Things to do before you are 21.

Posted March 28th, 2012 by DIGS Admin. Filed in DIGS Student

Here at DIGS we think it’s incredibly important to make the most of your youth. We speak from a position of authority (and experience!!) too, as it was only yesterday that we ourselves were teenagers, happily bounding through the trials and tribulations of life. Then one day, we woke up and realised we were pushing 30 and were no longer the young, carefree souls that we were. Bummer! After we finished crying, we thought about all the things we had (and hadn’t achieved) and we had a bright idea- why not create a list of things to do before you’re 21? Why should it only be the older members of society who get to have a list to check off? Read the rest of this entry »

Posted March 15th, 2012 by DIGS Admin. Filed in DIGS Student

As exam times are coming up, we wanted to remind you about our previous blog in relation to noise. Excessive noise affects your quality of life, it makes you jumpy, it makes you irritable, and it can prevent you from sleeping and can cause many stressful side effects. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s holiday time!

Posted March 14th, 2012 by DIGS Admin. Filed in DIGS Student

We love a good holiday here at DIGS and one of our favourites is the Easter break, purely for the amount of chocolate that you can consume in egg shaped packages. We’re suckers for a Crème Egg too (other amazing chocolate-y shaped eggs available), so if you have noticed a shortage around the place recently, that’s probably our fault. Sorry! They were delicious though! Read the rest of this entry »
