Things to do in Leicester!
For this week I thought I’d do a post on a selection of things you can do across Leicester City, all easily accessible through public transport. This definitely isn’t exhaustive as there is always something going on, whether it be a festival or something new opening up – but it is a good starting point […]
Studybucks: Heatwave edition ☀️??
So Summer has fallen upon us and in blazing and broiling glory, that I am in love with. It is not often we have the privilege to bask in such hot conditions in the UK, and I am making the most of it. But of course, one of the best ways to make the […]
How to Celebrate Your Freedom
So exams are over, and now it’s time to celebrate. The question is how; not because you can’t figure out how to celebrate but because there’s so much choice. So many amazing ways to spend your free time, and that’s why I am here to tell you, you don’t have to ‘decide’. You are swimming […]
Studybucks: Revision Edition ???
So, it’s spring – which means that exam season is impending, and if you’re anything like me, it means you’ll get tired of studying day-in-day-out in the same place. So, me being me, I’ll naturally travel to my second home: Starbucks. But wait – it’s no longer cold and christmassy. You no […]

And it’s around this time of year that I love to […]
Leicester Hot Spot: Saints of Mokha
I’m a huge fan of coffee shops. I can study in one for hours just because I love the ambiance and the smell of coffee. My favourite one is called 200 Degrees, but today’s spotlight falls on another one that I went to a few days before I left Leicester for Christmas holiday. […]
