Question Time: Uni Student Version
Posted by Arllen in Biological Sciences on February 19, 2017
So last week I had a thought about writing a post on the types of questions that I would have loved to ask a university student but was either 1: too afraid to ask 2: missed the chance to. The thing is, they always tell you to make sure you ask everything during events, […]

Campus Explorations
Posted by Arllen in Biological Sciences on February 12, 2017
Snow! There was snow in Leicester this week! As expected, everything was fun and exciting until the gusts of wind came and it was just chilly and damp. Regardless, I hope you are all staying warm and everything went well with results! So today’s blog topic is on something that I have decided would […]

Practicals: Friend or Foe
Posted by Arllen in Biological Sciences on January 26, 2017
I hope everyone is having a great time back from holidays and exams. I have found that it is always slightly tough getting back into the swing of things after a long holiday and revision period – but well done! You survived and there is a whole new block of learning to look forward […]

Weekend Recommendations: De-Stressful Films
Posted by Arllen in Biological Sciences on January 14, 2017
Exam time is upon us but as a third year, I have been given this one off! Whilst I’m sure I would have looked on these few weeks with excitement at the start of semester, I can honestly say that I am as busy as I would have been if I had been revising. Admittedly, […]

The Three Students You Meet At Lectures
Posted by Arllen in Biological Sciences on December 24, 2016
Happy Christmas Eve everyone! I hope you are all resting well. Although I can’t imagine this is the most exciting topic considering that it is the peak of the holidays, I was writing up some lectures today and could not get this idea out of my head. When inspiration strikes, you follow it! […]

Surviving the Holidays
Posted by Arllen in Biological Sciences on December 11, 2016
Receiving emails from various people at university reminding me of the endless list of things I have to do, alongside a warm reminder to ‘remember to take a break’ seems strange and contradictory. After all, if I was to really power through all the things on my to-do list in the holiday period, then […]

The Apprentice: Working In Teams
Posted by Arllen in Biological Sciences on November 14, 2016
Have you all been following the Apprentice this year? Is it just me or are the mix of people more bizarre than usual? By that I mean, they seem to genuinely find it hard to work together. Although this was clearly intended for the purpose of entertainment, I can’t say that anyone would approve […]

Staying Healthy: Winter is Coming
Posted by Arllen in Biological Sciences on November 5, 2016
I don’t know about you, but it’s getting pretty chilly outside. It’s easy to forget how quickly winter is catching up. In fact, I only took notice when I realised how many jumpers I was willing to put on last Monday morning! With that time of the year on the horizon, it’s fairly […]

Not So Spooky: The Scientific Literature
Posted by Arllen in Biological Sciences on October 30, 2016
It’s almost November and I can’t believe how quickly time is flying. Having a dissertation on the side means that I’ve been strangely lacking the deadlines that tend to characterise my Halloween weekend. Today, I’m going to dedicate this post to a spooky activity that all Bioscience students eventually relate to once they’re in their final […]

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 […]
