As I have no exams this year, only (lol) essays and a dissertation due in, I finish the university year really early on the 8th May. This seems crazy to me as it’s only eighteen days away… but I’m really looking forward to the lack of stress and pressure when I’m done. As I’m in […]
The best shows to watch to unwind from uni
If you’re anything like my friends and I you’ll spend most of your evenings chilling watching TV or Netflix. When I’m not watching a channel 4 show with the girls in the living room, I’ll be watching the latest crime drama with my boyfriend (we love a Silent Witness to get hooked on). I’ve put […]

Applying for jobs when you still have no idea what you want to do
As I’m in final year now I’ve felt the pressure mounting, from both myself and external forces, to find a job for next year when I’m thrown into the real world and released from the uni bubble. Job hunting was initially, and still is to some extent, a daunting prospect as I still had no […]
Leicester living: more than just a uni city
More than being just a great student city, Leicester is a rich multi-ethnic cultural hub buzzing with activity and diversity. While as students you may only be exposed to the very obvious elements of Leicester city life, I encourage you to delve a little deeper and discover that there is far more to Leicester than […]
