If that title didn’t immediately put Bon Jovi into your head, shame on you…(Moving swiftly on!) Chances are that next time I write for this blog I’ll be officially on my birthday and Christmas countdown, back up North in my home town. So I wanted to reflect back on my time in third year […]

This week marks my final annual return to Leicester; frankly it feels pretty unbelievable, when I think of all the vivid memories I have of moving into Oadby when I was 18, ready to take on freshers. I can’t say my journey through university has always been a smooth one, with making friends, navigating […]

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you’ll miss it!” ~ Ferris Bueller, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Potentially not the best role model, but Ferris Bueller, as a fictional young man, made a point that is just as applicable as it was in the nineteen-eighties. Lately […]

After two years of blogging for the university, we’ve reached my last ever post. I suppose it’s only right that I share my pearls of wisdom to all those prospective students out there. (Disclaimer: I’m not that wise, I’ve just been a student for quite a while now.) How do you get the best […]

On Friday 14th July 2017, I graduated from the University of Leicester with a Bachelor’s degree in Modern Languages with Film Studies. After four years, the day I thought would never arrive, finally did. Graduation is the last day you and your course friends will spend all together. It’s when you realise this that […]

Yesterday my parents made the long drive to Leicester to pick up all my stuff ready to move out of my last student house. It’s only once you move out that you realise just how much stuff you have accumulated over the course of the year. Yet at the same time you marvel at how […]

After months of cold, wet, and windy weather and spending evenings wrapped up in dressing gowns and duvets, the sun has finally decided to come out to play. I don’t know about you, but the weather really affects my enthusiasm and motivation. It puts me in a good mood and makes me feel like I’m […]

Now, you’ll come to find that, at university, there are parts of our course that you like, and others you don’t. That’s completely natural, don’t feel bad. Just because you’ve chosen this particular subject to study at degree level doesn’t mean you have to love every second of it. Learning a language has many […]

A couple of weeks ago my house was burgled. While it was a horrible night, coming back to a ransacked house, it’s one of those life experiences that ultimately makes you stronger. As this happened to me as a student, I wanted to share it with you and talk about general safety issues that come […]

With just under two weeks left before I have to hand in my dissertation, I am freaking out more than… something that usually freaks out. Unfortunately I have no insightful words of comfort, wisdom or advice for times like these because it feels as though my brain has been turned upside-down by stress and panic. […]
