I don't often trawl the internet looking for other OU student blogs because life is too busy and you can lose hours and hours looking for, and then reading through, these things when there are arguably more pressing tasks on the horizon.
However, having said that, I noticed from the visitor stats that a blog I hadn't seen before was pushing some traffic in this direction. Well, you've got to have a look haven't you....
OU Student Life will travel with its author on his journey towards a degree in Psychology. I thought the look of the blog was good and looked clean and uncluttered, and the posts were well written and potentially very useful to others following on. I think this will certainly be one I'll dip into now and again.
Surviving The OU came to me via twitter. This appears very much in its embryonic stage of development, as the website structure is there but as yet no content - so one to check back on.

Hi,
I just wanted to say thank you for the mention! I've read just about every post on your blog with interest and look forward to reading many more as you finish your journey. I'm just starting out on mine, but it is blogs like yours that make me think I'm going to have a wonderful time over the next few years.

Hi Damien,
No problem, and good luck with your course and your blog.
I have found writing a blog a real motivator and along with some very active and supportive Facebook groups participation in this sort of online social media has in some ways made up for the lack of face to face contact you get at a brick uni.
I think what you get out of the OU depends on what you are prepared to put in. So, best of luck, and with a bit of work that 2:1 (or better) BA Hons Philosophy is not too far away.
Hi there, thank you so much for the mention. It's great to see your studying progress. Our website is indeed still in a very embryonic stage but we plan on expanding the website and adding some content very soon detailing the beaty of the OU experience (very poetic!). Thanks again and keep up the excellent work.
