You know you’re an adult when your best friend gets excited about the fact you bought her a blender, of all things, for her 21st. You also know you’re an adult when you manage to submit your dissertation a full ten days before the deadline. Not to boast, but I’ve been working on this […]

Well it’s about a week later and my life is exactly the same – dissertation, job applications, and revision. But hark! I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! I could feasibly hand in my dissertation before the end of next week! Now wouldn’t that be a turn out for the books. […]

You might not know this, but February is LGBT History month and also the 50th anniversary of the partial decriminalisation of male homosexuality, which means a tonne of events going on up and down the country. Mainly in London, which is annoying because I sort of want to go to everything, but Leicester have also […]

In case you thought this was a satirical Tab-esque article, it’s not. I’m sorry. This is a serious article. There almost definitely is a Tab one though so I think if you Google you’ll be able to find a list which includes something about the nicknames of campus buildings. It’s cheap. It’s so cheap. My […]

Simple. Relatable. Personal. Bullet pointed. In no particular order. Taps Taps is small, but it’s absolutely beautiful. Every cocktail I’ve had there has tasted exquisite. It is a bit pricey (around £8 per drink) but I love it. 1901 Turkey Cafe I’ve never been to a bar with more inventive cocktails. […]

As promised, here is the video I put together of the Bonfire Night celebrations at Abbey Park in Leicester. It was such a great event, so I thought I’d share the atmosphere even if you couldn’t be there

So third year has turned out to be as stressful as everybody says it is. Don’t get me wrong – I’m still having a fantastic time, but I am having to constantly make sure that I stay on top of things. So I’ve decided to treat myself to a mini break. And no, this is […]

There’ll be a moral in here somewhere. Something about never passing up the opportunity to go to a pub. If the notion of vegetarianism angers you, this is your trigger warning. I’ll admit I’m not strictly vegetarian. I never really learnt how to cook meat, so at uni I’m pretty good. Unfortunately my […]

You might remember that I started an internship a couple of weeks ago. I’d just like to comment on a couple of things. Bad things that could happen on an internship: Having to get there in rush hour An awful boss who makes you do all their dirty work Ending up having nothing to […]
