Varsity 2019
As some of you may know, Varsity is a big part of any university, and our Varsity competition is always against De Montfort University. This year, I had a few friends who were taking part in the Ultimate Frisbee Varsity, so a load of us went along to watch and support them, and I […]
How I unwind and relax amidst the pressures of uni
There are times when the uni bubble can feel like too much; you feel under a lot of stress and pressure and like you’re working yourself into a rut. You can sometimes feel this way whether you have numerous deadlines looming or a relatively relaxed work schedule at the time, it’s just part and parcel […]
Making realistic new year’s goals and how to achieve them
I’ve always hated the term ‘new year new me’ as I think it fosters the idea that the ‘me’ of last year (or twelve days ago) somehow wasn’t enough and that a new version is needed. I prefer the term ‘new year improved me’, notably less catchy so I get why it hasn’t caught on… […]

Soccer Eagles
Hey y’all. So here I am in my new house and what a step up it is from last year. A fridge that isn’t sticky and a set of hobs that actually work are just a couple of the improvements. Just a little shameless plug this week from ‘The American Studies Soccer Eagles’. We’re the […]
