So outside of my degree, my dissertation and my love of films and all things screen, I am a huge fan of theatre productions. A few days ago, I had the pleasure of queueing for five hours from 6am (yep.) to obtain a day ticket for Almeida Theatre’s 2017 production of Hamlet. […]

So, another week bites the dust and it seems to only get busier for us Leicester students! Fortunately, barring my dissertation, all of my deadlines are officially completed. It is strange to think that my degree is becoming a series of lasts – last essay, last lab report, last lecture with so-and-so. This is […]

Today the topic is films! As I mentioned in my blogger description, I am a huge fan of most types of movies. It’s a part of my life that I’ve always had having been lucky enough to have parents that loved to sit down and spend an afternoon watching a good DVD (or VHS really, […]

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 […]

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 […]
