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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Confessions of a Student: Part 2
When university starts, you both embrace the independency (like me) and miss your pets like crazy, or you’re badly homesick and want to go home at every opportunity. It’s normal to be either. I was so immersed into university, I somehow forgot to be homesick. However, everybody is different. Something I found recently was that […]
Confessions of a Student: Part 1

Among many other things, these need to be considered into our budgets. Some students are really lucky they can rely on the bank of mum and dad for either a weekly allowance or […]
Cocktails – ‘You guys must be in third year’
It’s a positive correlation; the amount of work you get and how much you party. An obvious fact to students, but until now I didn’t realise just how different I am now to how I was in first year, in terms of how I socialise. My housemate from last year visited us from her year […]
The Infamous Geology Red T-shirt Bar Crawl
The University of Leicester geology society organised a series of socials throughout the year, the first of which is always the infamous red t-shirt bar crawl. This is the third year running for me and it still isn’t boring! (although a tired looking table of 4th years may indicate that they have been doing this for too […]
Clubbing vs Pubbing: which is best?
Throughout my time at university I have done a lot of these two things; clubbing does not refer to beating people with a wooden bat, it is the act of drinking alcohol (on the scale of none/not a lot to probably too much) and dancing in a room to extremely loud music with lots of […]
