Yes, I can imagine what you are probably thinking but don’t worry, this is not a beginners’ guide to sprinting. It is, however, a guide to one of those extracurricular activities I promised to blog about. Ladies and gentlemen, (well in this case ladies but you will understand why in a moment) […]

Today, I will be writing about one of the perks of being a modern language student; the MLSC. What is it you ask? It’s the Modern Language Study Centre! One of my favourite places on campus. It’s on the 6th floor in Ken Edwards. It is a great place to study, practise […]

¡Hola! Yes, you guessed it right. I’m going to Spain and it’s going to be an incredible experience! Why am I so sure? Well, I can never be certain but I am currently preparing and planning for my year abroad which is why I thought it would be useful to give […]

Have you seen Pulp Fiction? It’s a Tarantino cult classic that’s hard to forget with its copious amounts of cocaine, guns and bizarrely mundane dialogue throughout (there’s 5 minutes of screen time dedicated to a conversation about foot-rubs…). It’s a dialogue near to the beginning of the film that I wanted to talk about in […]

“Your final year will go by so quickly!” Eight words every final year student is told thousands upon thousands of times. Eight words every final year student doubts…until they realise that they’re practically already half way through Term 1. I cannot describe how fast the last four weeks have gone by. I feel like I can now […]

I’m writing this on a Sunday afternoon from the comfort of my brand new student house! I moved back up to Leicester a week ago and, safe to say, everything has been GO GO GO! As ever, unloading my boxes and boxes of clothes, stationary and course books required both of my housemates to lend […]

Freshers. It’s a word you’ll grow tired of by the second week of term, yet you’ll use it right up until your last day as a first year student. Why? Because you’re only a true fresher once and it is the most surreal, unusual, brilliant thing! The first year of university is an adventure to put it lightly […]
