I have been blogging for the University of Leicester for over two years now, beginning towards the end of my first year, and through that time I’ve posted almost eighty blog posts via both the Film Studies and History of Art page. But now, today, as my university journey comes to an end I […]

Welcome to the final part of my mini series discussing some potentially useful advice, or things to consider, for each year of your university life. Today I will be talking about the biggest, and probably the toughest, year you’ll have: final year (Third year in many cases). If I’m being absolutely honest I […]

Welcome back to part two of three of me rounding up the advice which I feel would have helped me out, or at least reassured me, going into university, whichever year that may be. I feel like second year is often not discussed, it’s noted as a kind of filler year in which supposedly […]

As promised this is the start of a few consecutive posts in which I’ll be giving you some advice, which I will try and tailor to freshers/first year, second year, and final year/third year. So naturally, in terms of chronology, I am going to start with first year, talking through new starts, friends and […]

Strap in folks, this is going to be a VERY long one… There’s a reason why so many people take a picture outside of their university library clutching a neatly bound paper bundle: your dissertation will probably be the most challenging piece of work you’ll have to do during your time at university. […]

Just over a week ago I handed in my final piece of university work, my dissertation, and finished my undergraduate degree. Sat in my room typing this I can’t quite believe it’s been nearly three years since I stepped into my first year accommodation, in Oadby Student Village, for the first time; all I […]

As I come to the end of my third and final term of semester two (crazy, I know), I realise the majority of people are only just beginning their third term, regarding their final deadlines and exams; feels like it’s not going to end, right? These next few weeks can be really crucial, in […]

Happy Easter weekend everyone, I hope you’re all having a lovely time, especially with all the sunshine! This is just a quick update on where I’m at, particularly in terms of my university work; and of course, forever highlighting the importance of taking breaks here and there.

It’s no secret that if I never stepped into a night club again it’d be 10 years too soon for me. I can’t stand the crowds, the noise, and if we’re being honest, messing around with my sleep pattern really isn’t my jam; but, if clubbing is such a big part of university culture, […]

Today marks exactly a year since I wrote a blog post titled ‘My Future…?’, which I’ll leave a link for here if you want to have a look (My Future…? March 2018). In the post, surprisingly, I talked about the fact I was starting to think about what I might want to do after […]
