Yesterday evening, after three arduous years of studying Media and Sociology at the University of Leicester, I stuffed a car full of my personal belongings and timeless memories, as my last journey home commenced. Today, I have officially finished university and as I await my distinction results, I reflect on some wonderful memories that have […]

I’ve been back for less than three weeks now and term has just kicked off. If I’m honest, I found it incredibly difficult to settle in to uni this term and the thought of my dissertation looming over me has been unsettling to say the least. I’m not really sure why, perhaps the whole ‘change’ […]

I’m just about to enter my third year of university (dun dun dun) and strangely enough I’m not nervous. There feels like a bizarre prerequisite for students to be panicked in their last years of uni but I’m not feeling the stress yet. However, I’m sure this ‘easy like a Sunday morning’ feeling will cease to exist after […]

As I’m sure you will be aware (for your own sake I hope you are, otherwise I’d be worried) that A-level results day is fast approaching and shortly many of you will be faced with a huge decision, potentially effecting the remainder of your life (no pressure).

As I look forward to beginning my third year as a Media and Sociology student with the university in September time, the D-word is looming over me like a dark cloud – Dissertation. Having taken a gap year before my first year of university, I have been subject to the hopeless moaning of some friends […]

Occasionally, there are times when I feel blessed with the structure of my course (Media and Sociology – soon to be Media and Society). Because of the dual subjects, sometimes the arrangement can be a little different when compared to other straight subjects. For instance, this January I had one exam, compared to the usual […]

This morning, one of my seminar tutors provided the class with a very useful link to The Guardian Media Brief. Here, you can sign up to a service on behalf of The Guardian, where they send you a low down of the best news for the day. You can sign up to the service and […]

As a Media and Sociology student, a vast selection of my course is focused around ‘The Media’ – shock horror, I know. I found it quite surprising recently, when one of my lecturers had to explain the importance of becoming familiar with the various media platforms around us. I had always assumed that university students […]

Don’t get me wrong, throughout my second year of Media and Sociology, I have really enjoyed mentally hurling myself into the course and most things that it represents. By taking part in a joint degree, you’re presented with a vast variation of topic content, covering extremely relatable and relevant subjects. So, it’s quite difficult to […]
