For students, being stuck at home due to an illness or injury can be really frustrating. We all know University is hard work anyway, so the added pressure of trying to keep up long-distance can feel overwhelming. But try not to let it get you down – there are plenty of things you can do to make it easier on yourself.

It’s barely 2 weeks from our first 2012/2013 event but we’ve already started with the exciting activities at full speed! The last one being on 13th October when we visited the International Slavery Museum in Liverpool as a part of the ongoing Black History Month.
I hope and believe naively there’s no person in the world who has never heard of the native African population that has been colonialized and literally enslaved by Europe and America for long decades of fights over lands, gold and resources. Still, it is a world of difference between reading about such things in your student book or watching a documentary and getting such real taste of it like the one you are given when visiting a quality museum.
