Hometown Holidays 1.0
Before coming to university, I never thought I would build such close relationships with my friends/housemates, however, over the past two years, our group of friends have travelled to and stayed in each others hometowns – Devon, Doncaster and London. I had not been able to blog our first two trips, however over our […]
Friends Across the Pond
This morning, I had to say “see you soon” (not goodbye!) to one of my closest university friends – Caitlin. She will be studying at the University of Florida for the next year during her year abroad, whilst I complete my degree here in Leicester. Caitlin is a friend I made on the first […]

Travelling with Depression

I spent the past year studying in Texas and recently travelled back to the US after just starting new medication. One of the not so nice elements of sertraline is that it […]
