The Girl in the North was born as I was getting ready to graduate from University. If you've ever lived through a final year of uni you will have some idea of how stressful, scary and nerve wracking this time is.

 I hope you enjoy this new venture of mine, expect sarcastic comments, trivial moans and one northern girls ramblings about everything and anything.

I make a year list, a term list, a module list. Name a list and I've probably made it. My life already feels so much more together when I have a l...
