So here it is, my last blog post! Firstly I need to answer the question: what next? I have my degree under my belt but what to do with it? I mentioned in an earlier post that I had a place on the Cancer Cell and Molecular Biology MSc, remaining at Leicester. So this is […]

On Friday the 15th of July I officially graduated from the University of Leicester with a BSc in Medical Biochemistry with a Year in Industry (with a 2:1 degree classification!). It was a truly magnificent day, full of celebrations. I was allocated three tickets for the ceremony, so my parents and my boyfriend attended with […]

I am in disbelief at the results of the EU referendum, with the UK voting to leave the EU. I was firmly on the Remain side, seeing this as the sensible decision. From a scientific point of view, I know that science benefits from collaborations in research and I am nervous to see the effect […]

I have officially finished my degree (providing I pass, of course) and to be honest nearly two weeks later it still hasn’t quite sunk in. It’s a strange feeling not having to go to the library every day and at times I have felt a little lost. But of course it has been lovely; I […]

With three exams complete and just one to go, I can see the end. On Friday morning I will be sitting my final ever undergraduate exam. My exams so far have been a mixed bag- one has gone pretty well, another has gone partially well and another not so great. Having said this, I’ve definitely […]

After Leicester won the Premier League title a few weeks ago, the city has been the liveliest I’ve ever seen it. A couple of weeks ago we had the LCFC parade, with the tour bus ending in Victoria Park. As my student house is across the road, I didn’t have much of a choice in […]

I don’t know how many people follow Humans of New York on social media, but those who don’t should. HONY tells stories of the people on the streets of NYC, with a picture to go with each story. Sometimes the pictures show the person who’s story is being told, other times the person will remain […]

As you can imagine, at present life isn’t the most interesting. The highlight of my day is normally packing up my work after a morning at the library and heading to the gym for a change of scenery, before heading back to the library for an afternoon session. My housemates and I wanted to give […]

As most people are probably aware, after exams the student union hosts the ‘Summer Social Weekender’. This is a two day event with three separate parts to it. The first is the Friday night Shabang at the O2 academy, a typical Friday night for Leicester students. The second takes place on the Saturday daytime and […]

Since coming back from Germany I have definitely felt more motivated and focused on my final year. I’ve put a lot of hard work into all of my pieces of coursework this year, really trying to understand the literature and hoping this shows in my work. I have found that I have more of an […]
