As term is coming closer to its end, it’s the time of the year when everyone is getting ill. Combine cold weather, student heating (because who needs to pay to turn the heating on when you can just put on a jumper?), long hours, deadlines and a lack of sleep; you’ve got a breeding ground […]

I’m often guilty of saying I’ll make the most of my summer, but when the holidays actually come around I stay in bed until 3pm and then spend the rest of the day watching Netflix. Sound familiar? Due to my year abroad, it worked out that I had a 5 month summer (oi oi!) so […]

Hello! I’m Lois and I’ll be this years blogger for the Maths Department. I’m going into my third year on the BSc Mathematics with a year in the USA degree. I thought I would do a little post so you could get to know me (seeing as you’ll probably be seeing a lot of me this […]

So… I’m finished? My degree is over? Just over two weeks ago I sat my last exam, and in doing so, completed my maths degree. I can’t quite process that fact, even now. Once the initial excitement was over, I didn’t know how to feel. My brain kept telling me I should be revising or […]

Where on earth did April go? And, on that note; where did the Easter break go? I feel like I’ve turned away and looked back to find the holiday ran past me.

I’m a Graduate. It’s so crazy the whole thing (even two weeks later) still feels very surreal, I guess it’s like with anything – you don’t just wake up the next morning and feel like you’re a completely different person – it just kind of hits you one day when you look back on […]

Like a tin of well-known fence paint, this post will be about what the extremely imaginative title suggests. In the midst of (I wish I could say hardcore but that’s definitely pushing it… a lot) revision, I was just thinking about life when I realised, it’s actually still vacation time for the university! With the […]

Home sweet home! Sad to think that next time I return home for more than a weekend I won’t be returning to Leicester after (cue tears) and from my last few posts, you can tell I’m not overly excited about the end of university life as it really is, the experience of all experiences. Having […]

Woohoo! It’s Shrove Tuesday, aka one of my favourite days of the year and with three weeks left until we break up for Spring holidays, I can’t help but feel a mixture of emotions about my time at university and Leicester coming to an end. We passed the halfway mark in the semester last week […]

Now that exams have come and gone and we’ve all had more than our fair share of fun in refreshers, life in Oadby seems to have gone back to normal again as we all ease ourselves into semester two. I’m lucky enough to have been given the option to sit my second year at one […]
