Thank you and Goodbye, Leicester
As it’s now been exactly two weeks since I graduated I thought it was about time to do my final post *sobs*. If you’d have told me three years ago when I was having a meltdown because I didn’t think I could hack moving into halls that, by the time it was over, I’d be […]
I’m officially a psychology graduate
I did it! I’m have officially graduated from the University of Leicester with a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology (2:1 in case you’re wondering!). I could not be happier! Graduation day came and went in a bit of a blur if I’m totally honest. The day started with collecting my cap and gown […]
Use your Voice!
Today is the day that we, the United Kingdom, vote on whether we want to remain in the European Union or leave it (I hope everyone knows this already because, if not, where ya been, guys?!). I’m firmly on the side of remaining for unity, for inclusion, for better job prospects, for worker’s rights, for […]
It’s all over…
I finished my degree last week- last Saturday to be precise. It’s taken me nearly a week to write this because I’m still in denial. Even seeing the words written down doesn’t make it seem real. It seems like only yesterday that I was having a meltdown about the fact that I didn’t have […]
Leicester had a party!
I’m not sure many of you would have heard about this news because nobody seems to have mentioned it*, but LCFC won the premier league last night for the first time in their 132 year history! Yeahhh! *that was sarcasm yo I’m not even going to pretend to be a massive football fan, […]
The types of people you see in the library
Just lately I’ve spent so much time in the library that I might as well move my bed in there and be done with it (welcome to third year!). I was in there the other day (second floor yellow zone, obviously) staring out across Leicester’s very orange skyline, trying to ignore the fact that everyone […]
Looking forward to the future
Recently I’ve been thinking a lot about the next year or so of my life, since, you know, I’m in the final stretch of my undergraduate degree now (*sobs quietly in a corner*). I’ve decided to take a gap year when I leave uni (to get some psychology experience and do some travelling before probably […]
Young people are not free labour!
University would not have been possible for me had I not had a part-time job. I worked practically full-time through the summer before I came to uni, and I went home every weekend during first year to stay working part-time at this same job. After I’d been working there for two and a half years […]
Dissertation update
So, I’ve been sitting here doing not all that much really, thinking I’ve got ages until exam- heck, my exam timetable hasn’t even been released yet– when it suddenly dawned on me that I couldn’t remember the last time I looked at my dissertation. Oops. My dissertation is only 6000 words, which is around […]
Happy Easter!
Easter’s a bit weird isn’t it? Not from a religious point of view- I understand the religious meaning behind it- but all of the secular traditions that have come about because of it make zero sense to me. I mean, who decided that telling children that there’s a giant rabbit who goes to everyone’s houses […]
