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 […]

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 […]

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 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 […]

Going on holiday means relaxing away from the responsibilities of everyday life, but my recent trip to Kalkan in southern Turkey proved that continuing to learn is not incompatible with leisure. Whilst I spent a fair amount of the fortnight by the pool reading books (namely Paper Towns by John Green, Insurgent by Veronica Roth […]
