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 […]
Is this whole university thing worth it? (hell yeah!)
Picture this: your alarm goes off at 7am, your bedroom’s dark, the first thing your hear after you snooze your alarm is the rain coming down hard against your window and the only thing keeping you warm is your thick, cosy duvet that you’ve woken up cocooned in. You have a lecture at 9am and […]
A distance learning benefit
We distance learners don’t get to enjoy the fun of Fresher’s Week, but we can take our course with us on our travels anywhere around the world. I’ve just returned home from a few days in Cyprus, where I’m fairly certain that the weather was nicer than it was in Leicester! My holiday also explains […]
See the world
So, I’m currently writing this 30000 feet in the air somewhere above the USA. I’m on my way to Dallas where I’ll be getting a connecting flight to Los Angeles (*squeals in excitement*). Aside from panicking that my luggage won’t be in LA to meet me and trying not to think about the fact I […]
Psychology in the real world
So, this doesn’t really have anything to do with what I wanted to talk about in this post but I just have to tell you about my weekend. I had the best weekend ever last week in NYC and I’ve officially fallen in love with this city (no seriously, any people that walk into my […]
First post!
Hello! My name is Emily and, after an awesome summer in the USA, I’ll be coming back to Leicester in September for the third year of my psychology degree. I can’t believe I’m going into my third year already; it feels like only yesterday that I was about to move into halls (and absolutely terrified). […]
Good Times: Parents Over and Pancake Day
Hello! I realise I haven’t written much in the past two weeks, and admittedly it’s been due to being extremely busy. But now I’m finding the time to write you about stuff that’s been happening lately! Just to mention one small thing…. my parents came to visit me over the weekend!! 😀 I was so […]
Fun Days in London and the Importance of Owning a Railcard
Hello! I’m almost ready to start lectures again… I say almost just because I’m having such a great time!! An Italian friend came to visit me for a few days, and we had so much fun! First we went to the Harry Potter Studios in London… because come on, I grew up with Harry Potter […]
Final week in Leicester!
So the last few weeks have been crazily busy but in a good way. Morocco was incredible-the best part for me was having a camel ride in the desert (as shown below :]). We then camped overnight and had a campfire, looking up at the stars. After […]
Budapest, “Paris of the East”
And it really is. I had five incredible days there with some of my bezzies. The first day included a walking tour around all the main sights and a cycle trip around the island in one of these three-man bikes: During […]
