never noticed despite walking past it everyday), but entry is free and has a lot of cool stuff! so many microscopes.
28.3.23 | study sesh at the emmanuel college, cambridge library
this main old room is the Fane room - good study vibes. usually it’s quite empty out of term so it’s lovely to study in. now that it’s warming up it’s also a good temperature (the room has absolutely no insulation and is freezing during winter)
hello, i love you blogs, keep it up
thank you anon!!
26.3.23 | mathematical biology notes
catching up to math bio lectures!
my second 2am lecture marathon >>
20/1/23 | first days of Lent term
made some fried rice. you may call me a culinary prodigy.
Heyyyyy, I'm extremely grateful to u for sharing all this. It really makes my study sessions much more enjoyable. I joined uni this week and I'm enjoying lining alone. Thank u for existing. Btw I'm Aniruddh (India)
awe :)) thank you!
24.11.22 | mid-lab photo
synthesised benzocaine, did an IR spec and TLC as well :)
i can’t believe it’s already the end of term AKA time for bridgemas! cambridge has this tradition of celebrating ‘bridgemas’ on 25th november and there’s so many formals and fun events coming up :) perfect because it’s getting cold and dark and rainy
1.11.22 | lunch break and physiology notes
can’t believe it’s already halfway through my first term at uni! ngl it’s difficult to stay on top of everything, it feels like i’m trying to keep up with a moving train ;v;
for halloween i caught up on 3 maths lectures in one sitting. high-key very scary.
i have 2 essays due this week (since when was biochemistry an arts subject?) and 2 questions sheets. but i only have one 6-hour lab so i actually have time to finish the essays and i’m so grateful for that :)
20.10.22 chemistry question sheet
i think in uni i probably won’t have time to make the pretty notes that i used to make, so my blog aesthetic will change a bit. but that’s fine! studyblrs change as the student changes :)
i’m really enjoying chemistry lectures so far! my current lecturer actually wrote one of the books i read last year which is just crazy haha (he wrote ‘Why Chemical Reactions Happen’, which is a Personal Statement favourite for any chemistry, biochemistry students).
he’s really great at explaining concepts - i wasn’t looking forward to learning about spectrometry and analysis but it’s been really interesting
some photos from around cambridge, uk
first look around cambridge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9-DVfdcjgE&t=3s
hiya! just watched your sketchbook video and wanted to drop in and say that your art is utterly amazing 😮 the realism is so cool (might be a little jealous of that ability, haha). also, good luck with the start of uni <3
ahh thank you chazza :) and you too!! can't wait to see more uni updates on your blog <3

You can ignore this if you want but I just need to ask someone this question
So I'll be applying to universities this year and most of the grade requirements are AAB. However, at the end of year 12 I got ACD and my teachers predicted that I'd get ABC at the end of year 13.
Do you think I'll get rejected because I don't meet the grade requirements?
hi, i'll try my best to answer - keep in mind my answer will be purely based on my experience applying to unis in this cycle of UCAS
