Money Matters
Budgeting at university is a lesson best learnt quickly; sometimes having complete control of your finances, often for the first time, can be tough, and always requires a fine balance between splurging and self-restraint. Let’s face it, no-one gets enough student loan to live comfortably, regardless of familial financial circumstances; so here are few […]
Customer Service Is Tough
Pretty obvious statement I suppose, but before going into my job in Walt Disney World, I had very little customer service experience, outside of waiting tables as part of my work experience, aged 15. Disney is certainly a company which prioritizes exemplary customer service, treating every guest as a respected individual, who will […]
Au revoir
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 […]
The Student House
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 […]

My favourite place on campus
To kick off a new academic year, I’m going to talk to you about my favourite place on campus. Although small, the University of Leicester Campus has many amenities, resources, and little quirks that will play important roles in your daily student life. If I’m being really honest, my favourite place on campus is the […]
It’s Been 84 Years…
…Or so it feels. I can’t believe it’s only been a year since the terror, pain and agony that was A Level results day. Actually, let me rephrase that: I can’t believe it’s been a year since the terror, pain and agony that was the build up to A Level results day. The day […]
What’s it like living in a private flat so far
In some of my earlier posts I have expressed my excitement regarding the fact that this year I am no longer living in Student Halls. I also said that I would later tell you about what it is like, so now that I’ve been here for almost 3 months, I thought I’d sum up some […]
