Catch up with my travels (Part 2)…
Last weekend I went for a girls weekend away to Seville with some of my friends that I have met whilst at uni. We had a great weekend, filled with lots of cocktails, wine, cheese and other good food! Seville is a beautiful city, every street had a gorgeous old European vibe and we visited […]
Catch up with my travels (Part 1)…
As you know a week after my last exam I left Leicester for a few weeks of travelling and sunshine! We flew out to Bangkok for the start of a couple of weeks exploring Thailand! The first night we stayed in Bangkok in an amazing hotel which was very snazzy as a celebration of me […]
Not long until CHRISTMAS…
So it’s not long been bonfire night and for me that signals the start of the festive period, which is without a doubt my favourite time of year! To make it even better this year I don’t have January exams, so although I will have uni work to be keep on top of (that dissertation […]
A Visit to Kew Gardens
This weekend to celebrate the end of my summer placement me and my family headed down to London for the weekend to visit Kew Gardens.

Italy – Part 2:
In my last post I told you about my trip travelling around Italy up until we left Trecase to go to Bari! Bari was really nice in the centre, even though it doesn’t have the best reputation, but if you are going I would definitely stay in the centre not the outskirts. For all our […]

For Biological Sciences students there are loads of options from travel scholarships to summer jobs and internships. It seems a bit full on in your first year to be thinking about all […]
How to prepare for University (and have an awesome summer before you go)

Keep Your Head Up
