Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.
Summer goes by so slowly and so quickly all at the same time, it’s so strange. But, term is starting so soon and I’m just buzzing to get final year finished with! Before I wanted to get into the heavier blog posts about uni, student life, finding your life’s calling, etc., I wanted […]
How I keep organised, revisited
Almost a year ago, I wrote a post about my complex system of organisation and how I manage my time. Well, almost a year later, the system is no longer overly complex, as it’s been stripped down to the bare necessities, so I wanted to revisit it. Digital calendar The first thing I […]
My ever-changing career path, Pt. II
It’s been a really windy road to figuring out what I want to do with the rest of my life. I realised that I hadn’t been honest with myself about my passions, because something had stopped me every time from admitting my one, true passion for the media and entertainment industry. It’s really […]
Lei, You’ve Taught Me A Lot
My time at Leicester has genuinely been the best of my life so far. As cringey as that sounds, it’s true. So, here is a lengthy account of some of the greatest things I’ve learned from my time at Leicester: 1. Follow your gut. It’s usually right. Something I’ve come to […]

All because I believe these theories can have life-changing consequences if we listen and apply them. The one I watched today was about how to approach making difficult decisions. […]

Learn from me and don’t take the easy way out
As many of my friends are aware, I ‘have a degree in Music’ from the Canadian university I attended before coming to Leicester. We’ll get to that. In law, we get the rare treat of being able to selectively revise for our exams. Naturally, it’s not recommended, but it’s the most strategic way […]
Take everything you see with a grain of salt
In the tumultuous time that is revision and exams (1 down, 2 to go!!), I was having a spontaneous late-night chat with my housemate the other night. We chatted about various things, but the last thing she said really struck a chord with me. She told me that, in reading through my blog posts, […]
You’re you, not them
One thing I advocate a lot is the fact that we should not compare ourselves to others. This is a particularly pertinent issue during exam time when everyone is working towards the same deadlines. If there’s anything I’ve learned it’s that every person is different. Me, personally? I hate working during the day. […]
Don’t give up!
It’s the last week of revision, before exams start, so everyone is in panic mode. But, have no fear – I’m here to help! Thought of the day: take good care of yourself and revision will fall into place. All you have to do is suffer through these next few weeks, and then summer officially […]
