“But Miss, are you a REAL teacher?”
It’s a short post this week, as I thought I’d share something I’ve been thinking about a lot this week. It’s not a long thought, so there’s not much I can write, but it’s interested me all the same. Imagine the scenario. You’re a trainee teacher, meeting a class for the first time. Alternatively, you’ve […]
Tips: How To Write A Good Motivation Letter
This week I found out that I’d been accepted into the EDHEC to study an MSc in Finance; so next year, for the second time in two years, I’ll be saying goodbye to England and bonjour to the South of France. I’m convinced that one of the main reasons I got into the school was […]
Catching You Up
Well, hello! It’s the 9th November, and I’ve not written a blog since July. Have you missed me? Maybe, maybe not, but I’m back regardless. The difference? I’m no longer the undergraduate maths blogger, I’m blogging as a postgraduate! (The maths blog has been taken over by the lovely Lois, whose blogs I’m thoroughly enjoying. […]
3 Jobs, 1 Degree and a Social Life
Hands up if you’ve ever been told that it’s hard juggling a part time job and a full time degree? I’ve heard it thousands of times and whilst it is true, it can be done. It’s all about good time-management. In my first year of uni, I worked part-time at John Lewis and got a 2:1 but I had […]
Interning in the City
An internship is a great opportunity to experience what it’s like working in the ‘real world’. It can help you confirm your aspirations and career goals, or make you realise that actually, you don’t want to be an Auditor. This week is my second week interning in London at a real estate company. I’ve been […]
A Letter to the University of Leicester
Dear University of Leicester, I have started and restarted this blog post two or three times now, in search of the right words to sum up my graduation experience. I couldn’t do it. It still doesn’t feel real yet. So, instead, I am writing to you to summarise my time here; to summarise the time […]
Summer³
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 […]
The End of the Month? Already??
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.
When I Grow Up, I Want to Be…
I recently wrote a blog in which I discussed my plans for the future. However, then, in my Varsity post, I hinted that things might have changed a tad. “How’ve they changed, Jess? What’s the new plan?”, I hear you cry. (Actually, I don’t, but let’s just pretend, for the sake of blog content!)
