Hello, I exist, occasionally.

Posted on Tuesday April 30 2013 in life

It's been nearly 3 months since I updated. My bio still says I'm 17. That's not true, I'm a grown up now. I can buy alcohol. Life is great.

Just kidding, I'm not exactly much of a drinker...

This post is essentially a big list of things I've learned in the last three months. Enjoy.


  1. The amount of work I'm having to do at university to maintain my >75% average is increasing exponentially as exams get closer.

  2. I can do all of the most difficult things in all of my classes, but I cannot count or draw diagrams that are any use to anyone, including myself.

  3. I am the queen of ODEs.

  4. I now understand why so many people drop of the face of the internet after they start university, if they're serious students at any rate.

  5. Carrying a really, really heavy bag on your right shoulder for roughly a 12-hour day each fortnight, plus a couple of other hours on other days, will seriously fuck up your shoulder. Life tip: if you regularly go away for weekends, buy a bag with wheels.

  6. Having no cold water on tap is a really big inconvenience.

  7. Judging the baby names chosen by the girls who were in your school year and are now pregnant/mothers is really fun, but also tragic.

  8. I am totally in love with Kimi Raikkonen.

  9. Not really, but he's great.

  10. On a similar note, I suddenly have a huge amount of respect, admiration and general liking for Fernando Alonso. If you told that to the me of two years ago she'd die of shock.

  11. Alter Bridge are great and I'm going to see them in October yay

  12. You would not believe the amount of people who are good enough at passing maths exams to get onto a maths degree but are generally incredibly thick.

  13. Time goes really quickly. Can't believe I'm very nearly finished year 1 of 4 at uni.

  14. I can write really long lists when I want to.

  15. I never know how to finish posts.

Hello and welcome to Blue Stapler, the online home of a Scottish 17 year old called Rachel. It's basically a blog where I try to sound funny and intelligent and ultimately fail(I just come across as self-deprecating and sarcastic, imagine that), but I'm occasionally interesting along the way. Honest.
