The Perfect Getaway to Paris: Coffee, Croissants & Main Character Moments 🇫🇷✨

Paris. The city of love, art, fashion, and... food. After completing my Dissertation last Easter the stress of balancing deadlines and part-time work had worn me down and being able to escape to Paris with my best friend for a few days felt like stepping straight into a movie. Between the aesthetic cafes, dreamy architecture, and getting lost in the little side streets, this trip was exactly what I needed to reset and romanticise life again.

Welcome to The Uni Girl Diaries - A peek into my life!


Hi all, and welcome to The Uni Girl Diaries! I am so excited to finally start this blog and share my journey with you all. If you are a student who struggles with balancing lectures, assignments, work, and a social life - while also making time for self-care and a good diet - then you are in the right place!

I'm Kristen, a full-time marketing student trying my best to navigate this chaotic yet rewarding experience of studying while working part-time. Between rushing to early morning lectures, managing deadlines, and squeezing in shifts at work, my life often feels like a whirlwind with no pause. However amidst all the chaos, I have learnt how to make time for the things which bring me joy - whether it is a quick makeup routine before work, a lunch date with friends, or even the small things in life which we often take for granted like a home cooked meal. 

What you will find on this blog:

I wanted to start this blog because I know I am not alone in the struggle to balance student life with work, personal growth, and fun. My goal is to create a safe space and community where we can all figure this life out together. 

Here is what you can expect from my posts:

📚 Student Life & Productivity - Tips on managing time, staying motivated, and getting through those long study sessions without burning out. (I'm still working on this one myself 😅).

💄 Beauty & Self-Care - Simple skincare routines, makeup favourites, and ways to feel put-together even on your busiest days.

🥐 Food & Adventures - My quick and healthy snack and meal ideas, the best cafes for a quick bite, my go-to dinner spots, and how to plan budget friendly yet exciting trips and holidays.

💪🏼 Work & Hustle - Tips for balancing a part-time job with university and the benefits of having a consistent routine.

Life as a student and part-time worker is not always easy, but I have come to learn through trial and error that it is all about balance. Some days are chaotic, while others are smooth. 

If you have ever struggled to keep up with deadlines, felt overwhelmed by your schedule, or just wanted to find small ways to make student life more enjoyable - let's do this together! I would love to hear about your experiences too, so feel free to drop a comment or connect with me on socials.

Here's to studying, working, glowing, and growing! ✨
