A few weeks ago, I went down to Bournemouth with my Mum and Dad to watch them do an incredible thing; they swam 1.4 miles in the sea, from Bournemouth pier to Boscombe pier. They have done many open water swimming events before, but this is the first one that I got the pleasure of […]

Which includes my dissertation; I’m chuffed to say that it’s completely finished and handed in!!! I can’t begin to tell you how amazing a feeling it is to have finished such a huge piece […]

The second bank holiday weekend in May brought one of my first ever experiences of holidaying in England… and it did not disappoint. It was so nice to get out of Leicester and spend some quality time with uni friends. Because I’m intercalating this year, and some of my friends aren’t, it means that we […]

It’s a stressful time for most university students at the moment as it’s the height of exam and deadline season. It’s super important to take time for yourself and find an activity that can help relieve some of that stress. I know it’s sometimes difficult to take an hour out of work to do something […]

Writing a dissertation is a pretty common thing that people have to do at uni, and I’m sure everyone is aware that it’s a huge task. Maintaining interest in a subject for months on end, to produce 12,000 words is quite a mean feat and an incredible achievement. A lot of people have finished their […]

When I turned 21, I received a ‘big apple’ from my parents with the words ‘3 days in…’ written on it. A year and a half on and my New York dream has finally come true! My parents and I spent 4 and a half days over the bank holiday weekend exploring New York. It […]
