Quotes

...She is studying part-time by distance learning while working for Shropshire Council. "I started the MA programme directly after completing my BA in criminology. I'd really enjoyed my undergraduate programme and wanted to continue with my studies. I particularly wanted to explore the theoretical side in more depth, looking at the social and political aspects of criminology."

"If you're going to stick to this principle, you need to be disciplined and plan out your day so that when a distraction arises or a brilliant idea occurs to you, you know that there will be time for it later."
...not a big deal, but if people feel distressed by them to the point that their daily lives are affected, seeking professional help is recommended. "Everybody lives with all sorts of symptoms, and nobody is completely healthy."
