I guess this is going to be a bit of a retrospective blog post seeing as I’m feeling quite sentimental after just having finished my undergraduate degree. These past four years at Leicester have been some of the best of my life. It’s not going to be easy to sum them up in one post […]

So that’s it! A few days ago I sat my last ever exam of my undergraduate degree. Admittedly it wasn’t the best exam I’ve ever done, but I’m trying not to dwell on that. I’ve been writing essays/studying since the start of the Easter break so it’s really nice to be able to relax and enjoy the […]

Before I say anything, I should probably point out that, with this blog post, I’m not trying to propagandise for Bremain. I’m aware that both sides of the EU referendum debate – voting to remain in and voting to leave the UK – have their pros that appeal to different groups of people. Maybe some […]

I’m currently writing this blog post from home, where I’m staying for the weekend! We’ve actually just moved house, and this is my first time staying at our new place. It’s nice to have a little break away from everything (and have a couple of my meals cooked for me!) but I am ready to […]

Now’s the time when things start to get real. A-Level results day has been and gone, and many of you will be coming to Leicester for the first time this year. I had so many mixed emotions around this time three years ago. At first I was so excited but, as the start of term drew […]

Being in Japan, I’ve realised just how little I know about Japanese art. The thing is, the University of Leicester’s History of Art department doesn’t dedicate much of its modules or lecture content to art from Japan. I’ve been wondering: Japanese art is really beautiful, so why, in general, is it so often overlooked in […]

Hello everyone, I hope you had a nice Christmas and got what you were hoping for, luckily my boyfriend knows what a sad old codger I am and bought me a steam cleaner and I couldn’t be happier. I was going to write something about new years resolutions, but lets face it, new years […]

Hello everyone, I’m gonna be taking a break from festive frolicking today to bring you a super cool art history blog that now has it’s own website (yay!) Art history, like much western history is incredibly Euro-centric, and hundreds of years of exclusion and white-washing has led to as notable absence of people of colour […]

Todays post will be short and sweet, unfortunately I am bogged down in the end of term assignment rush and I’ve been essentially living in the library for the last two weeks. I do have time to tell you about a film that was recommended by one of my lecturers however, about the British […]

Like most people, I get a bit fed up around this time of year. My heart might be yelling “Christmas!” but my head is definitely saying “cold/wet/windy/dark”. Add to that the stress of assignments and general day to day pains-in-the-butt and you’ve got yourself a recipe for for a raging case of the Mondays. […]
