Posted by Arllen in Biological Sciences on April 16, 2017

Happy Easter everybody! I hope you are all having fun eating lots of chocolate. If you’re like me and chose the sad option of continuing revision through this holiday weekend, make sure you have lots of nice food today, okay? So today I decided that I would create another one of my beloved […]

Monday Motivation: ‘Let’s Go Library’

Posted by Arllen in Biological Sciences on October 17, 2016

Inspired by the regular visits I’ve been paying to the Library due to my copious amounts of dissertation reading, I am going to dedicate today’s blog to the hub of every university. David Wilson Library. Image taken from Wikipedia. Isn’t it just the prettiest? So I’d like to cover the essential things you should […]

Goodbye from me…

Posted by Daisy in Biological Sciences on July 28, 2016

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 […]

Graduation; from both sides

Posted by Daisy in Biological Sciences on July 25, 2016

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!).

Summer Plans

Posted by Daisy in Biological Sciences on June 15, 2016

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 […]

The end is near

Posted by Daisy in Biological Sciences on June 1, 2016

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 […]

HONY

Posted by Daisy in Biological Sciences on May 17, 2016

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 […]

Come Dine with Me

Posted by Daisy in Biological Sciences on May 2, 2016

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 […]
