Sports, societies and socials (part 2)
Just like Leicester’s sports network, there are a huge variety of societies to join while in university. Each subject has their own associated societies, all sorts of skills: first aid, gaming, and baking, and helping the community with hungry for change, Nightline, and Marrow (+ many other great charities). I have been involved in […]

Student Awards
Last week I went to the annual Student Awards ceremony. The Student Awards is an event run by the university and students’ union which celebrates the achievements of individuals and student groups throughout the year.

Keeping Fit at Uni
As a student it can be easy to get out of the habit of keeping fit, especially at this time of year when you’re spending a lot of time working on coursework and preparing for exams. Exercise is a good way to de-stress, have fun and get some fresh air. If you’re serious about getting involved, […]

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 […]
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 […]
