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 […]

Happy New Year, everyone! I hope the first few days of 2017 have been treating you well. As I sit in the Students’ Union writing this blog between finishing assignments it’s hard to believe that this time a year ago I was exploring Texas with my parents as part of my year abroad. Although, obviously, […]

Greetings University of Leicester students, my mum, and anyone else who stumbles across my blog. This is likely to be my last post before Christmas, so to all those who celebrate I wish you a Merry Christmas.

Is it just me or does anyone else get those middle of the night panic thoughts of “I have no idea what I want to do with my life”?! I mean obviously I don’t get them all the time, most nights I fall asleep instantly after watching I’m a celeb without any deep life concerns. […]

Having spent quite a hefty amount of money during first year (“no ragrets”), it’s finally sunk in that I should probably be getting some kind of part time job during second year to fund my (not so) lavish student lifestyle. It’s also been playing on my mind that I should also really be saving for […]

Hey y’all. So pretty much everyone has got their results back now and I hope that you got the results you deserved! It’s hard to avoid Facebook statuses confirming everyone’s final degree mark (guilty as charged) but it’s a time to celebrate whatever mark or whatever honour you get as you’ve now completed university!

Hey y’all. So over the last two nights I’ve watched two cracking television documentaries. One from my main man Louis Theroux and another from the old school Sir Trevor McDonald. Louis focused on mental illness in America and Trevor spent three months with some of the most notorious mafioso in American history. Both of them […]

Hey y’all. In the last few weeks I’ve seen mobs of people all in their graduation gear wandering around Uni. It’s scary to think that this will be me in a few months as my third year enters its entering its last stages. Recently I visited some friends in Kent and the droves and droves […]

Hey y’all! Last week I mentioned that I have been doing some volunteering at the city museum in Portsmouth. One of the main reasons for doing it is to boost the old CV in the hope it will provide something different to the generic work experience that has been plaguing my CV for years. Volunteering […]
