The students may have headed home for the summer, but campus life certainly hasn’t stopped! ☀️

Behind the scenes, exam papers are being corrected, results are being processed, and the many administrative and service teams that keep the university running are hard at work every day.

At Pugin Hall, we’re still serving up fresh, tasty meals and a warm welcome to all those keeping the wheels turning throughout the summer. 🍽️

A big thank you to our academic, administrative, and support staff for everything you do. We’re here to keep you fuelled!

As This Academic Year Draws to a Close…

As another chapter comes quietly to an end,
we pause to say a sincere and heartfelt thank you.

To our seminarians, residents, students, staff and those who passed by during the academic year, you have brought such warmth, life, and laughter into Pugin Hall each day.

Through shared meals, passing conversations, and familiar faces across the room, you have made this place feel like so much more than a restaurant. You have made it a community.

We have been privileged to witness your journeys, the friendships formed, the moments of joy, and the quiet growth that happens over time.

(We are here throughout the summer, so do feel free to pop in and say hello!)

If not, we look forward to welcoming you back next term.
You will always be welcome,

Dearbhaile and all the team in Pugin Hall

☀️📚 Exam Tip of the Day: Be Kind to Yourself 📚☀️

Another boiling hot day.
Another exam.
Another walk across campus feeling like a Victorian orphan crossing the Sahara 🥵

At this stage students are surviving on:
☀️ SPF
💧 water
📖 panic
…and vibes.

So today’s reminder is:
✨ Be kind to yourself. ✨

Exam season is stressful enough without your inner voice acting like a disappointed football coach.

Didn’t finish all your revision?
That’s okay.

Got one question wrong?
You’ll survive.

Accidentally spent 20 minutes staring into space imagining dropping out and opening a café in Spain?
Completely normal behaviour at this point 💚

You are doing better than you think.
And honestly, surviving exams during a heatwave deserves extra credit anyway.

Today’s goals:
✅ Try your best
✅ Drink water
✅ Wear deodorant (still important)
✅ Speak to yourself like you would a friend
❌ Don’t spiral because one topic didn’t come up

And while the sun continues personally attacking students…
🍽️ Pugin Hall Student Restaurant has the food covered.

Cold drinks, proper meals, snacks, and a safe space to dramatically complain about exams and the weather 💚

Good luck everyone — be kind to yourselves.
Your brain is trying its best in tropical conditions

I spotted plenty of these today but this one was the buzziest! One of the hardest workers in our beautiful campus 🐝☀️

☀️📚 Exam Tip of the Day: Staying Positive 📚☀️

Staying motivated during exams is hard enough…

…but staying motivated when:
🌴 the weather is gorgeous
🍦 everyone is outside
🎉 and your friends have already finished their exams

—that deserves a qualification on its own honestly 💀

If your group chats currently look like:
“Beach?”
“Pints?”
“Road trip?”

…while you’re still revising in the library, we feel your pain 💚

Today’s reminder:
✨ Your time will come. Keep going. ✨

Just because someone else is finished doesn’t mean you’re behind.
Everyone’s exams happen at different times — and yours will be over soon too.

Right now your only job is:
✅ Keep showing up
✅ Keep doing your best
✅ Try not to throw your notes into the sun in frustration

And remember:
Future you will enjoy that freedom WAY more knowing you pushed through to the end.

Until then…
🍽️ Pugin Hall Student Restaurant has the food covered.

Whether you need a study break, comfort food, or somewhere to recover emotionally after seeing everyone else living their best lives outdoors — we’ve got you 💚

Keep going everyone.
Your post-exam freedom is coming soon

Today’s reminder:
✨ Keep going — the finish line is in sight. ✨

Yes, it’s absolutely scorching again today.
At this point, walking across campus feels less like going to college and more like:
🔥 an endurance event sponsored by the sun.

Current student status:
🥵 10% academic weapon
🥵 90% overheated potato

Today’s survival checklist:
✅ Water
✅ Light clothes
✅ Pens
✅ SPF
✅ Mentally convincing yourself “it’s nearly over”

Remember:
You do NOT need to have it all figured out.
You just need to keep showing up and doing your best.

One exam at a time.
One chapter at a time.
One dramatic weather complaint at a time ☀️💀

And while the sun continues its personal vendetta against students…
🍽️ Pugin Hall Student Restaurant has the food covered.

Come refuel, recharge, and treat yourself between exams 💚

You’re nearly there everyone — keep going, stay hydrated, and remember: future you will be VERY grateful you didn’t give up now ✨

☀️🥵 Exam Tip of the Day: Dress for the Heat 🥵☀️

Today’s weather forecast:
🔥 boiling
🔥 roasting
🔥 “why is Ireland suddenly Spain?”

Today’s survival tip:
👕 Dress to stay cool.

Because trying to revise while overheating is basically impossible.
Nobody can focus on exam notes when their jeans have become a slow cooker.

Exam season essentials today:
✅ Light clothes
✅ Water bottle
✅ Sunglasses for the dramatic walk to campus
✅ Deodorant (this is a community service announcement)

Avoid:
❌ Hoodies in 24°C heat
❌ Layering “for fashion”
❌ Becoming a human toastie on the bus

Remember:
If you’re sweating just walking to the exam hall…
that is NOT your body releasing knowledge 💀

And please… we beg…
🩴 maybe reconsider the fluffy slippers in public.

Meanwhile at 🍽️ Pugin Hall Student Restaurant:
❄️ Cold drinks
🍦 Cool treats
🥗 Food that won’t make you feel like you’re melting further
…and air conditioning that may genuinely save lives today.

Good luck everyone — stay cool, stay hydrated, and try not to fuse permanently with your lecture hall chair 💚

🍰📚 Exam Tip of the Day: Reward Yourself 📚🍟

Finished a chapter?
Reward yourself.

Survived an exam?
Definitely reward yourself.

Opened the notes without crying?
Honestly… reward yourself for that too 💚

Exam season is hard work, so today’s reminder is:
✨ Celebrate the small wins. ✨

Whether it’s:
🍪 A snack break
☕ Your favourite coffee
📺 One episode of “just one episode”
🛌 A power nap that accidentally becomes a full sleep

— giving yourself rewards can help motivation and stop your brain from going completely offline.

Because revision with zero joy is just:
📖 reading
😵‍💫 panicking
🔁 repeating

And speaking of rewards…
🍽️ Pugin Hall Student Restaurant has the food covered.

From comfort food to sweet treats and caffeine strong enough to revive your study group — we’re here to help you through exam season 💚

Good luck everyone!
Work hard, take breaks, and remember: every exam survived deserves a little treat ✨
