Every academic year, around January time, all undergraduate students in their Foundation, First or Second year at the University of Leicester are given the oppurtunity to apply for a Travel Scholarship. Through this, the University offers students money to contribute to a travel experience of their choice; providing it has a defined academic purpose in […]

The time has indeed come for my time as Leicester’s History blogger to end. As I am a graduate and therefore no longer actually doing History. Thanks so much for reading this over the last year; I’ve really appreciated and enjoyed all of it. If you want to go back through any of my […]

I have to be honest here; I wasn’t really looking forward to my graduation day. An unknown amount of hours, sat in a hall listening to speeches and watching hundreds of people I don’t know from one of the largest subjects at the university walk onstage for approximately three seconds each? All while wearing strange […]

Guys, after a lot of careful thought, I’ve decided it’s time for me to migrate. To a new blog. Because I’m graduating and everything. At the moment I’m uploading my travel diary from the month I spent travelling around Iceland, Norway, and Copenhagen. Here’s an extract, and if you like it you can check it […]

As per usual, the news unfortunately hasn’t been great lately. So here is a list of five good things that have happened in recent days to remind everyone that the world is not as bad as it seems.

By my calculations I should be in Norway as you read this. If all has gone to plan, I am currently in a museum, about to eat something delicious having spent the day swimming in a bay. Catch up with me on my Instagram (jai7deo) for scenic-ness. But for now, a blog post in the […]

So after completing my entire degree last week, I’ve decided to leave Leicester for Iceland. Not permanently, that’s just where I’m going for a post-degree holiday before I enter the real world. My friend and I decided to backpack across the Nordic lands of Scotland, Iceland, Norway, Denmark and Sweden for the whole of […]

On the first of June 2017 at 16:30, I put down my University of Leicester History Society pen and finished the last piece of my entire degree. The exams are over, and so is student life for me! Unfortunately for you I’m still the uni’s History blogger until July, so you’ll have to put […]

This is a mid-revision update again, in the form of some things I have learnt about continuing to study right at the end of exams season: For some reason History students have really late exams, and yes it is annoying when your housemates have finished their degrees and you haven’t. However, you can turn this […]

Firstly, I’m sorry I haven’t been writing much lately. I’m at that strange point where I’m not really going anywhere except Sainsbury’s, or doing anything except revising. I won’t complain about exams – thankfully I’ve been able to choose my modules so that I’ve only had two – but all the same revision is annoying […]
