Revision, revision, revision. That’s a pretty accurate summary of my life currently. It’s that time of year when most students are busy with exam prep and deadlines. So how should you make this time as productive as possible? 1) Pick where you revise best: its easy to want to revise in bed but lets […]

That’s what I seem to have been doing for the whole Christmas holidays so far! I don’t like revising at the best of times (who does?) but I have a particularly strong dislike for it during the festive period. There are so many things I’d rather be doing but unfortunately both of my exams are […]

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 […]

After almost a week at home for Easter it’s time for me to head back to Leicester. I’d love to be able to spend more time at home, but unfortunately I don’t seem to be able to get much work done back in Nottingham. I guess this is for the following reasons: 1) The library […]

Thankfully, today is a day that only happens once every four years- February the 29th! As a final year student, the leap year came at a good time. I know that sounds ridiculous as it’s only an extra day, but I’m viewing that extra day as a head start on coursework. Now, onto March… […]

So, the next and last milestone, for final year, will be getting through these blooming exams! I have 4 exams, spread out between the 23rd May and the 5th June. Some may say that that’s a blessing, except for the unfortunate assignment of 2 exams on the 28th and 29th of May!!! Well, I shouldn’t […]

The fun thing about revising for final year exams in Biological Sciences (Microbiology), is that the top marks for exams will go to those who have incorporated wider reading into their answers. This can give you the excuse of reading, listening or watching a science piece, and making you think ‘this counts as revision’. It […]

I know that this blog title may give the impression that I’m bitter about a certain ‘loving’ holiday, but I’m really not. I agree with the fact that you shouldn’t need Valentine’s Day to do something special for the one(s) you love, but certainly have nothing against people taking the opportunity to do so. Maybe it’s […]

Caught up in the throes of revision I almost forgot that today was a bank holiday. I only realised when I woke up in the morning and everyone was still home that it was a bank holiday. I decided to go out for the day but quickly thought better of it when I saw how […]

After four years as a student at the University of Leicester, I have started to get restless and find myself dreaming of days when exams are no more and I actually have time on my hands to relax in the evenings and weekends. Imagine being able to read a book without having to worry about […]
