Graduation is something else
Graduation is magical, no lie. It definitely was one of the most incredible days of my life. The day began with an early start, soon-to-be graduates and loved ones arriving on campus from across the globe. It may have only been a matter of weeks since I had parted with my fellow course friends, […]
So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye
I hope everyone is enjoying the sun, and those of you who attended the Summer Social Weekender have fully recovered. This weekend, was our last ever Shabang as Leicester undergraduates. It’s sad to be leaving but it’s exciting to be moving towards the next chapter of our lives. Since finishing our Masters project […]
A day in the life of an MGeol student
Fourth-years are beginning to reach the final hurdle of their undergraduate degree. Some are nearing completion of their Masters Research Projects, whilst the majority (me included) run around like headless chickens trying to complete a to-do list that seems to have no finish. I’m going to share with you a normal day of data […]
Linkedin Premium on a student budget – is it worth it?
Since joining LinkedIn a few years ago, I have been inundated with regular emails tempting me to join LinkedIn Premium. I read the first email where it looked tempting and then I looked at the price, and ever since, sent it straight to my deleted folder. However, since graduation is looming, it has […]
The best kind of networking is with cheese and wine

Mine was the usual, but still great to spend so much time with family, eating, catching up with Netflix favourites and watching awful tele, but that’s what Christmas is about right? Now that the New Year has arrived, and so have exams, […]
Geologists on Noah’s Ark
Every year, the geology department dress up for our annual Christmas party organised by the PCSB student society. This year’s theme was Noah’s Ark and was certainly colourful. The work load for fourth year has been beyond anything I thought it could be. So at last, we had a reason to let our hair down […]
Wanting to study sciences? Have you considered geology?
Do you enjoy studying sciences but still unsure what subject to continue in higher education? Have you thought of studying geology? For me, geology is an amalgamation of all sciences. Throughout my degree so far, I’ve had the opportunity to be a geophysicist, a geochemist, a geostatistican, a sedimentologist and a palaeobiologist. I had always […]
Missing Maps
Last Thursday, after a long day of studying and report writing, I was invited by a friend to an MSF event happening at the library. I heard there was free pizza and as a student, I automatically said yes. Prior to the invitation, I had never heard of MSF let alone the Missing Maps project. For […]
New faces in red t-shirts
With term now fully underway, finding time to be sociable is hard. It’s different to switch off; you’re overcome with a feeling of guilt that my time would be better spent studying. Welcome to fourth year. However, one thing geologists definitely do full-heartedly… barcrawls! When we have time for fun, we certainly know how to […]
