Every year around late July-early August, my family and I go on holiday to Dorset. It’s a lot of fun and it’s almost always the highlight of my summy holidays. Because this tradition has gone on for years, I know Dorset well enough to recommend a few touristy spots for you all to visit. Weymouth: This should […]

Okay, so it’s no secret that it’s ridiculously hot right now and I’d imagine that you’re like the Wicked Witch of the West when she makes contact with water. Not to worry, here are some unprofessional opinions as to how to survive this dreadful heatwave. Stay inside in the middle of the day, especially if […]

Introduction One thing I feel you should learn about me is the fact that I have autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), or autism as it is better known. I’d imagine you’ll have one of the following reactions: “What’s autism?” “Oh, I’ve seen Rain Man. I know all about autism!” “Oh, I know someone who has that!” “What? No […]

No..not Christmas, although I’d forgive you for thinking that with all the chocolate tins already clogging the supermarket shelves. We’re a mere two weeks away from university freshers, and a confusing game of Tetris, trying to make all your stuff fit into one car. So, this is a little post for all of you […]

As a film student it’s always a good idea to keep on top of watching cinematic content, and using this to develop reason as to why it is important to digest such media…but then of course the other half of the films I watch I simply do it because I want to. I have a […]

A-Level results have just passed, so I thought that a year on it was probably time to tell you my University application story. The truth is, I applied for a course I didn’t really want to do; hear me out, it wasn’t like I wasn’t passionate about the subject, I did however find it extraordinarily […]

I’ve learnt a lot from my first year of University, and most of it hasn’t really come from my lectures. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve doing a lot of studying and reading up throughout my various modules, but I guarantee I’ve learnt more, even if it’s about far more trivial subjects, from the new people […]

As all Leicester University students will know, Oadby, i.e. the mother-ship, is the Leicester suburb home to the majority of our University’s halls. I have a lot of love for Oadby, primarily because most of my first year was spent, when not at the University itself, pottering around the various flats and other facilities there; […]

Wishing to begin a discussion on sex and relationships, particularly at university, I thought I’d start with something that, although hard hitting, is relevant to me. Just under a year ago I went through a difficult breakup, after ending my most serious relationship to date. It’s taken me a long time to adjust, and it’s […]
