University 101: The Art of Budgeting
The start of University equals the start of independent adult life. I didn’t believe this at first as movies and media seem to portray University as one big party but of course, reality bit me on the backside. For once in your life, you have a big sum of money and no one to tell […]
Making The Most Out Of Unitemps
Picture the scene. Lights, camera, and action. Enna walks onto set, with a dazzling smile. A star is born. Ha. Just kidding. Last week, I had the great opportunity to partake in the University Prospectus Photoshoot. I applied for the position on Unitemps and was chosen to do the shoot along with other students from […]
Student Friendly Halloween Costumes
Halloween is looming upon us and thus it’s time to start prepping those costumes, now being students we’re not about splashing cash on a £45 Harley Quinn outfits, so I thought I’d give you a low down on some cash friendly Halloween outfit ideas! 1) Liquid Latex (£2.75) – This is literally the most […]
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 […]
Life after Uni: The Career Service

I love my job as an Ambassador too much, it’s actually upsetting having to refrain from requesting shifts! Nonetheless, I decided to take a couple of days off so I could work on a massive event that […]
Getting My Gym Membership Back
Hello! I’m finally back in Leicester! My parents flew here with me and stayed for a couple of days, mainly to help me get rid of spiders around the house (I’m working on my fear, I swear) and so that they could eat fish&chips. I think it was worth it 😉 Now I’m trying to get […]
Paid Psychology Experiments This Week
When I came back to Leicester to work, my goal was to earn as much money as I physically could over these two weeks. So, in addition to working as Graduation staff and as Ambassador during two Open Days, I also signed up for some paid psychology experiments! During term time we have always been […]
Working as a Graduation Helper
Hello! I know I’ve been a bit silent lately, but the problem was that I went home and realised I had nothing to do! Sure it was nice being home, seeing my family and some friends, and overall not having to worry about food and bills. And I missed my mountains so much (I live […]
