Coffee Addiction
If I was to be asked if I had any bad habits it would be that I drink too much coffee. My day does not start without it and my day is not complete till I’ve consumed at least another two cups from my morning fix. With the university being so centrally located, it is […]
It’s a wonderful time of the year!
Leicester is a great place to be around the Christmas period. You can really feel it in the atmosphere and most definitely around the city centre. The lights are up and get switched on as soon it starts to get dark. The little nativity decorations are up in front of the town hall, surrounding the […]
Leicester Love
As someone who has lived in Leicester their whole life, there are things which bug me but more importantly there are many more things that I love about Leicester! Multiculturalism – Leicester is a very very diverse place. We are not short of many places of worship (mosques, churches, temples…). Plus we have the biggest […]
2016 so far…
Now 2016 has been a great year if you’re either a betting person or a politics student. This year has seen the unpredicted happen. The saying “expect the unexpected” really rings true to 2016 so far. Leicester City won the Premier League back in May (which seems like a lifetime away right now) with odds […]
A farewell blog
As I was walking onto the stage at De Montfort Hall on Friday 15th July to receive my degree certificate I was feeling a huge mixture of emotions. I was hugely proud and happy to be graduating with a First Class Honours in Sociology but sad that my three years at University had come to […]

Having celebrated all day (and night) on Friday and attending the Riverside Festival with my housemates yesterday its only now that I have had time to think that its sunk in that my time […]
How having a fridge can make you feel lonely
After a lovely 10 day break the lectures for my semester two modules began this week. I was very much looking forward to the Space, Place and Contemporary Culture module as the content sounded very interesting and it is run by a lecturer who I know to be very good from previous modules. But I […]

Continuing on from my last blog which outlined the modules I completed in my first semester of my first year at university this blog will tell you what the course entailed in the second semester. Again all of these modules were compulsory… Society in Transformation: This was my favourite module of first year! It was […]
The structure of a Sociology degree at the University of Leicester
Those of you who are looking at going to university in September have probably decided what degree you want to do (or have at least narrowed it down to a couple of choices) and are now in the process of applying to various universities. It is therefore getting to the time to start thinking about […]
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
I have done a lot of blogs about essays and exams and everything else about uni (because that is what they’re meant to be about after all), but I thought I would dedicate my final blog of December to sharing with you the highlights of my 2015 Christmas break which, so far, I have really enjoyed because […]
