Goodbye Leicester!
This is my last post as a University of Leicester Student Blogger. My time at Leicester has gone incredibly quickly and now that I’ve graduated it’s time for me to go out into the real world (and see if it really is as scary as it seems!). Whilst I’ve been a student here I’ve had […]
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, […]

Now that the New Year has arrived, and so have exams, […]
