Farewell
Time has flown past and my time at university seems to have come to an end as quickly as it began. Graduation is complete and I am now officially no longer a student at the University of Leicester! Before I started uni I was often told by people that had been to uni that it […]
The final stretch
How did it come round so quickly? This is the question I have been thinking for the past few days. At 5pm this Friday all of my University submission will be finished. This last term has been hectic to say the least and I have been so busy working hard on my various modules that […]

Christmas time and the end of term
