I’ve learnt a lot from my first year of University, and most of it hasn’t really come from my lectures. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve doing a lot of studying and reading up throughout my various modules, but I guarantee I’ve learnt more, even if it’s about far more trivial subjects, from the new people […]

As all Leicester University students will know, Oadby, i.e. the mother-ship, is the Leicester suburb home to the majority of our University’s halls. I have a lot of love for Oadby, primarily because most of my first year was spent, when not at the University itself, pottering around the various flats and other facilities there; […]

Wishing to begin a discussion on sex and relationships, particularly at university, I thought I’d start with something that, although hard hitting, is relevant to me. Just under a year ago I went through a difficult breakup, after ending my most serious relationship to date. It’s taken me a long time to adjust, and it’s […]

I arrived home from the United States at 5am this morning, and suffice to say I don’t feel remotely alive. I didn’t really fancy doing a ‘What I Did On Holiday’ kind of post, even though I have lots to say, but I thought I’d talk about the slightly more unique events of the […]

Casting my mind back to this time last year, I had finished my A Levels, officially left sixth form, and was sitting in a foreign country trying to distract myself about the then scary prospect of moving out to University. In hind site I wish I hadn’t have been so nervous, now realising it […]

First things first; as this post goes up I will not actually be tapping away on my laptop, I will be on a long haul flight, hopefully soon to arrive in the United States. So I thought I’d do a bit more of a general post, on my most recent favourite shows to watch; […]

Big news has arrived for many university students this week; turns out that you no longer have to wait until August to find out your overall, and summer exam, results…sorry A-level students! So, first and foremost, just in case you hadn’t guessed, I’ve passed my first year of university! *Fanfare music*. I think […]

So, I’ve officially moved back up north, after my first year of university; granted it has taken me nearly a week to fully unpack but everything is certainly feeling like home again. However, in the past week, I’ve discovered just how busy I was at university and, well, how ‘unbusy’ I am now. Don’t […]

As I’m writing this there’s less than twelve hours left until the polling station doors, up and down the country, open for the snap General Election; additionally it’s less than one week since I officially finished my first year at university, so I guess it you could say it’s an important time on a national and […]
