Swapped the library for lilies and honestly? One of the best decisions we’ve made all week - cause study breaks are important. We popped along to a Be Part of It flower arranging event and are so glad we did. We learnt some new skills (cut your stems at a 45° angle so they absorb more water! Like who knew??? We are now telling everyone!), made some new friends, and had a proper break from staring at a screen in the library. And because it’s a Be Part of It event it was discounted for Northumbria students which can make such a difference when you’re trying to do fun things without spending money you may not have.
