Graduation

Signing Off

Posted by Becky in Economics on July 30, 2017

Tomorrow, the 31st of July 2017, officially brings my student blogging experience to an end. It not only marks the end of this job but also brings me officially to the end of my university experience. Even though I graduated a couple of weeks ago, having this blog meant that I still had some official […]

Deciding on My Next Steps

Posted by Becky in Economics on July 25, 2017

Now that the excitement of graduation has calmed down, it’s time to decide what my next steps are. I have a lot of differing ideas going on in my head, and organising them into pros and cons is proving somewhat difficult. My current day-to-day activities consist of blogging, learning to drive, looking after my mum, […]

ConGRADulations

Posted by Becky in Economics on July 14, 2017

On Thursday morning, I officially graduated from the University of Leicester. It was a day that I knew would be special, but I really couldn’t’ve imagined just how amazing it would feel. To hear your name called and get to walk across the stage in front of all your fellow graduates, friends, professors, and […]

My Degree Results Arrived?!

Posted by Becky in Economics on June 29, 2017

Two weeks ago I emailed the Economics Department asking when our exam results would be released. They promptly replied telling me that I could expect my results to arrive at the end of June. Fast forward a few days to the 23rd of June (definitely not the end of the month), I landed back in […]

No More Summer Holidays?!

Posted by Becky in Economics on June 21, 2017

My past 20 summer seasons have consisted of going on holiday, seeing friends and just having a really fun time. Summer has never been anything but a time for enjoying yourself whilst waiting for the next school/6th form/university term to start. However, this summer is a little different… Two weeks ago I officially […]

Weekend of Applications

Posted by Becky in Economics on November 20, 2016

This past weekend, I set aside a few hours to seriously look into and apply to graduate schemes and jobs. This is a task that has been on my list for quite some time now, and I have been successfully procrastinating starting it for the entirety of third year. However, I figured since most […]

The Last Lap

Posted by Larona in Economics on January 31, 2016

I think we can all agree that the past couple of weeks have been quite hectic. From the winter break, to Christmas, to exam preparations and finally writing the actual examinations. And before we knew it, semester two was upon us. As a final year student, the second semester is basically my last lap. The […]

Final year countdown

Posted by Larona in Economics on October 21, 2015

Every time I have to introduce myself these days I keep having to mention that I am a third year. My final year, it still seems so unreal even though it’s been weeks. And if anything was to jolt me into reality, it was the Third Year Welcome Talk. As if being a final year […]

When I graduate…

Posted by Larona in Economics on July 19, 2015

Graduating is one of those important rites of passage that every university student should experience. This past week I had the privilege of witnessing some of my friends receive their hard earned degrees from the Chancellor. It was a beautiful short ceremony, which I was glad for, after all no one enjoys sitting down doing […]

Things that I would miss about being a student

Posted by Alisa L in Economics on May 17, 2014

So the end of May is drawing near. I have less than 2 weeks until my exams are over, which only means I’m finished with university. As wonderful as it may sound, it is scary at the same time. So while I’m procrastinating over my revision, a list of things I would not want to […]
