The highlight of June 2018 for me was getting my final dissertation mark back. I scored in the mid 70s, and that was sufficient to ensure that when I graduate next month, I will be the holder of a first class degree. This has made me really happy. I’ve enjoyed being a university student […]

I’m looking forward to the exam season. Am I mad? Obviously! But my excitement of the upcoming exam period is more because I don’t actually have any exams. Nevertheless, I’ve taken examinations in my earlier years at university. I therefore sympathise with any students who are revising hard and feeling more than a […]

I hope everyone had a nice Easter holiday, if indeed, you were fortunate enough to have one. For this blogger, they’ll be no holidays until the dissertation is terminated. Sorry, submitted! One criminology academic once told me that Easter and the beginning of April is either liberation or panic. Liberation in the sense that […]

Years before I was even thinking of applying to university, I frequently heard the phrase: “You don’t know real work until you’ve been to university.” Without focusing on the obvious problems with this phrase, I spent a large portion of my life quite bothered by this phrase, as I experienced a huge amount of […]

As I’ve already mentioned in my last blog posts, and as pretty much everyone is saying, of all the university year, now is usually the most stressful. I’ve spent the past week back at uni comparing my progress on my essays with everyone on my course and it can be super tempting to lock yourself […]

Ever since GCSEs, these few months of essays and deadlines are always the most stressful, but last night my housemates and I took a break at a local gathering of free books and music. Held at the Donkey bar, it was an opportunity to explore more of Leicester’s pub scene while browsing (free!) books and […]

During the Easter holidays, I faced a problem that seemed akin to the end of my degree during deadline and exam season! My laptop broke, which served as a lesson to all my reckless years of yanking out the USB before the computer tells me it’s safe, because now I actually relied on my back […]

January Round up. As you may have noticed, I have not blogged in a few weeks. As current students would be able to pinpoint in one, this is because of the exam season. Thankfully this is over now, and normality can resume! As a 3rd year Criminology student, i had a choice in my sociology module […]
