How Coldplay will help me remember Leicester
As all good things must come to an end, so too must a very mediocre University blog. But before I leave you all, I would like to share a final message about what I’ve learnt at University and my time living in Leicester…through the medium of noughties alternative rock music. So I’m guessing that […]
5 years later…
“You couldn’t have picked a worse a day for it” was something I heard quite a lot on my graduation day. Not that the rain could put a damper (literally) on what was a special day for everyone, but an hour of nice weather would’ve been appreciated. And not since a childhood picture of me […]

Leicester 101
Welcome everyone to the first of (hopefully) many blog posts! Firstly let’s give a big hand to last year’s blogger Lois for doing a great job for the department and we wish her the best of luck as she begins studying her MSc in France. Now, there’s a little bio at the bottom of the […]
