Hi! My name is Chris and I'm one of the very lucky Wake Up! bloggers for 2016! I'm a university administrator for a Russell Group university in a fast-paced, high-workload job (like anybody isn't these days) and I'm seeking a bit of balance to my work and commitment heavy life, as is normal for any almost-25-year-old.

I'm trying to try and cultivate a sense of calmness, of balance, and of trying to find time with a hectic schedule of work and life and everything else, to actually breathe and enjoy the world around me.

So... here goes nothing! Here's to 2016!
