UNTITLED 

erica

Well I just googled “How to write a bio” and I still have no idea what to say. I’m Erica Toms, 22 and a third year History student at UWE. I want to be a writer because I am a huge chatterbox and I want to change the world. In other words, I fancied sharing my views on undergraduate life in general from my wine-fuelled perspective. This column has no theme, its “untitled”, but as I seem to get myself in some clumsy Bridget J. style situations I hope you will enjoy my personal mix of tales, ramblings and contemplations.

I’m a people-person, but then what other kind of person can you be apart from a cat/dog person? I study history which is a lot of hard work. It’s enlightening but largely full of death and destruction. I’m always talking about the 18th century and feminism, which makes drunken conversations in bars a bit more ridiculous. I live in Clifton, It’s very pretty but there are a lot of snobby people and they make my life hell. Mainly taking all the parking spaces and frowning at me when I attempt a few manic-rush-to-uni car manoeuvres. I’m applying to do a Creative Writing MFA in the States. Nothing big or anything… Hopefully they will teach me how to write. Well.

The Bucket List

Having sent off one postgraduate application to Oxford, and one of us still soul searching for future direction, we realised that it was time to do all of the amazing/ridiculous and mundane things that we never got round to doing so far at University.  Facing the impending doom of adulthood has not been an easy task. So we’ve decided to put it off for a little longer, and create a University ‘Bucket List’.
