Why Psychology at the University of Leicester?
I started being interested in Psychology at a young age after reading books like Catcher in the Rye and Perks of Being a Wallflower – both of which have leading characters whom suffer from some sort of trauma or mental illness. Being a film lover too, movies such as Along Came a Spider, Prisoners and […]
UCAS Personal Statements: The DO’s and DON’Ts
I know, I know…personal statements can be daunting. It took me around 5 different drafts, 3 different teachers and 8 different friends to “perfect” my personal statement. I started writing it long before my UCAS application was due as it really does take a lot of time and effort. Many people do not think […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

Last week I had my first wave of panic about my future after I graduate next year. I knew this would happen (probably quite often) in my third year but I still wasn’t prepared. I ended up with about a thousand tabs open (slight exaggeration there. Is it even possible to have a thousand tabs […]
What Next?
Hey guys. Sadly, this is going to be my last blog post. So much happened in the past few weeks, and so much more is about to happen! Right now I’m typing from London, where I am working as a Community Facilitator for NCS The Challenge. It’s definitely proving to be hard work, but very […]
Moving out and Getting a New Place (and a 1st!)
Now University is officially over, and I am extremely happy to say I have achieved a First Class Honours Degree in Psychology! 😀 The past few days have been hectic to say the least. I have been dealing with packing ALL my stuff, finding a storage facility and taking it there, finding a new place […]
Life after Uni: The Career Service
Campus is weird after exams. The library is basically empty, but there are still people around the Students Union and the park! I keep meeting friends randomly, which is awesome and is definitely something I will miss about uni life. But everyone is getting ready to leave. Right now I’m applying for jobs for next […]
