I feel like tons of the international students aren't gonna make it this year, absolutely awful support for them. I feel like the only person they turn to for help

moving back to uni in under a week and this little fucker has decided she wants to spend all day everyday with me... where was this energy over the last 3 months? are you doing this just to make leaving harder? is this a fucked up guilt trip?

I'm learning welsh lately (as I'm very proudly Welsh but I live in the states) but if anyone has any resources for studying the language (or music!!) Send them my way! Diolch yn fawr!

[georgia-stanway]

Signed up for German evening classes probably given myself far too much work and not 100% sure I've picked the right level but being entrusted with the family recipe book when my nan passes feels like a lot of responsibility so I should probably at least try to not have to completely rely on google translate to use it, particularly as the only one who I think could know German is my uncle who lived in Munich for a bit.

someone please write a cute University au fic about wolfstar, remus as a criminology or history student and sirius doing something like film, and they have so many opportunities of meeting each other all throughout first semester, going to the same parties, pubs and all that but always miss each other by just a bit (like remus goes out for a fag and then goes back in just as sirius walks out) but they somehow meet in second semester and become friends and its slowburn and remus has a thick welsh valley accent that is so charming and its a small uni town (aberystwyth ? or maybe bangor?) and sirius plays rugby or football or something???? can someone please write that for me???

trigger warning for mentions of religion

maryam was born and raised in the town of stroud, gloucestershire, around ten miles from gloucester. hers was a happy, almost idyllic childhood spent playing in the sprawling gardens of the family home with her older sister and two younger brothers. while maryam’s sister is technically a half-sister - she’s from her mother’s previous relationship - they never made that distinction. 

her parents had a bit of a whirlwind romance that resulted in thirty-four years of marriage and counting. her muslim father is originally from saudi arabia and arrived to the uk for his physics phd. he ended up really hitting it off with the woman working at the university’s reception on his very first day. maryam’s mother was from a family of anglican churchgoer and a recently divorced single mum. the two married just a year after they first met and welcomed little baby maryam ten months after the wedding.

while the household didn’t necessarily seem all that outwardly pious to outsiders. religion was always a big part of the family dynamic and something that was discussed often and in great length. maryam was a curious child and loved getting involved in these conversations, even when the concepts seemed far too complicated for her. she loved lingering in doorways when her parents had friends over, keen on sharing her opinions and the facts she had so meticulously taught herself.

she was a bright student and went on to attend an all-girls grammar school. she didn’t necessarily love it and despite doing well academically, often struggled with the social aspect of high school. she was kind of an awkward, gangly teen who spoke too little or far too much and couldn’t really figure out what her crowd was for quite a while. she eventually befriended a group of girls, some of whom she’s still in contact with to this day.

maryam moved to london at the age of 18 to attend the university of roehampton. she went on to receiver her bachelor’s degree in philosophy, religion and ethics before completing her master’s in theology and religious studies. while in london, she shared a flat with a fellow uni student. their friendship blossomed into a romance of sorts even though they never officially dated. the situation was fairly messy, but maryam has a lot of fond memories of this time as the relationship taught her a great deal. they’re still friendly with each other and meet up from time to time to laugh at their past shenanigans.  

after graduating, she moved back to gloucestershire and worked as a substitute teacher for a bit before heading to bangor, wales for her phd in philosophy and religion. her thesis on the philosophy of religiously unaffiliated spirituality garnered praise and solidified her decision to pursue a career in academia. 

she moved to notting hill and started working as a lecturer at king’s college london around four years ago. she mainly teaches and researches sociology of religion, including the intersectionality of religion and identity. hopes to land the job of a senior lecturer in the near future, and can’t really imagine doing anything else. 

she shares a small two-bedroom home with a flatmate and her two beloved cats. london is obviously ridiculously expensive, but maryam also genuinely likes sharing her space. she knows she wouldn’t like living all by herself all that much. in fact, she has never actually lived alone as she has always either lived with her family or a flatmate. 

maryam is bilingual and grew up speaking arabic with her father. she’s also fluent in french and studied hebrew, ancient greek and latin during her studies. her streak on duolingo is over two years long, but she doesn’t take it all that seriously. she just really likes mobile games and this one just happens to teach her languages, making it a little more productive than candy crush.

an avid collector of all sorts of trinkets, maryam does not vibe with the minimalist aesthetic. her bedroom is full of knickknacks and keepsakes. she also collects books and dreams of being the sort of person who actually reads the books she buys. to be fair, she does read a lot, but it’s mostly stuff related to her research or the lectures she’s planning. all the new, exciting fiction books have gone unread for years. this fact has not slowed down her buying habits, though.

she’s a bit of a chaos academic. she’s genuinely passionate about her work and believes she’s doing something important and meaningful, but that absolutely does not mean she does it gracefully or without intense procrastination and sleepless nights. 

and here are some super basic connection ideas for anyone interested!

childhood friends! they could be from stroud as well, but maryam also spent most of her childhood summers in cornwall. a friendship where they met every summer for years could be super cute, especially if they fell out of touch and just reconnected!

she has loads of cousins from her mum’s side, so those are always welcome. 

along the same line, a childhood pen pal! since maryam had trouble making friends as a teenager, she poured out her heart to her pen pal. i would imagine they stopped writing at some point but remained facebook friends or something like that. 

people she met during university, either in london or in bangor. could be fellow uni students or just folks who happened to live in either of the cities. 

maryam’s certainly not looking for the one or anything like that, but she does like going on dates and meeting new people. could be of any gender.

Just so you know the bogey/ duck/ green waste of fuckin' space outside Bangor uni has been removed lol

Teens used to hotbox it all the time so council are just putting a park in

I know i saw it was removed and I was like thank fucking god. it was SO EXPENSIVE too and it looked like it was made of polystyrene

[childrenstoryhour]

Hey there! Hope you don't mind me messaging but i just seen your ask over beyond on becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys tumblr.

I went to uni in Bangor for 4 years including the summer and just to say everyone around was really lovely and welcoming around town and very happy to help or point in the right direction! It's probably a good bit quieter as the undergraduate students are away for the summer but I hope you are finding your way around OK.

A good spot for a walk in the evenings if you like is Roman Camp at sunset (should be on Google maps, but it's accessible from a couple of directions, I can try point in the right direction if you need me to :) ), or down on the Straits via the park with the Stone circle.

Blue Sky was a lovely local cafe off the High Street (I hope its still there? But it did have stairs up to it) and there is lots to see and explore about the place so I hope the weather picks up and you get a chance to enjoy the local area.

Hoping you guys find the jet lag eases soon and hope you settle in over the summer!

All the best!

This is so sweet, thank you! We’ll definitely check these places out. We’ve spent the last couple of days resting and are feeling better. Thanks for this message, it really helps!
