Catch Up With Patch

Hello!

It's week 3 of my blog and I hope people are still reading!

With the exam period approaching for most, and having already started for some, I want to reiterate how important it is that all students of Nottingham University and Nottingham Trent University know that you can call Nightline. The exam period can cause a lot of stress and Nightline volunteers are ready to listen to your concerns.

If you're worried about an exam the next day, Nightline is here.
If you are having problems with your housemates: Nightline is here.

If you're feeling lazy and don't want to look up a take away number: Nightline is here.

If you're battling a disorder and want to talk to someone who won't judge: Nightline is here.

I could go on and on, with the risk of getting annoying, but I hope it's clear that no problem is too big or small. If you have something you'd like to talk about, or information you'd like to enquire about, then please call us! We are students ready to help other students.

Now I must turn to an even more serious note. Patch has a confession to make. It's taken some time to come to terms with. But I think it's happened....... I am addicted......addicted to Ocean. Students each year are overtaken by 'Ocean Devotion' and I have finally succumbed. When I hear that opening tune of B*Witched - C'est La Vie, I know it's time to jump (a lot) and and practice my 'oh-oh's and 'hey-heys'. I've been there every week since we've returned from Easter and don't plan on stopping. A big thank you to the volunteers who came with me on Friday to the Nottingham University Ocean night, I would like to make a special thanks to you for not letting anyone steal my head for the first time!

Finally, look out for me giving out FREE HUGS and study packs with our Nightline Volunteers over the next few weeks during the exam period. Please do come and say hi if you see us!
